Week 13.
WEEK 13 The trip to Celestic Town is an unconventional one, though it's infinitely faster than walking and doesn't leave everyone feeling woozy in the same way that teleportation does. The town itself is a small one, though it's scenic, and there's a sort of beauty to it that's very rustic in nature; it's surrounded on both sides by mountainous routes that you're welcome to go on to both the west and the east, though it wouldn't be recommended that you venture too far out, seeing as they can be on the dangerous side for those who are unfamiliar with them. It seems Cynthia was right about one thing - there was certainly an incident at Lake Verity that went off almost as soon as you left, another of those deep pulses echoing through the surrounding area; it seems that whatever Mesprit did can be felt by the region as a whole, given that Celestic Town and the surrounding areas seem to have been affected as well despite being so far east of the lake. Cynthia herself can be found throughout the town for the duration, should anyone want to speak to her. Sometimes when left to her own devices, she can be seen in the company of a little girl who looks very similar to herself; sometimes she's with a pair of people much older. Either way, the family resemblance is strong. Lucas is here as well; he's still willing to speak to anyone that wants to, though he seems a bit subdued. Either way, it's been a long, harrowing trip so far; hopefully spending some time here will help to rejuvenate you.

And well, after everything that happened with Mespirt... he needed to talk about it somehow, even if he didn't want to admit it, and... mrgrgr.
okay. woof. may as well... say it.]
...if only we could ask for intercession back home.

The world's gods typically aren't so easily swayed by such things, I wager. The ones here seem to be far more proactive in such manners.

For better or for worse, I suppose. [Camilla tilts her head a bit.] Have you come to offer a prayer?
no subject
[.................]
I will admit, I am a little concerned about how things are going back home. I don't really know... maybe since we're dealing with deities of time and space, we shouldn't really worry about it, but I do have to wonder if people will notice we're gone, or if we'll have been gone as long as we've actually been here.
no subject
Perhaps they are, and we don't even know it. That's my hope, anyway, that those that aren't under his control are supportive.
[Kayneth's second bit gets Camilla's expression to go a little bit forlorn for a moment--he has a point, after all, though she doesn't really want to go into her own circumstances. So...]
I certainly hope that's not the case. I take it you have someone who is going to miss you something terrible, then?
no subject
you know....... he wishes....]
I... well. I don't really know what's going to be waiting for me when I go home. I'm not going to pretend my family were nobodies, but I definitely helped the Archibald house gain the recognition it deserved... and I can't help but worry things are going to be a mess when I get home.
...I do have a fiancee, but, well. It was an arranged marriage, and her family's dealing with a bit of a succession crisis, so I really have no idea if they'll just... make other arrangements.
no subject
Camilla listens to Kayneth when he says that, and her lips purse in the process. That's...it makes sense, to say the least, while she listens to him.]
...I understand that, Kayneth.
[It's. Gentler than her usual tone. Filled with a definite understanding of how dire the situation may be.]
It's natural to worry about such things. It certainly sounds like you are someone who is needed in his home; someone who makes your family proud, as you've dedicated yourself to it considerably. I'm certain that they're worried sick for you...and while it may be messy, they'll be relieved to see you unharmed.

What is she like? Your fiancee.
[She's not sure if it was an unhappily arranged marriage, but color her curious anyway.]
no subject
[...]
She can be a bit... difficult, I suppose, but in the way I generally respect rather than a way I'd dislike. It's like the difference between dealing with a proud empress and someone who believes herself above her station. I can rarely completely get a read on her, so...
Well. Honestly, I liked to think things would work, but I'm imagining she'll be far more pleased with a rearrangement than I would.
no subject
...You love her quite a bit, then. But you don't believe that she returns those feelings of yours...
