Being reunited with her best friend and meeting a whole bunch of new people was just more exciting than anything to Estelle. Though things were understandably a bit awkward, since she'd not only fled the manor, but also freed a prisoner, but it did her soul good to see her nonetheless. There were so many things she had to tell Rita!

... but for the moment, everybody seemed to be outside exploring. Estelle had done her fair share of that earlier, and truth be told, she was rather tired, so she was in the hotel room, resting in one of the beds.

There were so many people to get to know now ... Estelle giggled, rolling onto her side and curling up a little, holding a pillow to her chest while her head rested on the other pillow of the bed.

She was excited. More excited than she had been in some time, despite all of the adventures she had been having.

She shook her head. "No. Rita usually stays in Belkend, and even if she did leave for somewhere else, my parents would never agree to it. No matter how much they trust Rita. The only reason they agreed to me going out of the manor to begin with was because the laboratory was still within the city."

"...wow." Yuri had to admit, he was a bit sorry for her -- really, being forced to be cooped up in a town like Belkned all her life, not even getting a glimpse of the world beyond such a city -- Yuri knew that he'd stagnate in that kind of spot. "Geez, that must've sucked, being caged up all your life."

"My parents just want the best for me ..." Estelle said. She did love her parents, no matter how overprotective they were. While she wouldn't deny that she didn't enjoy being stuck in one place for such a long time, she also wouldn't ever deny that she knew her parents were just doing what they deemed best for their daughter.

"Yeah, but they do know that at some point, you have to grow up and leave, right?" he pointed out. "It's not like they can confine you there forever." At least, he hoped they couldn't.

She honestly had never really thought about that. She didn't ever think about having a life of her own outside of the manor ... her parents never spoke of it, either.

Estelle was quiet for several moments.

Yuri picks up on the quiet, turning around and looking at her. "Well?"

[sacredpennance.livejournal.com]

"I .. never thought about it," was the only response she could muster.

"I don't know if they have, either."

A quiet sigh. So there was something she hadn't considered, after all. There was a quiet snort followed by him stretching is arms as he glanced over to look at Estelle.

"Maybe you can talk to them about that, then? Work something out that'll satisfy you lot."

[sacredpennance.livejournal.com]

"Maybe ..." And then, after a few moments of silence, she nodded. "Yes, I think I will."

And with that, she smiles.

"Good." He sighs, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. Leveling a gaze at Estelle, he paused.

"Hopefully they'll let you get out more."

"It will take a lot to convince them, but I won't give up!" Estelle certainly seemed determined enough.

"... Um, your name is Yuri, right? How did you meet Rita?"

[baticul-guard.livejournal.com]

"She was fighting with Genis, a friend of mine. I tried to break it up and got blasted with Lioghtning for my trouble."

[sacredpennance.livejournal.com]

She gasped. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" She looked genuinely concerned for him.

"Rita has a temper, I'm so sorry for any trouble that might have caused!"

"It's fine. I'm still alive, aren't I?"
