[the recording turns on mid-sentence, hi luceti] ...Is this book for me? How kind, though I’d rather have a proper explanation as to what has occurred. [a sigh] Once again it seems I have lost track of my surroundings. Even after I promised to be on my best behavior.

[rustling as she straightens out her cotton dress]

If I recall, Hakuren taught me the geography of the empire a few weeks ago. [considering noise] Perhaps I am in the sixth district? I have always wanted to visit. If that is the case, then I will have to call on the House of Hausen for help, unless...unless the one who has brought me here appears. [dilemmmaaa] He will have to appear sometime if he wishes to keep me as a hostage. Though I may not be as valuable as he might think.

[they should have kidnapped general oak or something. a long pause and then, quietly]

I wonder if anyone here will know about the hawkzile race. I do wish to know how Teito fared...

[EDIT OOC: off to class!! will be back in two hours ;A;]

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

I'm in a town. [luceti? gdi she isn't as good at geography as she thought she was] Near a grocery store...? There's also a fountain nearby.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay! I know where that is! [ he should. he's lived here for nearly two years. ] Just stay right there, Princess!

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

[HAKUREN - oh]

[OH. She's fine, if not you know shivering in her new feather dress, but she manages a smile.] Hello! You must be Shuri.

Re: action!!

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Yes! Yes, I am. [ he smiles brilliantly! ] ... Oh! You must be cold.

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid my coat was taken from me when I arrived here. [wow, oak genes really run in the family... though her eyes linger less on his features and more at the -- wings] Oh...!

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Oh. [ ... ] It should be in the item shop! Everything ends up there.

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

[shakes out of her surprise to smile gratefully] If it's not too much trouble, could you point me in the direction...? [or take her there ;;]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

I'll take you! [ he extends an arm. like a gentleman. ]

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

[wow how gentlemanly. takes it! dear god she doesn't really know what's going on does she...] Thank you, Shuri. Are you the only one here from your family?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Y... yes, I am. Hakuren was here until a few months ago.

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

...Until a few months ago? What happened?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

He went home. That happens sometimes.

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

...I see. I'm glad to know that he's safe then.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Hmph. [ He sounds significantly less thrilled about it. But here we are. ]

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

[attention conveniently diverted by the shop] I'm afraid I don't have any money on hand.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

It's all free!

[keepsthelight.livejournal.com]

That's rather generous of them.
