[using his newly reactivated network login, Kit authenticates into the network for the first time since his return to Aifaran. He's sitting in his small dormitory room at the Dreaming Bridge, leaning against his desk and looking distracted.]
Hey. [pause,] So, looks like I'm back.
[and lots of familiar faces, once sources of comfort, are gone.]
...this might be a tall order, but um. [Whatever question he's sitting on, it looks like he dreads hearing the answer.] Don't suppose anyone here has seen Flekk? He's small--about nug-size, [he makes general size estimate with his hands that ought to indicate that whoever, or whatever, Flekk is, he probably isn't a person,] brown spots, one of his wings is a little lame. He's a little timid of strangers, so I don't know if anyone was able to grab him after I-- [another pause.] ...well, you know.
[he scratches the bridge of his nose and folds his arms over his chest.] Anyway, if you've seen him, just drop me a line. Sure would like to have him back.

It's been a minute or several, that's for sure. How've you been?
[as for Flekk,] just keep an eye out for him, if you can.
[video]
And speaking of that... quite a bit has happened here. I imagine you've probably seen some of the damage inflicted from the massive storm we suffered three months ago. Or the strange trees that it left behind.

[Already his broad grin is fading to something more pensive and troubled; it had of course been too much to hope for that his return to Aifaran would be met with a period of relative calm and quiet.] Seems like this place is always on the cusp of coming apart at the seams, doesn't it?
video;
There has been quite a bit of unstable magical activity. Given what it's said to be like outside of the barrier, is it any wonder?
video;
I never saw the outside of the barrier. I know that Rutile has, but-- [there he goes quiet, looking askance with a grimace.] ...they're gone too, aren't they?
video;
You also aren't the first to return back here after an absence. I'm starting to wonder if the Dreaming has a tighter grip on some of us than it does on others.

still,]
Probably better for them to have gone back anyhow. If you've got someplace to go home to, someplace you miss, I can't imagine anyone would prefer being away from it.
