Cray: *is sitting out in his usual spot in the woodland near the castle. Propped up against a large tree and reading a book*
Nina: *tiptoes towards him and waits, observing him from behind a tree*
Cray: *doesn't hear her and continues reading*
Nina: *slinks even closer*
Cray: *snaps the book shut suddenly then yawns*
Nina: *trots over to him* Hello Sir Cray!
Cray: *Raises a brow* Uhm hi... Nina, wasn't it?
Nina: That's me! How are you?
Cray: I'm fine... yourself? *Slips the book on his coat pocket*
Nina: I'm just great! I...umm...I came to see you!
Cray: Oh really? What is it you want?
Nina: *pulls a small package out of her cloak* Happy Christmas! I'm your Secret Santa!!!
Cray: Oh... Thanks. *takes the package and unwraps it*
Nina: *claps as he opens it* It's a gentleman's grooming set! See...it has a comb, nail clippers and a nose hair trimmer! It'll make you look pretty!!!!
Cray: *eyes the set* Uhm.... Thanks. *sweatdrop* But I dont have nosehairs.... and I dont even have nails on one hand
Nina: *very fast, as if she's nervous he doesn't like it* Yes you do! You have nose hairs! And you can use the clippers on your toes, too! And...and...there's a file too!
Cray: ... alright.... It's Great, thanks.^^;;
Nina: Yay! Now you can be pretty and not get the UGLY!
Cray: "The Ugly?" Gee I didn't know ugly Was Contagious....
Nina: It is! It's a DISEASE!
Cray: Right.... That's some Theory.
Rekion: *Walks over to them* I've been hanging with ol' ugly features for some 30 years, and I never got "The Ugly"
Nina: *shushes at him* No, no, you don't hve it. But I've see others with it. It makes them zombies.
Rekion: *Sniggers*
Cray: ... So who DOES have it then?
Nina: Oh! There's at least one confirmed case at the castle!!!
Cray: oh? and that is?
Nina: *looks around warily and then whispers* Mathiu. The doctor. He's a ZOMBIE.
Cray: He didn't seem undead to me...
Nina: He says he's dead. And...and...he's always creeping around...and he's mean...and...Cecile says he is!
Cray: I wouldn't listen to Cecile, she thinks everyone's a Zombie. And Mathiu only THINKs he's dead.... his brain's up arse...
Nina: Why think you're dead, though?
Cray: I don't really know. I could go around thinking I was dead too, because the last memories I have of the original time I belong in are of me dying.... Maybe mathiu is the same.
Nina: So...maybe he really is dead then. Like I said. Don't catch the UGLY from him!!!
Cray: yeah but... I was burned alive, and I remember seeing my flesh just burning off me.... and I'm alive.... *shrugs* but whatever....
Nina: Ew!!! That's disgusting!!!
Cray: Damn right it was, and painful too... But look at me now, I'm perfectly fine, no burnt away flesh.... and not even a burn mark anywhere....
Nina: *looks at him in awe* So...can you cure the UGLY?
Cray: I don't know... "The Ugly" Isn't a confirmed Disease, it's just your own assumption... I may be an Alchemist but I cant create a cure for something non-existant
Nina: You're an alchemist!? Maybe you could find out if its real!
Cray: I could already tell you it's not....
Nina: but are you SURE!?!?!?
...that girl ain't right.
