26 - Sand Thief

[radiantwingedone]

Who: Duke and The Vesperia Household (Yuri, Ioder, Dhaos)
Where: at the Vesperia House
When: Late evening?
Status: Closed
[ style ]

[ After that pair of moderately awkward voice-mails, Duke has packed a few things up - mostly clothing for the next day, a notebook or two, and almost hesitatingly a book on magic he recently received. That last probably wasn't smart of him, but... It was interesting, even if mildly painful. If he couldn't sleep...

If anyone was anticipating him arriving by searching with magic, he isn't giving his location away that way. He is trying to hide, after all, and if that means he has to be more careful while walking... well, its not going to be a speed reduction or anything.

But he'll be there before it gets too dark, looking a little worn, but not nearly as worn out as he'd been after the fear-curse. ]

[ Yuri's among the first to open up, actually having been waiting outside for the long-haired man to show up. When he finally does, there's an obvious frown in his expression as he studied him. ]

... you look like crap. What happened?

[radiantwingedone]

[ Jee, thanks Yuri. ]

... As said, was less of ... happen...

[ He's not sure anymore what it was. ]

... Combination of happen and hindsight...

[hopeofzaphias]

... that's gotta be the worst. Here, let's get you inside...

[ Especially if the person in question is prowling around out and looking for Duke... ]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He's pretty sure she won't be looking for him for a while, but yes. This sounds like a good idea.

... And if he kinda just stops once he's inside, well. That's because he doesn't know where he's going, and he realized that Yuri had been among those who had, perhaps, realized things before Duke had.

Or he had just been ... 'teasing'? ]

[hopeofzaphias]

[ There's a quiet sigh from Yuri as he stops, looking back at Duke with a frown. Well. This was... going to be slightly awkward, but. Might as well ask, right?

Otherwise he won't know who to help him avoid. Somewhat. ]

... so who is it?

[radiantwingedone]

[ This is a moment where Duke wished he wasn't trying to live with Lowell and Ioder, as he didn't know where he could or could not go and thus couldn't do his normal thing of pretend he couldn't hear or answer as he made himself unavailable.

His reluctance to actually name the person he's trying to avoid is probably clear, but its mostly because he's not sure of the sort of reaction he's going to get. ]
