[ maybe they run into each other outside some where? wherever they are, she's pausing for a moment as she sees him before giving him a smile and a wave. there's leech bite marks on her hands as well as black ink spelling out the word dragon across her arm. ]
Hello again! How have you been adjusting to everything here?
[ you picked one of my favorite rondo fanarts hehe he's so cute
ANYWAY HELLO we are in the new academy!!! anis might be wandering around when she hears the sound in the library of a ladder moving, followed by a loud - ]
anis is living in the academy and just gushing over all the things when she heard the clamor. she's going to jog over there and reach for her mana blade when she peeks in. ]
Rondo? Is everything okay? [ did a monster attack? ]
[ the good news is, no monster! it's just rondo on his butt on the ground, with a bunch of books around him. he winces, a little, and then when he spots anis, he laughs a little and rubs the back of his neck... ]
Hello, Miss Anis...oof. I'm okay. Just - um, be careful if you climb on the ladders...? I think it threw me off.
[ "surely it won't be worse than last week" i said. a fool. a jester
anyway!!! rondo sure is in the forest still. he's just sitting by the gravestone, curled up in a ball with his head in his knees, arms folded across them. did he ever even leave? hard to say.
at any rate. if he has company he has not noticed it yet, but even from a distance it is like, blatantly obvious that his shoulders are shaking. ]
[ he's not unresponsive to this at all - he's not even really surprised. a spider could come down and sweep him up and eat him and he probably wouldn't notice right now. dimly, he recognizes what's happening a few seconds late, and sucks in a breath.
when he lifts his head, he is clearly crying, and has been for a while, but he tries to - tries to suck it up, a little, and unwinds his arm from around his knees to wrap his arm around anis and pull her in for a better hug.
(try not to cry too much, alright, master ravus? you're the man of the house now. you have to be strong, alright? she needs you.) ]
I'm so sorry, Miss Anis, I... I know you really cared for her, too.
[ his voice is thick with tears, and he rests his cheek against anis' head, trying to get himself into some semblance of together, even if he just feels like falling apart. he has to be strong. ]
Another strange week, I suppose... these curses are a bit odd.
[ animal crossing sweat drop emoji. he doesn't seem too bothered by it, though. probably because he is always barking just usually it's metaphorical. ]
This didn't turn out too badly, right? [ gesturing at the library! ] It's not as big, but it's something.
[ surprise this was his doing. he looks a little wistful as he says it, pressing one hand to the side of the shelf. ]
... She told me last week, that she wanted to build a bookstore if she got to leave Prehevil, because they were places of solace and escape for her in dark times. We started to plan to create a library together, last week, but...
[ but. well. he doesn't have to finish, right? his thoughts reflect it - I wish we could have. but he doesn't say it, just smiling, instead. ]
.... I wanted to make sure I did it anyway, in her honor. [ and then, with a dip of his head: ] If you have anything you would like to contribute, of course, please feel free to do so. Thank you very much, Miss Anis.
rondo is out and about and talking to everyone he possibly can on this fine wednesday. anis can find him out by the library! he can't touch anything but he's looking at the condition its in, taking a very short break from being social.
