poly_chromatic | [Entry 45:] Lost in wonderland and fond memories

[Video:]
[The feed turns on to show Klarth resting against a tree, clearly exhausted from walking in circles for a couple of hours and running from certain creatures.]

Ah, that's it. I need a rest. Goodness, every which way I go is a completely new labyrinth. Which brings up the question, has anyone actually managed to find a way out of here?

[He slowly inhaled and then exhaled to catch his breath before pulling out some photos from his pouch, smiling to each one especially the last. One was of Tyr as a child, another of Rita dressed up as a princess, another of Tyr and Riou together as well as a rather endearing and rare photo of Toph. The only picture that he found that was directly relevant to him was this photo of Mirald. As if it was meant to fall into his lap that day. The summoner sheepishly smiled almost embarrassed that he's asking this as he addressed his viewers again.

Perhaps there may be more photos of her.]

Ah.. You know... I've given it a bit of a thought and it wouldn't be so bad to hold onto a few of these after all. If there are still any photos around of me that you've found, please let me know. I would appreciate it greatly.

[ooc; Backdated to the 24th for the curse! Also, feel free to claim any of his photos from here! Open Action to anyone else lost in the maze!]

Nah, I didn't say anything pertaining to that. Simply how I trusted you were all right and to respect your privacy.

...Thanks.

[Klarth is such a bro. Tyr pauses for a moment, then reachs for something off-screen.]

Anyway, I think I found something of yours the other day...

[He warmly smiled before he raised his brows.]

Ah, did you? Mind if I see it?

[ He holds up the picture. It clearly shows a ~~young~~ younger Klarth sitting on a hill alongside two other people Tyr doesn't recognise. ]

That's you, right?

[His eyes widened instantly as he stared at the picture for a good minute. Of course, he remembered that very moment as if it were yesterday. He softly sighed with a warm smile.]

Oh, yeah... that's right. That's me when I was eighteen. Brings back memories.

Looks like they were good ones...

[ He looks at the picture again himself before setting it aside. ]

I'll give it to you next time I see you.

They certainly were...

[A slight and brief pained look came to his eyes as he thought of his prof however. He quickly managed a smile.]

I appreciate it. Did you want yours?

[ He shakes his head, a small smile still on his face. ]

Nah, you can keep them... I have pictures of my own...

[ And he puts up a picture that actually is on his device as a file: Himself, and Ted sitting at a table together while Gremio serves them stew. ]

I found this one last year.

Thanks. I'm rather fond of these to be honest.

[He glanced towards his picture.]

Ah, one of Ted and Gremio. Ha ha, this has happened before hasn't it? Finally, something good that's come of all these curses.

Haha, yeah. I really like this one...

[ He takes it away to show his face again. ]

I figured you'd want to keep one with Gremio and Riou at least...

[He looked at the photo he had of Gremio again.]

Aa, I've much to thank Gremio after all. I'd like to remember him through something.

[He looked at the one with Riou.]

When was this?

He might come back again...

[ It was always sad to lose a friend after all...

At the mention of the other picture- ]

Ah-

I'm not sure... I think...it was when we were about to take Rockaxe together...

I wouldn't bring it up to Riou.

[Though did he truly wish it? Klarth had to wonder.]

Rockaxe? [A sensitive subject, he could understand that.]

I see. Well noted. I'll be sure to watch myself in that case.

[ Considering Tyr doesn't want to leave and Gremio would always want to be at his side, yes.

He's glad Klarth understands. ]

...Anyway, should I drop by your place...or that tree? I could bring you something to eat.

[He weakly chuckled and sighed.]

Ah, as much as I would appreciate that, I'm afraid I'm stuck here till midnight. I've gotten myself stuck in a maze of sort.

...Then you'll need to come here for me to treat you when you can get out.

I'll gladly take the offer. Frankly, I haven't eaten since this morning. I'll also need to stop by to pick up that picture anyhow.

I'll have it waiting for you along with a good meal. I wish there weren't so many curses like this...

I'll look forward to it.

[He was right. If there was some way to lessen the curses, this place wouldn't nearly be as bad as it was now. His smile faltered a bit in deep thought as he softly answered.]

Yeah...

[ That didn't leave him feeling good. ]

... How are you doing in there?

[He notices the uneasiness and offers a smile to reassure.]

Don't worry. It's nothing I can't handle.

[ Tyr tried to return it a little. ]

I know. Just have to hang in there.

[He gave an affirmative nod.]

I'll see you soon.

You better.

Aa.

[And turned off the device to find a better hiding spot.]
