[Accidental Video]

---m sorry.

Dad...

[A shadow dropped onto the Network device fades to reveal Umi from a strange vantage point: she's sitting, her face barely visible, her voice pained but determined.]

I didn't mean to. I-! [There's a pause, a frustrated sigh, and Umi shifts in place. We can now see she's alone, this picture clasped firmly

Comments

action; I never read metadata obviously. >>;;

[pharles_at_life]

[Presea was out and about running errands, and when she saw Umi's post, she thought it might be worthwhile to find the Knight. So here she is, shopping bag in one hand, and gentle smile on her face.]

Enjoying the outdoors?

[Yeah, she's noticed Umi's recent absence, but she isn't commenting on it quite yet.]

action; My fault for being poetic and unclear! >///<

[soulofocean]

[Umi looks up from her handbag, picture still in hand. She seems surprised, but not as much as she'd be if she hadn't noticed the device posted her musings to the Network.

She gives Presea a sheepish smile. This doesn't seem a chance encounter. Just like the Pharle to go find her.]

...Not sure about that. I think I just needed to clear my head for a while.

action; nah, my fail for not reading comprehensively.

[pharles_at_life]

[Presea nods and sits down next to Umi.] Understandable. It's been a rough couple of days for you, hasn't it?

action; well then, let's agree to share this fail. |Da ♥

[soulofocean]

Right. That's one way of putting it! Stuff... happened. Things I couldn't---

[A sigh. Umi looks down at the picture and strokes it with the back of her thumb, her father's smiling face beaming back at her from the photograph.

Her smile grows a bit more wistful.]

...That curse on Sunday was something.

I felt I should post some thing even if Eagle wouldn't :)

[eagleofautozam]

[Eagle also heard the young girl’s accidental message… but it hardly seemed the kind of thing an enemy should reply to… so instead, he politely decided never to mention it. Comforting the girl… would have to fall to some one else… ]

Awww ♥ Eagle so aloof. ;o;

[soulofocean]

[Umi would have appreciated it, though she certainly wouldn't have expected it from Eagle, considering the time he's from.]

Lol well..

[eagleofautozam]

[Even in ‘enemy’ mode he doesn’t like to see people sad. But, comforting Umi would be a problem as it could be possible that some one was going to suspect him of trying to trick her in some way. ]

;;;

[soulofocean]

[That's understandable, Eagle. Umi wouldn't want to compromise you! Besides far as your perspective goes you've only just met and this is indeed very personal.]

[bladed_siberian]

I got a great idea.

[soulofocean]

[Somehow that sounds foreboding. Takes a while to reply.]

Look, Ken... If you're thinking what I think you are...

voice

[bladed_siberian]

... and what do you think I'm thinking, Umi?

voice

[soulofocean]

...You first.

[everhoping]

Umi...?

[soulofocean]

...Riou! Uhm. Sorry you had to watch me while I'm all dumb and wibbly.

[everhoping]

It's okay... I don't think it's dumb and wibbly.

[soulofocean]

Thanks, Riou.

Still. That curse last Sunday... I bet it left a mark on lots of people.

[hweeeeeel]

Memories are... important.

[soulofocean]

Meredy...

You too? They really are. No wonder why the deities accept them as payment.

[hweeeeeel]

There are things that Meredy has forgotten, things I barely remember. Things that Meredy wants to remember- like family.

[soulofocean]

Just like-! ...How did that happen? Was it because of this place too?
