[Waking up in a patch of grass in the middle of the woods is more of a relief than it might normally have been for Edward, or anyone else for that matter. The last memory he has of himself in his right mind is of the Malnosso, and their strange and terrifying ability to summon Lunar Rain seemingly out of nowhere. After that, he'd

[Aldo freezes as he sees someone who looks vaguely familiar in the plaza. Only vaguely, because last time he saw him, he had black things growing out of him all over and had been trying to kill him.

Well... staring now. Don't mind him, he's trying to figure out if you're going to try to kill people again and if he should run. He really, really wished his bow had shown up in the shops.]

[vermified]

[Edward doesn't notice at first, rather occupied by the fact that even in the plaza he looks (and feels) rather lost. Still, someone staring at him is kind of hard to miss, especially when that someone seems oddly familiar. Hasn't he seen someone like that befo-

....Oh god, he remembers now.]

E... excuse me-!

[loyal_arrows]

Ah... Y-yes? [Well... he didn't speak before, did he...? That's a good sign, right....? Oh dear he didn't want to die again.]

[vermified]

[Definitely a good thing. Edward hastily approaches (though hopefully not too close, not wanting to scare the poor man) and bows his head, obviously ashamed.]

I must apologize...! My behaviour before was unprovoked and wrong. Had I been in my right mind, I would never have attacked you...

I have no idea.

[WAIT A MINUTE]

Aya!?

[Sigmund has taken to watching the journals anxiously over the last few days - where was he? He should be back by now, shouldn't he? What's taking so long? - although now that he has what he was waiting for, he... can't seem to find his voice to answer. It's as if the thought alone makes his throat start to close up. After long moments of trying, he finally has to go and gulp down a glass of water before he can make himself speak.]

...Edward.

[voice]

[vermified]

[Speaking of hesitation. Edward lacks a convenient water source to try to properly drown his throat; all he can do is clear it and hope for the best. Though the status of his voice is the least of his problems at this point.

No, the more important foe to face now is a familiar one to him: awkwardness.]

...My lord...

[voice]

[chaincutter]

We will discuss this when you return.

[Sigmund doesn't actually want to discuss this. He wants to hide from it forever. Things aren't going to work out that way, though, and he knows it.]

[voice]

[vermified]

[Edward has much the same sentiment, so they might end up with different expectations of each other and talk it out anyway... what a mess.]

Y... yes, my lord.

[markofthewise]

Ed? Is that you? [Took you long enough!]

Sokka... [Oh boy.] ...Yes, it's me. [He doesn't remember attacking Sokka, but... what does he know about the situation? Somehow Sokka hearing about it is just as bad as the Liberation Force...]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Good, glad to have you back. It's been way too quiet without you around. [Casually not mention the whole dying thing? You betcha.]

[Voice]

[vermified]

[Oh thank god, it's like everything is normal.] It's... good to be back, though it's a strange thing to admit.

[vermified]

...I don't know. [Poor girl. He's not hurt, just hopelessly lost.]

[vermified]

So it seems... I can't figure out where I am.
