Characters: Guy Cecil ([livejournal.com profile] guyexplains) and Emperor Peony ([livejournal.com profile] imperiator)
Location: Grand Chokmah, d1 Auldrant
Time: A day after this
Summary: Guy has an audience with the Emperor to apologize for his behavior and request time off.
Warnings: Possible trolling.

A good night's sleep, a bath, a change of clothes, and breakfast when he finally felt calm enough to eat... Guy really felt like a new man. Maybe that was poor taste of words, but considering he'd been the one to undergo the changes to his own personality, he felt he was entitled the bad joke. As Mu had predicted, not everything was quite back to normal, little things kept surprising him as he remembered them. It'd taken him ten minutes of searching to find where he kept his own gloves, and then the memory had returned and he'd finished getting dressed and ready with little other incident or poor recollection. But it was details like that that threw him a little off balance for the rest of the morning. When he'd made his way to the palace he'd forgotten the name of the guard at the entrance who greeted him, awkwardly returned the hello and only remembered the man's name after he was in the next room.

Details, unimportant, but confusing all the same. And he did remember the rewritten memories. Hazily, but clear enough that they were confusing in their own way. He knew which set was his own past and which was the experiment--he was pretty sure. He tried not to think too hard on it, or he'd have to start second-guessing everything. He'd just have to have faith in Jade and by extension Mu.

Jade had promised to get him an audience with Peony--something Guy hadn't exactly needed help with, but he'd understood the intention there. So he arrived in the morning, refreshed and feeling a lot more sane and calm and generally himself. He didn't bother taking the stairs up to the audience hall, instead letting himself into Peony's rooms and nodding to the maid in the outer suite before knocking on the doors of the inner room, walking in after a moment without waiting for an invitation.

"Good morning." He said it cheerfully enough, as if nothing amiss had happened lately.

"I'd be worried if Jade took me as an example for anything." Guy made a slight noise of protest, or maybe resignation, at the hair ruffle, but took it with as much grace as a full grown man having his hair ruffled like a favorite pet could.

Dignity was clearly for other people, anyway.

"Thank you. It'll only be a week, if that. I wouldn't want to worry the imperial rappigs." Or their owner.

"These guys worry way too much. I guess it's just natural, since they're all so caring and intelligent."

As if to contradict him, the Cute Jade walks into a table and falls down.

"Maybe not all, but close enough."

Peony walked over to the Cute Jade, picking him up and cuddling him.

"Do you think they'll be able to see you around on the Plane, if they start worrying too much?"

"Yeah. I'll check in so they don't have to fret." Guy laughs, leaning back when Aslan nudges him int he calf. "I wouldn't want to put any more stress on them, after all."

It's not everything he wants to say, but having a heavy discussion with Peony seems unfair. The Emperor's got enough on his shoulders, and he's already refused refused Guy's apology. Guy isn't going to force Peony to accept his regret. Settling into things as normal is easy.
