Geddoe returns

[trueltning_fury]

[Who's missed out on lots of things? This guy has missed out on a lot of things. He's been away, actually, roaming the countryside on certain errands of his own that he isn't likely to talk much about. Hunting and treasure-gathering, sure, but also more clandestine things that are totally classified, totally.

Geddoe wanders back into the castle grounds around sunset, aware that he's missed the festival in Iksay, among other things. But the castle looks quiet, things don't seem at all out of place here. Just the way he likes it. Niiiiice and quiet...]

...hope they didn't give my room away while I was gone.

[ A light-headed Duke enters the castle grounds after just arriving from the festival. One look at him would tell you that he partied a little too hard with his liquor. ]

WELL, if it isn't the MAN of the HOUR! Finally decided to show your face, hey?

[trueltning_fury]

[Loud, Duke. Geez. Geddoe stops in his tracks, almost cringing in place]

...oh hell.

[duke_of_hazard]

Why, Geddoe, try to contain your excitement. You know, I almost started to think that you're actively avoiding me!

[trueltning_fury]

Gee, whatever would have given you that idea.

[so very dry and deadpan. He turns to regard his fellow captain, eyeing him a bit.]

Duke.

[duke_of_hazard]

[ Returning the glare to his rival. ]

Perhaps you fear your luck may have finally run out? Though, one would think you'd pick a less obvious place to hide from me.

[trueltning_fury]

I'm not hiding from you.

Unless there's a reason you came looking for me, here?

[belfar_agent]

[ Feeling slightly sick from all that drinking at the festival, she just nods to Geddoe and trudges past for a moment until she stops and looks back again. ]

...I think I know you?

[trueltning_fury]

Mmm?

[it's been a while, he doesn't remember who he all met...lo those weeks ago]

[belfar_agent]

You're that man from the tavern...

[ It occurred to her that she didn't notice he wasn't around until now - what a suspicious person! ]

[trueltning_fury]

[ah yes. That's right. He nods]

I've been known to be found there, yes.

[aloof_savant]

Why, Geddoe, thanks for minding the castle while we were gone! Did you remember to feed the dogs?

[trueltning_fury]

...gone? Where were you?

[aloof_savant]

At the Iksay Harvest Festival, of course. You didn't get an invite to the party? How awkward.

[trueltning_fury]

I'm not much interested in Iksay's festivals.

Good to hear they're doing well, though.

[aloof_savant]

Yes, war can be quite dreadful to the innocent, but they managed to bounce back just fine.

And how have you been doing?

[what_a_pain]

[Hey, it's that guy he watched before!]

...

Hey there, pal. Never introduced myself before, but you know.. [Maybe he was intimidated by Geddoe's appearance before. He won't say it though.]

[trueltning_fury]

[eyebrow raise] Hm. And you still haven't.

[fine, he'll go first...] Geddoe, captain of the 12th unit of the Southern Frontier Defense Force.

[what_a_pain]

Shigure.

Wait, you're Geddoe?

[trueltning_fury]

Yes. Why?

[what_a_pain]

I'm supposed to give you a message. Ok, what did he want me to say again...?

[charming_chiketsu]

[Beaming very much with delight at the sight of him.]

Geddoe. It's been a while. ♥

[trueltning_fury]

[well well well...]

Jeane. When did you get here?

[charming_chiketsu]

I arrived at the beginning of the month.

Where have you been? Hm?

[trueltning_fury]

Oh, out and about. The hunting on Mt. Heitou is pretty good this time of year.

[charming_chiketsu]

You were wandering around that old mountain? I suppose it's nice for more solitary types like yourself.

Where's the rest of your friends?
