W-What... Why are so many clothes in my room?
[Look, Luceti, seems the Malnosso have brought another New Feather despite things being so hectic now. The journal won't be showing much in terms of image, just a shoot of a room, some familiar with it may recognize it as the SOS Brigade Headquarters from what's seen on the walls but that's all as the

Adell's been fighting for most of the time this has been going on, stopping only for healing, eating, and sleeping when he can barely stand anymore. So he's out fighting not too far from the Brigade HQ, dealing with a small wave of brigands wielding axes. As he dispatches the last of them, Luka's scream reaches his ears, and he quickly turns to its location.
What does he see but some poor girl in a New Feather dress fleeing from a big monster with teeth and intent to kill? Without an instant's hesitation, Adell charges for the monster to punch it away from the girl and divert its attention to him.]

Still, it's not impossible to die in a dream, a nightmare could produce a shock strong enough to produce a heart attack even to a young person. It's indeed possible to "die from fear". And even if it wasn't she doesn't want to dream about being eaten or killed. Unfortunately she's never been good at running, it's a miracle that Adell arrives at the moment he does, because the girl had just tripped and fell to the ground, leaving the behemoth a delicious snack. At least until Adell appears not that she has really noticed it yet, that tripping hurt.]

So with a snarl, it attempts to lash out and bite Adell, an attack he sidesteps and punishes with another blow to the side of its face. He spares a brief look back to the girl as the creature reels.]
Hey! You okay?!
[But then he turns back to the monster as it recovers. It's surprisingly tough, but he knows it's nothing he can't handle.]

Adell's voice gets her by surprise, she turns around, searching for him and for the reason why she wasn't a monster's dinner yet... Is that a person or a monster? He's fighting the monster almost on equal terms! It's... It's like one of those video-games, she has never played them but sometimes she saw them on the television or the mall. Is that what her dream is about? IS she dreaming with being inside a video-game and this guy is the hero that has come to save her?
She's just going to stay there, sitting on the ground, staring at the fight in shocked disbelief and screaming if it seems the behemoth is about to give Adell a hard time. She doesn't know where to go anyway, and she's in shock still.]

And being right in its face gives him virtually no time to move. So its tackle looks like it's about to succeed...
Until Adell jumps up and stomps on its head in mid-attack, which sends it into the dirt rather ungracefully.]

She's just going to scream and scramble backwards a bit as an unconscious reaction to try to put more distance between her and the fight.]

Just! [A blow lands...] Stay! [Followed by another...] Down! [And then the third is the coup de grace, Adell throwing more of his strength behind it and knocking the creature limp... before it vanishes into a flash of light.]

He relaxes himself, there's not much time to waste, but he's gotta get her to calm down first. With that he'll draw closer to the girl, keeping his presence as non-threatening as possible. If she lets him get close enough, he'll kneel down beside her.
His voice is calm, and he tries to sound soothing. Well, as much as a guy who just beat a monster to death with his bare hands can be soothing, at least.]
Hey... don't worry. You're safe now. Are you hurt at all?

Why isn't she waking up yet?
Luka shakes her head, still covered with her hands, trying to wake up, trying to not look at that guy... He just beat a monster with his own hands, he probably looks scary too, covered in blood or something.]
M-My back hurts...
[And she's a bit scrapped from tripping before but nothing serious.]

You'll be all right. Doesn't look like he got you. The back pains... well, they're really quite normal at first.

N-Normal? Why do you say that?

Adell fans out his white wings a bit, hopefully allowing her to see them.]
...These. Don't be afraid, though. You're not dead, you're not an angel now, but... we all have them here.

W-Wha.... W-Why do I?!!! What... I don't like this dream!!
[What did you say about not being afraid? She's not heard that.]

I know this might be really scary to hear. But I need you to try to be strong and listen to me, okay?
