Excuse me. For those familiar with Emperor Peony, he is no longer in the village. All of his things are also gone, so I can only assume he went back home.

[oh, Nephry. The professionalism says a lot.]

Are you holding up?

[written, filtered]

[silversnowfall]

Of course.

[written, filtered]

[emp3thy]

Do you mean that?

[written, filtered]

[silversnowfall]

I wouldn't have said it otherwise.

[written, filtered]

[emp3thy]

[you might.

time for something different.]

Are you busy right now?

[written, filtered]

[silversnowfall]

Not particularly.

I made too much rice. [or he will in a minute.] Maybe we could meet up for lunch?

[written, filtered]

[silversnowfall]

I would like that.

[Gelda will resort to writing as well, for virtually the same reason as Nephry.]

Then, we should be happy for him. The throne is his rightful place.

[As if she could've missed Dist's previous entry. Anise sees this written one not too long after, and her heart just. Breaks for you, Nephry.]

[Normally, Anise would opt for a voiced reply. But seeing as Nephry wrote this out, she might as well keep it that way.]

At least he's finally back with his real rappigs at home?

[Written]

[silversnowfall]

Yes. It's what he wanted, I believe.

[written]

[silversnowfall]

I'm positive he's much better off there.

[written]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

He'll be back to his country, too! But ruling a country's hard work. I hope he remembers not to slack off.

[Written]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

That's what's most important.

Will you be all right, Professor?

[written]

[silversnowfall]

He has my brother to keep him in line.

[Written]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure I'll be able to cope. I knew this moment would come. [Though it doesn't make things any easier.]

Will you be all right as well, Nephry?

[written]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[there's a bit of a pause, before Anise starts writing again. Because it's not fair to think that both of them are back home, now.]

I wish we could go back, too.

[for all she's a politician, it's very hard to lie outright to Gelda. So her handwriting goes stiffer.]

Of course.

[voiced]

[silversnowfall]

[The only way the right sentiment will come across is if she says this one]

So do I.

If you'd like, we can get together for dinner some time. [A pause.] In fact, I'm sure I can convince Regal to prepare some dinner for us. Saphir can join us as well.

[She's sure the three of them could really use a comforting dinner party at this point.]

[Written]

[silversnowfall]

I'm not sure I can convince Saphir to agree right this moment, but I accept your invitation.

[Written]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'll ask Regal which day would be most appropriate. I'm sure Saphir would love to join us once he's calmed down a bit.

[She's just hoping the dinner would be soon, because she'll need something to keep her mind off things.]

[Written]

[silversnowfall]

He wouldn't pass up a chance to spend time in your company, Professor.

[/agree]

[Written]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose he wouldn't. [She stops writing for a moment, looking for a topic change.] Will you be keeping Peony's pets? I can imagine they must be a handful.
