[falenanthief]

[Roy’s journal is open and recording. Is it on purpose or by accident?]

Oh, now you decided to come for me. Looks like I’ll be off! And don’t forget practice, guys!

[The Drama Group get that directed at them without a filter, since Roy doesn't have enough time to put it up before the droids arrive. Soon enough, there are noises of Roy resisting, follow by some remarks from him to the droids.

Then, silence.]

I've done it once before. I know he appreciated it then.

[action]

[falenandawn]

That sounds like him.

[action]

[implanta]

[She's quiet a moment, then:]

Do you know him very well?

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

He is a comrade from home. [Turning to face her fully, he collapses his weapon back into pieces before placing it in the holster at his back.

She might notice they look... awfully alike, but their coloring is entirely different.]

[action]

[implanta]

[...yes, she's definitely noticing it. Do you mind a nosy princess getting all up in your business, Frey?]

Huh... are you sure he's just a comrade? He's not your twin, is he?

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

[Luckily, people back home are confused enough by it to make this question easily answered.] ....He is not. The resemblance is entirely coincidental, though it has confused many people.

[action]

[implanta]

I'm not sure I buy it. You two look a lot alike.

[action]

[falenandawn]

I know we do. It is why we met. But I assure you, we are not related.

[He's his body double but he'd rather not mention that.]

[action]

[implanta]

Unless you're both related and just don't know it.

[Don't worry, Roy's going to get the same questioning later on.]

[action]

[falenandawn]

I am quite sure we are not related. It is all coincidence.

[Good luck Roy. Try not to flip tables.]

[action]

[implanta]

[The look on her face says she doesn't buy it. But she'll stop for now. Roy won't get mad at her, she's too adorable to be angry with! :D]

I suppose I'll believe it for now.

[action]

[falenandawn]

[You misunderstand- that table will be flipped in Freyjadour's direction.]

In any case.... you are sure you will be alright, Miss?

[action]

[implanta]

[She will quell his annoyance. Somehow.]

...I'll be fine. And you?

[action]

[falenandawn]

I will be fine, as well. [He didn't wish to trouble her with the nagging worry this had produced. four people in the past seven days.... it seemed almost too much.]

[action]

[implanta]

Are you sure? You can talk to me if not.

[action]

[falenandawn]

It is not something talking will solve, I am afraid. [He smiles faintly in an attempt to reassure her.] I will be fine, I assure you.

My name is Freyjadour, by the way. I never got your name, Miss.....?

[action]

[implanta]

...well, the offer is still there.

I'm Cloche. Cloche Leythal Pastalia, Thirty-Third Maiden of the Grand Bell.

[action]

[falenandawn]

I am pleased to meet you, Cloche, though I wish it were under better circumstances. I am Freyjadour Falenas. [She gave her title, manners dictated to do the same for her, but... Roy might have already mentioned him, for all he knew. Then again...]

Commander of the Queen's Knights of Falena.

[That was his proper title, now.]

[action]

[implanta]

Queen's Knights? You sound a lot like Croix and Leglius. It's certainly an admirable position. I'm happy to meet you too, though I agree on circumstances.

[action]

[falenandawn]

Ah.... you flatter me, but I am afraid I am still quite new yet. [He had only just been named commander before returning, afterall.... Subject change....]

I am sure Roy will be back soon. I will be keeping an eye out for him along with some others who have been taken in recent days.

[action]

[implanta]

I will as well, and I'll look to see if I notice anyone coming back. If I do, I'll be happy to help, especially if you know them.

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

....You have my thanks, Miss Cloche. [That smiles grows a bit, a little less sad in response to her offer. The more people keeping an eye out for returnees the better.]
