Good! If you want more, I can make more! Or. I can bring you spiritually nourishing reading materials?

[wise_maiden]

You seem ... very... eager about all of this. Did something happen? You weren't kidnapped again, were you?

[all7seas]

Eager?

[Well he doesn't want to appear TOO eager.]

Just want you comfy-cozy, is all. Tell me: what happened to you?

[wise_maiden]

Eager to avoid answering me plainly, I suppose. [Not that she's one to talk in that regard.] In any case I was... attacked, about a week ago now.

[all7seas]

I heard about that. Can you reveal more, darling?

[wise_maiden]

[She hesitates. This is Jack, and he does seem to be in a strange mood. The last thing she wants to do is give him more reason to worry, but he's likely concerned anyway without the details.

But Raine doesn't want him to have reason to react negatively toward anyone, so there's a moment for her to sort her thoughts on how to explain the situation. ... It wasn't really that complicated.]

Someone... was possessed by a malevolent entity, and took most of my energy. From what I understand, it's all been settled, so it's not something to worry about happening again.

[all7seas]

Ah.

[That sounds........soul-hurting. Really. Maybe some soulish music will help? Jack begins to sing softly to Raine:]

"No woman no cryyyy..."

[wise_maiden]

[And she's just. Incredulous.

He's... singing. He is singing at her window.]

... Jack.

[all7seas]

Do you remember when we used to siiiing?

[He just...keeps going. Her soul needs it.]

[wise_maiden]

You are singing at my window. Do you have a fever?

[all7seas]

Soulfever.

[wise_maiden]

The food, now the songs... you seem very preoccupied.

[all7seas]

Why shouldn't I be! You're sick. Ill. I'm looking after you!

[wise_maiden]

... and that's all it is? You look like you haven't had any sleep.

[all7seas]

I've...had a little. I was on a mission.

[He comes back to her window, clinging to the sill once more.]

On a mission with James and Richard.

[wise_maiden]

Were you gone for a while? I was on a mission a few weeks ago, myself, before this happened.

[all7seas]

A week or so, give or take. It was an easy job, really. Just training folk from other enclosures.

What was yours?

[wise_maiden]

Ah, I see. I was in the mountains, where there was a lot of fighting going on. [A considering pause, and then, almost wryly:] It's ironic that I'd return from the mission mostly unscathed only to have something happen to me here.

[all7seas]

Nnnn. [A frown.] Would soup help?

[wise_maiden]

I suppose it could but - ... honestly, Jack, I'd rather you take care of yourself, first, before worrying over me.

[all7seas]

Right. And it would help me to not worry over you. What sort of soup do you like?

[wise_maiden]

Jack. You are not bringing me soup. You are going home to get yourself some rest.

[all7seas]

......Can I bring you soup later-like?

[wise_maiden]

Are you going to go home and rest?

[all7seas]

Mmmhmm! Promise.
