*Ran has been slipping in and out of lucidity and consciousness for a while, spiking fevers on occasion. It seems at last, however, that they've managed to get things under control. She is, if you should visit her, still pretty weak, but alive at least. The hat she had been wearing is gone now, too tainted to be of any further use. At some point, somebody seems to have slipped her old one by her bedside, though.

Still, the nurses assure you that as long as you don't stress her, you can visit her. Will you take this opportunity to do so?*

I was... working. But it seems I was too close to one of the tainted wells when the worst of the taint suddenly began to spew forth. I only just made it back.

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, then it's a miracle that you made it back in your condition.

It's a relief, too.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Ah... thank you. It brings me comfort to hear you say that, Sir Ky.

*A bit of a blush there!*

Thankfully, the only magic I had been utilizing had been the gift given to me by Confuto Ordinatio for my work during the invasion a few months back. I am afraid the gift is... rather unsalvageable at this point, however.

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

What was the gift? I'm afraid I can't remember.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

It was, ah, a hat. One that allowed transformations. I would have liked to have gotten more use out of it, I will admit...

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

A hat that allowed transformations...were you using that to travel incognito?

*She hesitates for a moment, as if uncertain whether to confirm or not, then simply nods.*

...Oh, that reminds me. I found the bottle you arrived with. I assumed it was a sample of the tainted mana, so I ran it over to R&D. A bill to evacuate people from Aethr based on a priority set has been passed, and with it came a diversion of funding to finding a method to negate, if not reverse, the effects of the corruption.

So it reached good hands. ...that is a relief.

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

For now, all we can do is hope they make a breakthrough.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

I probably don't need to tell you this, but rest for now. Don't overexert yourself.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

I will try. It is hard for me to watch you all working so hard while I lay around doing nothing, however.

Try telling yourself that you'll be able to help better once fully healed than you would in your current state, and thus should devote all of your energy to healing.
