( feast )

[he didn't expect to wake up at all, let alone in some imp castle. he was supposed to be dead. he checks for a bullet hole in his coat, just to be sure that he was definitely shot. he'd have to fix that later. he didn't like the crowd, didn't even touch the food until he watched a few others dig into it and end up being fine. it looked good, and it wasn't junk, so he grabbed a napkin full before ducking out of the feast and into the halls.

he maybe, maybe lingers by the door to check if any other SEES members are around, but from the looks of it, he guesses not. he doesn't have time to stick around some party, anyway. he needs to find a way out and fast; he doesn't belong here.]

( station )

[bye felicia. he's out. he'd rather stick around the station than some castle. he doesn't want to be associated with a war and a queen and king he doesn't owe jack to; he's better off without them. if there's any place he has a better chance of gathering information from, it's here. he liked the familiarity of it, too- technology, vending machines, things that were more homely than not.

he helps himself to the food, has a nice meal before settling down on one of the couches. he naps, for a little bit, his beanie tugged partially over his eyes. later, he grabs a cup of tea and fiddles around on the locket, trying to gather as much information as possible.]

station!

[orcsurfing]

[ At the Station Legolas dresses in the clothing provided there, rather than the leathers. But even such efforts do not exactly help him blend in much, so out of place a long, tunic-like hoodie, the modern leggings and the heavy boots look on him. Or so out of place he looks at the Station. Fair face, pointy ears and long (long, thank you Fili) hair, all of it braided and resting over a shoulder.

But even so, unfamiliar and strange as it may be, the Station is quite entertaining to visit every so often. A lot of new folk from both court come here to settle and it's good for making connections.

Currently leaning over a prone form of a child of the Men sprawled over a couch, concerned frown in place. ]

Are you well?

[ There are rooms available for all, why would anyone choose to rest out here if they were well? #elflogictomakeshithappen ]

aww yee

[heavyaxe]

[what even is this guy-

shinjiro sits himself up straight (or what he calls straight, he's slouching quite a bit) and pushes his hat back up off his face.]

Fine. [he had been hoping no one would bother him, but it looks like that's never going to be the case. a part of him regrets ever allowing himself to fall asleep.] What do you want?

eheheheh ♥

[orcsurfing]

[ And as the stranger sits up, Legolas straightens his back. Invading another's personal space like this is not quite his thing, mind, and he quite enjoys his own, though all his motions are elegant, all of them natural and not drawing attention to anything at all. He arches his brows, smiling softly now and confirming for himself the truth to that answer. ]

Ah, my apologies, but I was made to wonder why choose to sleep out here when you may claim a room! Beneath the ground these rooms may be, but they are plenty comfortable and cosy.

[heavyaxe]

[now that he's gotten a better look at this guy, he's fairly sure that he isn't human. not that he's really bothered by that, he's seen stranger things. personas took a lot of strange forms, his especially.]

...Sheesh. It's just a nap. Didn't know I had to grab a room for one.

[orcsurfing]

[ For someone who's dealt a lot with the dwarves in his life, gruffness and touchy attitudes are nothing new, nothing at all bothersome. ]

You would be safer there, is all I meant to say. This may be neutral grounds for the shardbearers and native folk alike, but the beasts, they do not respect treaties or borders.

[ He shrugs slightly, still smiling. ]

Many there are out there, and many of them dangerous.

[heavyaxe]

So?

[he doesn't seem too phased by legolas' concern, either. he can protect himself just fine, if it comes down to it.]

Not your problem.

Station

[butterflyfool]

[Haruka still has no idea how to really process things at the moment. She remembers falling asleep and feeling so, so tired. Then she finds herself in a castle, wide-awake and energized and completely confused.

So, yeah, she bounces from the castle to the Station just to see if she can get her thoughts in order. Haruka isn't paying any attention at all to where she's going, until she sees a very familiar face. Her eyes widen and she feels like she's choking. She probably sounds like she's being strangled, too, when she finally finds some of her voice.]

Sh-shinjiro-senpai?

[heavyaxe]

[shinjiro knows that voice; he nearly drops his locket in surprise when she addresses him. he isn't entirely sure how to react, or what to say. he's in shock. carefully, he stands from the couch to face her, wondering just how to break whatever silence he's already created. he doesn't even want to think this is real -- he was dead. should be dead. but he's spoken to junpei, and now she's here.

reality can be a real pain in the ass.

he takes a few steps toward haruka, hands tucked into the pockets of his peacoat. there's an overwhelming amount of emotions welling up inside him that he isn't comfortable with. he can't even manage the words he wants to say to her. when he speaks, his voice is soft, nearly sad.]

...You.

[butterflyfool]

[She opens her mouth, closes it, and swallows as her mouth goes suddenly dry. What on earth can she say to him? A million possibilities go through Haruka's head, but they all sound stupid or inadequate. She tries for a small smile, but it doesn't feel right on her face.]

...Me. It's...been a long time.

[Forever, it feels like, since the last time she saw his face in person. Haruka clears her throat, hoping that'll help get some more words out.]

I've missed you.

[heavyaxe]

Has it?

[feels like minutes, to him. he doesn't know what else she's been through after he died. maybe knowing that SEES continued to take down shadows was enough. he didn't know if ken ended up being okay. watching someone die is a hard thing to do.

he closes most of the distance between then, reaching up to give her a comforting pat on her head. her hair is soft, just as he remembered.]

You haven't changed a bit.

[butterflyfool]

[The smile starts to feel more genuine at the familiarity of the pat on her head. Some of her old cheer starts coming back to her.]

Nope. Only thing that's changed is that the Dark Hour doesn't exist anymore.

[Haruka can't help feeling pride and affection for her friends at SEES who made that possible. If it hadn't been for them fighting alongside her on the front lines, she doesn't think she would've had the courage needed to take that final step. Though, she neglects to mention that the other change is that she'll no longer be there to really celebrate that victory.]

[heavyaxe]

[wait. his eyes widen momentarily, brow quirking.]

What?

[he tucks his hand back into his pocket, taking a step back. he's ... shocked. but proud, and relieved.]

You did it? What happened?
