∞ 61: Expected and unexpected [written/voice]

[written // 10% hackable]

His death was expected. I can't help but wonder if the environment quickened or slowed his death in any way; certainly the extraction method was different, but the deterioration afterward...

He will return. He was doubtful of it, but I'm sure he will return. How they stabilize his body without the Rune is another matter.

[voice]

Rune... Hn.

...I like how I find out my owl had owlets three weeks after the fact.

[After a small brief glance, Raine turns her head, lowering her voice.] I can.

[She turns her gaze back towards the hole, taking a better look. She favors the mother with a small, congratulating and appreciative smile, before turning her attention back to Albert.]

Whenever you are ready, Professor. [He'll continue to hold her up there for now.]

[After another few moments of looking, she carefully moves to step back down.]

Thank you.

[Albert brushes his hands together as he stands, glancing into the nest before looking back to Raine.] Mm. You're welcome--

[...And then there's a tiny owl on his head again.]

He seems comfortable up there.

[There's a grunt as Albert fights with Rune again, and he moves his hands away as Rune flaps his wings belligerently.]

He's convinced it's his territory.

His... territory. Where would he get an idea like that?

Past situations. He found his way into my room back when one of the previous residents was tearing through the forest, killing animals. After everything settled down, he never really left, unlike the majority of the animals.

And he... claimed your hair as his nest. Perhaps he feels safe there.

Or my head was the highest place in the room at at the time. [He sighs, then shakes his head. Rune flaps his wings to keep his balance, much to Albert's chagrin. He doesn't mind as much as he might visibly show, but he doesn't want the bird to get complacent.]

That too.

It's kind of ... sweet, actually. [She gives a soft chuckle as her gaze moves up to study the owl for a moment, though her expression slowly takes on that slightly distracted look once more.]

[He takes note of Raine's expression changing, tugging the owl off of his head and making him sit on his shoulder.]

Are you ready to head back now?

Hm? ... Yes, that seems fine.

You have another animal at the house, don't you?

Astrid, my horse, yes. You would have seen her in the stable if she has not wandered off.

[She goes quiet, mentally connecting the pieces of information as she gives a slight rub at her temples] ... Ah. Yes.

We ... usually ride, don't we? Instead of walking, like this.

[He nods slightly, taking a few steps in the direction of their house.] Once in awhile, yes.

I see... [For a moment Raine seems faintly pleased with herself, having nearly pieced a connection together on her own, and takes a few steps closer to the house as well, that distracted expression lingering.]

[Back to a silent walk again. Albert isn't going to disrupt Raine from her thoughts.]

[After a while she gives up on trying to sort this thought out, and shakes her head again. Oh look, there's the house.] Hmm. That one seems complicated, and too jumbled, besides. [She sighs a little, and glances back towards Albert] There... has to be a better way to do this. Sometimes these images come and go so quickly.

You have to be patient. That's all the advice I can give as far as memory loss is concerned.

What else should I do in the meantime...?

Speak to others. Look around the village. Talk to your friends from your world; they can fill in some of the gaps from before Luceti. Talk more with Genis; he's known you the longest of everyone here.

I'm worried about him. He's trying, but... I don't think he's handling this as well as he says he is.

The sooner you recover, the sooner you can properly comfort him over this. But I will speak with him. And I'm sure he has his friends to rely on, too.

... All right. I'm sure he would appreciate that. Thank you.

[Her gaze briefly flicks toward the tiny owl again, before returning to Albert. There's something bothering her about it, but it's not something she can put a name to] Shall we go inside, then?
