[Hymn #47] [Movement] ~One Who Would Seize Glory~

[nightcrossed]

[For all technical purposes, Tear has made herself scarce. She is taking the rest of the week off from work and has informed no one about it save the manager. That doesn't mean she's impossible to find, however. Rather predictably she is sitting near her flower garden at the Hakurei Shrine, rolling an apple between her palms that she snagged from breakfast this morning and hasn't taken the first bite of. There's a lot for her to mull over, and she can't do that unless she has some time to herself. Auldrant has never seemed so far away, but she has no idea where to go from here, and she still has so very many unanswered questions.]

Van...

[OOC: Cherry's mean, but I need to get some of this heavy crap out of the way at some point. 1% on Absorption Gate, mainly concerned with dialogue; the battle itself; and Van, like all good Disney villains, falling to his "demise". AND THAT VAN SRSLY PLAYS HIS OWN BGM ON THE ORGAN. We'll worry about the other cast members and all the technical Sephiroth (not that Sephiroth) stuff at another time, so assume she doesn't know anything about lowering the land or where the heck all this drama is taking place. That makes 12% with 2% left. She'll go back to work next Monday.]

*slips off his shoes in the entry way and waves her into the small kitchen just off of the hall of worship*

Well enough, once I finally recovered from all of that revelry. I have simply been ... thinking on a great many things recently. Much like you, it seems. Are you doing all right?

*fills a kettle to boil water in*

[Tear follows Fay's example, pausing to slip off her high-heeled boots, knowing they'd probably damage the tatami mats in an instant, and likely scuff the floors as well.]

Yes... Oktoberfest was certainly something. I'm afraid I don't remember it very clearly, and I might not want to. What I do remember is suffering the worse headache imaginable after everything was over.

I can't really complain, though. I also started to regain memories in the days following the alcohol incident. I'm sure they're linked.

[Tear took a seat, folding her legs beneath herself and resting her hands neatly in her lap.]

Yes... There are always things to think about. A great number of things.

Indeed. *tries to muffle a sigh*

*turns back to her and leans on the counter casually* Anything you need to get off your chest?

[She's too preoccupied to even blush at the mention of 'chest' even though it was only a harmless expression.]

Well, yes... and no.

[Tear had decided that it was probably for the best if she just internalized what she had remembered. After all, it was in the past, and she didn't fully understand what her memories implicated. Nothing could be done about that now, and even if there were steps that needed taking, it would require the assistance of the other two from her world. There was no use in getting others caught up in Auldrant's business. However...]

There's no use in bringing up the past, especially when I can't fully comprehend what it is that I've remembered, but, there is something else...

[The question was how to bring it up without sounding stupid.]
