Sometimes the coffee is the worst part about waking up

[Have a Lyon, moping around downstairs. The crushing terror that somewhere out there the Prince is dead has vanished, but she doesn't know that Ken or Miakis is back yet. That is, until she smells breakfast cooking and dashes into the kitchen.]

K-Ken...?

[Ken smiled and turned around] Hey Lyon! [He's more then willing to put on an extra happy face for her.]

Ya hungry? Breakfast is almost ready.

[float_like_a]

[Looking understandably confused, Lyon furrows her brow and rubs at her eyes.]

Am I still asleep...?

[weiss_tank]

No you're not. [Ken reaches out to gently bop her on the head with a wooden spoon.]

We're back. Sorry for worrying you and leaving you alone for so long.

[Just.... standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Being very relieved.]

You came back....

[He's really just saying it to reassure himself that he isn't dreaming. He and Lyon have been alone in this house for days.]

Are you okay?

Re: B

[weiss_tank]

Omi! [Ken turned and looked at him. He was happy to see his friend, and a little sad at leaving him alone.]

Yes...I'm back. Omi, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry...

Re: B

[sablebombay]

[He lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. So he's not dreaming. Which means that Ken is fine.

.................

Which means that he has a LOT of explaining to do.]

What happened? What went wrong?

[Ken wrinkled his nose in annoyance] I went to go talk to my target, it wasn't someone I could bring myself to kill...

Anyways, that's not the point. I got jumped on my way home by some girl that gets off on violence more then Berzerker does.

[Ken's professional pride is a little wounded for having lost to Juri. AGAIN.]

[glowing_science]

I'm alive again and in one piece, for what it's worth. And I earned a free milkshake for getting murdered.

I hate this town.

How are you holding up? We haven't talked in awhile...

[weiss_tank]

Ema! [There is considerable happiness in his voice when she speaks] I'm doing pretty good. I didn't last too long either...

How've ya been? Has Mastermind been good?

[glowing_science]

Do you know who it was that killed you? Because I have no idea who killed me--stabbed from behind.

I'm... doing as well as can be expected in this place? He's not attacking me or anything, so things are okay at home.

I've been meaning to talk to you about him, actually. [She's been understanding him more and more lately and she's not sure what to make of that.]

[weiss_tank]

Ouch, in the back? [Ken winced] Yeah I know who killed me, she's crazier then Schuldig, that's for sure.

Talk to me? Damn it, what has he said to you now then. What ever it is he's wrong.

[striped_biceps]

Yeah. We're fine. No one in my house got hurt.

What about you? I tried callin', but never got an answer.

[weiss_tank]

[Ken sighed] Lucky bastard. I got jumped, and Miakis she...anyways. The kids were left alone and I doubt they had enough time to answer the phone.

I'm glad you're ok though.

[striped_biceps]

...Miakis what? Dammit, both of you?

[weiss_tank]

Things went out of control.
