128th Devotion: Coming Back for More

[Accidental Video]
[The video blooms to life just as a loud splash sounds. Looking a bit startled and confused, Solomon Goldsmith stands gazing down at his suddenly waterlogged pants legs. His head tilts and his eyes drift to the network device waiting patiently on the fountain's edge.]

What...?

[Sitting down on the edge of the fountain, he sighs.]

Well, I suppose that depends. You say I've been gone... for how long?

You either remember it or you don't.

[Don't play games, Solomon, you will hurt Saya if you do and that means Haji will hurt you.]

You were gone for just over a week.

That long?

[Solomon blinked in surprise. It had only been hours to him. The implications were staggering, so much so, that he completely lost anything else he was going to say in response to Haji's question.]

How interesting...

You think I'd lie?

[Interesting isn't the word he's thinking of.]

Hm? [Stirring from his thoughts, Solomon looked back up at the other Chevalier as if seeing him for the very first time.]

What was that?

You expressed doubt in my answer, I asked you if you thought I was lying?

Still assuming the worst of me, I see.

[Solomon supported his weight as he swung his legs out of the fountain. He shouldn't have expected anything else really. They'd both known how things had happened back home. What other things was he unaware of?]

I wasn't expressing doubt. I was simply startled at the time discrepancy.

Until I knew if you remembered this place, it seemed best.

[He watches Solomon exit the fountain.]

What was happening when you came back here?
