Can someone please explain to me why there is a statue of me in this strange town's plaza?

[Yep, that's it. That's all she's going to ask.]

...I think there is a story behind this that I am not getting.

Wait, how do they know you?

That seems a little odd when the people here don't know who I am.

[So, when he sees a familiar name show up on the charms, a few things happen in rapid succession: one, he fumbles with the charm and nearly drops it; two, he tries to activate it to say her name, or "wait right there, I'm coming!" and manages to get none of it recorded; three, he immediately bolts out of the (strangely crowded) inn and straight to the plaza where the statues are.

He's currently there, hastily peering through rows of statues.]


Shionne?!

Perhaps there might be someone who knows you here? That's the only reason I can think of.

But why they would make a statue? I'm not sure.


[Did they miss her that much??]

I don't know why but...

You don't think that statue is supposed to be cursed, right?

.....

Did you do something that is worthy in someone's eyes?


[Please don't tell him that you died.]

[He passes by rows of faces, familiar and not, each frozen in reverent neutrality. It sure is creepy, this memorial frozen in time...but Alphen isn't here to reflect on it, he's here to--

Ah. He spots her in the distance just between two rows of statues, and he pauses for a moment with his mouth half-open. How long has she been gone? It's only been two months, if that, but it feels like so much longer in a way he can't quite describe. He doesn't waste time trying to lead her to him; she'll see him soon enough, anyway, as he's currently bolting in her direction.]


Shionne! You... [uh. he hadn't thought farther ahead than that.] You're really here!

Anything you did back home? That's the only other thing I got.

[This place was so weird already...]

[Alphen is still stunned. In some far-off corner of his mind, he can hear her asking perfectly reasonable questions for someone who hasn't been here before, but those will have to wait. Every battle fought without the Blazing Sword, every meal with too many leftovers, every brash choice he's made without her sharp, reasonable responses...each reminder of her absence has been a needle jammed in his chest, and all at once, they're gone. Because she's here.

Words have never been his strongest suit. He's certainly no poet or anything like that. But right now, they fail him utterly, and so he falls back on actions -- thorns or no. His arms go around her shoulders and he pulls her close, wincing at every crackle and spark but knowing nonetheless that it's completely worth it.]


I missed you.

[It'll be a short embrace, because he knows better than to stay too close for too long, and even those few moments will ache later. But still...worth it.]

Maybe someone else might think differently?

Even if it is high treason, perhaps they didn't like the people in charge?


[Look, he's just...trying to find a reason for this.]

Joke or not, it's still...odd. I don't know, this place is odd in general. For a prison, it doesn't seem like one.

[Hours? For a moment, he looks surprised, but...then again, it wouldn't be the first time he's experienced some kind of weird time anomaly, right? Kisara's proof enough of that -- plus his own memories, when he first got here.

A smile flickers across his face, even as she's calling him names. He watches the bright flare of her eyes as she casts her healing arte, marveling at the familiarity of it, even after this long. Even though she calls him that, and even though it's complicated and confusing and doesn't have an easy explanation, his smile sticks around.]


It may have only been a few hours for you, but for me, it was a lot longer. More like two months.

I’m sorry but what is Dahna?

Is that where you are from?
