[Voice]I'm sorry to be a bother, but... has anyone seen Madam Musette? She's an older lady who likes to wear pink... she helps out at the flower shop, and -- she didn't come home, last night... and she hasn't come home yet today

That's fine, Shirley. I will keep an eye out for Madam Musette as well and let you know if I see her.

[Voice]

[prayingone]

Thank you, Professor Nebilim. Is there any work you'd like me to make up for it?

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

Simply going over what we covered in class yesterday should be fine.

[Voice]

[prayingone]

All right... I'll do that.

[prayingone]

I don't know... she could be visiting someone, and she forgot to bring her journal...

[prayingone]

I haven't checked her room yet, since it's only been a day... do you think I should?

[skyborne_mage]

The madam's gone?

[prayingone]

I... I could have just missed her...

[skyborne_mage]

Where does she usually go?

[prayingone]

Well... she works at the flower shop. When she's not working there, or in her garden, she's often out visiting.

Ms. Musette...

I'll go look for her right away.

[prayingone]

Thank you, Emil...

[ratatosk_knight]

She came to find me once when I was lost out in the woods... now it's my turn to help her.

[prayingone]

Still... it's very kind of you. I'll let you know if I find out anything else, okay?

[filial_guardian]

[He's totally thinking, At this rate, who will disappear next?]

If she's gone back... It may be for the best. Luceti's nature is so unpredictable.

[prayingone]

[And we'll say that everything below this point is post-checking out her room.]

I... I suppose so. [... not that it helps, anyway. Walter is free to catch her swiping at the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.]

[filial_guardian]

[His frown deepens when he notices that. He ventures carefully with his next words.]

Are you all right, Merines?

[prayingone]

I-I'm sorry. I'll... I'll be fine. Don't worry, okay?
