[Now he's just going to stare at Tyr and sputter for a second. What is this craziness.]

Y-Young Master, what do you mean? Time s-stopping? Riou? Please tell me you're being serious here!

[ He should have expected this. ]

I'm not joking around, Gremio. [ For once! ]

Listen, this place is part of another world... But even though time passes here, when we return home, it'll be like nothing happened... That's probably why you didn't notice I was missing.

[This just isn't something Gremio can wrap his head around so easily, as much as he trusts Tyr (usually).]

I would never fail to notice your absence, Young Master! ...Oh, this has to be a very strange dream! Th-there's no other way...

I know you wouldn't-- You have to relax, though.

[ Should probably be getting close now. Tyr points out building ten. ] This is where we're staying for now.

["Relax" probably isn't in Gremio's dictionary...but for now, he's surprised by the sheer size of the apartment building.]

Here? Goodness, this is quite the castle...How many people are here? [How much housekeeping is he going to be doing?]

I think they call it an apartment building; it's not quite a castle... A lot of people live here.

But there's just Luc, Riou, and us living in our apartment, though. [ Yes, Tyr has decided for himself that Gremio are staying with them. B| ]

An apartment building...It certainly looks like it could hold your entire army without any problem.

Young Master, may I ask--who is this Riou you keep mentioning? Is he one of your recruits I haven't met yet? [As if there was any doubt he'd leave Tyr alone! :<]

... [ Army, recruits, doesn't remember Riou? ...Tyr gets the idea, but he doesn't answer until he opens the door for Gremio to enter. ~~And kicks off his shoes for the house slippers.~~ ]

There are more aspects about this place I need to explain to you before we get to that... But let's get you warmed up. Take a seat and I'll get you a blanket.

[He has the almost overwhelming urge to tell Tyr not to worry about him, but he's still a little stunned, so he does as he's told.]

A-ah...Yes, of course. ...Young Master, have you been looking after this place yourself?

[ Dang right Gremio. >:| ]

Not quite. Luc and Riou had been looking after it with me... [ Grabbing the quilt from his bed and bringing it over to Gremio. Just sit her and be warm. ] There was another boy that was with us that took care of it better, but he a bit over a month ago...

[He accepts the quilt and puts it around his shoulders, expecting to warm up in a few minutes...]

O-over a month...I can't believe you've really been here that long. It feels like I was only just speaking with you...

[ Aww, Gremio. Saying that puts a wistful smile on his face. Tyr will scoot right next to him when he's done playing mum. Which means just putting the kettle on before going to sit beside him. ]

Does it? And all this time I was thought you were going to be worried about me being late for dinner...

[Aw. With that, Gremio smiles warmly right back...but there's something more in his expression too, something both concerned and relieved. Some of the exact details of his last moments are hazy, but the overall memory is still quite fresh in his mind.]

I would be worried, however...Young Master, my only true desire is for you to always be safe. For that, I'm glad.

[ While Tyr is assuming this is after he was revived still. Tyr continues to smile, is only because Tyr is glad Gremio didn't arrive while he was still recovering and bedridden. ]

I'm safe. You... [ should know you don't have to worry about that, but Tyr doesn't say that. ] You're here now, so you can make sure of that yourself.

[Poor Tyr, though Gremio would certainly have something to freak out about if he saw those wounds.]

I'm relieved to hear that. [And to have the chance to see him again.] O-oh, yes! Young Master, have you been eating well? You're looking a little thin...

[ Well, he can always find out about them sometime.;; But for how, it's long sleeves and high collars. ]

Come on, Gremio... Are you looking for an excuse to make us dinner tonight?

[About the time when Tyr finds out Gremio's still dead? :(]

Of course not. I never need an excuse, Young Master!

[ Is that when they decide to take a bath together for oldtimes' sake? ]

Then I look forward to it. [ And now he'll get up to actually brew the tea. Still talking, though. ] Though if you want to relax, I can treat you today.

[Maybe it is! Though they'd need a bigger bath...]

N-nonsense, Young Master! There is no need to trouble yourself over such a thing. I have a new stew recipe I did not have the chance to try, so allow me to prepare it for you. In the meantime, you can tell me more about this strange place.

[ Yeeeah. Even if it was one of those two person baths, they'd probably think the bath is cramped. ]

Haha, all right. I can't wait to try this new stew of yours. [ We better have everything for it!! ]

[ He brings over two cups for the two of them. What did Gremio like in his tea again? Tyr doesn't remember. ...Hope you like your tea as sweet as Tyrs, Gremio. ] Anyway, about what I was going to say... The way time works here is strange.

[Much as Gremio doesn't have much concept of personal space, the bath is an exception.;;]

[He thanks Tyr for the tea, takes a sip--ah, now that's nice and warm! And he doesn't mind it sweet.] You said...ah, s-something like that before, yes?

[ Yeeeah, same for Tyr. Maybe if they get an upgrade (lol level up the apartment), the bath will be better! ]

[ Sip sip, delicious tea. This will warm them up! ] Yeah... Sometimes, people are from the past and the future... And that's probably why you don't remember Riou.

[Yeah, he needs to recruit more people!]

[And at this point, he almost drops his teacup.] W-wha--H-h-how is that possible?

[ Yeah! He can do it!! ...Actually, Riou should. ]

[ ...Maybe he should have given him the drink after talking. Tyr shakes his head. ] I don't know. There are actually... a lot of things here that shouldn't be possible.

[Ah, yes. Tyr retired from being main character!]

[He won't go picking it up again just yet in case Tyr surprises him with something else...] A-ah...Y-yes, I suppose so. [His being here is proof of that, isn't it?]

Before you came to get me, Luc said a magic spell teleported us here. Did the same thing happen to you?
