One caught my eye. It was of Shagrath, Wolfknight, Draylo and myself. I chuckled, remembering the trek through castle Oztroja for Red Mage artifact gear. And what of Wolfknight? So far, no one I had asked had seen him. I laid the image aside, dressed and headed out.
As I rounded the corner after leaving the residential district, I spied none other than Draylo himself!
Hey!! ^^ I found an old picture where I was getting Red Mage artifact gear in castle Oztroja and YOU are in it!!
He feigned shock and then grinned and nodded a ‘hello’ to me.
I knew I had heard of you before I asked you for aid that day in Aht Urhgan Whitegate! Also in the picture are Shagrath and Wolfnight. I think you...
I paused to tap my finger to the corner of my mouth in reflection before continuing.
Picked the lock and it weakened you, right? Do you remember that?
Sounds familiar... You still talk to them?
Well...
I blushed slightly… Really?! Still?! I clasped my hands behind my back and glanced at the ground a moment while turning the toe of my boot in the dirt.
Sha-chan married me... And then he... ; ; went to the far, far east.
This time Draylo’s shock was legitimate. I tried not to cry, but I could feel a tightness in my throat.
What about Wolfknight?
I pouted. Get it together!
I have no idea!
Me either.
We were talking after Sha-chan took his leave, but... Then one day poof he stopped coming around.
Yeah he just disappeared- With Chell.
Chell?
Tanoshii.
Oh... Wait- what? As in they went somewhere together?
I think so, they both disappeared together.
Oh no!
Again, my eyes began to brim over with tears.
...And here I had high hopes that perhaps Wolf had found some amazing female and maybe gone to marry in secret.
My next thought caused me to gasp. Draylo chuckled. Tears placated, I continued.
Unless...
I worked out my thought carefully, stepping closer to Draylo and shifting my eyes this way and that.
Well I heard from a friend that Tan... Well what I'm now wondering is… Do you suppose they did something unsavory and got arrrested? :s
Hmm... I don't think so.
; ; I hope Tanoshii didn't abduct Wolf! Why would they just VANISH like that? ; ;
I scrunched up my fingers and drew them to my chest.
I dunno. I'll be honest, I don't like Tanoshii. He has a very bad history. Before he was Tanoshii, he went by a different name, Chell, and he had a WHOLE lot of drama behind him.
Oh okay, I’m not fond of him either, I was trying to dance around that fact.
Haha. Yeah I don't know :/ I have no clue what happened to him.
I even told Wolf... He shouldn't hang ‘rrround with him, but he wouldn't listen! ; ; I'm smarter then I look…
I just know Tanoshii was doing some kind of mission every single day, Wolf started to be around only randomly. Then one day they both vanished.
Yes, Wolf only came around to do Campaign, or if I harassed him to help me with something hard...
I checked everywhere and didn't find them. So either they dropped off the so-called grid and changed names or they--- ran off from this realm together.
The way he said together insinuated something more then platonic friends.
I balled up my fists and shook my head “no” hard.
No no no!!! Wolf is STRAIGHT!
Er well. He isn't :x
I know Tan isn't.
Yeah.
I heard he tried to lure some under age boy.
Yeah he's really creepy. He got a hold of a picture of me once and then tried to harass and stalk me. I had to have my moogle put extra wards on my mog house for a long while because of him.
And I WARNED Wolf. And he didn’t listen…; ; oh my goddess-
I couldn’t contain my tears. Now I was worried and angry. Had he fallen into Tan’s evil clutches? Had Tan forced him to do something… Something UNSPEAKABLE?! Surely not… Big Brother Wolf was a very, very powerful Dragoon. Surely…
Draylo patted my shoulder as he continued.
Yeah I did, too. He lied to me at first. I asked him who Tanoshii was. He said it was just someone in his LS. Cause he got into some major trouble with the G.M. Instead of facing his crimes, he went into hiding, and he came back as that new identity.
Oh wait!!! Maybe we are in luck!!! Maybe Wolf is fine and dandy, but is laying low because Tan started stalking him?
Nah, I think they still talk.
Crap. >_<
They did everything together all the time.
Yeah I know.
I scowled. How many times had I asked what he was up to, hoping he might ask me to join only to be told that he was busy with Tan.
There has to be a way to find him… Perhaps if we wrote him a letter the Moogles could--
Well... We stopped being friends after I found out he was friends again with Tanoshii. We just kept arguing all the time, and I told him about Tanoshii and his ways, but he never listened and I felt lied to. So I don’t think I’m your best pick for trying to hunt him down, letter or otherwise.
I sulked… And also remembered…
... Sha was supposed to write to me and hasn't ; ; So maybe… I keep wondering if something happened to him and Wolf is afraid to tell---
My throat closed up and I couldn’t finish. I hic-upped a little and had to cover my eyes with my hands. Deep breath… deep breath… just breathe.
I’m sorry Kiamo…
Maybe you could… contact him on my behalf? Just say… that I’ve been… harassing you since I found a picture… of all of us together… and… and that I’m… flipping out …since… since he vanished.
Yeah... :/ so strange. I do remember it now.
Yeah?
Ya.
Draylo patted me on the head, awkwardly. An attempt to comfort me I suppose. Though it was kind of comical, which did help.
I think I remember you were in kind of a not so good mood :/ Or maybe impatient? ...or something... You did or said something to intimidate the crap out of me.
I dried my eyes and poked out my pink tongue at him.
:x Nah I was probably mad at Wolf. At first I thought you were Tanzel... or Chell/Tanoshii.
I sucked in a great gasp of air, stepped back a half-step and placed the palm of my hand on my chest.
ME?!?!?!?
Ya I didn't know you well XD remember?
Draylo closed the distance and playfully smacked me in the bicep.
I pursed my lips and twirled a loose tendril of hair with my finger.
; ; But I am an adorable and cute little mifra :3 AND!!! And a regular girl dang it!!! Not some boy hunting freakazoid!!!! >_<;;;
Draylo busted out in hearty laughter.
Why don’t you use the mogcel network to try and contact him?
I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest.
Nooo ; ; I can't.
Draylo clapped a hand to my shoulder and drew his other hand, clenched in a fist, to his chest like a salute.
You can do it! We must find the truth XD
He’ll just get cross with me!
Wonder if his friend knows what happened. Nyomi I think was her name.
Ohhh... I know *her*... Is she still around?
Her last purchase on AH was about two months ago.
I shook my head no.
Not her… I doubt she would help without expecting some huge sum of gil in return, or a fancy item…
Haha!
Who could find him for us? If he is in hiding, I don’t want to get him in trouble or anything…
Well there is one person who would be able to find out on the sly.
There is?
Aldo.
I drew in a breath. This actually seemed like a feasible idea. I met Draylo’s eyes and nodded.
I have to go to Jeuno anyway. Will you come with me to ask Aldo?
Okay.
