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.]


[Written, Filtered to Martel: 80%]

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.]

[...Grune, he kind of avoided mentioning that bit for a reason.

And as for Dhaos' question...Giles looks rather politely surprised.]


I...s-sorry, but, d-did I mention that I was the one who, um, m-made that?
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[Grune has, of course, forgotten that she was the one to make Giles' life more difficult tell Dhaos who had made her necklace.]

Hmm.... Did you?

[When was this mentioned?]

O-Oh. Um. Was she? [...Giles uses his free hand to take off his glasses and realizes that he doesn't have a free hand to clean them. You know what? He'll try anyway.] W-Well, I'm, um, c-certainly glad to, to hear that. Really, it was, um, it was the least I could do, a-after...after everything.

[At Luceti Land!]

It was very kind of him. [She nods.]
consultmybooks: (Basically contrary)

After everything.

[Might have been the only part he wants to mention. Even if he liked and wasn't vaguely suspicious of Dhaos.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[Grune is just going to stand here and be happy that Giles and Dhaos are having such a nice conversation together. Hers is a happy world of bliss and ignorance.]

[Eventually, it will become clear that Giles is leading them to the lake. As far as Giles can feel defensiveness in regards to Grune, he feels it now. And therefore he is not taking Dhaos to the beach.]

Why do you keep water lilies all the way out here, Grune?

Oh, because they wouldn't be happy in the fountain.

[And neither would everyone else who enjoyed the fountain if they found plants growing in it.]

There's still the river.

[This might be showing off Giles' continued lack of skill in gardening, but. Even so.]
lostinmyway: (This is nice.)

[It's okay--Grune will help you, Giles.]

Oh, but then they'd drift away and get lost.

A very great shame.

[Giles finds it endearing, at least. It's certainly helped him in his constant struggle to provide for Willow the tree.]

Probably best that they're at the lake, then. I don't walk out this way enough, in any case.

[The last time he did would have been for a meeting with a certain red haired death goddess...]

[It's so good to see Dhaos looking a little happier. He doesn't seem as lonely now--although it entirely escapes Grune's notice that Dhaos is looking better because he's mostly talking to her.]
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[And then the slightly softer look she had been wearing to look up at Dhaos shifts into a puzzled expression as she asks Giles:] Really? Why not?
consultmybooks: (I can see that)

No reason in particular.

[One reason in particular.] I just, um, n-never find the time.

Then it's good we're going now. The lake is a nice place.

Most go there to get away.

There is a difference.

Is there?

[It sounds as though most people don't go to the lake with their friends. Isn't that the same as going alone?]
