[Albert and Caesar]
I would like a word, when you have the time. In person.
[Katara]
Are you well?
[Richard]
There is something I wish to show you. When is a suitable time to meet?
[With those messages taken care of, Sigmund makes a quick round of the house to check that everything and everyone is well before he starts his morning routine. Unfortunately, this leads to a less than thrilling discovery. Aya's room is empty. Gone. He knows he should be pleased that she's not trapped here any longer... so why does he feel that twinge of loneliness and guilt? He'll knock on both Ed and Capell's doors before he goes, so that he can give them the news. ...Individually. Individually would probably be best.
Oh, and there was that matter he wanted to speak to Edward about, as well... But perhaps today isn't the best day.]

[Isamu's around to keep an eye on Naoki, who seems to be doing better anyway, so Richard won't feel too guilty leaving him for a bit.]
[And, like he said, he'll be along later that afternoon, dressed casually though with his rapier on his hip just in case this "something" Sigmund wants to show him has to do with sword practice, as he suspects it might.]
What is it?
Aya has returned home.
His brain hasn't quite cleared of its sleepy haze and the true meaning of the statement isn't registering.]
Huh?
She's gone.
Yeah, sitting down is a good idea. He gracelessly plops down onto the bed.]
Oh. [He can't summon up anything more intelligent to say. It's a little hard for him to think right now. The metaphorical ton of bricks he just got hit with has left him dazed.]
Uh... I'm not doing anything today. Obviously. Where shall we meet?
Would my house be suitable?
I don't see why not. And I don't think Albert will have any objections, either. [He may or may not be aware that he's going with him yet.] Where is it?
Right. We'll be there in a little while. [Or however long it takes to convince Albert that both of them going together is clearly the best idea ever. Whenever he gets that out of the way, though, the two of them will be moving in that direction, heading toward Sigmund's house, just like he asked. Hopefully, they weren't already bickering, but I make no promises.]
My lord, is there something you need?
[No point in beating around the bush. He's already spent a good portion of the morning with Capell, so it's had time to sink in.]
Does Capell know?
I told him first. Be easy on him. He's not talking it well.
...Well, it's not like Ed can blame him.]
I'm fine, thank you!
[Of course she is, what else is she going to say.]
You?
I've had to replace the front door three times, though.
