In the year I've been here, I've never had something like these pains and bouts of insomnia last this long. It's really making me wonder if there's something going on that's bigger than a curse. Aside from that time people had memory lapses a few months ago, every other time something weird like this has happened, it's been because of something

Young Master, do you think there may be something else happening? [Also, he's concerned about Tyr's mention of pains--he doesn't remember ever hearing anything about that.]

[stargathering]

[ He don't need to hear about it any more, either. Tyr nods slowly. ]

There might be... Everything that's happening is too strange to just be a coincidence. It's almost normal to have insomnia for a a couple days, but after this long... I really wonder.

[axeofoath]

[But it's already worrying him! He can't go for long without asking.]

You're right--it's incredibly strange. I was hoping it would end soon, but...Young Master, has anything happened to you? You mentioned pains...

[stargathering]

[ Tyr shakes his head. Why is he always making Gremio worry? Besides the obvious reason that Gremio always worries. ] Nothing serious recently... They're just aches from a healed wound...

[axeofoath]

[Because Gremio does always worry about Tyr. He unconsciously brings his hand to his cheek, although he's mostly been able to ignore the pain.]

But...If it's bothering you, we should try something to ease the pain.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr notices the movement, but doesn't realise it has anything to do with pain he might be experiencing. ]

It's not bothering me that much; it's more an annoyance than anything...

How have you been, Gremio?

[axeofoath]

[Any pain of his is second to what Tyr is experiencing, anyway.]

Me? I--I'm fine, Young Master, but...I've been worried about you. I'd still like to do something to relieve the pain, if possible.

[stargathering]

[ ...Tyr won't fight if that's what Gremio wants. He feels just a bit guilty that he's always making Gremio worry. Even if he's going to make him worry more... ] ...All right. What do you want to try?

[axeofoath]

[Gremio wouldn't want Tyr to be guilty of anything, but he just can't stop worrying.] Well--it's hasn't re-opened, so I'm not certain if healing will work...But it might be worth a try.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr brings the guilt upon himself half the time anyway. Tyr nods. ] We can try, but... I don't want to involve Katara this time, either.

[axeofoath]

[That just makes Gremio worry--it's such a terrible cycle.] Yes, I understand. Shall we ask for Riou's help? Perhaps I can also try an ointment...

[stargathering]

[ It sure is. ._. ] Let's try an ointment. I don't want to put Riou to work after he's just recovered...

[axeofoath]

[S-sob. ;_;] All right, Young Master. I'll see if I have any numbing ointment for you.

[stargathering]

Thanks... If that works, at least we can say if this actually is something physical...

I'll wait in my room.

[axeofoath]

Just wait a moment--I'll be right there.

[Medicines aren't Gremio's specialty, although he has at least some basic knowledge. He locates a simple ointment soon enough and hurries over to Tyr's room.]

I have it here, Young Master! Where are you sore? Shall I apply for you?

[stargathering]

[ Even if Gremio isn't good with medicines, this isn't really about healing for Tyr. It's about making Gremio relax. When Gremio enters, Tyr sits up a bit more straightly on his bed, and... He guesses he could roll up his pant leg that high. He doesn't right now, though. ]

...The same place I was cut back in February... I can get it myself, but... You can do it if you want.
