004 - [Action/Written]

[When had Dhaos returned to Luceti...? On the first of August, as he recalled. With the kidnapping effect in place, the confusion in its subsequent removal, the return of Luceti Land, and the draft, Dhaos has had little time to reflect on anything that has happened since then. But now that everything has quieted down again, he can think...

If you are content to wait and let time take its course, then the world will have returned to nothingness long before you recall your purpose.

Those words were not meant for Dhaos, but the truth in them rang clear in his ears. Time might not move while he stays in Luceti, but he is no closer to saving Derris-Kharlan than he was when he arrived-- or when he left. And he's been in Luceti for half a year now.  Regardless of how helpless he might seem, sitting here and doing nothing would get him nowhere.  There was a planet waiting for him.

He doesn't trust the humans and half elves. Arche is an enemy. Kratos is a mystery. Yuan, while apparently trustworthy as far as Dhaos has seen, already knows more than him-- and is too intelligent for Dhaos to risk widening the knowledge gap between them by telling him what he knows. That leaves one person-- the one person from Aselia Dhaos knew for absolute certain would never intentionally compromise him.]

Forgive me, but there is

[The filter breaks.

...

Dhaos closes the journal and hurls it into the opposite wall. Sorry, Luceti, no announcements from him.  Feel free to question the filter failure-- or not.

Anywho, regardless of his mood when she arrives, [livejournal.com profile] lostinmyway has decided it's about time she fulfilled that promise to introduce Dhaos to all her friends. If you are on Grune's CR chart, if you have ever spoken to Grune even once, or even if you've never met either of them in your life, Grune wants you to meet Dhaos. Come make the poor Demon King's life as awkward as possible!  He's also available at night, as always.]

[Action] Proooooobably not the best thing to bond over, but...!

Oh, we thought we could help you, because you look a little sad. Would you like to come for a walk with us?

[Introductions, Grune.]

[Action] They do!

[Yes, he ought to be. Though of course Leonhardt is totally making a guess at Grune being Dhaos' girlfriend since she can get away with dragging him.

And he wishes Grune the best of luck cheering him up.]


Ha ha... Well, I can guess then that the lady here is Grune. I should likely give my own then in a fair exchange. I am Leonhardt, and you would be, sir?

[And despite the laugh, no, he's not cheerful. Awkward at best like Dhaos and covering it with politeness to allow him to seem calm and collected as always.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[Action] Don't make Grune sad, you guys!

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-09-19 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very pleased to meet you, Leonhardt! [Now they're both making new friends today!]
eyesofstrength: (Default)

[Action] It is an improvement.

[Don't worry, Dhaos. Grune is tame compared to some people Leonhardt has met.

But anyway, he may as well try to prod for some information while dealing with Grune's likely to fail attempt at cheering him up. That troubled look in his eyes that makes him always look depressed is rather stuck there.]
A pleasure indeed. Are the two of you from the same world then?
lostinmyway: (It's always a sunny day.)

[Action] ...Something of one, anyway!

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-09-19 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. I'm from the Legacy. Where are you from?
eyesofstrength: (Default)

[Action] It sure is!

[personal profile] eyesofstrength 2011-09-20 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Two different worlds and so close? That just seems like a set up for misery since one is likely to abandon the other someday with random disappearances.] Most interesting. I am more recently from the Royal City of Grancel. Are both of you not afraid then that the other will return home at some point?
lostinmyway: (It's always a sunny day.)

[Action] If you guys say so....

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-09-20 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sure that won't happen.

[Even if one of her friends went home just four days ago, and she'll be discovering another has left later today.]
