Fourth Shard [Action/Voice]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who knew nothing. He was a prince who loved his people and wanted to express that affection by improving the lives of his citizens. However, all of his attempts to add to his knowledge in order to benefit his people ended in disappointment. Until one day, when the kingdom was hit by a terrible plague. Desperately, the prince turned to a traveling witch for help. He convinced her to cast a spell on him, one which would allow him to truly learn new information. The deal was successful, and the prince was consumed by newfound curiosity. He found himself traveling throughout the land, asking question after question, constantly adding new information to his mind.

However, no matter how many answers the prince received, he found himself unable to do anything other than asking more and more questions....

[So Mytho has had a few weeks that have been eventful in the terms of getting some of his heart shards back. First was affection, which led to him spending more time around Rue. Then there was disappointment, which caused him to be somewhat withdrawn. And most recently, he has regained the desire for knowledge. Ever since last week, he has channeled this into studies. At school, he would be noticeable for asking questions frequently about even the most minor matters.

And this week, he goes around seeking some specific knowledge: the location of Rue. He's unaware that the rogue Malnosso's droids had kidnapped her. So he's been wandering around town, quick to inquire with anyone he sees, especially if he knows that the person in question knows her.]

[Voice]

I don't know where Rue has. Have you seen her? I don't know where she could be...

[He can't stop there. He already has another question on his mind.]

I'd also like to know... How does this book work?

Wait, you haven't seen Rue?

[That's enough to make him concerned right off the bat. Quickly he opens the journal to a new page to attempt to filter a message to her.]

The filter isn't breaking when I try to contact her, so that means she's still here. Maybe she's just been staying at home lately?

I don't know. Why would she stay at home? I don't know she wouldn't open the door, either...

She could be sick... it is the time of the year for people to come down with colds or the flu.

[He feels a twinge of fear at that.]

Is she sick? Is that true...?

Would she need... someone to care for her?

I don't know. But if she is, she might appreciate it if someone brought her soup or something like that. I do it sometimes when my friends are sick, just so they don't have to worry about trying to make food when they aren't feeling well.

Soup...

Emil, I'd like to make her soup. I'd like to bring it to her.

How does one make such a thing...?

Edited 2013-12-23 06:45 (UTC)

I could teach you how to make it if you want. Chicken soup isn't that hard to make even if you haven't really cooked before.

Okay. I'd like that.

Does Rue... like chicken? Do you think she will enjoy it?

I don't know, but I've never met anyone who didn't like chicken soup, especially when they were sick.

Wait-- who?

[The question barely registered in his distracted mind while he searched through the clothes in the shop for something that actually fit properly in his new, Shifted body. Though he had some decent enough clothes, he still needed a coat. Cliff, currently in the form of a petite, green eyed bluenette, set aside his search and gave the young man his full, undivided attention.]

Rue...

[He peers at the woman attentively, standing rigidly still.]

Do you know her? Have you ever heard the name before...?

[A shake of his head.]

Nah, I haven't kid. Sorry.

Okay.

[He frowns, but he continues speaking.]

Her hair... is brown.

Edited 2013-12-23 12:47 (UTC)

Brown hair, huh? [He offered a friendly smile and leaned forward a little, so they were closer in height.]

Tell me more about Rue. Is...she your sister?

[Because the young man's demeanor seemed too innocent for the missing girl to be anything but a friend or a relative. Cliff was almost reminded of Florian, if his student had been a little more mellow.]

[He just looks up gently.]

No. I don't believe that we're related at all.

Rue... She's known me for a long time. She helps... to look after me.

[There's a lot more to it then that, involving crows and sinister ballet. But he only relates what she is in the present.]

So she's a very good friend, then.

[A warm, understanding smile. Cliff had a friend like that himself, whose support he genuinely missed.]

Yes.

Those are the sorts of things... that make someone a good friend? Tell me, what are good friends like?

Rue is missing?

Is her stuff still around?

I don't know. I haven't seen her stuff. She hasn't answered her door... Do you think that her stuff is still there?

You should open the door. It... will let you know if she has gone home or not.

Her door... Would she want me to do that?

Do you think that... she's gone home? [He says, with some fear in his voice.] Why would she do such a thing?

If she's been missing it's best to check on that. And... people don't choose when they go home.

Not even Rue...? [It's only now that he has the desire for knowledge that he's really starting to wonder many questions about Luceti life.] I don't think she's want to go home now.

Her door... Suddenly I feel the feeling of fear about opening it...

[He's standing facing it right now, from where he is across the hall.]

It's the only way to know for sure. If her stuff is still there she'll come back.

[He pauses for a moment - his desire for knowledge and his devotion wrestling with his fear.]

I'd like to know... I'd like to know if she'll stay here or not.

[As he hesitantly steps towards the door.]

And... I'd like to care for her.
