WHO: Luke and Ion.
WHAT: One slightly overprotective redhead meets up with the former Fon Master of the Order of Lorelei.
WHERE: Just outside the Crimson Dragon Inn, heading towards the Market District.
WHEN: Late in the evening.
He was still at the inn. It was comfortable, and it wasn't like he was paying money to stay there. It was just a little...weird, to think about making a home here--and moving out of the Crimson Dragon meant settling. Luke didn't want to settle.
He wasn't as anxious about being stuck here as some people, but he still didn't want to settle here.
Maybe it was the hyperresonance. Maybe it was because he'd been forcibly taken from the only world he knew once before that he wasn't freaking out about it now. Of course then, he'd had Tear with him, but he had some friends with him now, too. More were showing up every day.
The most recent had been Ion. Luke didn't know how to pin down what it had been like, seeing Ion's familiar handwriting in the pages of his journal. The Fon Master had died in his arms at Mt. Zaleho. Ion had sacrificed himself for Tear, for all of them. And now he was here.
He was here.
It was time to start looking for him.
