[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

[Mayoi is walking around the village herself, exploring the area or possibly misreading directions back to her home. She notices Alexei and looks at him confused. He obviously doesn't look very good.]

[She comes up to him suddenly and looks up to his face from the bottom of his tall figure, without saying a word, examining him quietly with her eyes]

...[He stops when she came into view...which actually took him a while to realize she was even there. He looked tired and worn, and probably didn't want to be bothered by someone he didn't know, but he'll speak to her regardless, as if nothing was wrong.] Is there something you want, child?

[she continues to stare up at him, almost in a daze of sorts.]

.........

[but finally she speaks up, snapping from a trance of sorts]

Are you lost?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

...Perhaps. I don't believe I've ever been through this part of town, because nothing looks familiar. In what direction are the shops?

[mikangirl]

[...yeah, hi Alexei. Nami's going to ...stop in her tracks when she sees you. Not actually sure what to say, but why does he look so confused? Approaching carefully, now.]

Alexei?

[fallenambitions]

[A little disorientated is more like it. Now he recognize that voice and looks to Nami. A familiar face. He looked exhausted from doing...whatever he had been doing during the week long absence. The most he could tell Nami at the moment was-] ...They came.

[mikangirl]

...I know. I heard.

You need a hand?

[fallenambitions]

Heh, just tell me where exactly the shops are located. I can find my way back to my room from there. [No, he doesn't feel like mentioning he might be catching something. Just tired that's all, tired.]

[fallenambitions]

[Irk, spot on with that, but he's just hiding that fact rather well and addresses Xaldin] Only slightly disorientated and tired. Nothing that a night's rest can't cure.

[crisis_rain]

[Raven is hiding behind a snowman, watching you.]

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei's too tired to care he had someone stalking him or even realize he had someone trailing him. If he's not going to let himself be known, then he won't be bother...unless uh, Raven tries to attack him or something. That will definitely get a response. So Alexei will just continue on his way through town...except he really didn't seem to know where he was going. He kept stopping whenever the road splits, trying to recall which way led to what way.]

[crisis_rain]

[Raven will just be following Alexei like a ninja for now. He's noticed that he looks quite pale and tired, Raven starts wondering what might've happened to him. Alexei is a tough nut to crack as it is, something bad must've gone down for him to end up so fatigued.]

[fallenambitions]

[Shit went down for a good 2 weeks man. Why weren't the Malnosso kind enough to drop him back in the same place they took him? His room? He continues down along a path and hopes it'll take him to the central part of the village...he could get himself back to the Community building from there. He likes to believe he could stay conscious long enough to get back, but all this wandering and being unable to figure out where he was exactly, was taking a toll on his already tired self.]

[gomugomunopwn]

[He's not sure whether to trust Alexei or not still, but he hasn't seen him around and he looks a little disoriented so Luffy's just going to see if the guy's alright.]

Oi! ...You ok?

[fallenambitions]

[Does his tired expression answer that question for you?] ....Hello, Luffy. I'm just tired after the Malnosso finish having their fun with me.

[gomugomunopwn]

...They kidnapped you?

So that's where you've been...

[fallenambitions]

[He nods] They did. Can you tell me in what direction the central part of the village is? I'm having a difficult time finding my way there from here.
