[A small sigh. All dictated.]

I'm back in the castle now. I got back yesterday. [She just took a day to lie around.] For at least two weeks, longer if I can help it. How is everyone? [Whimsically:] Hello, everyone who's new. My name's Rin. I hope you're having an all right time of things so far. Welcome to Paradisa.

[At the moment, the girl herself can be found stretched out on her back on the grass next to the duck pond with her arms folded under her head. Maybe she's cloudwatching, maybe she's napping, or maybe it's both?

There's a weird cactus-looking creature near her, kind of hidden in the other plants, swaying and making weird clunking noises to itself. Rin appears to be otherwise unaccompanied.]

[midget]

Back for a whole day, and didn't even bother to say hi? I'm hurt.

[ Yeah, Eva probably sensed Rin's presence before but didn't want to bother her as soon as she got back.

Also, judging by her tone, she's joking. Probably. ]

[payback]

I'm saying hi now! [Rolling over to get the journal now and hold it over her head.] Don't be mad. I spent most of it just lying around.

[midget]

I figured as much.

I was beginning to think you'd never come back to the castle.

Evangeline;

[payback]

... Yeah. I was starting to feel like that myself.

It got old being out there, let me tell you.

Rin;

[midget]

It won't kill you to drop by more often.

Dictated forever

[onlyanapple]

Look at you, back and apparently not dead.

[payback]

I think if I'd died, you'd probably have heard Legato gloating.

[onlyanapple]

And then I would have had to slap him.

[payback]

I'm touched, Crowley. You would do that for me?

[secondchances]

[It's a lovely time to go jogging around Paradisa, and it's time to pass by the duck pond! Have a sweaty Steph, complete with bouncy ponytail passing by.

... and then jogging backwards because she thought she saw someone she knew.]

Howdy!

[payback]

[Rin sits up a bit slowly, squinting at Steph and then smiling a little. She's a little too tired to be really effusive but she's happy to see her friend.]

Fancy meeting you out here.

[secondchances]

Is this the beginning of a romance movie and no one told me about it?

[payback]

Is this usually how romance movies start?

[spiritusaequitas]

Welcome back, Rin. How was th' trip back?

[he's trying to play it cool and make with the small talk before jumping right into Soooo I Talked To Galadriel]

... an' what's that sound?

[payback]

Quick and uneventful, just how I like it. [She sounds friendly, if a bit confused at the next bit - Erwien's weird noises are kind of background to her by now.] Er, I'm by the pond...

[spiritusaequitas]

Glad t' hear it, then. Cannae wait to get out there and have a look at it all for myself.

... Aye? Doesn' quite sound like anythin' I've ever heard that lives out at a pond. Just sayin'.

[payback]

You can go out and look when you like. Aradia and Maladict will be out there, I don't know if you know either of them. [And - a pause, hup hup.]

Wait. Um, do you mean Erwien?

written.

[mom_to_us_all]

You sound tired.

Are you hungry?

[payback]

[A bit of a delay before she replies; she has to realize that someone wrote something first. Then she dictates back.]

I bet I could eat something. Hi, Amaterasu.

[mom_to_us_all]

Me too! Where are you? I'll bring you something :3

[payback]

I'm by the pond! Let's share. I'll wait here?

[inafadingcrown]

[And with barely a sound, Galadriel is suddenly seated on the ground next to her. Elves are sneaky like that.

She doesn't even say anything, content to sit in silence for a bit, just enjoying Rin's company.]

[payback]

[Ah! With Alexstrasza's gift, Rin kind of feels her coming - enough that she only starts a little before she opens her eyes and smiles up at Galadriel.]

Hello.

[inafadingcrown]

Hello. [She smiles back, the kind of calm, easy smile that is more rare for her.]

It is good to see you so at ease.

[payback]

[Shifting over a bit to rest her head not on Galadriel's lap, but against her knee.]

I feel like there's a big weight off my shoulders... at least right now.
