[Action] 008

[fallenambitions]

[After a week of absence, the Malnosso have decided not to drop him where they found him, but somewhere in the northern part of town, unarmed and far from his room. Wonderful. He looked physically all right from a distance, maybe a little malnourished, but he was able to wander through the village without help. Except he kept stopping and looking around, as if he was unable to recall where exactly he was.]

Whole bunch of people have been kidnapped lately. And ... those letters turned out to be a wild goose chase. Though whether accidental or deliberate depends on who you ask.

[Nami knows the always-business type. She used to qualify as one herself, dontcha know. |D She's going to get some really simple sandwich fillings, and then looks Alexei up and down.]

...you don't look too bad. I do know a doctor though, if you think you need one.

[fallenambitions]

Letters...? [Give him a minute to remember] Ah, so the letter I found, others have received it as well?

[...ah, after dealing with the Malnosso, he doesn't want to be examine. So he simply shakes his head]

I believe some rest and food will fix this.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Everyone got one. The portal that turned up ... just dumped people back in Luceti in random places.

[Keeping it simple. And yeah, she thought that might be the case and he is walking by himself.]

All right. I'll make you something to eat, and then I'll leave you alone to rest. Promise.

[fallenambitions]

Another experiment from the Malnosso then.

[Well now they're starting to get annoying. He nods]

Thank you. I appreciate the assistance.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

All right. [Has bag of simple food, will travel.] Lead the way.

[fallenambitions]

...[Well, all right, just this once. He thought about moving anyway after finding out where Raven lives. It'll take a while before they reach Community Building 5. Now we have stairs...great. Well, up to the fourth floor then and to room 14 then. His room was just how he left it...cept that most of the books in the bookshelf had fallen off and the doll he had receive was still missing of course. Papers were still scattered on the desk, journal tossed onto the bed, his small selection of swords on the left wall and still looking surprisingly tidy.]

[She'd make an offer to tidy up, but she's already come to the conclusion that's a bad idea. She'll try not to gawk too much for exactly the same reasons.

Okay. Sit down and try not to fall asleep just yet. I won't be long.

[fallenambitions]

[Please don't. He'll do it himself when he's not feeling out of it. He just nods and sits himself on the bed, deciding he'll look through the journal and read up on a few entries while he waits]

[Making you the most basic of basic sandwiches here, Alexei. If you haven't been eating there's no point making you sick. She's gone quiet again, and will leave Alexei to his journal-reading until she comes back with a sandwich on a plate.]

Here you go.

[fallenambitions]

...[Alexei must have doze off for a moment, because he didn't respond to Nami right away, nor look at her. There will be signs of life when he reaches up to take the plate from her and then a glance.] Thank you. [Eating now. Basic is just fine. Anything's probably taste like heaven right now after what the Malnosso was feeding him anyway.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Heh. Welcome back to Luceti? [...hey look, there was almost no sarcasm there.]

[fallenambitions]

...[he smirks at that] And I didn't think I would ever be glad to be back here.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Better than there.

You gonna be okay if I leave you here?

[fallenambitions]

Yes, I think I'll be able to handle things from here. I'm just tired and sleep will cure that.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

All right. I'll leave the bread there for when you wake up.

[Little mock salute, and she's headed for the door.]
