FrozenMaiden 18

[20:28]	<[GM]Mary>	Continuing from where we left off..
[21:03]	* Alessa	is still sitting in her chair beside the bed.
[21:11]	<Alessa>	Hmm? Sarian? How do ya feel?
[21:12]	* Sarian	just looks on into space, struggling to remember anything... even this kind woman's name which she recently (re-?)learned.
[21:13]	<Sarian>	Um... No better really, nya...
[21:13]	* Leona	walk out of the kitchen with pair of glasses filled with warm, brown fluid.
[21:13]	<Leona>	Here. Have some hot chocolat.
[21:16]	* Leona	sit down with a tired expression.
[21:16]	<Leona>	...at least it should warm you up.
[21:16]	* Sarian	takes the glass idly, capable of somewhat holding it steady by her own power.
[21:16]	<Sarian>	yeah-nya.
[21:16]	<Leona>	need help with that?
[21:18]	* Alessa	is ready at the side should Sarian's strength fail.
[21:18]	* Alessa	does think the hot chocolate looks delicious, though... she tries to resist temptation.
[21:20]	<Leona>	Okay, I'll place yours here Alessa.
[21:20]	* Leona	put the other cup on nearby table.
[21:20]	<Sarian>	... Nya, I think I can probably handle it this time...
[21:20]	<Alessa>	...mine?
[21:20]	<Leona>	Yes. Yours.
[21:20]	<Alessa>	You made that one for me?
[21:20]	<Leona>	Uh, yes? why not?
[21:21]	* Alessa	pulls Leona into a hug.
[21:21]	<Alessa>	Oh, I love you! Thank you!
[21:22]	<Leona>	Oh dear.
[21:22]	* Sarian	manages to bring the glass to her lips and take a small sip though the liquid's surface itself still trembles noticeably.
[21:22]	* Leona	just absentmindedly stroke Alessa's head.
[21:22]	<Leona>	Lots of things happened, huh.
[21:23]	* Alessa	releases Leona and busies herself with the cocoa
[21:23]	* Sarian	. o O ( It's good... )
[21:24]	* Leona	just gaze outside, busy herself with her own thoughts.
[21:24]	* Sarian	puts the glass down as soft as she can, but an audible "clink" is still heard due to her present weakness.
[21:24]	* Sarian	. o O ( ... but what happened...? Who- )
[21:24]	<Leona>	Oh. Sorry. Don't be hesitate to call me next time you need helping hands.
[21:25]	<Leona>	We're here for that.
[21:25]	* Alessa	is drinking with an almost shameful enthusiasm.
[21:25]	<Sarian>	Um, thanks-nya...
[21:25]	<Alessa>	Yeah~ Any time, anything you need~
[21:25]	<Leona>	Sheesh, watch it Alessa!
[21:25]	* Leona	wipe Alessa's face with her handkerchief.
[21:25]	<Leona>	Slow down! you might choke!
[21:25]	<Alessa>	It's good, though...
[21:26]	* Sarian	glances about the room, quite the lost expression upon her face.
[21:26]	<Alessa>	Something wrong, Sarianya?
[21:27]	<Alessa>	Are you looking for something?
[21:27]	* Sarian	's head drops. o O ( I'm already helpless and they seem to be here to help, so... )
[21:27]	* Alessa	puts down her empty glass.
[21:27]	<Sarian>	... just about anything, nya...
[21:28]	<Alessa>	That's a lot. Can you narrow it down a bit?
[21:29]	* Sarian	gulps. o O ( I... just need to know... )
[21:29]	<Sarian>	... so "Sarianya" is my name...?
[21:29]	<Alessa>	Ah... Sarian. Sarianya is habit.
[21:30]	<Sarian>	ah, thanks-nya.
[21:30]	* Sarian	has almost forgotten what shape a box is.
[21:34]	<Alessa>	What else?
[21:34]	<Leona>	We don't want to cram everything into your head. Just take it slow.
[21:35]	* Sarian	nods.
[21:35]	<Leona>	For starters, Here's Alessa. She was one of your close friend.
[21:35]	* Alessa	nods.
[21:36]	<Sarian>	I see-nya.
[21:36]	<Leona>	I'm Leona. We're not really close, but we know each other.
[21:37]	<Leona>	We work under the same master. I'll introduce you to him later.
[21:37]	<Sarian>	so... I'm some servant, nya...?
