Eight [Action]

[bandana_blue]

[Just outside the village is what appears to be a New Feather. At least, the person is dressed like a New Feather, but there isn't much of New Feather behavior. He isn't asleep, he isn't bewildered - in fact, he looks really, really bad

[you'd better be happy someone patrols around at night these days]

...Hey. Hey, can you hear me?

[bandana_blue]

[Oh he is happy. Of course, he's more happy to be away from those guys, or he will be once he's not feeling like every part of his body is twisting in pain.]

nnghh... who're you?

[corrinesbell]

I'm Sheena. [well, if we're trying for pleasantries] Who're you? Can you get up?

[bandana_blue]

[Sorry Sheena, he's going into a small seizure as he starts to answer. It only last for about three seconds, and at this point it obviously doesn't startle him. Getting up is not in the cards.]

L... Locke Co... R'turner...

[And Celes has very much been out hoping that he would be returned though she does return home nightly. And when she sees someone who looks hurt, she definitely runs over to help the person.

And when she sees who it is, and how badly he's injured, no, it's not a good thing. She's pretty much both angry and depressed, but tries to keep the feelings inside, because she needs to remain calm if she's going to get him home and help him.

She's not completely successful, a few tears do escape her, but at least she's mostly quiet as she walks up to him. Really, if anything, she blames herself that he was allowed to get this way.

She bends down beside him and casts Cura because obviously Cure isn't going to be enough. What she wants to tell him can wait until they are home safely.]

[Terra heads into range, still unable to rest and that means more wandering. All thoughts of a peaceful nighttime stroll are swiftly ended upon seeing Celes by a prone figure and she gasps upon recognizing him.]

Locke!

[She rushes over as quickly as she can toward the pair.]

[bandana_blue]

[He hears the footsteps vaguely; his perception's definitely fucked for the time being, and his vision is pretty blurry. But oh goddess the magic, the magic makes things better - not all the way, not nearly, but his ears stop ringing so much and his muscles relax somewhat, the burns fading. They're suspiciously small and circular, all the same size. Unfortunately, he doesn't recognize the voice right away.]

'o's there?

[preciousgeneral]

[The fact that Locke doesn't recognize them is really going to concern Celes. They were definitely the ones he'd be the most happy to see. But then, she's heard of people returning in all sorts of states.

She was just going to have to figure out what sort of state Locke was returned in, and if he was lacking in memories, well she was going to be finding a way to hurt the Malnosso.]

It's Celes and Terra.

[And since her magic seemed to help, but not completely, he's going to get more. And then she looked over at Terra.] We should get him home quickly.

[Though really, he probably needs the clinic, but honestly, Celes isn't willing to have him so far away. Not unless that is absolutely necessary.]
