~The Capital, 6115 a.d. Day 176~
Lied stood in front of a house. He paced around the entrance, too nervous to knock on the door. He kept walking in a circle, constantly considering just running away. His missing arm still hurt, and he had no idea how to deal with it. Just in case anybody saw him, he kept his hand behind his back.
"Lied?"
Lied glanced over, seeing a couple of familiar faces. A woman was holding the hand of a child. Lied turned to face Lazli and Kalego. He was speechless when he noticed Kalego's line of sight. Lazli asked him, "What's the matter? Didn't Desmond go off to find you?"
Lied bowed.
He requested softly, "C-Could we speak in private?"
Lazli guided Kalego into the house before stepping out herself. Lied stood there nervously, Lazli leaning against the door. She was watching Lied's movements. Lied started awkwardly, "So... how has Kalego's school been?"
