[ alphinaud does not receive anything back, but he does get a watcher coming to meet him, wherever in cigazze he is. their cloak is pulled closed around them comfortably, though hard to say if their daemon is in the layers anywhere or not since it's not visible. ]
[ Somewhere more isolated, free from most passers-by, for certain.
Alphinaud waits until they arrive, and at his feet a carbuncle sits patienty, its three tails gently swishing about. It's the first to notice the approaching Watcher, alerting him with a small chirp; he lifts his head from the waterway below, perking up at the sight. ]
—Ah! So the letters do reach you. Brilliant. 'Tis not bad timing for a little chat, is it?
[ the fennec fox appears first, claws skittering on the pavement as it clambers up to greet alphinaud and his daemon! it stops about a foot short from them, tail wagging, as suriel catches up with a chuckle. ]
[ A fox friend... who shall approach another fox-like friend! A carbuncle sits obediently at Alphinaud's feet, though as the other daemon runs to greet them, it curiously steps forward to inspect them over.
Alphinaud watches the two for a moment, then looks up to catch the sight of the Watcher. ]
Well met, Suriel. [ He also bows back; what a polite duo. ] Doubtless you are already well aware, but I am Alphinaud Leveilleur. 'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance, and I do hope I am not interrupting a busy time of your day.
[ baraqiel comes to join him in this new world, daemon just as absent this time as the last, steps careful over the various bits of coral and plantlife that glow up at them. ]
[ I'm choosing the Solar, because cozy. While he waits, Alphinaud will be curiously skimming over the spines of books; once she arrives, however, he looks over his shoulder. ]
—Shamsiel! Hello again to you, as well, and my thanks for joining me. How fare you?
So! Alphinaud will be in the Solar, sitting of course; Esmerie (in paissa form, to appease the naru) sits in his lap, and beside him is a cat doll. Her swiftness and dismay catches him by surprise. ]
[ Alphinaud gives and acknowledging nod. And hey, look - he's back on two feet again! ]
Allow me to get straight to the matter—I were to learn one thing regarding the worlds of three others, and that I have done. First, there is Nero, who hails from lands where magicks are rare and wizards are feared by the common man. Second, there is Rika, claiming to come from a small village; there, she said, its modern advancements are not as far along as in the worlds as others. And then there is Ulrika, who told tale of how alchemists once flourished and the struggles they faced in the light of disappearing Mana, spirit elementals that oft make pacts with said alchemists.
[ shamsiel will be able to meet him no problem. their broken arm has been put up in a sling very neatly and the stab wound to their side has been taken care of. as for the matter of their broken wing...? well, that's currently still somewhat dragging behind them. ]
Unless I'm physically unable, then I think that's the only case where I would not meet you.
Hello, Mr. Leveilleur! [ they come to approach him pre-party time, arms folded behind their back, wings visible and out without their undercloak on. their daemon is raven-formed, croaking softly on their shoulder. ] I'm used to seeing your sister - what can I do for you today?
[ Not that he can blame them; guess who was in the same boat last week! ]
Good day, Suriel! After some much needed rest, 'tis safe to say I am hale and whole, so you needn't worry for my sake. I am grateful for the concern, however.
[ well if he was expecting to see a happy shamisel, then he definitely won't. she'll meet him by the fountains but she'll look mild distraught and still having a broken arm. ]
How are you Alphinaud? Did you fair the trial okay?
[ and a rare sight will be one (1) flying shamsiel who will take full advantage of her wings to find him wherever he's sulking. not...that she doesn't blame him. she'll beat her wings twice just before she lands gracefully and tucks them away. ]
[ Into the depths of Castletown, hopefully in a spot where none of his fellow travelers would easily find him. Watchers, on the other hand, are a different story apparently.
On a bench he sits, Esmerie clutched tightly in his arms, face buried into her bright, emerald fur; she looks no better, all three tails drooping over his arms as if they've lost all life to them. They're quite the pathetic pair right now.
The sudden flapping of wings does startle him into finally lifting his head, though, expression shocked but worn. Alphinaud freezes, not unlike a frightened animal who wants to bolt at any second. ]
[ they haven't talked in a while, after all, and yomiel is well aware that alphinaud knows of her role. as they walk the stage of the concert hall, though, they don't seem that bothered, instead focusing on the instruments and giving the equipment a little test. ]
[ satariel will come to meet him gladly! she's still got her cloak on, in full, wings tucked neatly to hide them from view. her daemon swoops by as a raven, going to perch on a branch. time to look slightly less weird! ]
