Sixth Flame [Accidental Voice/Action]

[Even though Taichi has his own room and everything, he's been spending the last few days up in one of the trees in the forest keeping a watchful eye out, leaning back against the branches and looking down]

Daisuke...and Takeru too. They're both gone now.

I can't believe I let them disappear.

You're welcome. It's no trouble.

Mmm. We're all we have, so I suppose it's good in... some way. Though most of our companions are here as well.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

How many of you are there anyway?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Oh, from my world? Let me see... when we traveled, there were about eight of us together, though others have been brought in as well, and our group isn't entirely together, considering some were taken.

Currently, it's my brother and I, then about... [She takes a moment to count and consider] nine others, I suppose. Most of us have been here for a long while. Lloyd and Sheena were here the longest, I believe.

That...is still a lot of people here.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

It is. I forget how high the number is, sometimes.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Because everybody's doing their own thing?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

In a sense. I know I've been occupied with a lot of things as time went on here... but the others might be closer. But we are sure to keep track of each other, in any case.

That's good at least...[you've given him lots to think about Raine]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Yes, it's something.

[She smiles a little, and glances up to the sky for a moment, then lowers her gaze back toward him] It's getting late; I should probably head back to the village. Are you going to stay out here?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Probably. I need to figure some stuff out.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... All right, but don't stay too long that you forget dinner. Or to get some rest in a proper bed. Your sister needs you to keep up your strength, you know.

[Action]

[considers this for a moment, nodding in reply] Yeah, you're right. I'll go inside in a little bit.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Good. We'll talk again soon, all right?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Of course. Thanks, Raine.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

You're welcome, Taichi. Take care of yourself, now.

[She smiles again and carefully climbs back down.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I will. [waves and watches her climb down and disappear]