[21:38]	<Leona>	Sort of. But you're specialized in medical field.
[21:38]	<Leona>	You are a doctor, you know? This place is your office.
[21:40]	<Sarian>	Oh.
[21:42]	* Leona	walk over to the cabinet and find something to freshen Sarian's memory.
[21:44]	* Sarian	looks around some more.
[21:44]	<Alessa>	How much do you remember?
[21:44]	<Alessa>	Does it sound familiar at all?
[21:45]	* Sarian	shakes her head, crestfallen.
[21:45]	<Sarian>	... Nothing.
[21:45]	<Leona>	Here. That's medicine list. Just give it a look. Maybe you might remember some of those doctor-ish names.
[21:45]	* Leona	laughs.
[21:45]	<Leona>	Take it easy.
[21:46]	* Alessa	runs a hand through Sarian's hair.
[21:48]	<Alessa>	Yeah, don't strain yourself.
[21:48]	<Alessa>	It'll happen in time
[21:49]	<Leona>	I'll go tidy this place up a bit, okay? you take care of Sarian.
[21:49]	* Leona	stands up, stretching a bit.
[21:51]	<Alessa>	Aight.
[21:52]	* Sarian	rubs her head against Alessa's hand on reflex a slight bit, liking the feel of it. Once she becomes conscious of this, however, she stops.
[21:53]	<Alessa>	Ehe~ Did you like it?~
[21:57]	* Sarian	goes ahead and admits it, since she's not capable of much herself.
[21:57]	<Sarian>	yes-nya.
[21:58]	* Leona	, seeing that this place is already tidy up, just walk outside to get some fresh air.
[21:58]	<Leona>	...Caesar, huh. I need to inform master Roland about this.
[22:01]	<Leona>	Sigh. Can't leave them be, either.
[22:01]	<Leona>	Better call the manor.
[22:02]	* Leona	do just that. she come back in, close the door and go to the phone.
[22:02]	* Alessa	continues to softly pet Sarian.
[22:03]	* Leona	hungs up after no one answer the phone.
[22:04]	<Leona>	They must be busy or something.
[22:05]	* Sarian	closes her eyes and enjoys the gentle sensation, letting her mind leave the issue of her memory alone for the now.
[22:05]	<Leona>	Hey, Alessa?
[22:05]	<Alessa>	Hmmm?
[22:05]	<Leona>	Do you know the place around here?
[22:05]	<Alessa>	...the place?
[22:05]	<Alessa>	I know a lot of places. Some are around here. Why?
[22:05]	<Leona>	I need to find someone.
[22:06]	<Alessa>	Who?
[22:06]	<Leona>	Caesar McKenzie.
[22:06]	<Alessa>	Oh... yeah.
[22:07]	<Leona>	?
[22:07]	* Alessa	stops her hand and her face falls slightly.
[22:07]	<Alessa>	He's from the mines. I know him well.
[22:07]	<Leona>	what's the matter?
[22:07]	* Sarian	opens her eyes again, the peace having subsided. o O ( ...? )
[22:08]	* Sarian	just looks on and listens for the immediate moment, a quizzical expression directed at both of them.
[22:09]	<Alessa>	Well, if you want to see him, I can take you to the mines...
[22:10]	<Leona>	No. Please stay. Someone must stay with Sarian.
[22:10]	* Alessa	nods.
[22:10]	<Leona>	We can go later.
[22:10]	* Leona	sit down.
[22:10]	* Sarian	chimes in, curiosity besting her patience.
[22:11]	<Sarian>	... who is this person, nya?...
[22:11]	<Leona>	One of your patient.
[22:11]	<Alessa>	Ah, he might have been, um, involved... with what happened.
[22:12]	<Leona>	It's probably nothing, Sarian. I just want to talk to him a bit.
[22:12]	<Alessa>	Yeah, it's not likely. I know Caesar, he's a good kid.
[22:12]	<Leona>	You remember? hey Alessa. Tell her what he looks like, in case she can remember him.
[22:13]	* Alessa	describes the kid as best she can.
[22:20]	* [G]Roland	steps in quietly, closing the door behind him.
[22:20]	<[G]Roland>	Hey there, sports. How're ya holdin' up?
[22:20]	<Leona>	Oh, master.
[22:20]	* Sarian	is caught mid-thought between how she knows nothing and knows nothing when she notices the man.
[22:20]	* Leona	stand up and bows.
