[ LIGHTS, STAGE... ACTION. Here is Siffrin, in their default garb, exploring the lightstage. Steps quiet and careful as he steps over the dimly glowing stagefloor all cozily set up on the sand. How cute.
Step, step, step... the small traveler mostly drawn by the way the lights dance beneath their steps, as music plays that I yoink from the locations page this was not me i did not do this.
As he raises his head, he then realizes he isn't alone. ]
[ Siffrin went once, got a poncho cloak out of it, and never went back after finding their clothes from home so... yeah.
Watches her spin around, smiling a little, before the question comes and he blinks a few. ]
Dance? [ (...Do you? You feel like... maybe you know, but...) ] I don't know. But, I'm pretty quick on my feet in battle, that's kinda like dancing right..?
[ Elysia can find a familiar blob of white heading towards the lighthouse, though before they can venture up the stairs they stop and wait until she's close enough to offer a quiet greeting. ]
[ It comes with that familiar hesitation, but carefully and gently they put their hand in hers and doesn't mind taking the lead. Up the stairs they go! Up to the top of that lighthouse for that pretty view of the sea. ]
[ Some maze exploration sounds fun! But maybe someone is cheating a little as there's the sound of something slashing and a figure appears with knife in hand.
A gloved hand tilts their hat up, and Siffrin does look a bit different at least appearance wise. If having two eyes now and their black dyed hair is anything to go by but they're still around the same age. He offers her a cute wink with a grin. ]
Mind if I cut in? [ Their energy to definitely more whimsy, twirling their knife and sheathing it under their cloak. ]
[ The puns stay punning, even if their steps and movements seem lighter. Not deathly quiet as before. Not like they're constantly moving and trying to get somewhere. No, here they're taking their time. ]
Hah! [ A brief laugh at the join in joke, and giving her the most dramatic bow. ] You honor me, Ellie.
it started out happily enough, but the turn it takes.... oh, the toll it must have taken. elysia's existence is long in a much different way than timeloops, but she can only imagine how having to repeat the same thing over and over again would wear a person out.
especially for someone as sweet as siffrin. ]
How many times, Siffrin? How long have you suffered?
[ The implication is quietly there, with their meeting with Mirabelle again - a day before facing the King. The same two days. Over and over and over and over.
Their own reflection stares back at them, a much more frazzled and to them a version that doesn't yet realize what's ahead of them. Lost. Confused. Not when the Siffrin here stares so tiredly at the mirror, expression worn but they blink and it just happens so naturally now.
So convincing. A smile to convince their friends back home, to convince the people here. ]
..I wouldn't say I've been suffering. I've gotten used to it. [ Lies. But in part, it's to convince themselves, too. ] ..I don't know. The... loops blend together, after a while. Over a hundred now..? Something like that.
[ Sure, they could have lied about how long but they're afraid of what the mirror will show if they don't admit at least that. And, really, over a hundred loops of the same two days, it's not... that bad. They've been making use on time is all! (...) ]
but maybe after they settle a little bit. elysia would have chased them for real and cheated doing so, but plot happened. after discussion slows and before they start to gather again for a last night together, she holds out her hand to them. ]
[ Quiet time in the neighborhood, a nice spot in the gazebo with the church and garden nearby. Though, actually, Siffrin is more closer to the garden in this instance. Though they perk up at the sight of Elysia and come ever closer. One would think after having one day back sooner the emotions would be chill but. That bubbling yearning is so strong in this case, with nervousness, affection and love in that instance of crushing. ]
El, hello. [ At least their more negative emotions are being lidded, as they shift for a moment until gently hold out a pink camellia flower. Their other hand does a quick snap of their fingers, before their hand holds in a more open palm and the flower starts to float and spin after a ray of black streaks of lines and black stars shine over it as their craft magic casts over it. ] Flower for a flower.
[ That is... they are calling her.. a flower.. not asking for an exchange! Ahhh, that pun didn't work at all. ] ..I figured.. now was a better time, to share what flower traditions are from my country.
[ elysia's default emotion is love, love, love. there is affection when she sees siffrin, and when they offer her the flower can cast craft magic over it, her joy bubbles to the surface, too. ]
Oh, Siffrin.
[ she takes the camellia before enveloping them in a hug. ]
Thank you. I remember our letters. You're important to me, too.
Anyway, Siffrin really just stays in the same place.. which is the gardens in the neighborhood, but they are laying down in the grass just staring up at the beginning evening sky. Stargazing time? ]
[ We are at.. the beach! Where the stars are beginning to appear so nicely in the night sky. He's seated on the sands, near the shore but not too close to get wet.
Since, well, he's got more of those origami birds beside them. Currently with one cupped in their hands from where they think hard (please work, please work) and it will flutter to life after a glimmer of black stars from their craft.
Watches as it zooms over to fly over to greet Elysia, hi. ] ..Oh. El, hello.
