...I guess he's gone. I don't think he was captured. ...Maybe they sent him home. I hope so. 

Anyway. Lloyd, I think I owe you a birthday present, right? Come over and get it. ...That reminds me, Allen, can I ask you something? 

Whether they think so or not, that last experiment was pretty...damaging. Hopefully the next one isn't as bad. ...Though I'm not stupid enough to assume that. It's been raining a lot recently and it...it reminds me of when I first got here. 

Hey, Raine. ...Can I talk to you?

[[ooc: "He" is Albert-not-Silverberg, and Sheena went to Lloyd's party but didn't have anything to give him. Also, wow, I never make this many typos, I really apologize.]]

Was that similar to the other times it happened?

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

...Not really. The first time...it was like they just wanted to hurt me until I...c-couldn't take it anymore.

The second time they let me summon. ...Regretted it, too.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

Oh...

Heh... used the opportunity to strike at them, I take it?

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

Do you know what can happen when all of the Summon Spirits get in a room together and find out their pact-maker is tied down?

*we actually enjoy remembering the destruction of one lab room*

...Then they snapped my wing...and that was the end of it.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

I can imagine it's not very pretty.

Mn...

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

...Why'd you wanna know?

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

I usually don't ask, I suppose ... it just seemed like I should.

It's occurred to me that I really don't have a real picture of what goes on when you all go missing like that... even though I'm used to just healing without asking.

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

I really, really hope you don't find out anytime soon.

...I, uh...I haven't been sleeping well lately. ...Is there any way you can help with that?

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

They don't seem to have taken too much of an interest in me yet. I suppose that's a good sign.

Hm? I have some herbs that can help with that... I can mix something up for you, if you'd like.

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah, I guess, maybe.

...I-I'm not...uh...I'm not feeling that great, either. ...I wasn't gonna say anything, but... *shrug*

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

I'll be fine.

How long have you been feeling like this?

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

Just today.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

What are your other symptoms? I can get some medicine...

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

I'm...kinda lightheaded, and I don't think I can eat anything.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

You do look a little pale... why don't you go lay down so I can get something for you then?

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, okay. ...Thanks.

*goes into her bedroom to lie down*

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

*nods, and starts getting the medicine together. She'll be over in a few minutes :/*

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

*not going anywhere*

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

*comes in with the medicine and a glass of water*

Here you go.

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

This is going to taste terrible, isn't it.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

... Sorry. I flavored it a little with some mint, if that helps.

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

Mm.

*takes it and drinks the water afterward, trying hard not to make a face*

Thanks.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

You don't have to thank me.

[crosses her arms] Just don't try to hide it next time, all right?

[in person]

[corrinesbell]

...I didn't think it was going to be a big deal.

[in person]

[wise_maiden]

If you don't take care of it, you don't know what it may turn into.
