Rosa, Rydia. Edward is...

Edward is...

[He cannot finish that sentence, but those last few words are rather obvious.]

...Why can Johto not give without taking, for once?

[And that is all Cecil has to say.]

I'm sure he'll do a fine job. I hope to see it, someday.

[ She's worried about how you're taking it, though. ]

I am in my room. Would you....like company?

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Cecil? [That doesn't sound too good.]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry...

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

Aw, man... I'm sorry, Cecil.

[Rydia looks up from her gear and wipes some tears from her eyes.]

Y-You really think so...? [Osmose waddles over the door to open it for Cecil. Rydia gestures for Cecil to come in.] D-Do you want to come in?

[action]

[paladinlost]

[He obviously does, patting Osmose's head gently before going to sit near Rydia.]

I've seen many people leave and return. It means running to Cherrygrove to find them, but I doubt any of us would mind doing so for Edward.

...Thank you.

Seventeen years, and at times I feel as if I'm still not used to having one. The heart works strangely, sometimes.

Yeah, well...family in and of itself is a difficult thing to deal with. At least, I think it is.

[paladinlost]

You will. We'll all have the chance to visit, and to comment on his choice of carpet in the throne room, and to discuss the cost of quality stone until we refuse to speak a single word more on the subject.


...Company would be appreciated. Please.

[paladinlost]

...Hello. Are you settling in well enough?

[paladinlost]

He'll be happier at home, where he'll be able to help his country.

I should have known seeing three of our friends return without ill effects was too good to be true.

[video]

[paladinlost]

From what I've seen, wives and sons are easy enough to live with. Siblings are more complicated.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...

...yeah. Yeah, they are.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Be they related by blood or adopted, they tend to be... How many do you have?

[video; screw it, I have actual icons on this one]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...I had one brother through I guess what you'd call adoption. But that was a long time ago.

[video; this is the one with the icons, so I use it to comment everywhere else]

[paladinlost]

Even with time, they still stay our siblings. Even if they run off for years with nary a letter sent.

[video; :|b excellent plan]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...

It was a more difficult situation than simple desertion, I'm afraid.

[video; ...and then someone complained on rpanoncomm]

[paladinlost]

...Was he mindcontrolled for years into attempting to destroy the whole planet?

[Because it would suck if it had happened to two different people.]

[video; 8| LOLWUT, internet. stay classy.]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...

[WHAT.]

Er...no.

[video; rpanoncomm is always classy]

[paladinlost]

[Cecil has had some interesting experiences with brothers.]

...A mildly but not horrifyingly difficult situation, then. Did you get along?

[video; trufax]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Of course. He was my best friend, and we trained together for years.

But I suppose you can't really help the kind of things that happen when a war starts breaking out.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Hey, that brings back memories...

And then Lancer gets to the war part.]

...You found yourselves on opposite sides, then?

[video]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Always how the story goes, isn't it?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Always, even if normally it'd not be an issue. There was a duel involved, I suppose?
