[Yuri continues to stare into space and more specifically the fountain in the wonderland district. Yeah it was no lower quarter fountain but it was the closest thing and he wouldn't admit it but he was feeling a bit homesick. He wasn't in the mood to deal with Splendor right now so he had put his seal on another bench along with his key. He had a

[He's trying to stay upbeat if just a little, but having Alice disappear on him yet again keeps a happy Decus down. As he's walking he sees Yuri looking a bit bummed to. Or at least he looked like that to Decus.]

Ah, I remember. The knight guy. He went back too huh? I wish this place would give some warning...

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

[He looks and oh hey it's that weird guy that knew Estelle. And he knew Flynn too huh? Decks? Debts...Decus that's it.]

Heh. That leaves all the fun of thinking you're going to be next.

[Action]

[burnerv2]

[Heh, that made him chuckle a bit.]

So what about you? Seeing everyone leave here and there. Makes you want to go back doesn't it?

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

I admit I'd rather be home then here. But, we're stuck in this place until it's our time, right?

[He chuckles a little]

I think I've been here longer then I've been out in my own world.

[Action]

[burnerv2]

Yeah, I've been here for who knows how long... I almost lost count of how long.

[Just a bit of quiet tone.]

I'm kinda scared to go back really...

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

Has it always been this boring here?

[He perks up at that and looks at the guy a bit curious]

Hm? Why?

[Action]

[burnerv2]

[Decus nods a bit. He didn't always think it was boring. In fact it wasn't all the time... just all the people he knew back then were gone now.]

Before I came here, I remember jumping in front of a sword to save my Alice.

[A small pause.]

She later showed here in Splendor... and now she's gone... I honestly don't know what's going to happen when I go back...

Will I go back and die? Will I go back and find my Alice dead instead?... or will I just disappear because I did die?...

[He knows it probably sounds pathetic. He used to not care, but coming here and meeting so many people... he kinda wants to keep living. But if his Alice really is gone... how can he keep on living?]

It's... just a lot to think about.

Re: [Action]

[heartscrepes]

[He listens a bit surprised but he keeps his poker face on. He would be hesitant to go back to his world if that would happen to him. His worry is what's going on in the world now. After a short pause he ]

I don't know what would happen but, either way, we would have to go back to our worlds sooner or later, and finish what we've started.

[He gives Decus a small smile]

Who knows, maybe everything works out for you. Sometimes swords don't kill you all the way.

[speaking from experience]

[Action]

[burnerv2]

[Finish what he started... that had a nice heroic ring to it. Was it the hesitation that kept people from going back? Did Alice go back because she came to peace with everything?

Yuri's right. It's just a case of fearing the unknown...]

I wish I had your kind of resolve.

I used to not care about living really. I'd always proclaim I'd die for Alice. I still would ... but living here in peace without all the chaos and status...

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

Heh, if you did, you would get in a lot more trouble.

[He turns to look at Decus and gives him a bit of a curious look, guessing what he was going to say]

...Makes you value your life and want to keep on living? If you really liked Alice, then maybe that wouldn't matter in the end.

[Action]

[burnerv2]

[Almost perfectly mind read.]

Maybe not even value my life ... Alice and I grew up isolated. I wanted her to stay and accept it ... I don't think she ever did. Maybe our fate would be different if we'd shown up here sooner... or at least mine.

[He remembered Estelle's reaction from a while back when he mentioned Yuri...]

Do you have anyone like that? Someone special like Alice is to me?

[action] Sorry for late post ;;

[heartscrepes]

[He does that sometimes.]

There's always a chance to change, you just have to go out and do it.

[The question kinda catches him off guard but he smiles What did Estelle do]

I have a lot of people I care about back home.

[Oblivious and stupid thy names are Yuri]

[action] Double sorry for doubly late post .w.

[burnerv2]

[A lot of people he could care about. That sounded real nice.]

I guess you're right. Proof is I've changed a bit already in my time here.

[Sad Decus is now a calm Decus.]

You're pretty good with cheering people up...

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

There you go.

[URK! Nope, he did not hear that. That's not possible. You have been denied]

Nah, must be your imagination.

[Action]

[burnerv2]

My imagination huh?

[Aha, someone doesn't like to be complimented. A small joke.]

Well I heard I do at times. So ... should I thank my imagination for cheering me up?

[Action]

[heartscrepes]

[W-what are you talking about? Course he doesn't mind compliments >> Just loves them << no one needs to know]

Heh, if it makes you feel better go for it.
