10th Dawn ✯ [Video/Action]

[limitless_land]

[The feed's bouncing a little, like the person was walking when the feed turned on. If you look closely, there's a few snapped trees in the background, and what looks to be a pond of sorts. There's a little laughter in the background this time, but whether or not it's honest or forced remains to be seen. The feed crackles a bit, before coming to focus on his face. Now the owner's a little wet, judging by the dripping bangs as he sits down at a cafe. He smiles faintly, but is it true?]

Looks like quite a few new people have been arriving lately, even back during the attacks. Those pirates can be quite amusing when they aren't on the attack, huh.

[He chuckles a bit, fingering the locket around his neck.]

Guess anyone can be sentimental, too. Also... has anyone else noticed something different since the pirate ship crashed into the barrier?

Comments

[He notices that slightly bitter tone, tilting his head.] Something up, Kagome?

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head and sighs.] Sesshoumaru left.

[Back to the more important subject and trying avoid the fact that she actually cares.] Is there something different about the barrier?

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

I see...

[Hm. Well, this was a little different. He'd noticed the outfit change, and that she looked slightly older, but didn't comment just yet.]

Not the barrier, no... but it's a little odd here, now. Besides the pirates there really wasn't a curse at all that week. And, now that I think about it, how long has it been since you visited the coral?

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[She tried to smile but it was a failure.

She also forgot that her appearance might throw some people off still.]

I see your point. When the zombie mermaids where here, it was a similar situation. However, before they were here, the water was turning a green and I think there was an Earthquake. [She blinks.] I'm not sure...you?

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[So apparently that is a fail on two parts, then? Riku listens quietly, having not been present. Hm...]

Guess only time will tell about that one. [A pause.] ...Two and a half weeks. I'm still not lethargic outside of what happened with the fighting.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[There's nothing like a group fail, I guess. She's rather worried now. Maybe this was part one of something worse.]

I guess so. Just remain on your guard. Are you okay from the pirates? You didn't get hurt did you? That is rather weird.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. Just a few cuts that I've already taken care of.

[...Bullshit. He's been suffering headaches occasionally, now.]

Don't worry, I will. Can't afford to let my guard down.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it, Riku.

[Oh man that's not good. Headaches are the worse.]

I'm glad to hear it. Here, I thought Vatheon was more peaceful. First zombies and now pirates...I wonder what else is going to be thrown at us.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[A faint shrug. Hey, it's better than other things he's had before.]

I've yet to have much peace while here, but I see your point.

[He pauses.]

...I take it you returned home for a while?

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[It still worries her.]

I'm sorry to hear that Riku. Maybe you'll be able to now.

[She blinks and smiles at him.]

Yeah...I guess I was gone for three days here but in my time, three years passed. [She looks sad for a second.] It was a long journey.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Maybe... We'll see what the tides bring.

[A faint chuckle as he listened, but in the end he gives her a thoughtful glance.]

I would suppose so. Most journeys are long and tedious.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the tide will bring peace, at least for a little while.

[She smiles and then sighs quietly.]

I'm just glad that ours is over now. Three years passed before I was reunited with Inuyasha. It was hard.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Let's hope, then.

[He closes his eyes a moment, still listening. Reunions...]

Yeah, I'll bet.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

There have been some...nice curses, I guess.

[She watches him close his eyes.]

Riku, are you alright.

[She smiles slightly.] I think that was harder than defeating Naraku.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[He nods, both at the assessment and the question.]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[He opens his eyes, smirking faintly.]

Separation from those you care about is always harder than defeating those who oppose you.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[She smiled slightly.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[She smiled wisely, before sighing.] I wasn't sure I was ever going to see him again. I had a choice between going back to the Feudal Era or staying in the modern Era. I have people who love me on both sides....but in the end, I knew what choice I had to make.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[He listened for a moment, shaking his head slightly. Stuck between two choices... Well, at least she was decisive about it.]

It's always hard to choose between those you care about.
