ϡ - chapter fifteen; not so normal return [action]

[ There is a point in one's life that you sometimes become too accustomed to notice anything wrong. This instance is only amplified by the person being absentminded. Said person being Helios is quite capable at being an absentminded derp. Safe to say he, or maybe I should say she, is back. If you are by the forest today you will get a lovely woman’s scream radiating from none other than a ~~hot~~ startled blonde haired woman. She looks absolutely mortified and is currently wearing a beautiful yellow sundress with matching white open toed heels. She’s got a bit of a confused look and her wings, still the same emerald green and yellow, flutter a little as she moves about the trees almost with some stealth only…the poor thing is Helios after all so tripping on an uprooted tree root sends her falling forward, catching herself on a nearby tree. ]

I-I can’t believe this. Of all the things they would do. It could be worse I suppose. Oh dear I just…ah which way was the town again?

[ She’ll be stumbling along out of the woods and into an clearing that’s almost familiar. A huff escapes parted lips. ] Of all the places to put me. Humph you would think they have some common courtesy—[She doesn’t finish because yeah that heel decides to snap and she almost goes down again. ] Ah—oh my I think the heel broke. [She's just frowning looking at it in dismay. It is just not Helios's day today. Barefoot it is. ] How do they ever walk in these things? [ She will be hurriedly moving towards the shelter of a building not really wanting to encounter anyone like this of all things. She’s definitely acting strange as she looks down once more face going pale as she does so. ]

Ev-everything will be fine. Haha yes this isn’t so bad. [ She doesn't sound very convinced but you know it's not everyday you wake up as a woman. Unless you're like starring in the Hot Chick or something. Don't mind her mumbling to herself though and now walking barefoot, yup. She's just going as fast as possible to Community Housing Seven and lock herself in her room until everything goes back to normal. You are free to prohibit her as much as you like to making it to that destination. ]

( ooc; Small hiatus is over~ I will be tagging back with

magicboobs Have fun making Heli...as feel awkward. ): Backdated to this afternoon. )

[ Oh Frederic you are not the first person she wanted to see today. But she will just uh stammer and nod looking at that food you're carrying. She is somewhat hungry now that she's actually seen it. ] Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't...paying attention. Yes I'm fine, perfectly fine. No need to apologize.

[Looking closer at the woman, he notices that her eyes and they seem oddly familiar to him. Her speech also seems very familiar to him as well, but he can't put his finger on it as to who she is.]

Please excuse me for asking this, but have we met before?

Huh? I-I don't think we have. [ Just biting her lip and looking away. Oh how awkward this is. She'll shift in her position sighing a bit. She hates to lie but really this is ever so embarrassing so she'd rather not divulge who she is just yet. ]

[He looks down at her feet and notices her shoes are broke, with a small face of shock he begins to worry for this poor woman. After all, she does look tired and hungry on top of having broken shoes.]

Please allow me to escort you to my apartment where you can rest, you look rather tired and hungry. It's the least I can do.

[ Her eyes go wide, well at least she'll get back to the apartment right? You're such a gentleman Frederic. She smiles and nods. Perhaps once she has this whole business sorted she'll actually tell him who she is. ] Always the gentleman, hm? [ Teasing what. She didn't mean to say that. Oh god. ] Ah--I mean. I'd appreciate that, thank you.

[With a smile, Frederic hands his small bag of food to the lady and then bows a little to her.]

You're most welcome and please excuse me for this.

[After he sees her securing the bag in her arms, he picks her up bridal style and begins walking with her in his arms back to the apartment.]

[ She takes it something of a perplexed look on her face. ]

Wh-what are you--? Ah! [ She just puts a hand over her mouth because oh my goodness this is not what she was expecting. Blushing now thanks. ] R-really there's no need for this! I can walk perfectly fine.

[He continues walking with her in his arms up the stairs and towards the apartment, his head shakes as he gives her a small smile.]

I can't allow you to walk, miss. Especially in the condition you're in.

Bu-but I'm perfectly fine, I assure you. [ Just awkward smile as she looks at you...in your arms. This event shall never be spoken of ever again. ]

[When he reaches the door with the woman in his arms, he sets her down and opens the door for her with a gentlemanly bow.]

It's always a custom where I'm from to allow the lady to enter first.

Oh--thank you. Proper and gentlemanly? [ She smirks and laughs a little as she enters. ] You must work your way into many a woman's heart, hm? [ Ahh stop saying things like that! ]

[Her remark makes him blush a little as he follows in after her and closes the door behind them.] Oh I hardly think of myself that way, miss. [He pauses then turns to her as he speaks again.] That reminds me, I never asked you for your name. I'm so sorry for not introducing myself either, that was very rude of me.

You shouldn't be so modest! [ She waves him off smiling. ] Oh yes how rude of me! It's...Hel--[ She pauses like there's something telling her to say Helios but she can't--because her mind won't let her. ] lena. Helena.

