[Only after Griffin is settled in back in his house does he post this message.]

For the record? I'm not dead.

AGI didn't get their bloody hands on me.

And I definitely didn't elope.

[That's right, he went back and saw that. It's why he's making the message, actually. Ella's concern had been strange enough for him to handle, he didn't know ( Read more... )

[ FJkwhgwa Rochelle is right. Seeing Griffin alive and all right DID make her a very happy person. She doesn't even laugh over the elopment theory -- yet. More importantly! ]

Griffin!!

Where are you?

[audio] limitedrun April 21 2011, 01:40:31 UTC

I'm... in my room. Where are you?

[ Oh that grin on her face and in her voice. It's like Christmas! ]

Heading back now. I had to get some groceries.

[ Hope you don't mind tight hugs, because you're going to get one, when she comes home. ]

[You're freaking him out with your cheer, Ella.]

Alright. I'll be here.

[ Action! ] of_frell April 21 2011, 22:27:07 UTC

[ She can't help that she's happy her roomie is back and okay! Also not responding, but she is hurrying back home just in case Griffin vanishes. Once sh reached the house, she put her bags down in the kitchen, then hurried to the stairs, half stepping up. ]

Griffin?

[ Still here, man? It would be a cruel joke otherwise. ]

[action] limitedrun April 21 2011, 22:51:05 UTC

[Of course, he's not a total asshole. (Despite his best efforts.)

Griffin was on the couch, watching a movie when she walked in. Die Hard. It's one of his feel-good movies. He paused it when she heard her voice.]

In here, Ell.

[ Ahah! She turned and made her way to the living room, pausing in the archway at the sight of Griffin sitting on the couch. So normal - didn't look hurt or ill. Good. She let out a silent sigh and smiled, briskly padding across the room to give the poor boy a heart attack. Because she's giving him such a tight hug, so glad to see he (seemed) all right. ]

[Her utter glee had been enough to startle him. The hug takes him completely by surprise.

Any other time, Griffin might have just patted her back awkwardly. But right then? The truth is that his emotions being restored left him feeling raw. His feelings are sharper. And after seeing himself as that monster, as that heartless thing, it's freaked him out more than he could admit. Seeing a friend again, the best friend he's had in years...

After a moment of freezing awkwardly, Griffin wraps his arms around her and hugs her back.]

[action] of_frell April 21 2011, 23:48:03 UTC

[ She'd honestly expected him to push her away, so she too, was mildly surprised when he returns the hug. After a moment, she leaned back to study his face carefully. ]

Are you sure you're okay? Where have you been? [ Carefully asking because she didn't want to overburden him when he was finally back - he probably just wanted to relax from ... whatever had him away. ]

[action] limitedrun April 22 2011, 02:22:08 UTC

[He lets go when she does, awkwardly rubbing his hands against his jeans. Griffin's not even sure why he's doing that.]

Uh... [How does he explain this one? It's a town where anything can happen, but a man dressed like a particularly flamboyant burlesque dancer eating out his metaphorical heart and turning him into a dragon? That's outlandish even by the Port's standards.]

Well, I am okay, so there's that.

[action] of_frell April 22 2011, 11:21:58 UTC

[ She laughs softly. Typical answer. ]

I can see that. I'm glad of it, believe me, I am. It's just... odd. [ She thought by now you would have left her a message or something if you were going to be gone a while. ]

[action] limitedrun April 22 2011, 23:19:09 UTC

[Griffin runs a hand through his hair. Well it's not like he can not tell her about this. He doesn't want to, really, but what if she ran into that thing? She has to know about it. Griffin just feels like an idiot.]

Alright. So back where you're from... All of this shi-- stuff. You know, the magic and the monsters and all of the weird things here. That's not as weird where you come from, right? I mean, from what you've told me, it sounds a bit fairytale.

[action] of_frell April 23 2011, 00:08:21 UTC

[ She arches an eyebrow slightly, taking a more attentive posture. ]

It's not weird at all. I mean, I see how you look at some of my cookware - [ The ones that stir when she sings or hums, or whistles. ] But that's ... pretty standard back home. Monsters too, of a sort. It's as real as I am.

[ Said the fairy tale character :3 ]

[action] limitedrun April 23 2011, 00:23:10 UTC

Okay.

[He exhales briefly. He's going to be in so much trouble.]

Look, just don't tell anyone? I don't... It's my business.

[action] of_frell April 23 2011, 01:10:06 UTC

[ She sits "at attention" for a second. Then quickly passes it off for leaning back against the chair. Ahaha. ]

I won't tell. [ Even if she wanted to, who would she tell? ] You know I know you value your privacy, Griffin.

[action] limitedrun April 23 2011, 02:07:05 UTC

[He catches that, but doesn't think much on it. Ella's always doing little weird things like that.]

Yeah. I ever thank you for that, by the way? [Griffin rubs the back of his neck. He really wishes he would stop saying the first thing that comes to mind.]

Alright. I was attacked last week. In the Darkness.
