Life here in Luceti does not seem to be much different from that of Aselia. People lead similar lives here as they would there.

Even I, too, have not had much difficulty adjusting to life here. The only noticeable difference is a drop in my own powers...

[Richter's in the next room, trying to ignore the fact that Tenebrae is sitting on the other side of the door. Emil, why'd you have to leave him there while going shopping? Now Richter can't shake the paranoid feeling that the Centurion might come waltzing through the wall any second, to confront him with what's happened in the Ginnungagap. Tenebrae still doesn't know the full story, after all.]

[action]

[judge_evening]

I see.

[Pause. ... Well, this is awkward. Something needs to added.]

... Just don't get in my way.

[action]

[is_watching_you]

I'll try not to burden you.

[action]

[judge_evening]

Hm.

[he turns and heads for the door so he can go find Emil. The kid can't have wandered off too far... Probably the kitchen.]

[action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Sure enough, Emil is in the kitchen, boiling some water to make tea. He can't shake the uneasy feeling that they were talking about him, however, and he wonders what exactly is being discussed and how much each one is telling the other.]

[Tenebrae's gonna wander over to the groceries, in the meantime, and start putting some of the remaining groceries with that spiffy tail of his. Must be pretty... hand-y!]

[action]

[judge_evening]

[ho ho, Emil, do you need another hand? Richter's got two, and they're not attached to a tail. He'll help with the remaining bag of groceries.]

[action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[He still can't quite get over how strange it is to have both Tenebrae and Richter here in the same room, not fighting or arguing... and helping put away groceries instead. This... is rather surreal.]

Um, the tea will be ready in a moment.

[action]

[is_watching_you]

I'm certain it'll be wonderful, Lord Emil.

[action]

[judge_evening]

So it will.

[he finishes putting the groceries away and takes a seat while waiting.]

[action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Once the water has boiled, he sets about brewing two cups of tea, one for himself and one for Richter.]

Tenebrae, do you want one too?

[Centurions didn't need to eat, he knew that, but he feels it would be polite to ask anyway.]

[action]

[is_watching_you]

That would be lovely, Lord Emil.

[action]

[judge_evening]

[Mmm, tea. Don't mind Richter, he's already sipping at his cup.]

[action]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Right, three cups it is, then. When it's ready, he places it on the table for Tenebrae and then takes a seat across from Richter.]

What were you two talking about anyway?

[action]

[is_watching_you]

[Tenebrae's tail snakes around and grasps hold of the cup, lifting it to his lips. He takes a sip.]

Mmm... As the two adults here, we felt it was prudent to have a discussion, alone.

[action]

[judge_evening]

[Richter has nothing to add to that, instead focussing on his tea. Sorry, Emil. You don't need to know about the conversation.]
