[Action]

[It's sunset before Emil makes it back to town... while he was lucky enough not to land in the lake after going through the portal, he ended up in the mountains instead, and it's taken him almost two days to get back. He's exhausted, wet, freezing cold, and most importantly, he's not back in his world. The portal also separated him from Sial, so he's worried about what happened to his chimera companion as well.

He looks about as dejected as he feels right now; every so often he'll stumble over something and fall to his knees before picking himself up and continuing to trudge on.]

[she will now name everyone in Luceti from Aselia who she doesn't know the status of, waiting for him to nod]

[knightofratatosk]

[And he... doesn't nod at any of them.]

[corrinesbell]

I'm outta people. ...Gimme some other kind of clue, then. Like, uh...were they tall?

[knightofratatosk]

[Another headshake, and he holds his hand out to indicate Sial's height.]

[corrinesbell]

...[her first thought is 'Corrine?' but no, Corrine left a long time ago...]

Oh! Your...pet thing?

[knightofratatosk]

[Bingo! She gets a nod to indicate that she got it right.]

[corrinesbell]

...Where is it?

[knightofratatosk]

[... and now he droops. He has no idea, that's the problem.]

[corrinesbell]

Well, you've been busy trying to get back here, right? Maybe it has too. Might even be home already.

[knightofratatosk]

[But if I landed in the mountains, what if he got dropped in the lake or the desert? Emil doesn't look very convinced.]

[corrinesbell]

There are people scattered all over the place now. Someone might've found it and just can't let you know.

[knightofratatosk]

[But he could also be in trouble, and...]

[corrinesbell]

Sitting here's not gonna help him. Can you get up?

[knightofratatosk]

[Can he? He's not sure. Just getting down from the mountains took a lot out of him considering the shape he's currently in.]

[corrinesbell]

[she gets up again, once more offering him a hand]

If you start to feel like you can't we'll just stop again.

[knightofratatosk]

[Okay, he can probably handle that as long as they can stop to rest, so he'll take the hand and pull himself to his feet.]

[corrinesbell]

[going to let him walk on his own unless he really seems unstable]

I'll keep an eye out for him, okay?

[knightofratatosk]

[Nod. He'll be looking too, of course, but he can't really call for the chimera the way he is now.]

[corrinesbell]

[she will also be noting in her own journal that she found Emil, in case anyone is looking or worried]

[knightofratatosk]

[Who is there to be looking for him now? All his housemates are gone. :(]

[corrinesbell]

[there are other people who care about him]

I know you wanna look for him...but I dunno if your body can take it right now.

[knightofratatosk]

[Sheena, you have no idea. He's not going to agree with her, though; he doesn't want to let her know what kind of shape he's in.]

[corrinesbell]

[she can sort of tell by looking at him. Don't make her pull the tea thing again]

Let's at least get you warmed up first. [carefully not denying him a search party adventure afterward]

[knightofratatosk]

[Warm, warm is good... he might be shivering a little bit even with the coat. He's been out in the cold for two days straight, after all.]

[corrinesbell]

[Which is why they're going back home first. Even if the going is slow]
