[arkitect]

It does seem somewhat... over-indulgent.

[he's dressed in black robes again, thanks fantasy outfits, his mask in place... and he's not slouching? it's like whatever invisible weight sat on his shoulders just isn't there, posture straighter now.

emet-selch glances into one of the mirrors that i assume is nearby if there's makeup and stuff, frowning slightly, but it's brief.]

[chanteuser]

[ wow, the healing properties of the spa are working already. ]

[robopriest]

It is, but castles scream overindulgent, really.

[And an eyebrow raise at the posture change.]

Must have gotten some good sleep last night, Emet-Selch.

[arkitect]

'Tis still unbecoming, to flaunt one's individuality so... but I suppose the rest of the place is fine enough.

[a little frown at the makeup. hm.]

I would not say I slept particularly well or poorly, though.

[robopriest]

Ah, I understand. Well, if it helps, maybe just think about it as something just done for fun than anything else.

[Emet's fantasy monk community...]

Really? You look like you've just...got a lot more energy. I don't know.

[arkitect]

Do I? I suppose I shan't complain-- perhaps it was the new bed.

[robopriest]

Perhaps it was. Well, I'm glad.

[And gesturing at the Pallas cat at his feet.]

...Who is your new friend?

[WHAT KIND OF CAT IS THAT??]

[arkitect]

-you know, I really have no idea. We have no creatures such as this upon our star-- cats, yes, but none of us have created one with... such a countenance.

[the cat moves to sit at hansa's feet, headbutting his leg only once. it is probably sort of affectionate.]

[robopriest]

Well, I like it very much. Looks like you.

[He reaches down to give it a gentle pat on the head. Cute grumpy kitty!]

[antaressnipe]

[Oh. He's standing straighter. Maybe he enjoys spas? Chiron shall not judge.

The baby deer is gonna, however, giving Emet a sniff like she's trying to discern where the change is coming from]

[arkitect]

[oh, hello. he crouches down to give her a headpat. the cat at his feet brushes against chiron's leg.]

[antaressnipe]

[Oh. Headpats. Those are acceptable and she will nudge at his hand, even as Chiron gives a quiet hum of amusement watching the cat wind around him]

She is concerned for you.

[arkitect]

Concerned...? I cannot imagine why.

[he straightens, after giving the deer pats.]

I am uncertain what I lost, but I feel well enough, despite this body.

[chanteuser]

I’m still trying to work out if those kinds of memory losses are better or worse —- when you don’t remember what they are.

[ still..... ]

You do look less tired. And a little more relaxed?

[arkitect]

I suppose it all depends. It may well be worse for its return, or all may be well either way... though if all of you are evidently seeing some improvement, mayhap I ought not complain.

[well. that's definitely not his previous position of hating to lose anything.]

[chanteuser]

It's probably better than being run down by this place?

[ she. does not feel like she believes this. looking at chiron and hansa's reactions, she might believe the opposite, actually.

haha! ]

But... that's the danger of it, I guess. We don't know what we lost, so we don't know how things will change when we remember.

[antaressnipe]

[... A terrible thought crosses Chiron's mind but frankly it's so bad that he immediately

pushes it to the side for now until he has more evidence but no

absolutely not]

Are you partial to the area, then? I know many here enjoy the scenery.

[arkitect]

'Tis not quite so grand as the city, but I enjoy it nevertheless. This is the closest I have yet seen to my home, different as it may be.

[that's probably fine!]

[antaressnipe]

... The city, yes.

[Smiling. The deer comes back to Chiron's side, her fur standing on end a little]

Which city? I do not recall if you went into detail about it.

[arkitect]

I am sure I must have, though I am equally sure mere description will not quite do Amaurot justice.

[but with a wave of one hand, he adds-]

You will simply have to see it with your own eyes, after we are done here, to know if words alone were enough to paint the picture well.

1/2

[antaressnipe]

[...]

[antaressnipe]

-- Yes, of course.

[Smiling... at Alex and Hansa, but particularly Hansa now, as if asking to perhaps talk later.

In the meanwhile, Chiron's deer quietly wilts and presses her nose against Emet's side again]

I will look forward to seeing your city.

[chanteuser]

[ what's going on





alex's head. ]

?

[antaressnipe]

[Just pats her on the shoulder, ha ha.

Later.

They will speak... later]

[robopriest]

[uh]

[looking at chiron]

[looking at emet]

[yeah this is....this is................................not good. haha]
