002 // A TRIUMPHANT RETURN (Video)

[bladeisme]

[Today, a face that hasn't been seen in a while pops up. Orange hair and his brown, eastern style looks-like-a-honedge's-scabbard clothes can be seen, before he adjusts his hair 'hand' that has the band on it in order to see his face more easily. Behind him are the familiar sights of Union, although he's clearly more close to Ninetails Vale than anything else. He also doesn't seem bothered by the cold at all]

Ah, hey!

[He smiles briefly, jerkily raising up one of his arms in order to mechanically wave at the camera.]

I'm back. A lot of you probably don't remember me, but...I kind of spent a month up in the mountains after the whole dream thing. Trying to get a little stronger...you know.

[He reaches up to scratch at the back of his head, and while the movement is slow and mechanical, he at least seems much more comfortable with it than he was when he first arrived.]

So, uh....I guess I'm asking if anything happened while I was gone. Yeah, I should've kept checking the band, but...I guess I just forgot.

[Something attracts his attention, and he turns his head automatically - and there's only a little jerkiness as he does so.]

Oh yeah, what's with all the lights? Another holiday? Man, you guys sure like your holidays...

[After a moment, he shakes his head.]

I think that's it for now. -OH, yeah! Maya, is it still alright if I stay with you guys? I still haven't figured out how to go back to being a pokemon yet, but...if your rooms are full up or something, I'll figure something else out.

[ACTION]

[Cordelia can be found in various places in the city. Recently evolved, she looks sleeker, and her movements are much more graceful than before. She seems to be in a rather cheerful mood, a spring to her step. She had a very clear mission today, to find as many Salvation day gifts as possible, but she kept stopping in front of bridal shops.

At the Rangers HQ, she seems a lot more laid back than before, and is actually smiling and laughing much easier than she had been for a long time. Something definitely had changed, and the more astute observer might notice that she has acquired a new piece of jewelry.]


[Cordelia has also been more present at the Fabre estate since Luke and Asch's return, insisting that she take care of their training personally. She has yet to break the news with her extended family (and somehow her mother has managed to keep it quiet, which is something of a miracle) and their friends. While around the mansion, she will wear gloves, trying to pick the proper time to tell anyone about the news.]


[VOICE]

I have heard that the tree in Citadel is still blooming. I am planning to make a trip out there to investigate this myself, for my own reasons. The flowers might be a wonderful addition to any Salvation day decorations. Would anyone like to accompany me?
