114. Terze [voiced]

[corrinesbell]

So.

[nothing about time. Nothing about being a prisoner for longer than she ever thought possible. ...Nothing at all to identify that this day is any different than the last.]

What's the best adventure you've ever been on?

[nothing but a resigned note in her already-tired voice. And the strangeness of the question.]

[corrinesbell]

Okay.

[ombra_lira]

[In a little while, he'll come knocking. Right at her bedroom door, that is. Pardon him for letting himself into the house.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Uh, come in.

[She looks a lot worse now than her writing might have sounded, but she's sitting up at least]

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[Sheik offers her a small smile to hide his worry and comes in. "How are you feeling?" he asks with his shadow as he settles by her side.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

I've felt a lot better before.

[she's pale and still has a pretty high fever. If she gets the idea to ask him to help her escape? He might want to decline]

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[She wouldn't get far with him anyway. Sheik's lucky he's not under lock and key himself. Then again, his babysitter is pocket-sized, and currently nesting in the folds of Sheik's scarf. If Sheena really looks, she'd probably find the little pink ferret foot poking out from under Sheik's hair.]

[Sheik nods. "I hope you will begin to feel better soon". He knows full well how much of a drag it is being sick and stuck in bed.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Thanks. ...Sorry I'm not great company.

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[He shakes his head. It's all right. He came to be the company, not the other way around.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[then excuse her while she closes her eyes for a few minutes. Not to fall asleep. Just to get a break]

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[Sheik doesn't seem to mind. He simply pulls out his lyre and begins to play a quiet, simple tune.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[That might put her to sleep. And wouldn't that be a short and quiet visit. ...The music is lovely, though.]

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[Well, it's what Sheik does. He rather likes offering comfort to others if he can.]
