1st ❄ [accidental voice/action]

[magnanimity]

What?! Where is this? Jazz? Serenade? [ There is the rustling of fabric as someone finally gets to their feet. Fallen leaves crackle as they presumably look at their surroundings. If you're in the same vicinity you'll find a confused man wearing new feather clothing. ]

Serenade? Serenade?! [ This wasn't good, this wasn't good at all. The tone of

[refinedmaestro]

[He's taken by surprise by this very familiar voice.]

Prince Crescendo?

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

[ Crescendo is also surprised Frederic. The book just talked to him and it sounded...very familiar indeed. That's good at least; he is hesitant at first but then he replies. ]

Mr. Chopin?

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He sounds rather glad to hear his old friend.]

Yes Your Majesty, it is I.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

I'm certainly glad to hear a familiar voice. [ Yet his is still tinged with confusion. Because your voice is coming through this journal, but there are more important matters at hand. ] Are none of the others here? And more specifically where exactly is 'here'?

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He can hear the voice of confusion in Crescendo's voice, but decides it's better to explain things better in person.]

I will explain the details when we meet in person. All I can tell you for now is the others are not with me, they were sent home some time ago.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

I see that would certainly be appreciated. [ He sounds a bit more relaxed at that. Yet he sounds a bit dour. ] That means...Serenade is not here then. I believe I will need some proper attire as well. [ Because yeah he is undignified speaking to people like this! Also it's kinda cold not like he's not used to that or anything, but yeah a shirt would be nice. ]

Would you perhaps know a way out of this forest?

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He thinks for a moment and begins to question where Crescendo may be.] What are the landmarks that you see around you, Prince Crescendo? I might be able to locate you and bring you some clothing.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

Hm. [ He thinks for a moment as he examines his surroundings. ] There is nothing but trees unfortunately. I believe that might a building in the distance however. If I could make a signal to assist you I would. But I am without my weapons as well.

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

A signal? Hmmm, that may help. But I shall start walking and you may call out to me so I may locate you faster.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

Of course. A...fire, that might work better than calling out your name. Either way both options are best at the moment.

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

Yes, given the distance a fire might be better. I do not want to have your throat become sour because you had to call out. If you are able to build a fire, I will walk that way.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

[ You get a light laugh at that. ] Ms. Chopin your concern is appreciated. But a sour throat is nothing at this moment. However the creation of some fire will stave off the cold for now. [ And there will the snapping of twigs as he goes off to get some kindling. ]

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He will be walking towards where Crescendo is, or at least where he believes he is. Crescendo might hear his footsteps as he's speaking.] I am pacing myself towards your location, Your Majesty. I shall also be bringing a bag with some clothing in it, I hope these will be suitable enough for now.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

[ There is a fire in the woods, Frederic. Just follow the smoke wafting lazily up through the trees. ] That's fine, thank you. Your help is certainly appreciated, Mr. Chopin.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

[Upon seeing the smoke, Frederic paces towards the spot where Crescendo is and closes the book when reaching the prince even if he's behind him.] It is no trouble at all, Your Majesty. And you look rather cold in simply those pants, perhaps these would help? [He holds up the bag with the clothing in it.]

[ action ]

[magnanimity]

[ He turns when he hears that voice coming behind him, a warm smile touching his features. ] Thank you for coming out here, that'll certainly do. [ He'll take that bag and put on the shirt. At least it's better than nothing. And he'll go off behind a tree to finish getting dressed, returning shortly afterwards. ]

You'll have to show me around this place, it's seems rather odd, especially these wings. [ He'll turn his head once more to look at them as the move a little on his back. ]