[22:21]	<Leona>	Here, Sarian, is the guy you worked for. Master Roland Reagan.
[22:21]	<Alessa>	Oh, master.
[22:21]	<Alessa>	G'mornin'.
[22:21]	<Sarian>	ah, I see, nya.
[22:22]	<[G]Roland>	Hey, ladies.
[22:22]	* [G]Roland	takes a seat on the bed across from Sarian.
[22:22]	* Sarian	just looks at the man, not sure what to expect.
[22:23]	<Leona>	Sarian got bonked pretty hard she can't remember a thing.
[22:23]	<Leona>	and.... dear, you look like you just went into hell and back.
[22:24]	* Sarian	on second thought gets a negative sort of expectation from Roland's appearance.
[22:24]	<[G]Roland>	Yeah, I know.
[22:24]	<[G]Roland>	Rough weather.
[22:27]	<[G]Roland>	So, you can't remember a thing, huh?
[22:27]	* Sarian	shakes her head, silent.
[22:32]	<Sarian>	Nya, nothing...
[22:32]	* Alessa	sits by Sarian, an encouraging hand on her shoulder.
[22:33]	<Leona>	Sigh, You should bring one of us with you to lessen your workload, at least.
[22:33]	<Leona>	I'll be right back.
[22:34]	* Leona	is out of the room.
[00:22]	<[G]Roland>	Eh, I'm sure it'll come to ya in time.
[00:23]	<[G]Roland>	Anyway, Alessa, I've come to tell you that I'm... still gonna be busy for a while.
[00:25]	<Alessa>	Ah? You've been busy a lot lately...
[00:25]	<Alessa>	Shouldn't you take a rest?
[00:25]	<[G]Roland>	Afraid it's not my choice.
[00:25]	<Alessa>	Well, okay then...
[00:26]	<Sarian>	What's going on, nya...?
[00:27]	<[G]Roland>	I've been trying to get some clues on what's been happening with the accident and with what happened to Sarian, but I haven't made much progress. The chief of police says he's too busy with a thousand things in town himself, so it's unlikely we'll get an official investigation of what happened to her for a while.
[00:28]	<Alessa>	Trust the police to be useless when it really matters...
[00:28]	<Alessa>	But from what I've heard, ours isn't the only incident...
[00:29]	<Sarian>	... ah.
[00:29]	<[G]Roland>	Yeah, don't be too hard on 'em. Like us, they're understaffed and overworked.
[00:30]	<Alessa>	Something seems off here...
[00:30]	<Alessa>	Aaah, thinking's too difficult...
[00:31]	<[G]Roland>	Fact of the matter is, we're on our own for now. I'm going to make a few phone calls later on, see if anyone knows what's up.
[00:31]	<Alessa>	Do that.
[00:31]	<Alessa>	You need me to do anything?
[00:32]	* Sarian	remains silent for the time being, just absorbing the information of this apparent crisis.
[00:34]	<[G]Roland>	Hmm... I wish you could help with the investigation, but it's probably a bad idea to leave Sarian alone again...
[00:34]	* Sarian	. o O ( ... I'm guessing I shouldn't interrupt- )
[00:35]	* Alessa	gives Roland a kiss on the forehead.
[00:35]	<Alessa>	I'm leaving it to you, then~
[00:35]	<[G]Roland>	...eheh, sorry, but I got my own problems to take care of.
[00:36]	* Sarian	wonders about that kiss. o O ( ...? )
[00:37]	<Sarian>	nya... Roland?
[00:38]	<[G]Roland>	Hm?
[00:39]	<Sarian>	What happened to me, nya...?
[00:41]	<[G]Roland>	You'd probably be better off asking Alessa, I only know what she told me.
[00:42]	<Alessa>	Eh... to put it simply, you got drugged.
[00:43]	<Sarian>	... badly, nya?
[00:44]	<[G]Roland>	Nearly killed you, didn't it?
[00:44]	<Alessa>	Yes, badly.
[00:45]	* Sarian	. o O ( That badly? I guess I am pretty weak... )
[00:46]	<Sarian>	I see, nya.
[00:49]	<[G]Roland>	Hmm... Well, I gotta go. We'll see how this all works out.
[00:49]	<[G]Roland>	Take care, you two.
[00:49]	* [G]Roland	makes like a tree.
[00:56]	* Sarian	just lies back in bed, only a slight bit less lost than when she woke up.
