141. Evening

[corrinesbell]

[The first day Sayo didn’t show up for work, Sheena was only a little worried. She’d been having more memory problems lately, and chances were good she had forgotten again, or thought she was supposed to stay at the restaurant.

It was a little more worrying on the second day. She met no rampaging half-elves in the street, though, so it was probably nothing.

But now? It's been days, and now that they're free of the chaos of a draft and a weird holiday, she’s decided to figure out what the heck is going on here. Her filtered attempt at a message to Sayo breaks. That’s…about the end of it, then, isn’t it?

She’ll sneak into the house to check. It doesn’t feel right to just walk on in. When she makes the announcement she’s back in the tea shop.]

[There's a pause.]

So. Five years. ...Kinda not how I wanted this day to turn out. Sorry, Sayo.

[[ooc: And if you still want a note from Sayo, Ashlee directs you to still comment on the OOC drop notice! NOW WITH IMPROVED TIMING.]]

[She doesn't really know Sheena very well or knew this Sayo but... One of her friends had departed as well. So there is concern in Estelle's voice as she replies.]

Are you all right?

[all7seas]

Sayo?

[He'll get to the five years part in a minute.]



Oh. I'm.....Sorry, darling.

[rashness]

Sayo, really? [He hadn't seen her at work, but...] Uh... huh.

[.................Wait] Five years?

[Notes... She had left notes. Those hadn't been in the apartment; he knows, because he tore through what was left behind in desperation. But there has to be one for him. She would have--]

Give it to me.

... thank you, Sheena. I'm sorry I didn't say anything about it sooner. [Yes that's sort of a guilty confession, but once the draft happened any plans she had for announcing had gone up in smoke.]

Filtered.

Were you expecting a happier anniversary?
