"I-I... Thank you... Siglos..." Jeanne murmured, "Where... were you? I didn't see you in the room when I woke up... Maybe that's just me being delirious, though, my eyes are rather dysfunctional at the moment in all honesty..."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Anything we can do to help...?" Khadgar whispered to her, having sat back, most of his sources drained of mana

"I-I... Thank you... Siglos..." Jeanne murmured, "Where... were you? I didn't see you in the room when I woke up... Maybe that's just me being delirious, though, my eyes are rather dysfunctional at the moment in all honesty..."

Siglos stared at Jeanne for a moment, shame slowly building up in his body. His cheeks began to burn slightly as he stared down at the girl. He'd abandoned her. Left her to suffer as he and Slyvia gave into their desires. His chest began to tighten, and he looked away.

"W-when...w-when I-I s-saw you l-like t-this...I-I...panicked..." Siglos said quietly.

"...S-Slyvia...h-had t-t take m-me away...t-to...h-help m-me c-calm down." Siglos murmured.

 

[azontr]

"Oh... I'm glad you calmed down, then..." Jeanne murmured, while Sylvia breathed out. Cain glanced at Sylvia and Siglos, gently snarling before just shaking her head, not really caring since she wasn't much worried about Jeanne herself but moreso what was happening to her.

"I'm... fine, Khadgar... I just feel... strange. Numb..." Jeanne whispered back to Khadgar.

"I'm... fine, Khadgar... I just feel... strange. Numb..." Jeanne whispered back to Khadgar.

Siglos gingerly looked back towards Jeanne, breathing out a soft sigh.

"...Y-your...y-your chest wound..." Siglos said quietly.

"...D-do...d-do you feel...a-any pain...?" Siglos murmured. His voice dripped with worry, as he stared down at the material covering her wound.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah watched silently before looking at Khadgar for one second

 

[azontr]

Siglos gingerly looked back towards Jeanne, breathing out a soft sigh.

"...Y-your...y-your chest wound..." Siglos said quietly.

"...D-do...d-do you feel...a-any pain...?" Siglos murmured. His voice dripped with worry, as he stared down at the material covering her wound.

"Not... really...? It just feels... numb. In fact, my entire body feels numb..." Jeanne murmured.

 

[KingEzran]

Saffi was in another room, away from the others...(purposely doesn't mention what she's doing or how she's feeling until someone approaches her bc I'm a troll)

 

[azontr]

Saffi was in another room, away from the others...(purposely doesn't mention what she's doing or how she's feeling until someone approaches her bc I'm a troll)

(Jeanne will prolly wonder where Saffi went since she also didn't see her when she woke up, assuming Saffi left before she woke up.)

 

[KingEzran]

(Yeah, she was gone before Jeanne woke up.)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Not... really...? It just feels... numb. In fact, my entire body feels numb..." Jeanne murmured.

"W-what...w-what about y-your...o-other senses? I-Is your h-hearing clear...?" Siglos said quietly. He began to tremble slightly, hearing that Jeanne couldn't feel anything was enough to send a wave of fear and anxiety through his body.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Not... really...? It just feels... numb. In fact, my entire body feels numb..." Jeanne murmured.

Khadgar sighed deeply "you should lay low for awhile at least, okay?" He said

 

[azontr]

"My hearing is... fine, Siglos. It just rings a bit. Otherwise everything is just... numb, and soft... No, it... burns... my right arm and my chest feel really hot..." Jeanne murmured, nodding at Khadgar's statement. The burning didn't seem to bother her, she wasn't crying out in pain or showing to many signs of pain, but she pointed it out anyway. She noticed that Saffi wasn't in the room, and, waiting for responses to her answers, looked around for the Everian woman, only to find she was not there.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"I-It burns...?" Siglos asked quietly.

"...I...I c-can...m-make y-you s-some w-water o-or ice. I-if...i-if t-that would help..." Siglos murmured.

 

[azontr]

"I..." Jeanne blinked a few times, looking at Siglos. "I... I'd like that, Siglos..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"I..." Jeanne blinked a few times, looking at Siglos. "I... I'd like that, Siglos..."

Siglos nodded quickly. Opening his bag, he rummaged through his equipment for a moment before taking out a large, clear flask.

"Here is s-some w-water. I-it r-refills a-automatically...s-so...d-drink a-as much a-as you need..." Siglos said quietly. Gingerly, he moved it forward, placing it near her mouth.

"D-do...d-do y-you need h-help...drinking it...?" Siglos said softly.

 

[azontr]

"N-No, I... I think I... got it..." Jeanne murmured, reaching out to the flash with her left arm, her normal arm. Her right arm gently trembled as she tried to drink the flask, visibly struggling.

Velen carefully observed Jeanne's condition, his eyes squinting. He specifically observed her right arm and her chest as Jeanne trembled trying to pour water down her still scorched throat.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"D-don't p-push yourself..." Siglos said quietly. Gingerly, he moved a hand underneath her arm, hoping to steady it a bit as she drank from the flask.

"I-is...is t-there a-anything e-else I c-can get you...?" He asked softly.

 

[azontr]

"...." Jeanne glanced around once more.

"Where's Saffi...?"

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos hesitated, before looking around.

