[It had been a couple days, yet she was still so angry. She could hardly remember the last time she was this angry.. which was odd, considering how prone she was to anger. Being the rebel princess she was, she hadn't been attending the 'classes' she was told to, and instead confined herself in the library, reading book upon book about.. well, everything. Magic, history of the world she was now in, mythology and folklore.. anything that could provide an answer on a way to get back.

Of course, she could only go so long with no rest. Ashe is currently out cold, sitting at a desk. Her head is resting on top of a large red book, (an encyclopedia, by the looks of it) gently snoring.

Wake her up?]

Whatever it is you're looking for is still going to be here after you sleep in a bed, you know. [Well, maybe that's not entirely true, but still.]

You won't be able to find it if you make yourself sick by staying here for days on end.

... I have to return home as soon as possible. I do not have the time to sleep. [frown.]

But I suppose you're right.. without sleep, this task will only prove harder.

Do you have the time to get sick? It'll be better if you lose a few hours to get some sleep than spending a week in the infirmary.

[Yep, that's it, lecture over.]

But what's so important that you're doing this to find it?

[paradisiacally.livejournal.com]

... Mm. [Ashe knew she was right; she just didn't want to admit she was wrong. She smiles, rather sheepishly.]

I was attempting to find anything that could tell me how to return home. It's.. very imperative I arrive back as soon as possible.

[It's now that Lightning looks down at the books, seeing what Ashe had been looking at and frowning a bit. It's not hard to guess, really.]

You won't find anything. There's only one way back, and we can't control it.

[paradisiacally.livejournal.com]

You, too, it seems.. [Ashe pretty much thinks she's the only sane one here. Her smile turns to a rather sorrowful, expressionless face as she looks down at the book in front of her, flipping through the pages hoping something catches her eye.]

[Lightning nods a bit, then looks down at the books and frowns. The familiar setting is making the memories resurface, and she sighs as she keeps her eyes on the books.]

...I looked too, you know. There's nothing here that says how to get back.

[paradisiacally.livejournal.com]

[Ashe sighs. Of course, she knew she wouldn't be the only one actively searching for a way back.. she just hadn't thought about it before now. Ashe stands up, and looks to Lightning.]

As to be expected, I suppose. I won't be finding anything here..

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Lightning looks back up at Ashe, arms crossing her chest as she speaks. She's had her run around this subject, that's for sure.]

I'm not sure the scientists know anymore than we do. Don't expect to get answers from them or from books even in other places. We'll have to find things out on our own.

[paradisiacally.livejournal.com]

I see.. I should be used to that, by now.

[relying on herself seemed to be the best option nearly always.]
