I had wondered how I'd get this back, but... it was on the table when I woke up.
[Silence reigns for a few moments. When Souji speaks up, however, he does so with a small smile. It's clearly a taut little thing, but it remains earnest, and the gratitude in it is genuine.]I would like to thank everyone who helped bring me back. Yosuke told me it ( Read more... )

[Unseen, something a little like a wince flickers on his face for a moment. He goes on calmly however, of course, undeterred.]
When I was on my way to meet Suzaku for patrols, I - found a banshee at the well. She sang to me - an old folk ballad from a region of my world. I was on my way home after my patrol, and then I felt... a compulsion to go to the woods, though. I can't remember why, exactly, and it wasn't something I could deny.
When I got there, I was so tired, so leaden - I lay down.
And then, when I woke... I was in their world. Her world.
[He goes quiet for a few long moments. The Fae Queen has a power that seeps in and takes hold, and even this boy is not immune to it. Gathering his thoughts is more strenuous than it should be.]I had no idea how long I was there for, but I was kept as a knight. One day she let me come into Demeleier - I didn't know why, exactly, but I knew I had to come here. That was when I met Yosuke ( ... )

[Ever since he'd learned of Souji's disappearance, he'd been worried and on edge--but now that he was safe, Teddie could relax again.
His tone is understanding when he replies to Souji's apology.]
It's alright, Sensei, I know it wasn't your fault.

Teddie has a habit of lightening things up, though, Souji already knows. He's grateful for that - and the guilt that usually accompanies such thoughts is quieter this time around.]
You've been given the explanation of what's going on, haven't you?

Don't you go apologizing for that.

[He supposes she has a point. Even if he had understood the banshee, he wouldn't have been able to prevent it.]
...It would be rude of me not to try and make up for lost time, regardless.

Now none of that, you hear? World ain't for carting round on your back like that. Lay blame where it's due.

I appreciate their effort.
[She's obviously new - so he doesn't ask for confirmation, only pauses a moment before offering -]
Souji Seta. And you are?

Cara.

[A pause.]
The fae didn't harm me.
