Is there a reason the village was empty the other day? [Everyone keeps talking about a "missing day", but that's not an answer. ...not that he expects a good one.] And something else— Where do you go when you want to get away from someone?

[He doesn't bother filtering that last part. Why bother? If he wants to ragequit his house, then dammit, he will.

Kind of like today. In order to get away from the general annoyance that is his house, he is reading quietly in the tea shop. Surely no one would expect to find him there, right?!]

I know the feeling, friend.

But I don't know your idiots, so I'm afraid I can't help you with the right kind of deception for your particular situation.

[voice]

[holyknights]

It's all right. I'll figure something out. I just need some peace and quiet.

[Not even a lot of it! Just a little.]

[voice]

[its_storytime]

Well then, I wish you luck!

[voice]

[holyknights]

Thanks. I'll probably need it.

Is there anyone you've had to avoid here?

[voice]

[its_storytime]

Not here! [He's the sociable sort!]

[voice]

[holyknights]

You're lucky, then.

[Or maybe unlucky. The only reason Elliot had anyone to avoid was because he had people from home here.]
