[Sup, Luceti? If you happen to be out and about today, you might notice a certain under-dressed Krityan lady slogging through the snow on her way back from the desert. She's hungry, tired, and a bit sunburned, but otherwise just peachy. She's in a bit of a hurry to get home to everyone, but that doesn't mean she won't stop for a chat.]

[D: This is a concern Repede, coming over to greet Judith and possibly help escort her back to the house.]

[sultrytempest]

[And this is Judith noticing him and crouching down when he reaches her, offering out her hand and a smile to accompany it.]

Looks like I made it back, hm?

[rabidrapido]

[he grunts, coming forward to her hand, tail wagging slightly. He is happy to see Judith was all right...alive at least. His head gestures in the direction of the house. She probably wants to get back to Yuri and their kid soon as possible right?]

[sultrytempest]

[That would indeed be the correct assumption. She gives him a gentle pat and straightens up, nodding to him and starting to head back. It's lovely to have Repede around to watch over Yuri again- someone has to do it while she's not there, after all.]

[Yuri here is hanging around just outside the house at the moment, likely looking around for either any sign of Judy or just taking a breather in general.]

[sultrytempest]

[Judith shouldn't be too long, what with Repede being such a good guide and all. Spotting him, she feels a bit of relief she hasn't had the luxury to indulge since they'd last spoken. It had been a long, cold trip, and she's surprised at how her separation from Yuri and Jonah has made her feel.]

[once_knighted]

[He's just been worrying while pretending he wasn't worried even though everyone could likely see right through him and tell that he was worried :|; Either way, once he catches sight of Judith being lead back via the Repede Express Service, he's definitely feeling relieved. And he's definitely heading over as well.]

There you are! I was starting to think you got lost on the way back or something.

[sultrytempest]

[Hello there, husband-in-all-but-legality. Judith meets him in the middle somewhere, making an effort to not look quite as hungry and tired as she was feeling. He's already worried, no sense in giving him more reason to feel concerned.]

I hadn't intended to take so long. It looks like I was a little further away than I thought.

[Charlotte is out and about in this here snow, actually. It's overcast, but at least it's not snowing today, so it's not really as cold as it has been on other days. So she's rolling up a snowman when she sees... a woman who appears to be woefully under-dressed for the weather.

And has tanned skin? That's odd...]

Um, excuse me.

[sultrytempest]

[I actually had to check the calendar before posting to make sure she wasn't coming home in a blizzard when nobody would be out If Charlotte happens to look twice she'll probably also notice the bigass ears and ear-antennae too. Krityans are weird-looking. |Db

Judith glances over at the unfamiliar voice, pausing in mid-step.]

Hm, yes?

[hazelrink]

[She does notice the ears, but as to the antennae... Charlotte is dumb and assume that is her hair. Or hair extensions. Those are cool, right? And this woman does sort of look like she would be hip like that...!! But no, really, the tanned skin is weird but more importantly-]

Are you cold?

[sultrytempest]

[Probably a better guess than most people, anyway. She shakes her head in response to the question. Nice girl for asking, though.]

No, I'm alright. The cold doesn't really bother me.

[Probably at some point before Repede finds her, Judith is likely to pass by House 42 on her way back to the village.

Raine is coincidentally outside for the moment, just on the porch, in any case. She hasn't been out of the house in nearly two weeks, so she's wanted a chance for fresh air, and is properly bundled in the hopes that the cold won't get to her too much. Which it has been, lately. Sigh Malnosso. Still, the sight of Judith returning from that direction - and in that condition, is enough to catch her attention for the moment.]

... Do you want to step in from the cold? You seem worn out. [She remembered vaguely talking to Yuri a few days ago about Judith not being at home, but he was vague as usual.]

[sultrytempest]

[Judith pauses in her walk, glancing over at the source of the voice. Well... she's kind of in a hurry, but a quick visit shouldn't be too much out of her way.]

I don't want to inconvenience anyone.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She shakes her head.] It wouldn't be an inconvenience. Please, come in.

[sultrytempest]

[...Oh, alright. Yuri can wait a bit longer; she is pretty tired from walking so much and could use a break. Judith caves and nods, stepping over to the porch and heading up.] I appreciate it.

[Aww, Estelle. Judith smiles in what is hopefully a reassuring manner; at this point she'll probably be with Jonah, since days of being away from her kid is a bit stressful, though she's not showing it outwardly.]

I'm fine, Estelle. Just a little tired, that's all.
