[Written/Action] 018

[...Someone is slowly regaining consciousness and finding himself someplace he hasn't seen for god knows how long. Alexei has been tossed back into Luceti, left sitting up against a building near the barracks, where he had been previously taken. It's probably a community building. Once he could feel his arm, he presses his hand against his forehead. He had this horrible headache, and it was making it difficult for him to focus or even move. Any sort of movement just felt disorientating.

So rather then battle against it, he'll just sit there for a moment and hope it'll soon pass. He may as well just look through the journal and say-...he frowsn, deciding to write instead.]

Can someone tell me what today's date is?

...[Silence is all Mayoi's going to get from him. Maybe just telling her the building will do. He'll just tear out a piece of paper in the journal and writes down CB7 for her.]

...Why won't you just tell me?

[...he shakes his head. Because he can't]

......Are you giving me the cold shoulder, because you're angry at me? [she doesn't really get it yet]

[Pff, he shakes his head and tries to say something. Only no sound was heard when he mouths the word "No".]

So you're not? Then...[she hums, thinking.]...was it the Malnosso?

[He nods. Feeling his headache subsiding a little, he decides to try and stand again. More success this time around.]

Hmm. So no speaking. [well with the journal verbal communication isn't a must, but in person it's a bit harder] Well...don't worry, Alexei! I'll help you through this, just like you helped me. [she grabs his hand and starts to pull him] Let's go to my place and we'll think of ways to solve this!

...? [Headtilt. He shakes his head in a gesture to say that it's not necessary]

I insist! If you go back home then they might come back for you again. [she keeps on pulling him, not going very far at all with it. Damn his body weight being twice her own, not to mention the obvious height difference]

[He roughly pulls away from her, but then ends up leaning up against the wall for support. W-Well, he thought he could handle things himself, maybe not. ]

See! You need help Alexei. Don't be so stubborn! [she takes his hand again and tries to support him the best that she possibly can] Just stay with me for one day, so you can get back your strength!

...[Knights are just stubborn. After thinking it over, he reluctantly decides to listen to Mayoi's request, letting himself be pulled this time. It's just for a day, right? And it'll get her off his case later.]

[when she finally feels her light pulls working, she brightly beams him a smile. poor Alexei.] That's the spirit! Don't worry, I won't let your inability to speak be a bother. In fact, I can be a wordless translator for you.

[He smiles faintly and shakes his head. He waves the journal at her. Long as he has something to write on, he'll be fine.]

You can't just write when you're in front of people, Alexei. It looks weird and it takes too long. [she shakes her head] Don't worry, I'll help you out in all aspects of verbal communication!

[He sighs, giving her a skeptical look. He's not so sure if that plan would work. Not like she really knew how he thinks]

[And so she'll take that as a sigh of fatigue] Don't worry, I know you're tired, but my home is just a little walk after we cross the bridge. You can settle into one of the few spare rooms and regain your strength. If you have anyone who you might want to talk to then you can tell me and I can bring them to the house and translate for you.

...[Well, she seems determine to help here and doesn't look like anything he tries to express is getting through, since he can't talk. He'll just shrug. Do whatever]

[Will do! A bit of flashforwarding later and they're at Mayoi's house.] You can take any of the four rooms in here to stay for the night. Just a question though - do you remember anything from the kidnapping? Like what happened, who you were with, what day it was, or anything.

[...He forgot that Mayoi lived alone. He slowly shake his head, and then writes something "Happen near the end of last month".]

Last month. [she thinks. Last time she saw him was when they were cleaning the bakery.] Wow...that is a long while. Don't they usually happen for a couple weeks. [She kind of feels bad for nearly not noticing his absence.] Well no wonder you were hardly able to stand on two feet. But, don't worry. By tomorrow I'll make sure you can compete in a marathon stretching all across Luceti and even get in first place! Provided you are the only racer however.

[He simply smiles, with a nod. When they enter the house, he's going to find the closest room and collapse on it...well sit on it at least. Kind of rude to just fall asleep like that.]

[she giggles a little. He was so obviously tired, but it looked like he was just trying to deny himself of it.] I'm going to make something to eat. Do you want some soup or a sandwich or maybe some spaghetti?

[He'll write it down for her. "Soup". Something easy to go down and then he can rest right afterwards]
