( now what on earth was happening? the whole day had been strange- from her ferret-sized furret to the constant teleportations- it was impossible to make heads or tails of anything right now. but there is a voice that at least seems familiar when she rounds a corner- oh.

oh what the fresh hell. )

Dimitri?

[totallyokay]

[Gently, taking great care not to grab the little cow's hooves but instead move them away with the back of his hands, Dimitri looks over his shoulder to the sound of the voice. It's - not quite how he thinks it should be, but he's more than willing to assume he's mistaken.]

[After all, the prodigy who had entered Garreg Mach is a hard person to mistake for.]

Ah - it's Lysithea, isn't it? At least it seems that I am not alone, or with such... peculiar company.

[The bird in his hair briefly pauses to just blink at her. Which reminds him...]

I apologize that you had to see me in such a state.

[deathknightdestroyer]

( oh- oh goddess. he's- before the war, perhaps before even the flame emperor's attacks even began. and he doesn't even recognize his pokemon... crouching down beside gabby, lysithea gently starts petting her fur. poor things... )

Yes, you're correct. But there's nothing to apologize for. This realm is strange even on a good day... but never like this.

... What is it that you remember last, Dimitri?

[totallyokay]

A rather peculiar statement to match the question that follows it... But I can answer, regardless.

[Reaching up to his head, he tries to coax the bird stuck in his hair onto his hand instead.]

The new professor has just joined the school, along with Captain Jeralt. Have you heard of Byleth Eisner before, Lysithea?

[deathknightdestroyer]

( so he hasn't actually seen her in person then- or perhaps he'd realize she's no 15 year old slip of a girl anymore. )

I have. They're very impressive, and I'm sure they'll be a wonderful teacher.

Ah- the bird. Their kind likes to sit on people's heads. He isn't trying to bother you or anything.

[totallyokay]

[or maybe you're just still short, lysithea]

I... see. [Dimitri still tries to gently coax the bird out of his hair, just because, well, it's kind of a mess.] Do you know a lot about these creatures, Lysithea?

[deathknightdestroyer]

( she's coming for your knees irl james )

A bit. Not as much as some others- I've actually been here for quite some time now. The magic of this realm means that although I am here, it doesn't affect home, either. ... You will return safely to where you were, as if nothing changed at all.

( mostly, her goal is to comfort poor gabby at the moment, but it seems all three of them are Strugglin' at the moment. she's not the best with this sort of thing... )

I know it sounds strange. But I've come to accept that sometimes, things are just strange.

[totallyokay]

["This" realm, the magic of it, returning to where he was as if nothing changed... It's a lot to take in. If he hadn't experienced a great deal of peculiar things already, Dimitri would be a little skeptical of it. As it is...]

[Finally removing the bird from his hair so that it can settle on his shoulder, he glances down to the little cow.]

It sounds almost like a fairytale...

[Going into one realm, where the time moves differently compared to where one came...]

[deathknightdestroyer]

That's almost exactly it, honestly. But it isn't unkind. I hope that, regardless of the situation you've found yourself in, you can take something good from this.

( in truth, she had abandoned things like fairy tales long ago- so the comparison never truly hit her until dimitri said something. )

There's so many things here that simply don't exist back home. It's a wonder to take in.

[totallyokay]

Well, it is good to hear that at least this land is a wonderful place. I can only imagine how much worse this situation could be otherwise.

[Yes, going to another land, only for the worst to happen...]

[The cow is still sniffling. Dimitri tentatively offers his hand out to her, and there's a light clink of her hoof landing on the gauntlet.]

Is there a way to make this one happy...? She's been upset this entire time.

[deathknightdestroyer]

... She misses her father- or rather, the human who raised her from birth. My guess is that when you were brought here, you and he switched places.

( does she want to be the one to bring up time shenanigans? No. absolutely not. )

It's probably very overwhelming for her...

[totallyokay]

I see... I am sorry, little one. But until he returns, I swear I will look after you and keep you safe. It is a promise, on my family's name.

[Dimitri holds his arms out for the little cow, as sincere as he's always been. Gabby sniffles, still teary eyed, but doesn't waste any time in toddling forward until she's clinging to his chest. Gently, scared he'll hurt her, Dimitri wraps his arms around her until he can lift her up.]

[There. Well. It looks like he has a cow now. Dimitri looks to Lysithea.]

I am going to take a guess that cows are not native to ruins, are they?

[Gwin peers around his head.]

[deathknightdestroyer]

Not in the least- I wouldn't be surprised if this is her first encounter with such a place as well.

( but at least gabby seems to be doing slightly better. hopefully when everything returns to normal, she'll get some treats to make up for the magic going haywire like this. )

There's a forest a few cities away, near a farm where many of these cows are raised. You'd be more likely to find them there than anywhere else. I haven't encountered anything too aggressive here, however. The creatures in this realm are benevolent, they simply enjoy sparring with others. ( that said, if a pokemon tried to pick a fight while the babies were clearly distraught, a skorupi might just have to poison something. ) Do you want to try leaving, for now? There's a city not too far from here, but I'm not sure I trust the magic that's going haywire to let anyone travel peacefully.

[totallyokay]

Yes... I have noticed that things are dizzying and bizarre right now, to say the last.

[Still... Gently, he balances Gabby in his arms and looks around.]

Even if our route is changed, I believe it would be better for us if we at least tried. From what I can tell, if we are to suddenly appear elsewhere, that will happen if we stay still or not. Better to at least make the attempt.
