nobleman: (i'll wait a thousand years.)

With the speed that train had been going, Guy imagined that if it had actually been there it would have run itself off the tracks and gone crashing into the lake, possibly scattering the bones of that ferryman in the process. No, chances were that Claude was right and it was just a very vivid illusion.

When Anise expanded Tokunaga into its full form, Guy couldn't help smiling. Anise just looked so much at home on top of that doll, and it was something he was used to seeing, something familiar and comforting in a strange way. He didn't really blame Claude for being surprised by it, though. It took some getting used to.

"Well, now you don't have to worry about your legs getting tired," Guy teased Anise. It was definitely a relief to be back at full strength, especially since they had no idea where they'd end up next.

Guy did have to wonder if they were really out of Landel's clutches at this point -- and more than that, why the Head Doctor would allow such a thing. "Could be," he said in response to Claude. "I wonder if that means that we won't end up back in our beds come morning, either." It was just as they'd suspected, but it was different now that it actually seemed to be happening. Guy could barely believe it.

At least they'd brought some supplies with them. Guy didn't know how long they would last, but it was better than nothing. He stared down the length of the tunnel that was still ahead of them and then nodded to both his friends. "Either way, we'd better keep moving."
