[locked from Mithos and Martel]

Okay, guys. Raine brought this up a while ago, but some of you are new and things've changed a little. There's a kid here in Luceti named Mithos - he looks like he's about thirteen, with blond hair - he's from my world. And he's dangerous. Not like he wants to go around tearing the place apart or anything, but...more like, he doesn't trust anybody. He doesn't need a logical reason to attack you if he thinks he's gotta.

I don't want anybody going after him or anything, 'cause that's not what this warning is about. It's just a warning. He's come after me, and then Sayo, and just recently Raine and Yuan. You don't wanna provoke him and if you can, you wanna stay outta his way. Most people, he's gonna dislike or outright hate, so it's not like he'll be coming after you for conversation.

But like I said, it's just a warning. Nobody do anything stupid.

Anyway, I was hoping some people here were still interested in working in the tea shop. It's been great so far, but there's no way I can be there all day every day myself and not go totally crazy. I'd need someone who knows how to brew tea, and a couple people willing to take orders and serve it and stuff. I remember people saying they'd like to do it before - that's still true, right? I promise I wouldn't make you work too hard.

[The tea shop is where she happens to be at the moment. Though it's noticeably low on customers this evening.]

She might. She did say she forgave us for our part in locking him up. Perhaps him escaping will give her all the more reason to try and correct him.

You think maybe I should've let her hear the part about how you two got hurt?

It's probably too late for that now. Besides... she'll seek the truth eventually. I'm sure of that.

I really hope so.

There isn't much else that can be done.

I know, and it's not like sitting here talking about it is gonna make a big difference. [But, maybe it gets her out of the house for a while.]

Exactly. So why are we still talking about it?

[Even if she doesn't always notice it, Raine definitely has the ability to set the expectations for a discussion.]

I dunno. [Is the answer to stop talking, then?]

[They were still talking about it because Raine was still blaming herself for the incident.

Which was, perhaps, illogical.

And perhaps, made it more frustrating.]

... All right.

Is Yuan remembering any better? I haven't talked to him in a little while.

[He does seem to be avoiding her.]

I've filled him in on a few things, but he doesn't remember them very clearly. I suggested that he not try to leave the clinic until he's made some more improvement in that regard.

I did have one conversation with him, but he didn't sound all that interested in talking. Not that he ever does really.

It just bothers me that Mithos could take advantage of him like that.

He's not really up to talking right now. I don't blame him, being in a state like that. Not being sure if you can trust what you hear, or even what you recall. It's not a good place.

It makes sense. We couldn't've even told him to stay with someone, because who would he still believe?

He did seem a little more willing to listen to me after the... misunderstanding... had been cleared up. So there's still that much. [She couldn't reach him when it counted, though. That stings.]

He's gonna hate how manipulated he was. ...D'you think he'll try to do something to get back at Mithos for that?

When aren't those two fighting? In his current state, he might leave it alone. When he remembers... who can say?

I really don't want one of them to end up dead, okay?

[Yuan because she's got a soft spot for him now, and Mithos because he would just come back and be all vengeful.]

I think Yuan knows better than that. Mithos likely won't be trying anything any time soon, anyway.

Yuan'll stop himself because it'd upset Martel.

We don't know what will happen. It's not in our power. When he's back to normal, we can probably come up with something. For now, we can't do anything.

...Is that what's driving you crazy?

I'm just frustrated that this happened to begin with. If I had been a little faster in contacting you, we could have managed to nip this in the bud. I should have stayed out of the way when I realized what was going on.

That's really easy to say days afterward when you've had lots of time to sit around and think about what you could've done. But right then maybe what you did was the best thing to do.

No, it wasn't. All it succeeded in was to give Yuan the extra guilt of attacking me once again.
