It's been a whole week, but Raine won't let me out of the house. I've run out of things to do and I think I may be dying from boredom. D'you guys think I can sneak out? I'm well enough to try some spellcasting or something by now, right? Anything to get me out of here!

Genis? Genis! That's -- dangerous, get down from there!

[They're likely out of earshot by the second, and it's not likely she'd get around to the front of the house fast enough, so...]

_{[Within earshot or not, he'd just tell Arche to go faster faster because this is actually pretty fun~]}

[And so the two fly across the skies of Luceti, laughing and having a grand old time, while Raine has several heart attacks. Arche has no real destination in mind, so she'll just keep darting around above the houses, the shops, the trees...]

_{[and they lived happily ever after And Genis just hangs on, thankful for the change in scenery, fresh air and great company.]}

Hey, Arche? When do you think can we start on training? I know we were supposed that last time, but...

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[Awww, she really appreciates that last thought, Genis.]

Well, depending on how banged up you still are, we could swing by the lake for a little practice now. I saw you when the Malnosso dropped you off though... [Her smile falters a bit.] You... really looked half-dead, Genis.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

I'm fine now, really... And I'm so out of practice, it's not even funny-


You did...? <sub>I was...?

[He doesn't remember much from that day, really, apart from Raine and Albert bringing him home. He's not even sure how bad it was when he was found, so this is a first.]</sub>

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you look okay now, but...

[The story, the memories, just come spilling out of her mouth.] I think I was the first to find you. You were lying on the side of the path in to town from the lake. You were all bruised up, and had some nasty cuts on your face, but the worst was one of your arms... limbs shouldn't bend that way. It's amazing you're feeling as good as you are now.

I went to try and find you a healer, and I guess Raine and Albert found you while I was gone. I ran into Sheena on the way and led her back to you... but by the time we got there, they'd already taken you. Good thing we have the journals to get in touch with people... I might've started to freak otherwise.

_{[He goes quiet, for a bit. He wasn't aware it was that bad; he doesn't even remember.]}

Yeah, well, Raine's really really good at healing spells; maybe that's why-...

_{[What's this? Guilt is creeping up on him for leaving Raine hanging like that. Oh great, now he feels terrible.]}

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah... That's why she was so worried about you. I know you didn't like being cooped up, and... I wanted to see you and be sure you were okay, so that's why I came by, but... [She lowers her head. Guilt can be shared!]

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Right, right... _{[He sighs]}

Thanks for coming to see me, Arche. But I guess- I should probably go back, shouldn't I...? _{She's gonna kill me isn't she.}

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

... I'll go with you.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Ah? Oh, well, okay then. If you're sure..?

_{She's scary when she's mad; just saying.}

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

It's my fault you left the house. I have to take some of the blame.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Well, I still shouldn't have left, or made that voice post at all..

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Hey, c'mon. Nobody can blame you for wanting to get out for a while.

Re: [Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess...

_{[Well, the guilt is kinda gnawing at him for now, so he's just going to stay quiet]}

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[Despite what Chester says, she does know when to keep quiet. Floating back towards the Sage/Silverberg residence, she begins a slow descent to the ground, making the return trip in moody silence.]

_{[He carefully steps off when they touchdown, and kind of steps aside so she can dismount.]}

Hey, Arche...? I'm sorry I got you into this.

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Hey now, you didn't get me into anything. [She hops off the broom.] I offered. So don't worry about that.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Okay then.

_{[He's kinda standing by the front door awkwardly now. Should he knock, or just...?]}

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[She just kinda stands back and waits for either Genis or someone inside to open the door.]

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

_{[Well, idleness never suited him, so he makes up his mind to open the door himself after a light knock. He peeks inside-]}

... Raine? _{Uh, I'm home.}

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[As Genis opens the door, Raine steps back from where she was opening it, her hand falling to her side. She doesn't say anything, though, simply waiting with that disapproving sisterly look.]

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

_{[Fff. He stands there and can't quite meet her disapproving!look.]}

Ah- Hi...?

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[Arche places a hand on Genis's shoulder, then steps up to Raine, head down.] This was my fault. I'm the one who convinced him to go out flying with me. Don't be too upset with him, please.
