[Action/Voice]

[Presently, Cecil is pacing a steady circle along the perimeter of the barrier, as he has been doing for the past several days. He's packed provisions to last upwards of a week. In short, two of his loved ones have been taken, and in the same short span he's witnessed the wanton attack on a new friend who'd been trying to make amends with old enemies. With a mounting distaste for his fellow inmates, he's chosen the company of the outdoors. ~~Kain, he will see that hypothermia of yours and raise you some frostbite.~~

When he speaks, it is in the beleaguered and restless tone generally reserved for the restless and insomniac.]

Kind sirs and madams, if I may, I wish to trouble you with but a momentary request. If a Rosa or Rydia are returned from their kidnapping directly into the village, would someone kindly note it via the journals if they aren't capable of doing so themselves? They are missed.

Certainly. Might I get a description for the two?

I thank you, kind Sir.

Rydia is probably most notable for her green hair and wings. She is as tall as an immature Chocobo, though a good three heads shorter than a fully-grown one. [Because that kind of measurement is universal to all worlds, isn't it? :D]

Rosa is the most brilliant of beauties. Her skin is the softest alabaster, her wings are of the purest white. Her hair is honey-spun gold, and her eyes are the deepest pools of blue you've ever seen. [Guess which one's his wife.]

I will certainly look out for them, as well.

It is most appreciated.

[Yeah, ttly helpful there, Cecil. :|b Okita is going tall as a what and less than a what?]

...You're really poetic even when you're tired, hm?

[It makes sense in his head!]

I'm merely being truthful. She's the most wonderful woman to have walked on any world.

[~~Yes, I'm still on slowatus. But I had to.~~ Terra similarly feels a need to be out of town--not to the extent that Cecil is, but the Kefka incident has soured her a bit on being social. After doing all she can for Celes and Edgar for the time being, she leaves them in Locke's care and heads out. There's actually a purpose to this; she doing what she promised earlier by teleporting to various barrier points to inspect them and note any changes. At some point, she teleports...almost right next to Cecil.]

Then I will keep an eye out for them both.

[Too bad it only makes sense in his head. The only 'choco' word Okita knows is 'chocolate' and he doesn't think Rydia is made of that.]

...are you alright?

You have my thanks.

[If she was, she might well have been devoured by one of her suitors quite some time ago.]

I'll be fine once they've been released.

[That...would have been an awkward social call.]

Alright. Please be careful - the cold is getting rather bad.

[He's minding his own business when Terra appears beside him, instinctively unsheathing his sword and taking a defensive step back. He eases slightly when he gets a better look at her, but not by much. Not after the murderous way she'd flown after Kefka.]

...Lady Terra.

[Kain is currently a wreck of a man who's wandering about more like a zombie in the wilderness. It's a small place so their PATHS CROSS AT SOME POINT.]

[And yet a delicious one.]

It is nothing that can't be endured. But thank you for your concern.

[Cecil understands, man. He doesn't bother with a greeting, nor does he muster false cheer as he falls into step at Kain's side.] They've both been gone far too long.

[Terra instinctively reaches for the hilt of her own sword upon seeing Cecil unsheathe his, but she doesn't do likewise. She eases up on that, but takes a step back, watching him. The tension -and weariness- isn't hard to miss.]

...Cecil. What are you doing here?

[Just nods, looks down, seemingly indifferent to his presence either way. He's got this wonderful excuse not to talk and it makes withdrawing from the universe easier.]

[Like Willy Wonka the Black Widower.]

Just remember that if you collapse before they get back, they'll likely be rather cross with you.

One might ask the same of you. [The sword doesn't go away.]

[Try all you want, Kain. Cecil's going to have a conversation with you whether you want one or not.] Kefka didn't deserve what happened to him that day.

[That's about the right level of scary, yeah.]

I've no intention of collapsing.

[...now I'm envisioning her suitors wearing pimp coats with candy canes and fangs]

That's good then. May I have your name, so they know who was searching for them?

[Siiiiiighs, but there is more agreeable nodding. Actually, not being able to do anything in the fallout of that was also not good for his mental state, because inaction makes him a angstbucket. He wouldn't know how to begin avenging him though. Plus, the side of him that isn't drawn to powerful evil leaders doesn't want to do against Terra. SO MUCH CONFUSION.]

[That...hurts. She knew she might lose some friends or friendly acquaintances over the matter of Kefka, but still....]

I was checking various points of the barrier, to see whether they changed and how.

Don't think I've met Rosa, if I hear about Rydia I'll let you know.

Ah, I've never introduced the two of you? It is a shame. You'll have to meet her once she returns. [A frustrated noise as his sword scratches uselessly against the barrier; he's desperate enough to go back to that old method.]
