[Something feels strange. His body feels odd. He rolls out of bed to stretch, but that doesn't seem to help much. His arms feel too heavy, his head a little-- That's odd. His hair's usually in his face by now

[Oh shi-- That won't be a good encounter.

After speaking with Stella, Walter goes looking for Senel in and the perimeter of the village. Part of him can't believe he's doing this. But another feels a strong desire to help Stella out. If he thought about it more, he'd probably be a little unsettled.]

[There is bound to be an inevitable encounter. This thread demands it.

Walter reaches the edge of the forest, looking around while debating going deeper into the forest. He doubts Senel would go out that far without telling Stella something.

But she had mentioned something about sleepwalking. Could he sleepwalk all the way out there?]

[action]

[filial_guardian]

[What was that? Walter turns in the direction that he heard the crunching sound, cautiously moving that way. Most animals were not moving around by this time, so it had to be human...

He thinks he sees a tall figure between the trees.]

[action]

[filial_guardian]

[The smaller figure is tense and surprised, but only for a moment.

And then there's incredulous yelling.]

Vaclav!?

[action]

[filial_guardian]

[Yeah, not listening to you. He's already rushing you, hands bared into fists.]

[action]

[filial_guardian]

[And similarly, Walter's not used to having such a heavy punch. He literally slams his entire body into Vaclav, rolling to one side to steady himself. Wow, no wonder Senel's able to throw those huge monsters.]

[action]

[filial_guardian]

[Walter clenches and unclenches his fists, looking at Vaclav suspiciously. Now that he tries to rationalize this... Where would Vaclav have suddenly come from?]

Then who are you?

[action]

[filial_guardian]

Senel?

[Walter can't decide if this is worse than Senel being stuck in his body.]

Walter.
