First Luke, then Jade, and now Saphir...it's disconcerting, to say the least.

I apologize for my delay in helping to arrange the meeting we've been discussing. I have no excuses, and my only explanation is that I was quite distracted.

That said, would this coming Friday work for everyone?

[[ooc: Just to clarify, that's an IC check for availability,

[enrappigtured]

How are you doing?

[enrappigtured]

More about the general issues of Luceti.

[offallingsnow]

Will you be able to behave yourself?

[that probably came out harsher than intended because she's just not in the mood for proper teasing]

[enrappigtured]

You know I can.

[He doesn't let it phase him. He knows she isn't 100% right now.]

[offallingsnow]

...My apologies, Your Majesty.

[enrappigtured]

There's nothing to apologize for.

[He's currently doing some stuff around town, but-]

I'll come see you later, if that's all right.

[offallingsnow]

You do live here.

[enrappigtured]

Just asking permission.

[offallingsnow]

You know you just have to knock.

[enrappigtured]

Well, now you know I'm coming in advance.

[offallingsnow]

[makes some sort of noise of acknowledgment and goes back to organizing something or other. And then she'll have that thread down there with Emil]

[enrappigtured]

[And some time later there'll be a knock on her door.]

[offallingsnow]

[oh. It's either Anise or Peony, she'd better get her composure back.]

Come in. [...nope. It took just saying that, no matter who it is at the door. When he comes in, she'll be busy with a tissue]

[enrappigtured]

[He opens the door, peering into the room concernedly.]

Nephry?

[offallingsnow]

[Oh, it's Peony. She wipes her eyes quickly and tries to look at him with a calm expression]

Yes?

[enrappigtured]

[She doesn't fool him, and he crosses the room to her side.]

What's wrong?
