[Marta is mid-pacing when she appears on the plane, hands clasped behind her back and head tilted upward as she loses herself in her own thoughts.]

Come on, Marta, think. There's got to be a way to show him...

[Emil appears on the Plane a moment later. He's also pacing, and looking at a small notebook in his palm, but when he notices Marta's talking to herself he puts it away.]

Hey, Marta... You're not mad because Genis doesn't like your cooking, are you?

No! I'm not mad! [Because that's convincing. She's stopped pacing, though.] I'm just thinking.

[He flinches and takes a step back.] O-okay! I believe you! [... Sigh. He pauses, then ventures a question.] Is it about that weird burning smell?

Hm? Oh. No, not exactly, but... [Well, hey, there's an idea... Maybe if Marta learned to cook — better than Raine at the very least...]

Oh... okay. [Emil plops down on the Milky Way and stifles a yawn.] We should rest here a bit before going back...

[ooc: Marta and Emil have been canonbumped to the beginning of Chapter 4. :D Feel free to bother the lovely couple.]

[He frowns a bit.]

Oh, well...maybe...have you been feeling all right, Emil?

[He has this little notebook in his hands, and he has no idea how he got it. Options: pretend nothing is wrong, or show it to the Doctor.]

Y-yeah, I feel fine.

[He tilts his head.]

Are you sure? Because, well, it could be a coincidence but just that thing you've got there. Oddly familiar.

[Emil looks down at the notebook.]

Oh, this! Um... I don't remember where I got it. Did you lose it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He pauses, thinking.]

It's mine, yeah. Do you mind if I have it back?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Sure! Um, I think I wrote in it a little bit by accident, so... feel free to tear that out.

[He holds it out for Ten to take.]

[He smiles and accepts it, tucking it into his vest for later inspection.]

That's what notepads are for, technically speaking. Notes.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Eheheh... sorry.

[Emil doesn't think any better of it.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Quite all right. We all have our off days, don't we? So! What have you and your friend there been up to?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[He smiles a bit.]

We've been... working on our journey, I guess. We managed to clear an obstruction in the Triet Ruins with some help from a monster, and then we got a Centurion core.

It was just in time, too. Lloyd came to get the core, but he ran away when he saw that we had his friends with us.
