Who: Rue & Matthew
Where: Whenever,
When: Whenever,
Style: WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGE-- I mean, uh, first.
Status: Closed kalsjds (going to make an open post for her one day, I swear guys)

[Rue's isn't all that worried about the state of Vatheon as it is at the moment. She's used to fairytale settings (although this is considerably different from Gold Crown); and judging by her light browsing through the SFC network, people are already working to correct things, so she finds herself without any need to lift a finger.

She has far more pressing matters on her mind, as she walks through the city; and she's got her SFC in her hand, wondering where his name went.

Mytho...

Siegfried.

He hadnt been in his room either, and she thinks she should probably tell Ahiru.

She finds herself staring at her name too, however, and...simply doesn't hit the call button. Not yet.]

I'm sure.

[Oh, look. She is grinning, too...]

What kind of place did you leave behind, anyway...?

Elibe?

Ah...it wasn't that bad. Ostia especially; that was my home.

But I just mean that it's...really not bad at all here.

Of course, the lack of wars is a plus in my book.

["War"... coming from a fairytale world, she hardly knew of the word. Though there is plenty of fighting, thanks to the nature of the Raven—

The Raven, and her prince, who are destined to be eternal enemies, so long as they coexist. That...that much is enough.]

Perhaps you're right...although Vatheon is certainly known to be violent at times, too.

There must be times when are at least reminded, then...

[of Ostia.

Whether that's a good or bad thing, she doesn't really know...]

[A slow tilt of his head.]

Of Ostia?

[Huh.]

It doesn't bother me to speak of it. I've only been away for two years.

And someday I will go home to serve my lord again.

No doubt.

[He sounds determined, so it's easy to believe him. It doesn't bother her to speak of Gold Crown, either, she realizes...

So clearly she's become comfortable as well.]

But two years is a long time.

...It is.

Two years is a long time.

[A laugh and he shrugs.]

But that's my job anyway. I have spent longer than this away from Ostia for a job or two. You adapt or you go mad.

...True.

[She'd been ready to go mad at first, didn't she? If it weren't for people like Jane, like Hajime.

Like him. And her prince.]

With everyone else trapped here as well, I suppose we have help with that.

[Adapting, that is.]

With going crazy?

[He laughs, knowing that's not what she meant.]

Yes, you're right. The people here help with both.

You just have to be discerning about the company you keep.

I have been.

[Rue grins at the laugh; although she isn’t always the best judge of character. Honestly, however, she’s only come to learn this about herself…fairly recently.]

But I will take that as a warning, from someone who’s been here far longer than I.

Well, you're keeping company with me.

Clearly you're off to a good start.

[Snerk. |D so modest right.]

You think so?

[Haha, actually she does, too. Buuut there's no harm in being playful.

So modest, thief.]

What about your company, then? I don't believe I've met anyone else from Ostia.

[he chuckles.]

What do you think of my company, then?

[...?

Rue tilts her head at the questio; but still smirks, the chuckle contagious.]

I meant the company you keep. But if you must ask, I find it rather enjoyable.

[She seems to think about how that sounds after she says it, but in the end, she is nodding.]

[He laughs at that, shaking his head.]

Well then! That wasn't an answer I was expecting, to be honest.

Oh, no?

[That's rather curious. How she would hate to fall short of his expectations.]

Then what?

Oh, I've heard any number of complaints about me.

[He chuckles.]

It's good to see that there are people here who can enjoy my company.

[She shrugs at that, giving a smirk. Feeling almost special.]

Perhaps the others simply aren't used to you. Or don't want to be.

[S h r u g.]

Their loss, right?

[Heh.]

But it looks to me like you're feeling a bit better.

I do... [Maybe...okay yeah.]

A little distraction does wonders, I suppose.

Good then.

[And he stands up and...

walks out.

Oh.

Whoops. BYE RUE.]

[LMFAO BYE?

...Yeah she kind of saw that coming when he stood up, so she's not too hurt or anything. Actually, she's almost amused.]

Goodbye, then, Matthew! [She calls after him anyway, regardless of whether he hears her or not.

What an odd fellow.]