"I-I'm n-not sure. I...h-haven't seen h-her since...m-me and Slyvia left..." Siglos said quietly.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne glanced at Siglos, her blue eyes seeming to pierce through him as she gently lowered the flash.

"Any idea where she may be...? You two seem close..." She murmured. She seemed to be contemplating something.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos flinched slightly, unnerved by Jeanne's piercing gaze. Gingerly, he took a step back, looking around.

"W-well...Saffi w-wouldn't l-leave t-the church...n-not w-when you're still injured..." Siglos said quietly.

"...S-she's...probably nearby. M-maybe...i-in one o-of the o-other rooms..."

 

[azontr]

"Obviously she's in another room, Siglos... I'm asking what room..." Jeanne murmured, continuing to contemplate something, Siglos' absence and Saffi's absence seeming to make her question a few things..

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"R-right...s-sorry..." Siglos said quietly.

"I...I can...go search f-for her, i-if t-that would help..."

 

[azontr]

"....." Jeanne tilted her head, glancing at Siglos and Sylvia, which also caused Sylvia to tilt her head when her emerald green eyes met Jeanne's deep blue eyes for a moment.

"Siglos, question, what happened after you and Sylvia left...? When you two were alone, I mean."

 

[DaReaperMan]

Khadgar's own eyes moved to siglos, twinkling with amusement as the majority of the danger was gone, even if he was still worried, with Kargath just leaning back against the wall

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"....." Jeanne tilted her head, glancing at Siglos and Sylvia, which also caused Sylvia to tilt her head when her emerald green eyes met Jeanne's deep blue eyes for a moment.

"Siglos, question, what happened after you and Sylvia left...? When you two were alone, I mean."

Siglos stared at her blankly for a moment.

"W-well...I-I...g-gave Slyvia...o-one of the r-rings I've b-been...working on. A...sound r-ring, s-so she can communicate w-without sign language..." Siglos said quietly, squirming slightly.

 

[azontr]

"Oh... wow, that's..." Jeanne seemed to be actually surprised and amazed by that, her suspicion dying down for a few moments before she shook her head and breathed out.

"Anything else...?"

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"....." Siglos stared at Jeanne, unsure how to respond.

"...W-we...uh...t-talked f-for a bit. A-after that..." Siglos said quietly.

"...W-we...we should...g-go find...Saffi..." Siglos murmured, wanting to change the subject.

 

[azontr]

"It's just a simple question, Siglos..." Jeanne murmured, her suspicion now beginning to rise. Velen leaned forward a bit, as if he was worried something would happen, but it was hard to tell as he just continued to observe Jeanne's arm and chest like a hawk.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"......."

"W-well...me and Slyvia...m-might've...k-kissed for a...bit. W-we....we...uh..." Siglos trailed off.

"...We...love each other...a-and...she was...h-happy to receive the r-ring..." Siglos murmured. He blushed slightly, seeming to think his relationship with Slyvia wasn't known by the rest of the group.

"...B-but y-you p-probably d-don't want to hear about our...r-relationship. It's...it's personal..." Siglos said quietly.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne squinted her eyes. She was well, well aware of their relationship. Everyone was. They'd made it so not obvious when they go around cuddling in public that it may as well have been printed in the newspaper and distributed to everyone in town.

"I... see." She said quietly. "Seems like a bit of an... inappropriate time, though..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos stared at the ground, his cheeks flushed.

"...I'm...sorry, Jeanne. I...I k-know we...s-should h-have been h-here with you..." Siglos said quietly. He bowed deeply at the women, his hair flowing down his face, obscuring the evident shame in his eyes.

"...Please...forgive us."

 

[azontr]

Sylvia breathed out, shaking her head. Even she seemed to feel some shame, even if she didn't much care about Jeanne...

"....." Jeanne remained silent, her expression contorting ever so slightly. Velen moved up, putting his staff in-between Jeanne and Siglos.

"Let's not waste time on this..." Velen said firmly.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...S-sorry..." Siglos said quietly. Gingerly, he moved away from the bed, pressing himself against one of the corners of the room. He stared at the ground, saying nothing more.

 

[azontr]

Velen glanced down at Jeanne, and Jeanne glanced back up, gentle scarlet sparks forming around her right arm. Velen breathed out.

"I know what you are now and what your feeling... But don't let it consume you. I'll explain everything soon." Velen said telepathically to Jeanne, causing her eyes to widen and her fists to clench. She was upset, and very much so... She felt extremely insulted by Siglos and Sylvia.

"...I'll get some rest. You guys should go look for Saffi..." Jeanne murmured, laying back down with her armor still on.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Kargath scoffed, looking over at Siglos "Should've waited." He said, looking over at Velen as Khadgar sighed, seeing a conflict coming ten miles away from this

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos simply shook his head. Numbly, he moved to the door, slipping outside and into the hallway.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"If you want Jeanne while you go to rest, I can go check how Saffi is?" Noah said wanting to escape from this discomfort

 

[azontr]

"Thank you, Noah... I'd really appreciate that..." Jeanne murmured, just laying there limply as her right arm continued to twitch. She glanced at Velen and Velen glanced back at her, the girl desperately wanting to know what he knew, but, she just breathed out and lay there.

"I think I'll join you." Diana said with crossed arms, the Dragoness walking next to Noah, steam very gently rising from the sides of her mouth.
