- 85 [Action]

[fortunefail]

[It's been two days since Yuan was returned from his most recent kidnapping and did something very stupid. His memories are still as faulty as the moment when he returned, though he has been filled in on the basic situation by now. The real situation, and not some garbled version his mind might concoct at the moment

[Here's someone Yuan probably doesn't want to remember, strolling through the plaza. When she sees him, she smiles and walks over.]

Hello, Yuan. Are you enjoying the nice weather? [The nice cloudy weather?]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan glances up at her with a mildly confused stare. Another one of those faces who seems only vaguely familiar. No name whatsoever. He does remember one thing, though. He remembers lying in a bed, while this woman presented him with flowers. Was he sick back then?

What's this about the weather? Well, at least it's not raining. And the temperature isn't too harsh. "Enjoying" and "nice" are awfully big words, though.]

It's... not too bad.

[lostinmyway]

[She takes his reply as an invitation to sit down next to him.]

It's so much fun to watch everyone coming and going, isn't it?

[fortunefail]

[Yuan doesn't mind. In a way, it's comforting to have company. People who aren't as clueless as him can keep him out of trouble. If only he knew Grune is even more clueless.]

You consider it fun?

[chikaidestroyer]

[Have another redhead visiting, Yuan. After having a talk with Sheena yesterday, Albert decided to head over to the clinic to see whether or not Yuan was staying put.

...Well. At least sitting in front of the clinic was better than wandering off.]

Something on your mind, Yuan?

[fortunefail]

[He may have a tendency to leave the clinic prematurely and seclude himself when he's ill or wounded, but even Yuan isn't stupid enough to wander off in a state like this. Not after what happened with Mithos, anyway. He's staying put like a good boy.

Albert looks vaguely familiar, like several others who've approached Yuan today, and as before he's blanking on a name. All he knows is that Albert strikes him as a very smart person. And definitely not someone to cross.]

One might say that. [In fact, one might say that the lack of things on his mind is what's on his mind.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert nods, crossing the distance to stand next to Yuan. Malnosso abduction effects tended to be rather troublesome to begin with, but this particular issue would probably haunt Yuan for awhile yet.

For not, he offers a hand in greeting.] Between Sheena and Raine's concerns, I thought I would see how you are doing.

[fortunefail]

[Yuan gives the hand a blank stare for a few seconds, before shaking it. It's just so strange to greet people he's supposed to have known for quite a while now.]

I assume they told you what happened?

[ Ever since Mithos has shown up at her doorstep, Martel has been pretty stressed. While it wasn't too difficult to keep an eye on him, she hasn't met or spoke to any her friends for a while. She didn't want to risk her friends getting injured. Though that doesn't mean she wanted her brother to remain imprisoned. It was just . . . confusing. She's not even sure what she wants anymore.

Anyway, she managed to slip away from Mithos' watchful eyes so she can try to figure out how he escaped. She was originally going to talk to Raine but changed her mind when she spotted Yuan at the plaza clinic. She's still aware he's trying to avoid her (and he's been doing a pretty good job at it too), but she felt it was better to get her answers from him. ]

Yuan! I'm so glad that you're here. Are you aware that Mithos has escaped?

[action]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan had been avoiding Martel somewhat, yes, but his job was made infinitely easier when the Malnosso decided to kidnap him for roughly two weeks. Now that he's returned, he has no clue who to avoid and who to approach. He's decided to do neither, which is working out pretty well for him so far. Friendly faces tend to approach him anyway.

Speaking of which... This girl is definitely familiar. Not just because she stirs his memories, but because she looks similar to someone else he knows. There's something about her features that makes him certain he's seen someone like her. Who was it again

[action]

[seraphgoddess]

[ It was unexpected to see a thoughtful look on Yuan's face when she first approached him. He masked his emotions when it came to her nowadays.

And then there's that frown of guilt. It obviously has something to do with Mithos, his escape to be more specific. A visual of the bloodstains on her brother's clothes appeared. She takes a double take of Yuan and it doesn't seem he was seriously injured. Then again, his pride would never allow himself to show that. She'll just have to ask and maybe poke him at the right spot to find out. ]

He appeared at my doorstep in the middle of the night with bloodstains on his clothes. Do you have an idea what happened?

[action]

[fortunefail]

[Lucky for Yuan, there are no real physical injuries anymore. He gained mostly bruises from his confrontation with Mithos, and whatever wounds there were have since been healed with the aid of some magic. It's his pride that was hurt most of all- a feeling that will only increase once his memories fully return.

He's still looking up at Martel, trying to assess her. She's close to Mithos, that much is certain. He ran straight to her after escaping the tunnel. She must be the person who's most precious to him. His sister... But there was something else. If Yuan traveled with Mithos and Kratos before the creation of Cruxis, surely this woman was there as well. What sort of person was she?]

I don't know if I'm at liberty to say. [It's clear Sheena and Raine informed a few others of what happened. Albert and Dhaos both knew. If they didn't tell Mithos's sister, should he?]

... He didn't explain anything himself?

[wise_maiden]

[With Yuan, it was always wise to make sure that he was still in the place where you asked him to be. Especially in this condition. Raine wondered if she should speak to the doctors specifically to make sure he didn't wander off.

Or she could just take more time out to observe him there herself. It wasn't as if she had too many responsibilities this summer. While she knew he'd get his full memories back eventually, there was no telling how long that would be. And she knew from experience that it was a difficult thing -- and with Yuan, that was thousands of years that all needed to come together.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on. At least he was sitting outside the building.]

Hello, Yuan. How has everything been today?

[fortunefail]

[By now, Yuan's been approached by several people. Some more familiar than others, nearly all of them people he should know. He did know them. Just not enough to fully remember them. Some of the conversations have left him rather startled. Kratos, Dhaos, Martel... What has he been doing those four thousand years leading up to Cruxis's fall? How many people have suffered because of what he and his supposed companions have done? The more he finds out about himself, the less he wants to know.

Seeing Raine again isn't exactly easing his feeling of guilt. He's incredibly ashamed of what happened in those tunnels.]

... Hopeless.

[wise_maiden]

It gets better.

[fortunefail]

... Hm. [Yuan isn't certain if he wants it to get better. Seeing familiar faces has gotten him to remember things, but some of those memories are incredibly disconcerting. Who knows what else lies hidden in those four thousand years?]

[lezareno_prez]

[After hearing from Sheena that Mithos had attacked Raine and Yuan, Regal is a little surprised to see Yuan up and about as he passes by on his way to the bakery. Not that that's a bad thing, just one he wasn't expecting. Still, he's not about to turn down a chance for a conversation, so he smiles and gives the other a brief nod.]

Good morning, Yuan.

[Action] (Oh man I need to learn to read.)

[fortunefail]

[So it's morning and Yuan only just sat down outside the clinic. He hasn't been approached by many people yet, but he's already astounded to see a familiar face this early in the morning.

For now, he'll just give this man a nod in return and try to remember any details. Hmhm... Wasn't his name Bryan? Or Brent? ... Bryant?]

Good morning.

[Action] fff

[lezareno_prez]

[The fact that Yuan happens to be sitting outside the clinic instead of inside it is a good sign, but that doesn't mean he's going to press him for answers or bring up the subject of Mithos right away. If the conversation ends up going in that direction, that's fine, and if not, that's fine too.]

It isn't often I encounter others up this early.

[Action]

[fortunefail]

... I was having trouble resting.

[After spending all of yesterday in the clinic bed, it isn't too surprising he started feeling restless.]
