[Distant mumbling can be heard from the journal.] Nnn, it's chilly this morning... eh? What am I doing outside?

[There's a short pause. Then, a gasp.]

I... I'm back. I'm alive, I...!

[The voice grows louder as whoever is speaking approaches the journal. The voice sounds a little anxious.] Hello? Is someone there? I'm not sure where I've been dropped off. This could be any part of the forest... oh! There's the river!

[There's a soft rustling noise, followed by the pitter-patter of hurried footsteps.] House 1... shouldn't be too far from here... ah, I can see the village now! [The voice cuts off with a soft click as the journal is closed.]

[For those walking around the village, you may notice a certain green-haired new feather quickly making his way through the village with a big smile on his face, as though he knows exactly where he needs to be. He didn't know how long he'd been gone, but just in case, he had to check his old home. Feel free to stop him for a chat! And for those of you in House 1, expect a sudden house guest~]

It would be no trouble. I've been inside the house for...quite some time. [For the sake of your health and well-being, Ion, do not ask him why.] I could use the fresh air, and there was something I wanted to look for at the library.

[Dist chuckles and holds up his hand. Really, he's just glad there's another rational human being in this house.] Think nothing of it, though...I would indeed appreciate if you did wash it, thank you. Ah, out of curiosity, however...you're not feeling any different than you were before? You seem to remember your stay here as well, if I assume correctly.

[Ion was about to explain that he'd like to go get his clothes himself since he'd also like to pick out some other clothes he'd like to wear, but Dist's question interrupts his train of thought.]

I don't feel any different, no. And I still remember everything from when I was last here. Though... it does feel like I've been gone for a long time... [He's going to trail off there for a moment. Being dead for over two months isn't the sort of thing you want to think about, really.]

[Dist blinks and peers curiously at Ion once he goes oddly quiet, then realization strikes like a well-placed Indignation, though a lot less painful.]

Ah...my apologies. Nothing seems irregular with your health, then? Last I recall from your brief time here before, you were at the peak of your physical health. I do so hope that persists once again.

[Agh, now Dist really did have to apply himself twice as hard on his fomicry research. Not just for Asch, but for the Fon Master as well. It shouldn't be too hard, just daunting, if the library didn't have any useful books to jog his memory.]

[Shaking his head, Ion lets those thoughts slip away. He was here and he was alive; there was no need to think about that anymore.] It's all right.

And I really do feel fine, Dist. [He smiles sweetly.] But thank you for being concerned for me.

[Dist sighs, and pushes up his glasses. It was still a little strange, and perhaps damaging to his ego, to think about how easily these people seemed to cheat death, and he spent his entire life trying, and failed.]

Good. At the very least those scientists thought of your hea--[vhjckdcjk--! WHY DO YOU DO THIS.] Th-That';s not it at all!! I'm not--! I just don't want to have to go through the trouble of taking care of you as well! I already have much to research! Anise alone is a thorn in my side, I don't need another nuisance bothering me!!

[Backpedal all you like, Dist, but all he hears is tsun-tsuuun, dere-dereee.]

Of course, of course. If something does happen and I do get sick, Anise has always taken great care of me, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

[Even if Ion knows that deep down he will because he cares and it really seems like nothing Dist says will convince him otherwise. And he still has that smile on, by the way, just for you, Dist~]

[We liked you better as an obedient, green, moeblob trap. B| And Dist is just huffing and trying to meet Ion's eye or that smile. Ugh, why do these people have to get under his skin so badly? Like he needs another brat to babysit without Anise being the way she is.]

I wouldn't put all my trust into a rambunctious little girl like her, but all right. Her duty is to see to it you are well cared for, after all. Did you need anything else, Fon Master?

[Because you can get it yourself! >8\]
