Enter the Ghost Knight...

[knight_spectre]

[[Wandering the streets on a fog-choked summer night is what at first appears to be a cloaked, hooded version of Fakir. Not quite as tall as Lohengrin but still taller than most of his doubles, he makes no sound as he walks through Ginkan, not even that of footfalls upon the cobblestone street. His eyes are hidden beneath the shadow of his hood,

[[And of course with no sound, the Raven is the last to notice the cloaked figure, clutching a dark green bottle the town's winery. He passes Lohengrin without so much as a word, mistaking him for one of the town's established Fakir's.]]

[knight_spectre]

[[Lohengrin pauses, his eyes lingering on the redheaded man's back. Memories, the ones he thought he had lost, come rushing back all in horrible unison... the taste of blood not his own, the overwhelming compulsion to obey whatever order he was given, the feeling of cold steel sliding between his ribs...

He swallows reflexively, though he's fairly sure he can't vomit from the thought anymore.]]

Rabe...

[karasunotennou]

[[The Raven spins around awkwardly, squinting around in the darkness for a familiar face, for Siegfried, for Asma...? But there is only the lone cloaked figure, the one who makes the Raven's hair stand up on end.]]

Hello?

[knight_spectre]

[[He remains eerily still and silent, just staring from beneath his hood.]]

Hello, Rabe...

[fouettedekraehe]

[walking home, she notices the cloaked figure, not giving him a second look until she notices just how silent everything is, and stops for a moment, staring at him]

[knight_spectre]

[[He pauses, looking back at her.]]

Kraehe?

[fouettedekraehe]

...I'm not Kraehe anymore. I'm Rue.

[knight_spectre]

[[He remains stoic, staring at her. Has Tasmankrähe changed so much since he was here last?]]

You look just like Kraehe...

...Couldn't resist. XD;

*Ahiru was running through the town toward Rue's and her house, Devotion combining with Sorrow to making her feel almost sick with upset. She should've been home a while ago...oh, if only she hadn't fallen asleep under that tree after looking so long for Fakir...Rue would be worried...even Moon seemed to have gone home ahead of her...! As she runs down the cobblestone streets toward the house, though, she runs toward the swan fountain as if to go past it...and sees something that makes her stumble a bit in her run as she tries to stop. A hooded man...she couldn't see his face. Curiosity rubbing only slightly against Fear, it pursues the Devotion pounding in her chest telling her to go back to Rue right now, temporarily making Ahiru stay still in her place just a few feet away from the hooded man.*

[knight_spectre]

[[Lohengrin doesn't notice her at all, simply gliding past her as though she isn't even there.]]

[schwanherz]

*...He seems absent, somehow...did he have no heart too? Or was he sad? Curiosity touches upon Affection, gaining its support to touch upon Sorrow, and finally she decides, despite her desire to get back to Rue, to step a bit closer to the stranger, hugging her ducky pillow a bit tighter. As she does, she tilts her head, trying to see more of his face...but his eyes are in shadow...* ...Hello... *Her voice is a bit more hesitant than usual, mostly because she can't identify him. She'd met a woman recently who the vampire Ahiru had told her hurt the Fakir with torn clothes...so Fear was prompting her to be a bit more careful.*

[knight_spectre]

[[He pauses, moving his head just slightly to look at her. She looks very much like someone he used to know... if only he could remember...]]

Hello.

This could be interesting

[weissprinz]

[[Siegfried notices the ghost on his walk home from the library. The fact that he's mostly transparent is not lost on him. Drawing his cloak closer around his shoulders, he gives a little gasp and flattens against the wall of a house to watch.

[knight_spectre]

[[Lohengrin, surprisingly, doesn't even notice the double of his lost love. He walks past Siegfried soundlessly, without even a jerk of his head in passing.]]

[weissprinz]

[[Siegfried steps away from the wall and slowly steps after the ghost, curiosity momentarily lessening his unease.]] Excuse me?

[knight_spectre]

[[Lohengrin turns to face him, his eyes widening beneath his hood as he recognizes his prince. He is inexplicably, completely restored to himself when Lohengrin knew him, not a trace of the jewelry stuck through his skin or the marks from the Raven's treatment. Even his eyes, blank as they were the last time Lohengrin saw him, are lucid and shining with life. Lohengrin takes a hesitant step toward him, unable to believe it.]]

My Prince?

[knight_spectre]

[[Lohengrin turns to the boy, and his eyes widen as he recognizes his prince. The last time he saw the boy, he didn't remember Lohengrin's name...]]

Siegfried?

[knight_spectre]

...Myuto?
