Re-introduction. 11-12's return

[villageson]

A young man appeared on the horizon. He looked a little lost, frowning as he peered around. This place looked familiar but for the moment he can't place it

Welcoming committee, have one! ^^

You know how you were thinking lately that people you love seem to fall off the face of the earth? Well - that's how Angelique felt, when she started running around to find 11-12 and give him her Big News.

And she was on her way to the construction site where Sir Parsifal is building his new chapel -- and the silhouette...

She breaks into a run, crazily happy to see her friend again, and reduces her pace to a canter half-way - her constitution was never strong.

--"11-12~ I've looked for you everywhere!"

<3

[villageson]

11-12 looks up when he sees someone running toward him then hearing her voice and seeing her face his smile brightens. He hurries to her, stopping when they're close but looking as if he wanted to hug her.

"I... I don't know what happened exactly. I... how long have I been away?" He knew time could work in strange unstable ways.

^___^

[fairy_fingers]

She would love to be hugged! But she's also Victorian. But they've hugged before! And maybe after a slight hesitation, if he allows, she might actually utterly trample 11-12 with a hug, much more energetic than he might be used to.

"-- too long," she'll tell him, softly. "I missed you a lot. What happened?"

[villageson]

He looks startled by the enthusiastic hug but welcomes it, hugging her back. Purely in a friendly or brotherly way, of course.

"It's hard to say. It's kind of... like a dream or something," he explained. "One day I woke up in another place. Well, kind of in a few other places. I met my parents... My real parents. I found out that my mother is still alive and... everything is... fine but different than I expected it to be." He sounds thoughtful but calm.

And later in the day, then....

[kamloops_rose]

... there's a Delilah who wouldn't mind hearing from 11-12. She's also much calmer than he last saw her, composed again, and generally in a good mood.

She's sitting on the porch and sanding a rather large piece of wood, while she hums to herself.

[villageson]

After settling in again, he made his way out to the porch, hearing an odd noise he looked toward the humming sander.

He smiles as he recognises the woman, although his voice is a little shy.

"Hello..."

[kamloops_rose]

She looks up, and gives him a happy, friendly grin. "Oh, hello," she replies, and pauses in her work. "It's been a while, has it not?"

[villageson]

"I think so. I haven't seen this place for months," 11-12 said, though he hadn't been absent from here as long as he had from the outside.

"How are you?" He noticed her happier grin.

[doctor_pascal]

This one is utterly unchanged. Pascal can be found, unsurprisingly, in the living room, reading.

But he won't mind being interrupted in the least - in fact, he'll admit to having been quite worried when he noticed 11-12's disappearance.

[villageson]

11-12 wanders into the living area, glancing nervously around for familiar faces. Seeing one, he hesitantly approaches. He sits down nearby and just watches Pascal for the time being.

[doctor_pascal]

After a moment, feeling watched, Pascal looks up. "-- 11-12. Mon Dieu, it's been a long time..."

[villageson]

"Yes, it has," he offered a hesitant smile then glanced downwards.

The night of the red moon, Tsuzuki had started to worry that 11-12 had become Muraki's first victim, since he hadn't seen the young man in some time; even when he learned that Shilo Wallace was the target of his nemesis, he still worried about the shy young man he had met that first day of his arrival. Thus, when 11-12 enters the kitchen, he'll find a very relieved Tsuzuki there, eating a bowl of soup as he waits for the tea kettle to boil.

"Hey there, 11-12, where've you been? I was starting to worry about you, buddy."

[villageson]

After finding his room and talking to some people, 11-12 found that he was hungry so he indeed headed for the kitchen. Seeing Tsuzuki he gave the man a smile, looking definately more relaxed than the last time they'd spoken.

"I was... I went away. I didn't mean to but I've been to some other places. Learned a lot about... myself and other people. But then I found myself back here," he looked pleased about that. "How have you been?"

[cute_shinigami]

"Well, if you found what you needed to find while you were wandering, then it was all for the best," he says. "But I kept busy while you were gone: I've been digging a pond in the front lawn and planting some flowers around it, too. So if the place looked a little different, I had something to do with it.

"Hey, are you hungry? I'm just having lunch now, but I could make some more for you."

[villageson]

"You did that? It's lovely."

He nodded. "Thanks. Do you mind? I haven't eaten since I got back."

Armand is in the kitchen trying to make cookies. They're for his lady love. He's burnt a few, but he's determined not to lose track of this batch. He's nibbling on one of the burnt ones, trying to wipe down the counter with his other hand. Thusly, he may be a bit distracted and not notice 11-12 if he comes to the kitchen. But he'll be glad to see him when he is noticed.

[villageson]

11-12 does see Armand and looks at what he's doing curiously before speaking up, "Armand?" Then he asked: "What are you doing?"

[league_mascot]

"I'm baking." And he does manage a smile though he looks a bit harried. "Perhaps I should have just made more ice cream." Although he doesn't know how to make it without fresh snow.

[villageson]

"I'd offer to help but I'm no cook... I wouldn't know where to start," he said apologetically.

"How have you been?"
