[[OOM: Demeter restores Teja's memory]]

Teja storms in through the door. He is still wearing his armour and his axe, but he is looking less fierce by the addition of a small grey cat on his shoulder.

He looks around, to see if he may see any that he can question.

The most important thing: - Charlie!


[[OOC: Not plot-locked at all!]]

There is a scream from just next to the bar, as Carlotta gets the note about him being dead.

[ostro_goth]

"Carlotta?"

Teja knows her voice, again. He is by her side within moments.

[fiery_ring]

She looks at him, then at the note, then flings her arms around him and sobs.

"If that was someone's stupid idea of a joke I'm going to kick their teeth in!"

[ostro_goth]

Teja holds her.

"No," he says. "I was shot; but I returned, as I had from your world."

[fiery_ring]

Carlotta wipes her nose on her sleeve when she manages to get a hold on herself.

"You got killed again? You need to be more careful!"

[ostro_goth]

Teja barely remembers ever laughing like this.

He stands there, in his armour, and laughs.

"I am getting practice at it!" he says.

[fiery_ring]

Carlotta tries hard not to burst into tears again and hands him the note.

"You're not a cat, you might have a limited number of... spare lives."

[ostro_goth]

Teja hugs her again.

"I am sorry," he says. "I will try to die less often. It was hard work for Demeter, one might assume, to make me retrieve my memory."

[fiery_ring]

She hugs back.

"Who killed you?"

[ostro_goth]

"If I knew," Teja says, "he would have my axe in his skull, would he not?"

[fiery_ring]

"You only just got back."

[ostro_goth]

"No, I know not who it was," Teja says, simply.

[fiery_ring]

"It says here that Charlie was hurt sir."

[ostro_goth]

"I know," Teja says. "We were kissing, in the woods, when a sharp pain hit me in the back. I shall go see him, now I know you are not breaking your heart for me."

[fiery_ring]

"Yes, you must. I will visit him later when he's sleeping and leave him some barley sugar or something."

[ostro_goth]

Teja looks at her.

"He is not the easiest of lovers to have, I remember," he says. "But he does not wish me ill, at all, and never has. I am not an easy man to live with, either. Yes, I remember what you told me. But I would not wish to choose, unless you ask me to."

[fiery_ring]

She squeezes his hand.

"Go to your lover, your Highness." she says, firmly. "I would not have you make such a choice, unless things changed a lot."

[ostro_goth]

"Thank you," Teja says, warmly, squeezing back.

And then he goes to see his beloved.
