In which Cecile is approached by Colton, informing her that she can no longer avoid the assignment that which she agreed to carry out so many weeks ago...
Colton: *approaches the young guard captain at her post* Ah, Miss Cecile...do you remember that little favor I asked of you?
Cecile: Ah--? *turns around* Sir Colton!!! *salutes* How lovely to see you! ......
.....Oh.
Colton: *smiles at her* Yes...we had a nice window of oppotunity, but alas, we missed it. However, I believe we must go get the item soon as I heard there is a calling of the zombies soon.
Cecile: *flails* There is something I've been meaning to tell you!! You see, I did try to get to the infirmary, but--*glances around wildly for eavesdroppers, then lowers her voice* I was afraid Sir Mathiu left evil zombie spells around the infirmary. Why else would Sir Landis refuse to visit for treatment the other day?? He's terribly in-tuned to the supernatural, so he must have known!!
Colton: *gasps* Goodness! We must go immediately, then! We cannot have Master Mathiu turning into a zombie because of that device! Can you go with me now? I'll keep him busy and you get it.
Cecile: *salutes* I will accompany you!! Anything to keep Budehuc safe! You just lead the way and I will be by you with my spear ready!!!
Colton: *salutes her back* All right, then, let's go!
Karthur37: ((assume they are now in front of the infirmary?))
LAC768: ~*time passes*~
LAC768: (Now they are. XD)
Colton: *opens the door to the infirmary and goes inside, holding the door behind him for Cecile*
Cecile: *holds up her shield and enters cautiously, avoiding a creaky floorboard* ....Now what should I do, Sir Colton?
Colton: *whispers to her* Go...look for the item. You remember what I said it looks like, right?
Cecile: I...think so. I doubt there can be anything else that looks like it, so I shouldn't mistake something else. *nods grimly*
Colton: *whispers* Good. I'll keep Mathiu busy.
Colton: *calls into the clinic* Doctor? Doctor?
Cecile: *slips past Colton and ducks under a countertop, shuffling past jars of salve and rolls of medical gauze*
Mathiu: *appears from his apartment in the back of the infirmary, rubbing his eyes* Yes? What's wrong?
Colton: *walks towards him, attempting to corner him in the back so Cecile can search* Ah...just the man I wanted to see...I am in need of some medicine...*begins to speak in low tones to Mathiu*
Cecile: *finds a suspicious-looking bottle of salve and nearly drops it, barely muffling a squeak of surprise*
Mathiu: *continues talking to Colton even though his words do not fully carry, his tone is slightly suspicious*
Cecile: *finding nothing, she turns her attention to the bed nearby and pulls out box from underneath, rumaging through old papers before finding the object in question buried at the bottom wrapped in paper* --!!
Karthur37: ((under Mash's bed?))
LAC768: (Sure--that's where most people seem to hide things that are most important....? :D;; )
LAC768: (Although, that poor bed has suffered quite a bit. XD;; )
Karthur37: ((yes))
Mathiu: *notices the rustling and turns around* What's going---
Colton: *whacks the doctor on the back of the head with the pommel of his sword*
Cecile: O_____O *pops up, thinking it was Colton who was decked, then gapes in horror* S-Sir Colton~!!!
Mathiu: *falls to the ground with a thud*
Colton: Cecile, shh!! He'll be all right! We mustn't tell anyone! We are saving him from the zombies!! He won't understand until he wakes up and the zombie piece is destroyed!
Karthur37: ((yea, Mash doesn't put up much of a fight))
Cecile: ;__; I...well, *takes a deep breath* When Sir Mathiu wakes up, he will be all better and no longer a zombie, so this is the right thing to do. *hands Colton the package and delicately steps over Mathiu*
Colton: *takes the package with a grin* Good work, Commander Cecile!
Cecile: *salutes half-heartedly, trying to ignore the nagging feeling in the back of her head* Can't we at least make him a bit more comfortable so that when he wakes up un-zombified he won't have a sore back?
Colton: I'll take care of that. You go on back to your post.
Karthur37: ((which, of course he won't.))
LAC768: (Haha.... :D;;; )
Cecile: ....I....well, okay!! *casts Mathiu one last glance, then nods and runs out of the room, her armor clanking*
Colton: *gives Mathiu a nasty kick, a small amount of blood coming from his head* Thanks for all the trouble you caused me, Doc
