[a door opens up and Alma runs through, then pauses and looks around.]

Master? I don't think this is what we're supposed to find... didn't you say this leads to an alley?

[he turns back and blinks when he discovers the door leads to an empty room.]

Master?

... Master?!

((ooc: advanced Alma get. important info is here.))

[We'll say by this time he's finally back to normal. Looking up from the book he had been reading.] Alma? Something wrong?

[He's still not a bit right, he can't feel the others like he used to. Though is bond with Tyki is still strong. Lavi isn't sure this is his Alma.]

[twinsecond]

Lavi? ... is that you?

[Alma walks over to him, wide-eyed.]

Then- am I back here? I can feel Yuu...!

[arebornstar]

[It is his Alma! Damn it, tackling you in a hug.]

Of course you can, you idiot. Where did you go? Yu's been beside himself.

[twinsecond]

[hugged! and hugging back, really tight.]

I went home-! I didn't want to, but I didn't have a choice- and that old man, Zhu, found me. I was... I was messed up, Lavi.

[arebornstar]

[Hugging him as tight as he dares, grunting from the strength of Alma's own hug. Lavi grins a little when he can finally pull back to get a look at him.]

I'm glad someone good found you. [Ruffling his hair with one hand, the smile dropping.] Everything's alright now, isn't it?

[twinsecond]

Yeah, it was a good thing... I couldn't feel the bond anymore and I went a little crazy.

[he smiles and nods.]

I think it is. I mean... I feel better, I guess?

[arebornstar]

But Kanda's still at home, isn't he? [Confused redhead. He had thought life went on with everyone there regardless of them still being in the dressing room.]

Good. [Relieved look, giving Alma another tight hug.]

[twinsecond]

If he was... they wouldn't let me see him. [shaking his head slightly.] Master said it was too dangerous.

[arebornstar]

I understand that. [Sighs a little and leans his head against Alma's.] I'm just glad you're back.

[twinsecond]

So am I.

[he hugs Lavi gently. the gnawing jealousy he'd felt the first time he'd found out about Lavi and Kanda is gone- all that's left is perhaps a bit of melancholy, but not much else. he'd been a child then, for all intents and purposes, and now that he's older it's easier to look at things differently.]

Back then, I- I'm sorry for getting upset about you and Yuu. Even though I said I wasn't, I was jealous.

[arebornstar]

[Blinks, having completely forgotten about it really. He had told the truth when he said he wouldn't do things with Kanda anymore that might make Alma upset or jealous. Lavi cups both of Alma's cheeks in his hand, looking at him.]

It's alright, Alma. Water under the bridge. I think...it would have been worse if we kept it from you longer. I'm just glad you didn't give up on our friendship.

[twinsecond]

Ah, no, of course not! I missed you while I was at home- all of you. I kept asking Master about you, but he wouldn't tell me.

[he sighs dejectedly. he'd been rather homesick for them, but he'd had to put them out of his mind in order to learn to use his Innocence and to keep getting stronger.]

[arebornstar]

It's ah...probably best that Zhu didn't tell you, Alma. I know my situation at home isn't good right now.

[twinsecond]

Master Tiedoll wouldn't either.

[concerned, and looking at Lavi intently.]

What happened?

[arebornstar]

[Lavi opens his mouth like he's going to say something then shuts it, tugging Alma into a room where they can sit.]

[twinsecond]

[tugged! following along, and sits on a couch next to Lavi.]
