[Action] 008

[fallenambitions]

[After a week of absence, the Malnosso have decided not to drop him where they found him, but somewhere in the northern part of town, unarmed and far from his room. Wonderful. He looked physically all right from a distance, maybe a little malnourished, but he was able to wander through the village without help. Except he kept stopping and looking around, as if he was unable to recall where exactly he was.]

[Mayoi is walking around the village herself, exploring the area or possibly misreading directions back to her home. She notices Alexei and looks at him confused. He obviously doesn't look very good.]

[She comes up to him suddenly and looks up to his face from the bottom of his tall figure, without saying a word, examining him quietly with her eyes]

[...yeah, hi Alexei. Nami's going to ...stop in her tracks when she sees you. Not actually sure what to say, but why does he look so confused? Approaching carefully, now.]

Alexei?

...[He stops when she came into view...which actually took him a while to realize she was even there. He looked tired and worn, and probably didn't want to be bothered by someone he didn't know, but he'll speak to her regardless, as if nothing was wrong.] Is there something you want, child?

[she continues to stare up at him, almost in a daze of sorts.]

.........

[but finally she speaks up, snapping from a trance of sorts]

Are you lost?

[aerojahack.livejournal.com]

Are we ill?

[ He remembers you. Looks like it wasn't just III that the Malnosso decided to take during the 'Ber months. ]

[fallenambitions]

[A little disorientated is more like it. Now he recognize that voice and looks to Nami. A familiar face. He looked exhausted from doing...whatever he had been doing during the week long absence. The most he could tell Nami at the moment was-] ...They came.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

...Perhaps. I don't believe I've ever been through this part of town, because nothing looks familiar. In what direction are the shops?

[fallenambitions]

[Irk, spot on with that, but he's just hiding that fact rather well and addresses Xaldin] Only slightly disorientated and tired. Nothing that a night's rest can't cure.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

...I know. I heard.

You need a hand?

[Mayoi thinks for a moment and then turns around, looking down the road she came from]

I walked here by going down this road. So I think you can go back by going down here.

[fallenambitions]

Heh, just tell me where exactly the shops are located. I can find my way back to my room from there. [No, he doesn't feel like mentioning he might be catching something. Just tired that's all, tired.]

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

I see. I should be able to find my around, knowing that now. What is your name, so that I may thank you properly.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

I can do better than that. Come with me.

[chronica.livejournal.com]

Hachikuji. Mayoi Hachikuji. Who are you?

[fallenambitions]

...It's been a while, or I just may not have been on this side of town. [he simply nods and does so]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Nami's going to take you to where the shops are, all right. She's quiet on the way, but when she gets there:]

Okay. When was the last time you ate?

[fallenambitions]

Commandant Alexei Denoia of the Imperial Knights...though the title probably means nothing here, simply habit. Thank you kindly for telling me that information, Miss Mayoi. Apologies for keeping this conversation short, but after being taken by the Malnosso...I simply want to rest right now.

[fallenambitions]

...[Good question. He wasn't even sure what day it was or how long he had been away] It's apparent I haven't been well fed, isn't it?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

All right. I'm gonna get some stuff here. Then I'm taking you home and making you a sandwich. [At least.]

Okay then Mr...

[she bites her tongue] Alexeiei Denoiai.

...ah I stuttered. Excuse me...

[when she hears about the Malnosso she becomes more serious]

So...you were one of those people who were kidnapped?

[fallenambitions]

...[he gives her a gentle smile.] Thank you, but food will do just fine. I don't want to trouble you any further then I already have.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Hey, you troubled me enough by vanishing for the last couple weeks. You know how worried I was? The least you could do is let me make sure you're okay.

[fallenambitions]

[There's a mildly surprised look on his face. Worried? When was the last time anyone told him they were worried about him? How is he suppose to respond to that....H-He also just doesn't want a whole lot of people to know where he lives.] ...My apologies for causing you to worry then. Is that how long I was gone?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Don't apologise. And yeah. Two weeks and two days, to be exact. It was ...a while, considering.

[Picking up a loaf of bread. You have no choice in the matter, Alexei. But if it makes you feel better she won't tell anyone where you live. |D]
