Who: Slaine Troyard adept and you.
What: -1 goddess
When: March 18th
Where: Library at Elsa's School
Warnings: Angst.


[When Slaine couldn't locate Dal Dal, that had been concerning, but it wasn't the first time. As it got later, he tried looking for her only to find that he couldn't. Nowhere he looked and nowhere he tried gave him any indication of where she was...that is, until he finds his kitten batting a crumpled piece of paper around.

And, once he does...

Well. Maybe it's fortunate that he's by himself, because it feels like his insides twist into knots. His throat feels tight, his eyes burn, and in the end he just sits there crying for a time. The note's a half-smudged mess by the time all's said and done, and he doesn't know where to go - or what to do. He's not even sure who he should ask about something like this.

If she's gone, what then? Does he get reassigned - is he already reassigned?

Eventually though, he makes his way to the library in Elsa's school, hoping the red around his eyes isn't as noticeable to anybody else as it is to him. He takes up a seat in the corner as he usually does, and simply buries his face in a book, hoping it's easier not to worry about what happens next if he's focused on something...though that doesn't seem to work as the page in front of him blurs and he winds up wiping his face with his sleeve]


[ooc: Rolling with Dal Dal having left him a note as per her drop message. At this point he's figured out she must be gone but hasn't woken up in his new god's temple. Good stuff? Good stuff]

Slaine?

[Hakkai pauses on his way to the shelves, frowning as Slaine wipes his face with his sleeve. It's not unusual for the young man to be in that corner with his book. It is unusual for him to be --

... crying?]

What's wrong?

[Abandoning his plan to finish the Kojiki for a little research into the relationships of the Heavenly dignitaries, he starts for Slaine's corner.]

[galactically]

[Sheryl happens to wander from one table to the next when she stops, noticing Slaine in the corner, burying his face in a book. With the sight of a familiar person, this would normally be her cue to start pestering chatting up a storm, except...

Seeing him wipe his face with his sleeve is new to her.]

What happened to you?

[She backtracks, slowly resting a hand on his shoulder with a concerned look.]

[tofus]

[School is starting to become something of a mixed bag for Rise. She's clearly good at some things and not good at others, but the encouragement of the staff does push her to go forward and learn more. And that's not a bad thing.

Which is why she's going around the library at this hour, picking up a few books on history and math. Hopefully, they'll help out a bit.

But when she passes by one row of bookshelves and sees a familiar head of hair and stops. When she sees him wiping his face, that's when she starts getting concerned and approaches quietly.]

Slaine-kun? What's wrong?
