9:59 pm	What a lovely time...... My date with Cecile was very lovely...... I headed to Mamie's cafe early in the evening. I asked before hand if I could use it and, after much arguing, I finally manage to have her agree with me. I then asked around the castle for help on waiting our table. After get a few people, I waited till nightfall.... I heard her come in while I was setting up to cook. I told her to pick a table and then I came out in a nice tux. I came up to her and acted as the waiter. I could see the blush on her cheeks but after giving me her order of water and a salad, I returned to the back of the cafe. After preparing our meals, I came back out, in my normal cloths, and sat across from her. We made idle chit chat, talking about fishing and such. Our food came, and she noticed that I was using chopsticks. I asked her if she wanted to learn but she said no. After we finished our meal, we started to walk by the lake. I believe she said that the lake was lovely tonight. I said yes it is lovely tonight but I know something more lovely. That turned into a guessing game for Cecile, which, after a while, she ran out of ideas She won't admit that she gave up , even after I gave her the clue of if you look in the lake you can see it. Smiling, I moved right next to her ear and whispered "You are," and kissed her on the cheek. Smiling somemore, we head towards the tree that I usually sit under. I jumped up into the tree and came down with my lute that she got for me. I wanted to play for her but then she said she had to go on patrol. I wanted her to say but we ended up having a small arugement. I quickly asked if she would listen to me play before she left. She said yes and I played, in my opinion, one of my better songs. After I finished, I gave her one final kiss and she was off....... That was one fun night ^_^ Current Mood: giddy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:52 am	Reappearing......... My first night back was interesting to say the least....... I came into the castle like a bandit. I didn't want anyone to notice me. I had gone off to see my grandfather's grave back in Dunan and I wanted to clear my head. It also seemed that my presence wasn't welcomed around the castle. I thought maybe if I disappeared for a bit, things will cool down. Anyway, I made my way to my usual spot, under the tree by the lake. I just sat there watching the lake. Before I knew it, though, I had my lute out that Cecile gave me and started to struming some cords. It seemed that my music attracts people because in a moment, Cecile was at my side listening. We talked for a few moments, about this and that. It apepared that people missed me around the castle, which was interesting but even more interesting was that my sister was here............I am still debating if I should go see her or not. Seeing Cecile's smiling face made me want to play again. I picked up my lute and started to play and sing too but not so much on the singing. When I finished, she clapped for me and said that I should perform for others. I was a little embrassed at the kind guester. It was then that I noticed that the sun was started to rise and we sat there watching it....... ((OOC: *bows* Sorry for disappearing like that. After that god-moding incendent and my "chat" with Sam, I didn't feel like I was up to rping Riou but I am back and I hope you all forgive me. *bows again*)) Current Mood: confused (Comment on this)

12:55 pm	They don't understand...... I was merely meditating by the lake when all chaos broke lose..... I was meditating when Cecile came up to me and asked what I was doing. I told her I was meditating so I could keep my emotions in check. That was when Juan appeared. Knowing that he was the trainer here, I thought that I could get a sparing match in with him. Seeing that he wasn't really going for it, I pushed him a little bit. My body was feeling stiff lately so I need a good sparing match. Then he said something about me being a kid. That got me really pissed angry. Feeling really insulted, I egged him on even more. As luck (or unluck, depending) Luca appeared. How the hell did he survive? He appeared and started to egg Juan on too. For once, I could see where Luca was coming from. Saying Juan was weak, etc. From What I could tell from Juan, he is just a dog with more bark then bite. Anyway, Cecile stopped us from fighting and that was when I decided to walk off before things got even worse. Before I left, I heard Luca frighting Cecile by killing Thomas. While I was off walking, I ran into Ted. He was pissed at me. He said he had it tougher then I have. I really don't care. From what I know of him, he had the soul eater rune and he was alone for sometime. From what I know of the rune, it takes the souls of people close to the bearer. I heard that he had his rune removed recently and gave it to his best friend. I can understand that he would be sad and angry but he had no right to try and remove my runes. They maybe a curse but they are the only things left that I have of them. Somehow, we almost got into a fight. Once again, I left in a huff. While I was walking around, I heard Luca and Cecile talking. Seeing what was about to happen, I decided to step in. Cecile charged Luca with her spear but I protected him with my bright shield rune. I knew if she were to fight Luca, she would have died. I wouldn't let that happen. She was being foolish, putting her pride before her life. I told Luca to leave and before I left, she asked me why. I told her I couldn't let someone so innocent die at his hands............. ((OOC: Er umm......*bows* Gomenasai to everyone at fridays rp. I know Riou was a little to angist. *bows* I am sorry for that. Please forgive me.)) Current Mood: bitchy (Comment on this)

5:12 pm	First Day and Bad Impresstions I sighed as I sat under a tree by the lake. Much has happened and I haven't even been here a day yet. Where to start....... I guess I should start at arrivaling here at Budehuc. I was traveling north to clear my head of the war that I had fought and the people I had lost. I shutter at all the memories that came flooding back. I shook my head and placed a smile on my face as I stepped on the castle grounds. I heard this place in my travels and thought it would be interesting to check out. I was surprised to see some of my old allies here. The moment I stepped into the bar, a bear of a man instantly took me into a bear hug with just one of his arms. I looked up to see it was my old friend Viktor. I just smiled at the man. He may look scuffy but he is a nice guy at heart. Seeing that there was no cook, I decided to make everyone a treat with some Dunan cooking that I learned from Hai Yo. With the help of a new friend Rody, we made stew, steak, and (my personal favorite) ice cream for everyone. It seemed most of the people in the tavern like the cooking. While I was cooking, I heard the castle guard was sick. Feeling bad for her, I took some ice cream up to her room. Along the way, I met another man that looked sleepy for some odd reason. Shrugging it off, I knocked on the door of the castle guard. When the door open, I was in shock yet again. There, standing in front of me, was a now grown up Tuta. I grinned at my old friend. After some chit chat, I walked over to the castle guard. I saw she was with another man. Placing the ice cream on her night stand, I placed my hand on her forehead. Seeing that she had a fever, I decided to help out a bit. Kicking everyone out of the room, I started to use my bright shield rune to heal her. Course, before I was done, the man that was with her before busted through the window and stopped me. Not breaking my focus, the power of the bright shield rune flew through me towards her. I wasn't sure if it helped or not but I had to try. Wasn't like me to let someone suffer if I could stop it. Sighing to myself, I started to get up from my sitting position when I heard her saying something like she has to get back to her duties. That a sickness like this shouldn't keep her from doing her duties. I do not know why I was angry at the time, but I went up to her and slapped her across the face. I told her she shouldn't be so stupid to put her duty before her own life, or something like that. If she truelly wanted to protect everyone, she would have to get over her illness soon. She is no help to anyone if she is sick. With that, I left her room and a bowl full of melted ice cream......... I sighed now that I think about it. I hope I didn't scare her. I look down at my right hand. Even with the power of a true rune, I couldn't save her.......... (( What you guys think of my first post?)) Current Mood: depressed (Comment on this)
