[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?

[Mayoi thinks for a moment and then turns around, looking down the road she came from]

I walked here by going down this road. So I think you can go back by going down here.

[fallenambitions]

I see. I should be able to find my around, knowing that now. What is your name, so that I may thank you properly.

[chronica]

Hachikuji. Mayoi Hachikuji. Who are you?

[fallenambitions]

Commandant Alexei Denoia of the Imperial Knights...though the title probably means nothing here, simply habit. Thank you kindly for telling me that information, Miss Mayoi. Apologies for keeping this conversation short, but after being taken by the Malnosso...I simply want to rest right now.

Okay then Mr...

[she bites her tongue] Alexeiei Denoiai.

...ah I stuttered. Excuse me...

[when she hears about the Malnosso she becomes more serious]

So...you were one of those people who were kidnapped?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[he chuckles at her attempt to say his name] Alexei will do.

[He nods] I'm not sure for how long I was gone though. What day is it?

[Action]

[chronica]

Okay Mr. Alexei [she'll probably mess it up later, whether it be on purpose or not...]

Today is the 9th. If you don't know how long you were taken for then it must have been a while I'm sure. But still it's good to see you're okay.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

...Yes, quite. [He smiles] The Malnosso are a strange group, keeping so many of us here for their...odd experiments. I wander if the massive population is truly necessary.

[Action]

[chronica]

They probably do it to run sick experiments.

[she clutches herself tightly]

I don't even want them to come close to touching me. If they do I'll definietly bite them.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

If weapons are useless against them, I doubt simply biting them will get you far.

I wonder...How do they choose who to take for their experiments. [He presses a hand over his forehead...all this thinking was not good for his fatigue. He should worry about it later]

[chronica]

I was told I have very sharp teeth though. But I guess that's not enough alone...

[Mayoi thinks for a moment]...Did you get a letter by any chance?
