[There's a bit of time as she collects her bearings; the pages flip and there's the crunch of twigs before a voice records.] Hello, Luceti.

Would someone be so kind as to bring me footwear? I fear I cannot walk long without. I am somewhat pampered.

[It was another listless day for Kratos. He'd take care of the house if Presea didn't do it already, make food if Presea didn't do it already, train, work on some little things, and make more food if Presea didn't do it already.

It's evening, and Kratos is folding a shirt of his when the open journal catches that voice. Immediately, he stills, then looks back at the journal resting on the counter behind him. It couldn't be. She left months ago.

But what if it was? He hesitates... but decides to take the chance.]

... Footwear?

[It's a safe question. No need for a name, no need for possibly shaming himself if it was the wrong person, and if Presea asked why he said that... Well. Maybe he needed some for himself.]

[Voice]

[halgitamilf]

[And that...is just the voice she wanted to hear. She'd forgotten it, once she returned home...but now, it seems as if she'd heard it only yesterday.]

Hello, Kratos.

[Voice]

[salvationfound]

[And that confirms it. He takes in a sharp breath at the sound of her voice saying his name. It really is her... But a part of him still denies it. It would've been better if she continued to rule her kingdom and stayed away from this place. And they wouldn't give him such a luxury.]

Where are you? [He has to find her.]

[Voice]

[halgitamilf]

Hmm...just a moment.

[The journal is set down and there's the hesitant crunch of feet on twigs. Then the scrape of feet against bark.

Yes. She is actually attempting to climb a tree.]

[1week_wizard]

... You sound familiar...

I suppose I can understand the bit about the footwear.

[halgitamilf]

[So do you. She remembers you.] Yes...it is rather unkind to provide us with none if we are to be placed in such adverse conditions.

[1week_wizard]

Indeed. One would hope they'd at least do the courtesy to a repeating visitor.

[halgitamilf]

Lady Patchouli.

[harmonicmelodia]

Footwear? I could bring you some, Miss.

[ voice ]

[halgitamilf]

Ah, I do appreciate the gesture, sir. It seems I have found someone willing to assist me, but I do thank you for your kindness.

[ voice ]

[harmonicmelodia]

It is my honor to help a woman who is in need of assistance, Miss. However, I'm glad to know someone came to help you.

[ voice ]

[halgitamilf]

Perhaps you could provide me with conversation until he arrives?

I am Svala. Whom do I have the pleasure of addressing?

[voice]

[tatzenkreuz]

Hello!

You mean you're outside barefooted? Is someone already bringing you anything?

[voice]

[halgitamilf]

Yes, I seem to have a guardian angel of some sort. [Badum-chshhh.] I do thank you for your concern, however.

[voice]

[tatzenkreuz]

A guardian angel, huh? That's great! It's no problem, really. Is there anything I can do for you?

[voice]

[halgitamilf]

Hmmm...perhaps.

Do you know if there are any individuals in Luceti by the names of Sigmund, Edward, Eugene, Capell or Michelle?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

... Madam Svala?

[Voice]

[halgitamilf]

Lady Raine. A pleasure to speak with you once again.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

It's good to speak to you as well, though I'm sorry it's here again. Not... that it was likely to be anywhere else, I suppose.

... Has someone gone to help you, already?

[Voice]

[halgitamilf]

Yes. Kratos is coming for me. [Do you hear that tone, Raine? That is a tone of a happy, happy woman.]