[The way Helena is acting and behaving, something about her suddenly reminded him of Helios. His mind began to wonder just when Helios would return from the Malnosso and with a soft sigh, he bows to Helena trying to smile for her.] Frederic Francois Chopin, a pleasure to meet you.

[ That's because it is-oh nevermind. Her eyes widen she sees your trying there and concern face is go as she touches your shoulder. ] Is everything alright? [ She blushes a little as she gives him a concerned look taking her hand away quickly and shaking her head. ] Oh forgive me Frederic. [ Do you see the mannerisms now? Calling you Frederic like that? ] I made you carry me up all those stairs. I feel dreadful about that. It's these...shoes. [ Just looks at them with slight dismay. ] I'm...not quite used to wearing them.

[His mind suddenly gets hit with a realization like being hit with a pure bolt of inspiration. With widen eyes, the man at last sees and hear the very person he was thinking about. His eyes begin showing sadness and he's trying his hardest not to cry.] I-It can't be...can it? You're not really a woman named Helena, are you? You're...my friend who I've missed. And I forgive you, I always will.

[ She's a bit stunned because she didn't mean to upset him. Actually she's quite confused as to what he means but something--is telling her that those words he's speaking are truth. She goes over to comfort again laying a hand on his shoulder. ] I'm sorry Frederic, I didn't me to upset you. You're I-I don't... [ She shakes her head. So confused right now. She was fine before but now...why is it so hard to think. ] Tea maybe. That's always a good way to calm someone down. I'll make some if you'd like? It's the least I could do for all the trouble I've caused you.

[He takes her hand into his and holds it tightly, a small smile forms on his lips as he takes her other hand as well. His eyes also form small droplets of tears as he smiles.] Helios, you did nothing wrong. Even if you can't remember your true name or what we had in terms of friendship, I'll still stay by your side and help you. [Still holding onto her hands, he helps her into the kitchen and holds out a chair for her.] I'll make the tea, you relax and try to feel better.

Yes but--you. [ She does let him bring her into the kitchen and she does take the seat offered to her. Shaking her head blonde hair swaying to and fro catching the light coming from the nearby window in the kitchen. She gives Frederic a sympathetic look and a small nod. ] I don't know what they did, but it's there something telling me that this is right. [ She frowns which turns into a small pout as she looks at her hands cupped in her lap now. ] I'm so sorry I can't think straight right now. Perhaps in a day or so? Maybe it will get better?

[He's trying his best to make the tea, but he's stumbling and dropping things between attempting to make the tea. Even with that though, he keeps trying to smile for her and not showing the pain he's inflicting on himself being so clumsy.] I-It's fine, Helios. Or should I call you Helena? [He's laughing a little nervously as he drops the teapot which thankfully didn't break since it was made of metal, but the top came off and spilled all over the floor.] Oh no! I spilled it, I'm so sorry. [He runs into the closet to get some towels and begins cleaning up the mess.]

[ She laughs rubbing her arm. ] Hel-Helena's fine for now. [ Was that the wrong thing to say to him? He does seem a bit sad by the fact but she...doesn't know if being called Helios is the right thing to do, since she's not technically him. She shakes her head and gets up off the chair going beside him and onto both knees. She places her hand on his shoulder. ] Frederic I do appreciate this, but--I'm more than capable of making some tea. You seem to be a bit flustered anyway. I really don't mind. [ She'll get up, dusting off her dress as she does so and takes the pot, whose contents are now on the floor, and begins to fill it up once again. ]

[He gets up from cleaning the floor and grips her hand as his head shakes rapidly.] No, I can't let you strain yourself. You need to get better and working won't do you any good. [He begins attempting to make the tea again with shaking hands, his eyes trying to watch her at the same time to make sure she doesn't get too sick or worse. He tries pouring some tea into a plastic cup for her, but drops it.] O-Oh dear, I dropped it! H-How clumsy of me. [He leans down and tries laughing, but it sounds nervous and a bit sad.]

[ She huffs arms crossing over her chest. ] But really I'm perfectly fin- [ Oh there's a slight dizzy spell and she steadies herself on the counter. ] We're both doing quite bad right now aren't we? [ She laughs behind one hand. ]

You're not all right Frederic, perhaps we should just both sit and calm down first, hm?

[He sighs and nods at her.] P-Perhaps we should. [Getting up from his spot on the floor, he takes a hold of her hand, gripping it firmly and doesn't let go even for a moment.] He-Helena... [He slips in a small puddle of the remaining boiled water and lands on top of her with a deep blush covering his face.] O-Oh goodness! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

[ She lets out a rather loud yelp as she goes down with him. She hits the floor with a loud thud a small moan escaping her lips. Her eyes open to find...well to find Frederic on top of her, of all things. She looks completely embarrassed though, given the current position. ] Ah! Fre-Frederic! Uh, oh! Are--are you alright?

[ Now you've got her blushing too, thanks. This is so very awkward. ]
