Left behind...

[lilys_poise]

Who: Elise (one open for anyone and one closed prompt for people at Odin's temple)
What: Konzen has disappeared and Elise is on her own. She's gonna cry about it.
When: Mid June(still waiting on the exact date)
Where: On the way to and at Odin's temple
Warnings: Sad little cinnamon roll?

[Waking up in an empty space where her god's temple used to be is jarring all on it's own. But she's been here long enough to have heard the stories. She knows what this means.

She spends the first few minutes looking anyway. Calling out for Konzen, or Haru. Even though she knows better. She's on her own. An hour or so of sitting and feeling sorry for herself does precisely nothing to help. So now what?]

Open-

[Leo had said that if anything happened, his temple would always be open to her. So that's where she's heading. But her slow plodding steps are hardly like Elise's usual cheerful demeanor. Her eyes are downcast, and tears sometimes slip down into the fish bowl she's carrying. 

Perhaps someone should ask what's wrong? Or ask why she's carrying a fishbowl.]


Closed to people at Odin's temple-

[Knock knock. It's Elise and her pet fish. And she looks like she's about to cry.]

Hi....

[Her breath catches in what is very nearly a sob]

C-can I come in?

[Elise will take any kind of comfort she can get. She buries her face in his wing and sobs.][She swallows around the lump in her throat.]

But I st- still miss Konzen. I didn't get to say goodbye...

[redotiertwo]

[Welp. It's not quite what Davesprite was expecting the wing to be used for, but now that she's crying into it he's sure not taking it away. After another moment of seemingly working out how to handle it, he leans in a bit and rests a taloned hand on her shoulder.]

Yeah, people disappearing is shit like that. But looking after yourself has to be doing your old god some kind of solid if you both cared about each other that much. Hell, maybe you can try to make some sort of goodbye prayer to them.

[lilys_poise]

Goodbye prayer?

[She pulls her face away and wipes her sleeve across her eyes.]

Do... do you think he could still hear me?

[redotiertwo]

I mean, it's the principle of the thing. But yeah, with all the fuckery this place has to offer it'd be kind of shit if it didn't at least give you that chance for him to hear you say goodbye.

[Davesprite seems at least somewhat convinced of his own words there, and sounds it. He'd like to not believe this place is that screwed up.]

[lilys_poise]

[Elise is silent for a moment, considering this.]

I... I'm gonna try it. He's a god, so even if he went far away, he can probably still hear prayers.

[Or not. But it makes her feel better to think so. She musters up a small smile.]

Thanks.

[redotiertwo]

[Davesprite sure fucking hopes it makes her feel better, because the longer he sees this the more he's thinking that she really doesn't deserve this kind of upheaval at all.]

It's cool. [He opens his wings a bit from the curled position they'd been in up to now.] Are you good to get to where you're going on your own or do you need, like, an escort or some shit.

[lilys_poise]

[She shakes her head.]

I'll be okay. I think.... I think I feel a little better now.

[redotiertwo]

[Well, at least Davesprite helped somehow. Probably. Opening his wings more fully this time, he shifts back a bit from Elise.]

Okay, cool, I'll let you go wherever it is you're going. Hopefully you'll get some privacy to get your shit together again there.

[lilys_poise]

[She nods.]

Thanks for talking to me.

[It really did help. Later on she'll offer a prayer to Konzen. And maybe he'll hear it. She really hopes so.]

Bye.

[And she sets off again. But with far less sniffling.]

[redotiertwo]

Hey, you looked like you needed an orange feathery couch therapy session. [And while he may not have provided all of that, he provided at least two of those words.

As Elise says her farewell, Davesprite waves a taloned hand and turns away.]

See you around. [And with that, he flies back up into the skies to do whatever it is he'd been doing.]
