[Action; 747 Partridge; Saturday morning]

[Well, it's been a few days since the end of the event, when Lyon stormed up to her room and locked herself in out of sheer embarrassment.  She was droned for seemingly no reason about ten minutes after that, and Mayfield's been treated to the cheerful drone named Mismar bouncing around town in her place ever since - doing her hair up in curls, going on dates with the Prince's drone, and just generally having a nice relaxing time in the wonderful town of Mayfield.

...All of that comes to an abrupt end on Saturday morning, however, as a red beam of light tears through the roof of 747 Partridge Drive, bright enough and wide enough to be seen from anywhere in town.]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

...Hello, everyone.  It's Lyon.  I'm back.  How long has it been here?  And can anyone help repair a hole in a roof?

Why would I charge my friends for something like that?

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, it's my fault the roof has a hole in it, so I should be the one fixing it. Which is why if someone else does it for me, I should be compensating them for their time.

[not_so_great_wall]

But it's not the same if I offered.

You could feed me, though! [ ...you're better off paying her. ]

[heavenfang]

Well I guess you can wait to see if it does or doesn't.

[weiss_tank]

Miakis said! Maybe when you go home you can take the recipe with you.

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, I have been practicing my cooking lately.

[sparkling_eyes]

That's probably the best idea, I suppose, as long as the weather stays the same. I don't want to wake up under half a foot of snow in the morning.

[sparkling_eyes]

I bet Retso could do amazing things with it.

[weiss_tank]

Retso? Who's that? [It's not often he gets to hear about some more of the people from Falena.]

747 Partridge

[solarhussyalert]

[After the beam of light Lym runs inside and up the stairs, knocking on Lyon's door.]

Hello? Lyon? Are you Lyon again?

[heavenfang]

That bad, eh?

[not_so_great_wall]

That's good! I think I need to increase my variety of dishes, so maybe we can swap recipes? [ Hope she likes simple improvised Eastern dishes. ]

[commentboxtroll]

You didn't think she would be right about that? Still, kind of sucks to end up here again after a victory...

[sparkling_eyes]

Princess?

[...]

It's me. You can come in.

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, hearing about it and living it are two different things completely. But you're right about it being a shame to win the war just to end up back in Mayfield.

[sparkling_eyes]

[Actually, yes! Retso cooks things like that sometimes.]

I don't know how to make anything very fancy yet, but sure, I don't mind.

[not_so_great_wall]

You must have something from your world that they don't have in mine. Maybe. I guess we'll see!

[sparkling_eyes]

I'm still learning how to control my Rune. I ended up with it rather suddenly.

[sparkling_eyes]

He was the Prince's cook.

[sparkling_eyes]

Right! It'll be fun.

[commentboxtroll]

I'm from the future, Lyon. I could have confirmed what she'd said. [...considering he studies war.] Well, at least you aren't alone. If that's any comfort.

[Though he doubts it. Now excuse him as he flops back down on the couch.]

[sparkling_eyes]

It isn't that I didn't believe her. After all, I never stopped believing in the Prince, either. But it was always on my mind before. Coming here in the middle of everything was hard. I can't say I'm happy at all about being back, but at least this time I came from a more peaceful time.

[commentboxtroll]

With nothing more to worry about. I can see that. [He props himself back up on an elbow to look at her again.] So did you want to know how many children you and the Prince have after reconstruction or...?

[As the farthest along on the timeline, it's almost like a duty to make up shit.]

[sparkling_eyes]

[Okay, well, she's admitted her feelings for the Prince by this point in her own personal timeline, but she has not even gotten around to those sorts of considerations yet. So excuse Lyon while her brain derails completely over here.]

[commentboxtroll]

Is that abrupt silence a yes or a no?

Or maybe you'd care to hear about Queen Lymsleia's marriage to a pirate king from the Islands?
