Tylendel nods, absorbs that for a bit, then shakes himself. "Breakfast?" 

Permalink

"Breakfast!" she says brightly, hopping up and twirling out of the room.

Savil is already awake, smiling and sipping tea. "It's good to see you two. Mardic went for a ride, Donni's still asleep. Lucy, how was your night?" 

Permalink

"Well, it turns out I'm social enough that I like singing to sleeping friends better than reading by myself, so, I've been having very good nights lately." 

Permalink

"You and I are very different people but I'm glad you like it! Van loves your singing." 

Permalink

"It'd be a strange world if we were all alike, I'm sure. And I really really like--being helpful."

Permalink

"That much, I've definitely noticed!" 

Mardic gets back and Donni emerges from her room and they eat breakfast together. Donni chatters away, but Mardic discreetly shushes her every time he notices Vanyel, who's one of the more introverted people in the room, starting to huddle up against Tylendel.

They're just clearing the table when there's a knock on the main door. "It's Lancir. May I come in?" 

Permalink

"Hi!" says Lucy, who had sort of assumed she would be going to him and not the other way around and is therefore somewhat surprised. "Uh, I think so," she says, her gaze darting to the other occupants of the room. 

Permalink

"I just wanted to say hello and see how everyone is doing," Lancir says. "And then Lucy and I need to speak." 

Permalink

"Yeah! Uh, I'm good. Wilbur is probably also good but since he didn't come out for breakfast I'm assuming he's feeling particularly introverted right now. Which isn't surprising, he doesn't like new people as much as I do and Donni is a little much, even if it's mostly a good much."

Donni sticks out her tongue. 

Permalink

"We're really glad Van is home," Mardic says politely. "And to have Tylendel, er, here, at all." 

Permalink

Lucy sticks her tongue back out at Donni and smiles when Mardic says they're glad to have Tylendel back. 

Permalink

"I concur entirely." Lancir sits down, and makes friendly conversation with them for a few minutes. Both Vanyel and Tylendel seem a bit more subdued around him, but they answer his questions willingly enough. 

Permalink

Lucy keeps a not-suspicious-but-careful eye on them in case Lancir says or does something unhelpful, and generally tries to make it clear through body language that she's not in a hurry but is ready whenever. 

Permalink

It doesn't seem like Lancir says anything actively unhelpful, but at some point Vanyel does start doing the cuddle-against-Tylendel thing that he does when he's tired, and Lancir notices and stands. "All right, Lucy, shall we?" 

Permalink

"Sure!" He gets points for noticing. "Where? I can ask Wilbur to leave our guest room for a bit if you'd rather not go all the way back to your office."

Permalink

"I'm not fussed either way. We could also just walk, if you'd like." He shuts the door behind them. 

Permalink

"Sure. I could use the sunlight." 

Permalink

They can take a walk alongside the river, then. It's very pretty. 

"So," Lancir says, once they're out on the path. "Savil said you wanted to speak with me, something related to Tylendel?" 

Permalink

"I want to know what I need to do in order to bring Staven back as soon as possible."

Permalink

"...Is there a reason you think this is particularly urgent?" 

Permalink

"They're twins. I'm a twin, and I don't wanna think about Wilbur being dead."

Permalink

"Fair enough. I ask because, well, Tylendel was very upset about his twin's death, and some pretty bad things almost happened. He seemed better after you, er, brought him back, but..." He trails off.
