30th Teddy Bear [Action/Written]

[Action // Thursday, September 22nd]

[It's been eight days since her father left, and despite her searching, she hasn't found him. But this was Luceti. He was here even though he couldn't be back home, so obviously he'd just reappear here again, like mama did! With this knowledge firmly in place, and when school would begin--after a few days of staying home, courtesy of a worried mother--she would carefully sneak around after class was over to survey the forest nearby the building. Not enter it. But listen and squint into the dimness of it.

He might be there. They don't know. Just because all of his stuff went away... maybe the robots took it all, too!

Sleeping in mother's room is a must, for now. For both of them. It makes it a little easier, having someone to hug in the mornings or bitter earlier hours.

She answers the door with a determined sort of look on her face, but it falls instantly when she sees who it is. It's not your faults, really. She's still happy to see you, and the small, shy smile a few moments later says as much. It's just... not what she was hoping for. And then, sitting outside became a habit. Well, it was always important on her list of things to do—to sit on the porch and draw or play. Playing can wait. Just for a few more days. Papa might show up. Gotta stay vigilant. No time for journals, or anything like that, right?

... M-maybe just a little journaling. But nothing new. No... she can go back to old entries and look at them again. Any tears? Well... She cried a little, when it first happened. But crying now would be bad. Shikamaru said it, he told her before when she ripped her doll:

Crying didn't fix anything.

So. She would try not to cry. Even if it was... growing harder not to.]

[...oh, god. This is a terrible message. And Nami can't find it in her heart to be callous and say it's better that he went home. ...which is just as well, really. She doesn't know Hughes is a dead man.]

Elicia?

[That message....

Well. Rydia can't ignore that, though she doesn't respond over the journals. Instead, she heads on over to Elicia's home a little while later. There might be a box of her favorite cookies to share, too.]

[His usual stalking around the Amestris home is a little more depressing than usual, given how the tone has been since Maes vanished. On this particular evening, when Elicia is sitting on the porch, Ling will end up sitting beside her out of nowhere.]

It's quite a sunset, isn't it?
avaricious: (Cool and collected)

[It's not like he carefully and silently came up beside her or anything, jeez.]

I had some thing to take care of back in Central. But I'm back now.

[Rydia manages a small smile as she approaches, pausing before her.]

Hey, Elicia. Mind if I sit with you?

[This is very, very troubling. On the heels of Derek's disappearance...and now Elicia?]

Elicia....you're....bugger. Elicia?

[Well...that's just heartbreaking as hell, isn't it. He sees two obvious responses: the first is the one he's more accustomed to. Ignore it. It wasn't his business or his problem, and he had enough on his mind as it was. But there was this very obnoxious part of him that made the second response very present in his mind.

Guess which option wins out?

He makes his way towards her house, hoping to find the kiddo there. And do what, exactly? Well, that's a good question.]

You have friends to keep close to, I hope?

[Vash had been worried about his tiny friend since he heard the announcement. His worry isn't set aside at all as he walks by her house and sees her sitting so still. A kid like that should be playing or drawing, but he raises his hand with a smile.] Hey there, Elicia.

Lots of stuff.

[And he lost a lot in that time too.]

Darling? [Oh, God....she thinks she did something wrong...] Sweetheart, who's with you?

:( It really is!

Actually, I was thinking about going to the bakery a little later. Right now I thought I'd stop by and see how my favorite flower lover is doing.

[personal profile] mistlegacy 2011-09-23 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that.

[She does so, leaning over a little to peer at Elicia's handiwork.]

What do you have there?
