[With all the changes going on this week so far, Simon would normally not be puzzled to awaken and find himself suddenly enormous (in comparison to his usual size, anyway). Instead, he peers around a bedroom he doesn't recognize, brows furrowing for a little while before his eyes abruptly widen. He kicks off the bed, grabbing his journal on the way and hurrying to the window to open it and peer outside.

Yep, familiar. Just as familiar as the blue wings he spots on his back. His journal opens immediately, and-]

Luceti- this is Luceti, isn't it? I'm back again...

[Every seven years, huh. How strange. ...Wait. Is he still...?]

...Aniki?

[There's only one person he knows who uses the word "aniki"...]

... Simon? Is that you?

[Bliiiiink blink. Blond kid, sort of familiar... now to put a name to the face...] Emil?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

That's right... you remember who I am.

[He sounds relieved.]

I knew they were turning some people into kids, but I didn't know they were making them older, too.

[Voice]

[....Wow. He is so short now. :|;;]

"Making them older"? I remember growing up, though. I was home until just now.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? I'm pretty sure I would've heard something if you'd gone back home...

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Maybe it happened too quickly for anyone to notice?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I dunno, I think Kamina would've noticed if you were gone, even if it was only for a little while.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Good point. I don't have another answer for you, though. All I have is my memories.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

So... how long was it for you? Back in your world, I mean.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

It's been seven years. [Quite the jump; no wonder you look so short. 8|]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Seven years?

[Hold on, his brain is trying to process that now.]

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's a pretty long time to be away, huh...

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry you had to be brought back here after you finally got to go home.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

It's alright. Anything I was needed for back home is done. If I stay here, maybe I'll be more helpful to everyone like this.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

You mean like helping everyone else get back home too, or defeating the Malnosso?

[The kid... almost sounds hopeful for a second here.]

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Both, of course! Doing the impossible is my specialty.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I think Kamina said something like that too.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. He's the one I got it from.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I bet he's happy to see you again all grown up like that, although I guess it would be kind of weird too. I don't know how I'd react if one of my friends from my world came back years older.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling he's not as surprised as anyone would expect him to be.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? Why not?

Re: [Voice]

[...Ahaha.] It's just a feeling.
