[Ochita]

Albert for his part, was walking along with Laura, silently walking next to her, occasionally glancing down at Laura's hand holding his. It felt.. Nice, He hadn't had his hand held like this.. Ever. He squeezed her hand, and gave a small smile when she turned to look at him.

[Solymr]

After a few moments of silence Harold decided to go his own way.

: I better try to give this to someone then. It's weighing me down real hard.

He walked down the main streets, avoiding alleys and poorly lit areas. After the most recent event following the reunion with his brother, he felt a bit less confident than he usually is.

Soon he found another part of the group. Tomik and Lillian were walking to Nikolai's place, and Senija was straggling behind.

: Oh hey, you're the big guy's sister, right?

[Powder Miner]

:"Ehhh, Tomik? Yeah, I'm his sister."

[Solymr]

: I don't think I got your name before, due to all this mess. I'm Harold, Harlan's brother.

[Powder Miner]

:"I dunno, I thought we introduced earlier, whatever. I'm Senija Cizek!"

[Solymr]

: I don't know, it feels like an awful lot of time since we entered that place. And thinking I almost get you all trapped or worse doesn't help. Aaaaand the fact that because of me his girlfriend got kidnapped makes me want to be... careful when dealing with the people he cares about.

Harold sighed.

: I was happy that Harlan and I met again, but now I think he sees me as sort of a load because of this...

[Powder Miner]

:"...if you're worried that Tomik or I will tear your face off or something, don't be, 'cause we're not."

[Solymr]

: I can handle getting beat up, but I wouldn't want to cause problems between my brother and the rest of you.

: Not saying that I want to beat up, mind you.

: Anyways... How is it having a brother like yours?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Lilly got Tomik's attention by bumping her hip against his as they walked and gestured with a turn of her head toward Harold and Senija behind them, then gave him a teasing grin with a raised eyebrow as if implying something.

[Swordstar]

Tomik raised an eyebrow and quietly whispered,

"And here I was thinking she was interested in Albert."

He grinned back, clearly going along with the joke.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"_{Want me to play a love song?}"

[Swordstar]

Grin widening, Tomik nodded.

"It would almost be a crime not to!"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Lilly took her guitar from her back and played a few notes, as if tuning it, then just launched straight into it.

"♪ She's just blood, flesh and bone ♫ But to me ♪ She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound ♫ But somehow I can't believe ♪ That anything should happen ♫ I know where I belong ♪ And nothing's gonna happen ♫ Yeah, yeah ♪"

"♪ 'Cause she's so high, ♫ High above me ♪ She's so lovely ♫ She's so high above me ♪ Like Queen Melisande¹, Saint Ciota², or Senthite³ ♫ She's so high, high above me ♪"

"♪ First class and fancy free ♫ She's high society ♪ She's got the best of everything ♫ What could a guy like me ♪ Ever really offer? ♫ She's perfect as she can be ♪ Why should I even bother? ♫"


"♪ 'Cause she's so high, ♫ High above me ♪ She's so lovely ♫ She's so high above me ♪ Like Queen Melisande, Saint Ciota, or Senthite ♫ She's so high, high above me ♪"

"♪ She comes to speak to me ♫ I freeze immediately ♪ 'Cause what she says sounds so unreal ♫ But somehow I can't believe ♪ That this is really going to happen ♫ I'm not where I belong ♪ And yet this is really going to happen ♫ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪"

"♪ 'Cause she's so high, ♫ High above me ♪ She's so lovely ♫ She's so high above me ♪ Like Queen Melisande, Saint Ciota, or Senthite ♫ She's so high, high above me ♪"

_{1: Queen Melisande is rumored to have been the most beautiful queen in Ixion history.
2: Saint Ciota (see-oh-ta) is the patron saint of star-crossed lovers.
3: In some cults of Alberal, Senthite (sin-thigh-tee) is the wife of Bor.}

[Powder Miner]

:"Having a brother like Tomik...? Well, every rare once in a while he'll piss me off, and he has me really worried half the time, but... it's worth it. I'd be super lonely without Tomik I think."

Aaand then Lilly started playing. Senija paused and shot a confused-as-all-everything look at her brother and Lilly.

:"...what're they even doing now?"

[Haspen]

Laura looked at the squeezed hand and then let out a quiet giggle, but said nothing.
