Welcome Euphemia!

You’ll be staying inAPARTMENT 362

You can keep your cats!

Enjoy your stay!

amidst the myriad of thoughts that swam through his mind every time he was brought to the city, there was always one that repeated itself just a bit more, that stood out. it was not the pressing guilt of being away from home and from Nunnally. it was not the worry that he might run into some undesirables from his world.

it was the overwhelming urge to find Euphemia.

without fail, Euphie had been in the city somewhere the last few times he’d been abducted. Suzaku knew this might not always be the case (the scientists could be so cruel), but he was always selfish--and foolish--enough to hold out hope. she was a ray of bright light in an otherwise dismal concrete jungle. she lifted his spirits and eased his worries.

he can never fully relax until he finds her. his eyes always dart around the crowds, searching and scanning, relentless in their pursuits. he does this day in and day out after realizing their previous place of stay was no longer there. there was no real way to find her, was there?

it is then that he realizes that there was.

he takes off in the right direction, long legs carrying him through the crowds with ease. determination drove his strides and he didn’t feel the fatigue even after many minutes passed without rest. it was getting late, the sun sinking down into the horizon by the time he reached the fountain in the park. the place where he had proposed. his chest rose and fell heavily, but he remained focused until he spotted her.

she was sitting on the fountains edge with her fingers dipped in the water, watching the ripples. the dim light reflected off the water and shone on her skin, illuminating her as if to draw his eyes to her immediately. Suzaku breathed a deep sigh of relief and spoke her name aloud for what felt like the first time in ages.

     the woman was dazed to say the least;  not that Ruby can really blame her. the portal had appeared in Vale but days ago, but she was the first one to stumble through it that the huntress did not recognize. now any who know her know that social skills are far from her prowess, but nothing in her past had prepared her for “HOW TO GREET SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE WHO JUST STUMBLED INTO YOUR LIFE THROUGH A BEAM OF LIGHT.”

        so an uncomfortable silence hovers between the two as she rocks from heel to toe, hands clasped behind her back. yep. any second now she would think of the perfect thing to say. 

              any second now.

                               ....okay, maybe she would have to settle.

welcome, euphemia!

your coming has registered the world of AREA 11 within the STARGATE. your access portal to the stargate will be located in THE SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE ZONE OF JAPAN.

happy world traveling!

“Is that… Sister Euphie?” 

      It was always too much to ask for just...a special day of peace. A content sleep had been roused by the beep of his phone, which he groggily grabbed from the nightstand. A message, peered at by squinted eyes still getting used to the light, cautioning him to stay inside for the day. Another one of the city's hi jinks, it seemed, and after last years happenings, Suzaku was apt to follow the advice, placing his phone next to him and shifting to press a kiss atop Euphie's head. Pulling the covers up around them just a bit more, he played with her hair gentle, eyes drooping once again.

⊰ The woman has a regal look to her that makes her appear out of place against the dull gray of the city. From her position on the the cold sidewalk it seems that she has somehow managed to have tripped on something and fallen over.
