[Some of you may have noticed that Ledah was missing from the city yesterday! Well, wonder no more about it, because Ledah is holding up the phone with one shaky hand. Bloodstains are visible on his white cravat and slightly less noticeable on his red robes, and he looks badly shaken.]

...I must really stop dying for people.

Some of the minor ones are from Ein and his group. The most severe ones are from Malice, whose attack I shielded Ein from.

A-and you died...? [She'll ask for more details later when she's done worrying/panicking.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

Yes. I died.

[Action]

[technologic]

[For a moment she doesn't say or do anything.

Then she moves forward to wrap her arms around him.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[Ledah shakes a little as a few teardrops fall on her shoulder.]

[Action]

[technologic]

[She forcefully blinks away her own tears and just tightens her arms around him. April had no idea what she should say, but she at least wanted him to know that she's here for him.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

...Thank you.

[Action]

[technologic]

... Y-you're welcome. I just... w-want to try to help you, in anyway that I can.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

I'm glad you're here for me.

[Action]

[technologic]

And that won't stop anytime soon.

... Do you... want to go to the hotel?

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

I think that would be for the best.

[Action]

[technologic]

Okay, let's go.

[So to the hotel they go, and April pretty much sticks to Ledah's side until they get to their room.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[Ledah sits down carefully.] It hasn't changed much. How long have I been gone?

[Action]

[technologic]

You've only been gone for a day. [April stays standing, her panic and nerves not letting her relax yet.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

Oh. That's good. [Ledah sighs in relief.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Yeah, so you haven't missed anything.

[After a moment, she walks closer, her expression concerned.] ... How're you feeling?

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

...Shaken, I think. My master whose plans I did so much for went against the will of the gods the entire time.

[Action]

[technologic]

[... Ohgeez.] I... T-that's horrible.

[And now he's getting another hug.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[He hugs her back.] It's all right.

[Action]

[technologic]

... I really don't like your master. [Her arms tighten around him a bit more, and considering how friendly April is to practically everyone, the fact she's doesn't like his master is saying a lot.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

The only one who likes him is Malice, and she has nothing but fanatical devotion. Everyone else hates him.

[Action]

[technologic]

I'm not surprised, since he sounds like a bastard. [She pulls away from him, so that she can take a seat next to him.]

... I-is... there anything I can do to try to help you?

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

Just stay with me for a while.

[Action]

[technologic]

Of course. I'll stay with you for as long as you need me to.

[Ledah rests his head on her shoulder.]
