[After a certain incident resulted in Ion leaving House One for a week, it was finally fime for him to make his way back home. He'd spent more than enough time feeling guilty about what had happened, and for leaving in the first place. He couldn't just keep avoiding things forever, could he?]

[Of course, it'll take him a little while to actually get there, and not just because it's a long walk. After leaving Luke and Asch's apartment around noon, he wanders around the village in the snow for awhile before eventually returning to the plaza, finding a nice, quiet corner of the library to read. But he might seem a little more spaced out than usual today. After all, while he may have decided he's ready to return home, he knows he's going to have to talk to Anise about last week... and he's not quite sure how he's going to go about doing that just yet. Perhaps he should find someone to ask for advice...]

[Either way, he'll finally make his way back to House One shortly after sunset, still feeling more than a little nervous but glad to be home all the same.]

[Noelle is out getting supplies for herself and Ginji, perhaps figuring out where some of the stores and buildings are. It's on the way through the plaza that she spots him and pauses, blinking. He really was here. He really was... alive.

She wasn't ever as close to Ion as Luke or the rest of the party - not enough to call him by his name rather than his title - but it still has an impact. Enough that she heads over in his direction.] It's good to see you, Fon Master.

[He probably seems rather lost in his thoughts when she approaches, even as he turns in her direction. His timing is a little slow today.]

Oh, Noelle. [His expression quickly becomes a smile.] It's good to see you as well. Have you been settling into the village all right?
