Quest 236

[primrosella]

I wasn't just dreaming all the commotion--it really is them. They're really here! Oh, I thought it would be the end of last month, but this...this is even better.

Oh, hello, everyone! It's just lovely to see you all again! I do hope you all managed to dress warmly before coming here, since it's the winter season now. Or, well--it is for us, anyway, since I know time does seem to move differently from one place to another. And it was summer the last time you stopped by, wasn't it? So it's been quite some time now, since we all saw you last.

But you're here now, and that's what's important. And if you have, er, found yourself in a bit of a predicament with proper clothing and whatnot, there's a Welcome Center in the Square that I'm sure can be of some help with that. And do say hello to Penny while you're there!

Does this have something to do with that train? All the things we saw out the windows, the people trying to get in--and now this?

Oh, it's a good thing I saved all those leftovers. If anyone would like some--we just had Thanksgiving a few days ago, you see--there's plenty of cold turkey and cranberry sauce and rolls and things to snack on while you're here!

Sam? ...Blue? If...are you by any chance out there somewhere, too?


[OOC: Canonically, she's from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

...It's so different without you here, Blue.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, of course I am.

Oh, Rosella. I'm sorry.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I've just been so worried because I know you were going back to--well. I just...when Sam went home, I knew he was off to save the world, but you were...

[Silence.]

But I'm just glad to see you here, and well, and...and all of it. I really am.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't worry about me.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I can't help it, you know.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

I know.

So I can come over for pie?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! You can come over for pie and all the other leftovers and--even just to see me, besides. I saved a box of sour cherry candy for you, too, when I thought you might come at Halloween.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

You have stayed out of trouble, right?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Er. As much as I always do?

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

....I certainly hope someone's been taking care of you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I've been learning to use a sword now! Edmund's been teaching me how. And he and Peter have been so very nice to me, and I've been living with one of Sam's friends, a Miss Saya, so I'm not lonely, either.

Oh, and I've been taking good care of Snowdrop and Prince, and--that's right, I met another friend of yours! Amory, the one who works at the Blue Light. He's...er, very nice.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

He hasn't been nice to you, has he?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm...sure he's a wonderful person. Deep, deep down.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

If he's mean to you, you tell Peter.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Should I? I'd hate to bother Peter if he's busy. I've, er, bothered him enough as it is, really, what with looking out for me and all.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

You can tell Edmund, too. I just don't know him as well. Or Caspian.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that, then.

Oh! Oh, speaking of remembering, I just--Blue, my nose isn't too big, is it?

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

What?

No.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank goodness.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

Why would you ever ask that?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Because Edmund keeps saying I have a nose like a donkey's, and after a while of hearing it, you know...well, one starts to wonder a bit.

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

I think he's just teasing.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he is, but I don't want to have an enormous nose, either!

[noharlembeat.livejournal.com]

You don't.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You're certain?
