∞ 82: Waiting for the next step [action]

[Now that things have calmed down around the village and the rain from earlier in the week has dried, Albert is getting around to cleaning up his poor garden. Long-wilted white and blue moonflowers and morning glories litter his garden where trellises are propped up next to them, so he's pruning and plucking them out from between the growing flowers.

His horse is hanging around the house today, eating from a bale of hay.

It's a pretty idle scene on a sunny day. At least he's not closed up in his room, reading old books and drinking wine. That can be saved for tomorrow, when the weather's even warmer.]

[Frey was walking by and noticed a head of red hair, pausing by the yard. That's.... Albert, right?

He remembered him from their conversation over the journals. Might as well say hello properly, then.]

Hello.

[Albert pauses in the middle of clipping a leaf, turning his head towards the voice before allowing his hands to fall to his sides. He recognizes the prince's face ... though he had somewhat expected him to be slightly taller.]

Greetings, Prince Freyjadour.

[Well, he is only 16. Give him a few years, and maybe he'll grow a bit more.] Pleasure to meet you in person Mr. Silverberg.

[He's going to walk over and look at the garden curiously.] You garden?

[He watches the young prince with reserved interest; he had of course read and heard many things of the Falenan royal family and their queendom, but to see the prince himself was a rare chance.]

I do. A hobby during idle times like this.

[Frey can kind of tell that Albert is watching him, but he ignores it. He's vaguely used to it back home, so...] It must be relaxing. Though it seems the weather lately hasn't been the best for them.

[Well, you could call it that. He imagined the few heat waves recently hadn't helped matters, either.]

The weather can be incredibly fickle here, during all seasons, so there are a few plants indoors. But there are some flowers that need this strong sunlight. [He carefully touches an opened morning glory surrounded by shut moonflowers.]

But I'm sure you know many things about the sun. [Being from Falena, 'blessed' by the Sun Rune.]

Yes, I've noticed the weather here is a bit chaotic. Rain one day, hot the next. You are right, though it must be hard on the others.

[A pause, at his last comment.] I guess you could say that. [This one has yet to see the nicer half of the Sun Rune. He's kind of begun to doubt the 'blessed' bit.]

[He makes a faint, amused sound.] I had heard that Falena enjoys some of the most consistent weather in the region; I can see why the different weather here would come across as chaotic.

You've heard right. The climate and weather back home is fairly consistent, with a few differences depending on the regions, of course. [Sable was hotter and drier, for instance. Then you had the mountains, which were an oddity all their own but one no one took for granted, thanks to the Feitas.]

The weather here is certainly different, to say the least.

And you arrived only recently, correct? Were you able to see snow before the seasons changed over?

Yes, I arrived a little more then a month ago. Sadly, I never got the chance to see snow. I did get rained on the day I arrived, though.

I would hope rain is a little more common in Falena. [A brief smile.] How are the winters in your country?

It is. The Feitas isn't our only source of water.

As for winter, It's fairly mild. If we do get snow, it would be on the Ashtwal Mountains to the north or around them.

Interesting. So the majority of the country will only have somewhat colder weather?

Pretty much, yes.

Then I will be interested to hear what you think of Luceti winters, if you are here by then.

It sounds like it would be interesting to see. [Though he stil wanted to go home.]

So where are you from? If you don't mind my asking.

You are familiar with the Scarlet Moon Empire, correct? The Silverbergs hail from there. [A brief pause.] But you are aware of the time differences by now.

I see. I figured as much. [He nods.] Yes. I've met a fair few people from the future. Your brother among them. I figured you might be as well.

If you're wondering, I'm from during the war. By your calander, It would be Solar year 450.

And I, and my brother, are from the year 475. I am not yet born, from your timeline perspective.

All of us are taken from points of war, either during or shortly after. An odd phenomenon, but one we cannot really explain here.

[That... was odd. He had figured he was from the same time as Caesar, but the idea that the older man was not even born in his time was strange.] This place is so strange.

Really? That is odd.

Be concerned when you find everything that goes on here "normal." [It's a wry joke. Of sorts.]

On a broader scale, I have a theory that people are brought here at times of great importance in their life. It isn't perfect though, as we have children here who would almost certainly experience more important events as they grow older. [He shakes his head.] But I will not bore you with half-structured ideas.

[He laughs a little, at that.] True, this place is anything but normal.

[He pauses a bit at Albert's theory.] That makes sense, though. It doesn't sound too far fetched to me, in any case. As for the children... Well, that just doesn't sit right in more ways then one.

[He nods slightly as Frey agrees with his theory.] I take it you have seen the children that have been brought into this world as well. [Of course, in some of these other war-less worlds, the likes of Freyjadour and Hugo would be considered children.]

Yes. The idea that they have been brought here... is disturbing, to say the least.

[He did not approve of it. At all.]
