So how many of you have spent the past few days looking for familiar faces? Or are you just overwhelmed by the crowds?

There's definitely something familiar about all of this.

Don't mind me just spamming you :|b

[once_knighted]

Yeah ... I can't shake the feeling that all this has happened before.

Careful, I'll get the impression that you like me or something

[sultrytempest]

I can't, either. It's strange to be without those memories, though.

We can't have that! That's supposed to be a secret! D|

[once_knighted]

Strange is one word for it. If it really did happen before and we were just made to forget it, I guess that means we're gonna forget this too.

Oh. My bad |Db

[sultrytempest]

I suppose that would help a lot of people cope with what's happened.

[once_knighted]

Yeah -- If anything, it's useful for that much. Still a little annoying either way, though.

[sultrytempest]

I'm sure we'll manage somehow.

[once_knighted]

Yeah, I don't doubt that.

So, run into anyone interesting?

[sultrytempest]

Yes! Ba'ul is here now.

[once_knighted]

... Huh. So I wasn't hallucinating.

[ ... ]

Is he alright in a place like this? It's a little ... small. [He's getting visions of Ba'ul flying into the barrier repeatedly but is figuring keeping that to himself would be a smart move here.]

[sultrytempest]

He knows about the barrier, and I've been speaking with him. We'll figure something out, I'm sure.

[once_knighted]

Yeah, I guess so. The mountains and desert should have enough room around them for him, if anything. That should be alright until we come up with something better.

[sultrytempest]

Mm, yes.

[There's a long pause, and then:]

I want to go with him.

[once_knighted]

[There's a pause on his end too. He doesn't want to tell her "no", but that statement was also a little ... vague. So--]

... What do you mean? [Although it's more or less supposed to mean "for how long?"]

[sultrytempest]

I haven't been with him for so long. I want to fly.

[Does she have to spell it out for you, Yuri.]

[once_knighted]

[Nah, he gets it at this point. And understands completely -- he feels like a bit of an ass for even wanting to hear a time limit of sorts. Something like that isn't fair, not after how long it's been since Ba'ul's been around.]

Then don't let me stop you. Go ahead.

[sultrytempest]

[She can't really blame him for how he feels- it would've been a hard choice if Repede had been somewhere far off, surely, and they have more than just themselves to worry about. Leaving Jonah behind would be unfair.

But still... it's Ba'ul. He doesn't even know about Jonah. She needs time with him.

She'd like to say all of this- explain it somehow, reassure him or something. But in the end, all she says is:]

...Thank you, Yuri.

[And she's off.]
