third pact ❖ {across the ocean}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Continuing the trend, Emil appears and shakes the sand off his dark clothes. They seem to be charmed against the elements, though, so it's not too much of a struggle. (He's still kind of itchy.)

After that's finished, he pours himself a glass of juice from the kitchenette, sits at the island, and pulls out a scroll. It's the beginnings of a map. With some frustration, he pencils in their new coordinates and writes in a new town name somewhere up the coast.

'Iselia.'

He's clearly lost in his thoughts, not all happy ones, and may or may not notice any guests in the kitchen area.]

{Dante is looking on with interest}

A cartographer?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil jumps.]

N... no, not really. Just a traveler.

[di-persona.livejournal.com]

With an unfinished map? That seems a bit dangerous.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I have a guide with me. And besides, I can use this to keep track of where we've gone.

[di-persona.livejournal.com]

Then this...'Iselia' doesn't seem like it's to your liking.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

W... what makes you say that?

[lamb_of_gold]

Take care not to lose yourself too deeply in ill-boding thoughts, Emil.

[JUMPS]

M-Mu! Um... [He scratches at the back of his head. CAUGHT.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Hello.

What troubles you?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Hey...

[He looks guilty and sips his juice, then sets it down again.]

I don't get something. How is it that... when people are faced with proof that someone they know did something really bad, they can just deny it?

[lamb_of_gold]

I would imagine it's because, in their heart of hearts, they hold that person in such high regard they find it hard to face evidence of otherwise.

[Sits down next to Emil at the island.]

Doing some exploring?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He perks up when Wyatt appears.] Yeah. I'm traveling.

[blessedtwice.livejournal.com]

[Smiles warmly] Find anyplace exciting?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

I think I've had enough excitement for a while...

[usagipino]

[Here, have a Pino (sans bunny suit).]

What are you doing?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Bunny girl! Emil startles a bit.] Waahh! I'm... making a map.

[usagipino]

Like Sokka! You're drawing? Can Pino help?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

I-it's not like that! It's so that I can keep track of where we've gone.

[usagipino]

Mm! A map! Vince uses maps. Sokka draws them! Can Pino help? Can I?

[And there is a derp wandering around! It is mildly interested.]

What're you doing?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Derp, meet derp! Both equally androgyneous to boot. Emil looks up and blinks at Haseo. He unconsciously pulls the map a little closer.]

Um. Keeping track of where we're going, that's all.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Hello, derp! Don't worry, she's not gonna pry; just passing curiosity and all that.]

Oh, I see. On a journey, I take it?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Of course.]

Yeah. Are you a traveler, too?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Not really. I've gone outside of town a lot of times, and Mac Anu's a pretty big place, but beyond that... [A shrug.] Unless you count going here as traveling, of course.
