[Luke had heard that Ion had a wing sliced off in the draft. Almost as soon as he heard, he headed out to House 1 to go visit him. Luke didn't know what having a wing cut off was like, but judging how sensitive his own wings were... He didn't even want to imagine. And someone like Ion having to suffer through that...

He hated these drafts. He hated them so much.

With a knock on the door, he's allowed inside by Nephry, who leads him to Ion's room. Once there, he knocks again, quietly.]

Ion?

[It was only a few minutes ago that Luke received the written message, yet it made him pull on his coat and shoes and head outside right away.

"Can you meet me outside of community housing 2?"

It wasn't really the message itself that worried him, but the way it was written. He could tell it came from Ion, yet the handwriting was messy and shaky. It was pretty clear that Ion was upset about something, and he came to Luke to help him with it. And Luke wasn't the type of person to leave a friend.

So, just moments after receiving the message, Luke opens the door to the entrance of his building and steps outside. It was still sunset, nearing evening... What happened, anyway?]

Ion?

[This first message is written in her clearest, most formal handwriting. She's done a few drafts outside of her journal already before penning this.]

Ion, are you okay? Please come back soon. We're all really worried.

((ooc: from here!))

[Hck - Luke makes a face, though there's a blush on his face.]

It's not that I don't like the water... But fine, let's go.

[This time LUKE will lead the way. Because he is the leader, dammit.]

(( ooc: continued from here! ))

I'd love to share, if you would like to. [She sees that fruit you are holding Ion, and though she won't say it out loud there's a small part of her that is really hoping you'd offer some of what you already have.]

[So Ion's been sick the past few days, but now that he's getting better and that dumb experiment was over, it's time to celebrate!]

[Knock knock knock right on your door.]

Ion, are you here?

[Learning to live in Luceti as her "future self" wasn't hard. It happened seamlessly. It was like she never left. Having all of her old belongings in their proper room helped.

Being with people she hadn't seen in years - some of whom she would never see again - that, she wasn't sure of on the helpfulness scale. Certain things continued to startle her.

Running into Ion sitting in the living room was one of them. At least after so much time, all that comes out is a soft inhale.]

[It's been a few minutes since dinner started and Ion still isn't down yet, so Anise begins to wonder exactly where he went off to. He had been looking even peakier than usual, which made Anise more concerned than she usually would be. He couldn't have collapsed, could he?]

[Muttering a quick excuse, she drops her utensils onto the table and quickly strides to the stairs, making her way to his bedroom.]

Ion, when you have a chance, there's another idea I'd like to bring up with you. Would you prefer that I come over to see you in person?

[It wouldn't be the first, in these past few months since Ion first informed her about his condition, but none of the possibilities thus far had proven to be very plausible. There were too many variables and factors to repeatedly take into consideration.]

[ Kohan would be lying if he tried to deny how nervous he feels, but at least the lack of the usual Malnosso intervention has made the thought of Christmas a lot less daunting this year. And he needs all the courage he can get.

He's waiting at the fork in the road that leads down to House 1, hovering, more than a little hesitant and unsure. But he'd invited Ion out for a walk already, so there was no turning back now. After a few more seconds of standing there and mustering up his courage, he heads down the path towards the house.

Hopefully Ion was already ready to go. ]

[So Jade has stuck a "Hug me" sign to Ion's back. He hasn't noticed it yet. Anyone want to swoop in and let him know? Or maybe just follow the sign's instructions? He takes a full walk around the village at least once a day, so he can be found just about anywhere.]

[Whether found in Ion's room or given to him by another, an envelope with Ion's name written on it will find its way into his possession. The writing is neat and elegant and easily legible. The letter will read a follows:]

Ion-kun,

You were such a darling boy during my time spent in Luceti and I enjoyed every second I was with you. You're very cute, and I only wish I could have spent more time with you - I had so many more ideas for clothes you could have worn or tried on! Speaking of, I really am glad you enjoyed by gift to you, and I'm sorry I can't spend another birthday with you any longer. May the rest of your years find you well and happy, and be sure to celebrate them! Birthdays are meant to be celebrated with delicious treats and many gifts, never settle for less!

I'm going to miss you, you were so nice to spend my time with - I felt happy and at peace when I was near you, which I haven't felt in quite some time, actually. Thank you for being so good to me during my stay, and do try to think of me from time to time. Take care of yourself, and try to stay out of trouble.

Oh, and please give my regards to your special someone. I'm so sorry we could never meet face to face. Maybe we'll get another chance one day, though. Don't let me forget if ever I return.

♥ Perona ♥

[ It's not with much fanfare that Kohan returns from his kidnapping. No dramatic appearances in a bathtub, no falling out of a tree, no naked scandalizing of unsuspecting passersby...

Unless Ion could be considered an unsuspecting passerby. But considering Kohan's been deposited on Ion's bed, there's not much passing by to be had. And it's not really the naked that's the problem. Kohan looks fairly bruised and scratched, with injuries that seem anywhere from fresh that day to a few weeks old. He also has a few feathers missing from his wings.

At the very least, he seems to be sleeping peacefully. ]

[Arietta certainly isn't happy with the prospect of returning home, and she's already voiced as much outloud when the announcement was first made. The idea that staying could be something bad doesn't even begin to cross her mind- Ion is here, and that's all she cares about.

She'd been prepared to die for the sake of avenging his death back when she challenged Anise to a duel, in what seems like ages ago now, but now that she's gotten her so-called second chance, and has gotten to see Ion again, she doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Which is... why there is something she absolutely must tell Ion before anything else happens.]

Fon Master, we need to talk.
