I've returned but none the wiser.

Not true. I've missed you.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Meg. *bows formally despite the instinct to hug her, unsure of his reception* I have missed you as well. I did not believe myself capable of homesickness.

(ooc: You're welcome! :D)

*hesitates at his formality before finally hugging him*

Where did you go?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*wraps his arms tightly around her, sighing* Everywhere. I was in Russia for a time. They plan a revolution soon but - *lets her go, stepping back* - perhaps that is a tale for another time.

[msellemeg.livejournal.com]

*is surprised* Russia? Whatever for?

[a-ghosts-son.livejournal.com]

Such is the way of ghosts, one would assume.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

That they are unwise, monsieur?

[a-ghosts-son.livejournal.com]

That they come and go with none the wiser, Monsieur.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

It is certainly an occupational hazard.

[a-ghosts-son.livejournal.com]

A hazard to whom, Monsieur?

[always-ariana.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Do you, mademoiselle? Do tell.

[always-ariana.livejournal.com]

It seems I've returned and not only am I not wiser-- all the things I thought I knew before aren't true any longer.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Then you have been granted a rare opportunity, mademoiselle. Not many people are blessed with second chances.

[always-ariana.livejournal.com]

I don't know. The world I left was frightening--but at least it was familiar. This world...no one is who they were when I left.

[agreencarnation.livejournal.com]

I know that feeling quite well myself..

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

I doubt that it is quite the same, monsieur. Each experience is unique after all.

[anothermoriarty.livejournal.com]

Quite. Myself as well.


OC: Yay!

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

You have found your own travels to be as frivolous as mine?

[anothermoriarty.livejournal.com]

Not frivolous.

Just...

I have high expectations, which are frequently disappointed.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Disappointed?

[vedran-avatar.livejournal.com]

I disagree. You're already wiser. You know that wherever you were didn't have what you were looking for. So... you're wiser.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

And if the search began in vain?

[vedran-avatar.livejournal.com]

You're still wiser. You didn't know it would be in vain when you left. Now you realize that what you were looking for wasn't there. No journey is in vain. It always has a lesson.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

You should not make presumptions, mademoiselle. I rarely do anything without exhausting all possibilities, including whether or not something should be undertaken at all.
