Uh...I think I'm back...hard to tell though, I guess. Maybe this time someone will be there to read it? I wonder how long I've been gone...

[[ooc: Boy, is it good to be back~ I was nice to Sheena here and she's not almost dead for once :) ]]

Fine then. If it helps anything. You sitting in this house alone all day worrying sure isn't.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I haven't been sitting in the house alone. I've been out looking to see if Richter and Tenebrae have been returned yet.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[he looks mad and Sheena needs to sit. Down. Sorry, but she's commandeering a spot on your couch, Emil]

It was just an offer. I thought it might help get your mind off things. Sorry.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

N-no, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry...

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

I'm not angry.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

You're not?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Nope. ...Did I look angry?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

M-maybe a little?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Oh. I'm sorry, Emil.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

No, it was my fault. I shouldn't let this get to me so much.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You still haven't been able to explain why you think that.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

What do you mean?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Why shouldn't it bother you?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Because Richter would be angry if he found out I'd been moping around this whole time, that's why.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

But it wouldn't be like you to not worry.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I guess you're right.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Taking your mind off it for a little while might make it easier for you, Emil.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But what if they're returned while I'm not here?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You can still keep and ear and an eye out. People aren't usually returned right to their houses either.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

You're right, and I can still go on patrols to look for them.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yep. [this is what we wanted! Action, not sit-and-mope]

We could go right now if you wanted. But you'd have to eat first. I'm not patrolling with someone who's gonna pass out from hunger.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But I already ate this morning... I think. Maybe it was yesterday morning.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Are you hungry?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Not really.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[goes to get up, but the attempt is a bad one and she sits right back down again]

Okay, maybe not the best idea...
