[Anise had wanted to get back home almost as soon as they beat Van, she really had, but there were enough things to take care of that the party's return trip had been delayed a couple of days.]
[Once the Albiore actually lands in Daath, she bounds off, running all the way up to her parents' apartment. There was a lot weighing on her mind, but she was too excited to see Florian (and her parents) to care at the moment. After practically jumping up the last few stairs, she swings open the door, the sound reverberating through the next three or four rooms.]
Papa! Mama! Florian! I'm ho---
[Only to stop mid-sentence, because of all the people she expected to see, the person laying in bed wasn't one of them.]
[Arietta hasn't had too much time to think about what she would say to Anise when she saw her again. Because of course she would -- she was here, sitting in Anise's parent's room and being cared for by them while she recovered. It was inevitable. But even if that weren't the case, she knew as long as she lived, she'd have to deal with Anise sooner or later.]
[Quickly, she sits up -- but just as quickly regrets it, a hand moving up to her stomach before she winces, falling back on one of her elbows.]
[There are a lot of things that are going through Anise's head as she tries to process this. Among other things: where's Florian? Where are her parents? How did Arietta survive? Is she dreaming? Did she die in the fight with Van? And with the flurry of questions also comes another flurry of emotions.]
[But the questions were probably more important at the moment. She makes sure she has a hand on Tokunaga in case it comes to a fight, but looking at Arietta, it didn't appear that she'd be getting up any time soon.]
/crashes in three days late
