[Action-— 341 Brady]
[Ky notices that his magic has been sealed as soon as he wakes up; that and the completely unfamiliar surroundings lead him to believe he’s been kidnapped. Why kidnappers would bother to change his clothes, though, was a mystery, as was why they would leave him unguarded and unrestrained. Even unarmed and without magic, it was foolish to assume he wouldn’t make trouble.]

[Like any good ex-cop, he’s up and out of the bed to assess the extent of the situation in no time.]

[Action-— around town]
[He’s wandering around trying to look like he’s not completely at a loss, though considering the way he stops and boggles at things like cars and telephone lines, he’s not doing a very good job. He also frowns to himself every time he sees a street sign, and seems to be looking for something specific. Help the poor guy out?]

[That's good enough for him, though, so he hurries towards her, ready for a meaningful reunion considering the last time he saw her--]

[--wow she shouldn't be carrying those groceries, how rude of him!]

Ah, let me carry those for you!

[former plans forgotten]

1/idk

[imperial_ray]

-Oh, those groceries?-

[imperial_ray]

-On the sidewalk, because Dizzy needs her hands to exaggerate her gasp.-

[imperial_ray]

-Though she has to do a small double take, because wow, his hair... It's gorgeous it's a bit longer than she remembers but...-

done

[imperial_ray]

Sir Ky!!

-And now her arms are occupied with hugging the man. Shame about those groceries, though.-

[kyrannical]

[he has a brief moment of insanity when he's worried about the groceries, but that all drops away when he hugs her back, a little firmer than was really necessary as if he needs to make sure she was there]

[after a second, he pulls back, keeping his hands on her shoulders as he looks her over- she's not even disintegrating!]

You're all right? Your systems are even here...

[imperial_ray]

Y-yes! I'm fine! -And happy as she had ever been in Mayfield.- I can't believe it's you...

[kyrannical]

I think that's my line. [He says it with a smile, but there's a hint of something more behind it, and he seems hesitant to let her go]

[but then something nudges against his foot and he remembers the groceries]

Ah, right, sorry! [and he bends down to try and collect what he can]

[imperial_ray]

O-oh! Right! -She kneels as well, gathering up what she can.-

How embarrassing...

[kyrannical]

No, no, it was my fault...

[and he pulls over the bag to dump some only slightly bruised food back into it, then glances up again]

You're really all right, then?

[imperial_ray]

Mm... As well as one can be here...

[kyrannical]

I've heard...

[he's almost afraid to ask, but he needs to know]

How... long has it been?

[imperial_ray]

... Since mid august of last year.

[kyrannical]

August?

[oh no here comes the guilt]

Dizzy, I-- I'm so sorry, I...

[imperial_ray]

Please... don't despair. I've not been alone here.

[kyrannical]

[annnd suddenly he's not despairing!]

Yes, I saw Sin earlier. If nothing else, at least you could be there for each other.

[imperial_ray]

Yes, it's... been a learning experience to say the least.

-And then it dawns on her.-

You don't sound shocked at all about Sin... so you must be from that same time.

[kyrannical]

From that... do you mean to say you aren't?

[imperial_ray]

I'm sorry... The last thing I recall in our own world is our dealings with Crowe...

[kyrannical]

There's no need to be sorry! It's just... it's been years....

[at least she didn't have to remember starting to disintegrate, but... with everything else that happened in the interim...]

...No wonder Sin was on edge. [or more than usual, anyway]

[imperial_ray]

... So it's true... You and I, we...

[kyrannical]

[he suddenly looks a little awkward and clears his throat a-ahem]

[imperial_ray]

-Awkward doesn't even begin to describe it. Look at that blush.-

[kyrannical]

--Ah, so, what's that?

[looks immensely distracted by something]

[anything]

[KY KISKE: SMOOTHEST MAN ALIVE]

[imperial_ray]

What's what? -LOOKING AROUND LIKE A DORK.-
