[He is here!! To visit her, but he's also looking around, since he only really helped with the Japanese-style houses. But he won't be too terribly nosy--soon enough he moves to join her on her balcony.
He smiles a little, but he looks down at the same time.]
I did what I could.
[And it's a little easier to bear now that they're back, but until now... it's never felt like enough.]
You had a lot of ground to cover. I only saw and listened to snippets of what you explained, but it sounds like a hefty responsibility that you upheld admirably.
[ (He killed Meteion.) It's fine. She was refracting.
(He gave them a bogus location.) She has nothing to say or think to excuse that. ]
[Ah... he nods, taking this all in. It reminds him, a little bit, of being a spirit--of being able to observe, but not interact with the physical realm on his own. He wonders if it had felt a little lonely, to those of them who weren't used to such a thing, but he doesn't ask.
[ Roxana is someone who takes more to observing than most. She creates a lonely atmosphere for herself, but loneliness has never been a factor for her to consider. She does not mind being alone. ]
Not all the time. They appeared randomly and usually without warning. Those who were returning items had better luck find them and interacting with them.
Oh, I see. [So it wasn't like the living side, then, where they could find their residents pretty much whenever they wanted.] So it was mostly just you guys, on that side.
[ In two days, he can experience what he could have, if I wasn't racing against you and he weren't so very gay and with a role. ]

But he has no problem letting her take his hand--he seems grateful, even, and happy to hold hers too.]
You all could see us somehow, right? When we had our meetings and things like that?
no subject
We had to concentrate to see any of you, but it was easier when you were all together.
[ because then she didn't have to split her focus as much. ]
no subject
How did it work? Was it like those tears?
[The ones they watched executions and battles through, he means]
no subject
The tears are something that weren't really on that side until recently.
[ well, maybe there were tears before they all arrived here, but she can't know one way or another. ]

The other residents were with you, right?

Not all the time. They appeared randomly and usually without warning. Those who were returning items had better luck find them and interacting with them.

Right, Buzen mentioned building the road, or something?
