Act 4

[untrueheart]

[The sun is on its way down, clouds moving to fill in the spaces left by fading light, when a tired, staggering Rue makes her way back home again. At first she can't tell which part of the village she landed in; after a while she recognizes the road leading south and trudges along. She isn't sure whether to be sour or grateful that she has shoes on.

Eventually, after a nice long walk and a thorough freezing, Rue wanders into Seventh Heaven hoping for warmth and relative peace and quiet. Of which there is never any guarantee, an astounding feat for a town so small.]

[Whenever she makes her way to the Heart building, that's where she'll find a prince who is not quite complete yet.

He is also sound asleep, slumped quietly against the wall next to Rue's apartment. And still clutched in one hand is a small container of soup that has long since gone cold.]

[Yet another person was just exiting the restaurant when Rue was entering. Perona had just finished up some dinner (she was too lazy to cook for herself tonight) and was getting her coat she left at the entrance to head home. Imagine her face when she sees a young lady in nothing but a flimsy white gown and some shoes bumble inside.

She stares for a moment before she can't help but blurt out suddenly--] Were you actually outside dressed like that?

[clumsyduck]

[And there's Duck just randomly there already. She does a lot of wandering here. Recognizing Rue, she approached the girl.]

Hi Rue.

[As it just so happens, Richard is on shift at Seventh Heaven when Rue walks in. Immediately he switches directions from his original destination of the kitchen to head over to her, the smile on his face fading once he draws near and sees how tired she looks and realizes that she's clad only in that thin white dress. Goodness, that won't do at all.]

Here, come sit down and I'll get you something warm to drink.
