[So, here's Sol, fresh out of the Labyrinth. Physically, she looks perfectly fine. Her expression, on the other hand, is a mixture of distress and rage, and her hands at her sides are balled into fists and trembling. Clearly, she ran into something there that has left her more than a little shaken.]

[She doesn't seem to be aware that the Vine is broadcasting. For a long time, she doesn't speak or move at all but for the shaking of her hands. Then, abruptly, she hauls back and punches the nearest tree.]

Goddammit.

Sol... are you hurt?

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Not hurt. [Not physically, anyway.]

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

But you're...

You're shaking! You might be sick.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head, trying to calm the trembling of her hands.] I'm fine.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

You should see a healer, if we have one. Just to make sure.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

I'm fine!

[Sounding a little defensive there, Sol. She snaps it with more force than she really intended, and, because it's Rose, she feels a little bad for it. Still, she's not the apologizing sort.]

[Rose definitely looks upset over it. She remains calm, though she's frowning.]

If you insist. My apologies for pushing the subject.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

...Rose.

[She averts her eyes, feeling a bit sheepish. She's silent for a long moment, and then:]

Don't go into the Labyrinth.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

[Rose's sour look melts away after Sol says that. She nods.]

So that is why you're shaking.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

...Hn. I didn't say that.

[tsun tsun!]

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

[She giggles a little.]

True. You didn't. Still, what were you doing in the labyrinth?

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[Sol lets out a little 'tch' noise at that giggle, though it sounds a little huffy.]

Looking for the Queen.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

The Queen? Has she gone missing?

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Her underlings tossed her in.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

[Her face has become a little :O, but her hand's covering it up.]

Oh, my. What brought that on?

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

Her offer to let us leave.

[Sol, sounding bitter? Nah, of course not.]

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, yes. I do recall the Queen mentioning that. I guess she didn't keep her promise.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[Sol shakes her head, her expression darkening again.] Couldn't find her.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

She is the Queen. She probably knew a simple way out. Or is she still missing?

[Rose pauses for a moment.]

Why did you go after her?

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

As far as I know.

[The question surprises her, but it's not hard to answer at all.] I need to get home.

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[She frowns a little, and she knows exactly why.]

I see.

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[When Rose frowns, Sol's own eyebrows furrow.]

What's with the face?

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

It's all this talk about going home. I wish I had the same sentiment, but...

[She trails off, not wanting to go into detail.]

[video]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[Sol's not the most emotionally attuned person, but she can pick up on that easily enough.]

...You have your reasons.

[And that's all she'll say.]

[video]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

[Rose gives Sol a small nod.]

Grazie. I do hope you find your way home.
