[ Croix's house feels empty today, and he knows it. It took him some hours to stop his own denial that she would be gone after so long. In some part, after all the confusion, he knew that she was fine in their world. Even so, it still hurt that he couldn't be there to protect her anymore. There were many thoughts inside his head, so Croix decided

[ Lacus never had a sibling, but she lost her father and her heart tore apart. ]

She is gone? Miss Cocona... she is gone?

Croix, is it possible that she was sent home?

[spear_master]

[ There's a small nod at that. ]

Lacus... [ Unconsciously dropping the honorific for now. ] Yes, she has returned to our world.

[ She notices it, but she doesn't mind. They were friends after all. ]

I'm sorry... this must have come to a surprise to you...

If you ever need someone to talk to, I would be happy to listen.

I just never expected this to happen, if I was told it could be a possibility.

[ There's a small pause. ]

I'm really grateful for your concern, Lacus.

At least... she will be alright, won't she? She is home.

[ Though --- Cocona's stories of a tower and a frightening pit do worry her. ]

You are welcome. [ She gives a small smile. Croix in spirit was a strong person, wasn't he? He will be alright. ]

Yes, she will be with Luca and Lady Cloche. I know they will take care of her while I'm not there.

[ And they will kill him for being late, but let's skip that part. ]

I'm really glad that she could live this whole months with many friends. [ He's a knight, so he will endure it. ]

She is a very interesting person. I enjoyed talking to her.

[ Though she did worry like mad during the joust. But when Cocona talked about her interst in the stars and astronomy, it was enjoyable.

Lacus was wondering though... was Croix being honest with himself? Or was he just saying this to prevent others from worrying? ]

[spear_master]

I'm sure she feel the same.

[ He flipped some mentally tables at the joust, but he's not going to mention it. He makes a small pause. ]

I promise I will be fine, Lacus.

[ Blink blink. It seems he read what she was thinking. ]

Am I that obvious?

[spear_master]

Your eyes are telling me that you're worried.

[ There's a small smile at that. ]

[lc_whitequeen]

[ Smiling quietly. ]

I'm sorry. I cannot help it... I know you will be alright but...

[ Cocona was his sister, so she meant a lot to him. ]

video

[spear_master]

Don't apologize. I really appreciate that you are worried, Lacus.

[ It's just a matter of time... He really thinks so. ]

I'm not alone here.

video

[lc_whitequeen]

Is that so? You have friends here?

[ She feels much better hearing this. ]

[ ooc: I am so sorry... I am not getting notifs. ]

video

[spear_master]

[ There's a small smile. ]

Not from my world, but... Some people of this world feels like they are my friends in some way.

[ ooc: It's fine ♥ ]

[lc_whitequeen]

[ She smiles back, understanding what he meant. She was very touched to hear him say this. ]

You are a good person, Croix.

[spear_master]

[ He's really glad that she understood, because it really meant a lot. ]

I'm really flattered to hear that. And I do think the same about you, Lacus.
