Ceodore, Rydia…I'm leaving the clinic now. Thank you for everything.

[Although directed to said people, it's not filtered.]

[After sleeping for several days straight, Saleh leaves the clinic to exercise his muscles and get them back into working order. He's just walking lightly around the plaza fountain now, watching his legs carefully as he puts one foot in front of the other. After a few minutes, weakness and exhaustion get the better of him again, and he sits on a bench to take a breather. He still looks tired and pale, but otherwise he's doing much better than before.]

[He pauses, pulling out his journal to address a minor question to the general population.]

How much time has passed?

It's June 27th according to this place's calendar.

You doing all right?

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

I'm doing better, but I still need more time. I'm sorry to have worried you.

[Assuming that Ephraim knows what's happened. He then whispers to himself, but it's still audible.]

So it was June 18th, and now June 27th...so it's been nine days...

[renaisprince.livejournal.com]

[Actually, Ephraim misplaced his journal for some time and only was guessing from this entry something had happened. So he's totally bluffing at the moment.] I wasn't too worried, I've seen enough to know you can handle about anything.

Mhm...

[He would discuss it more, but he doesn't even know what details to discuss. So he'll move on.]

How fare you, Prince? Has anything happened in the village?

[renaisprince.livejournal.com]

Heard some talk that there's another person to watch out for. Some guy kidnapped a girl here.

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

[That's very concerning news.]

Who is it? Is it anyone we know? Is anything being done?

[renaisprince.livejournal.com]

Not anyone we know unless you happen to know a girl named Noel? Here's what little I know on it. [And he's going to link Saleh to Hazama's entry (http://hyaha.livejournal.com/2439.html) since that is easy enough to pick out from trying to catch up on things. Hell, that's about where he stopped, because who wants to see more at that point?]

...

[The sage falls silent for a moment. He's not happy about this at all. It's even worse that he doesn't even have the strength to aid in the search. His face flickers with displeasure for a moment, before letting out a deep sigh.]

Despicable...

You're welcome! Take it easy, okay?

[Written]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

I shall.

...

Has there been any word on the return of Tellah or Ceodore's father?

[Written]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Cecil has returned. Tellah unfortunately hasn't, yet. They have been keeping him for a long time.

[Written]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

That is certainly concerning.

...How much time has passed since my return?

[Written]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Almost a week, I think. You're lucky. I've heard of people still dealing with aftermath two or even three weeks afterward.

[Written]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

I've not fully recovered yet. My strength is still lacking...I'd best not use any magic until this aftermath passes.

[Written]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Then don't. Keep resting and let the rest of us take care of whatever happens.

[Written]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Very well...

How fares Ceodore? Is he still a child?

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Uh, sure. Feeling better?

[Written]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

No, he's returned to normal. He remembers what happened, though.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I am still weak. It's good to see you back to your true self, Ceodore.

[Voice]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It's... good to be back.

[And really embarrassing to remember all the silly stuff he did.]

[Voice] *Late tag is late...*

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Mhm. How is your father? I hear tell he has returned as well.

[Voice] It's all good.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Yes, when I did. He's... better now.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that.
