In the year I've been here, I've never had something like these pains and bouts of insomnia last this long. It's really making me wonder if there's something going on that's bigger than a curse. Aside from that time people had memory lapses a few months ago, every other time something weird like this has happened, it's been because of something

Pains?

...You saw what happened when I asked the deities for my equipment and research, remember? I wouldn't count on them too much.

...I've just had some leg pain from an old injury lately.

I remember that, but your materials all returned to your own language eventually, too. They're still usable for the most part, aren't they?

That's what's been going on lately? [She might have asked if it wasn't just in Tyr's head, but she remembers Yuri doubling over in battle when he wasn't injured.]

Yeah, eventually. They weren't usable right away, though.

[ Haha, Tyr does think it's all in his head... ] It's not really a big deal; it's just strange when you add it up with everything else that's been happening.

[ Tyr nods. ] So it wasn't like you were completely cheated... What did you give them in return?

It's been on my mind; I wanted to say something.

All right, all right. You better treat me well when my birthday comes.

Young Master, do you think there may be something else happening? [Also, he's concerned about Tyr's mention of pains--he doesn't remember ever hearing anything about that.]

[stargathering]

[ He don't need to hear about it any more, either. Tyr nods slowly. ]

There might be... Everything that's happening is too strange to just be a coincidence. It's almost normal to have insomnia for a a couple days, but after this long... I really wonder.

[axeofoath]

[But it's already worrying him! He can't go for long without asking.]

You're right--it's incredibly strange. I was hoping it would end soon, but...Young Master, has anything happened to you? You mentioned pains...

[stargathering]

[ Tyr shakes his head. Why is he always making Gremio worry? Besides the obvious reason that Gremio always worries. ] Nothing serious recently... They're just aches from a healed wound...

[startraveling]

Pains? ... And insomnia? Tyr, you too? [This face forever. Tyr didn't mention anything about those, though. But Ted does feel a bit of pain here and there, not that he's also gonna mention that.]

[stargathering]

[ ...He really should have watched his words. Tyr shakes his head. ] No, Katara and Luc. Katara's had insomnia and visions, and Luc hasn't been able to sleep either... Remember?

[startraveling]

I see. I thought you're having them, too. [Which really doesn't ease his worry.] But, about those pains... Have you been feeling them ever since all these started? [You know, the insomnia and all.]

[stargathering]

[ ...Stop being so intuitive, Ted. He only rubs his sore leg sometimes. ...Subtly. Tyr sighs. ] I still can't keep anything from you... Yeah, I've had them for about that long... It's not anything you need to worry about, though.

Tyr, what do you mean 'pains'? Are you okay? [She really can't mask the worry in her voice.]

[stargathering]

[ But Tyr can pretend that there's nothing wrong. ] Of course I am. I'm not injured or anything... I was speaking in general...

[drizzlinginside]

[Can you keep on pretending with this face? :<] But... are you feeling any pains?

[stargathering]

[ He sure can. ] They're not real, Katara...
