Day 53, Mid-morning

[grumpygwen]

Gwendal woke up after a safe night in his double's quarters, surprised that Anissina didn't hunt him down.

Feeling refreshed, if not a little anxious, he made his way cautiously through the palace corridors, on his way to the kitchens.

Comments

She had woken up bright and early to help out in the clinic, but it seemed like everytime she tried to heal someone, another nurse was there too take over. They were going to exhaust themselves, trying to keep her from getting tired.

She has more healing maryoku in her pinky than the lot of them put together! Fragile, she is not.

Oh well. They just care too much. And about someone they don't even really know. It is sweet. Really, it is. But she isn't at all used to being treated like she's helpless.

She will try again later, but for now a late breakfast sounds like a delightful way to take her mind of her frustration. She reaches the door just as a tall, dark stranger does. My, they grow them handsome in these parts!

"Oh, hello there."

[grumpygwen]

Gwendal had noticed someone else was approaching the door, and since he couldn't feel his insides twisting knew it wasn't Anissina, so he ignored the presence.

Until...

"Oh, hello there."

He turned to greet the female voice and stared for a long moment before he could find words, his shock too great. Was this Suzanna Julia? Wait, Suzanna Julia, Conrad's old love and Yuuri's soul's previous holder had returned, but her eyes were different.

This woman had light behind her blue eyes, not the glazed white look of a blind person. "Hello," he replied with a slight nod of his head. "You must be the Lady Wincott of another world."

Her normally bright smile beams even brighter. "It is such a treat to meet someone who figures that out right away! It is so awkward to tell people that I'm neither dead nor blind when I first meet them."

Laughing lightly, she pushes the door open for the both of them and slips in first. "My nickname is Zan. It comes from the Suzanne part.

"So, what is your name?" Other than cutie patutie!

[grumpygwen]

He followed her inside the kitchens. He's someone surprised that she doesn't know who he is. "Gwendal von Walde I run this place, how could you have not known that!!!!???."

Servants are busy preparing breakfast for late arrivals, such as himself and Zan. One of the servants spots him and hurries to him, bowing quickly. "Sir von Walde, what would you like for breakfast this morning?"

Gwendal gestures towards the woman at his side. "Whatever it is Lady Wincott would like," he answers. It is then that he realizes he doesn't know this Zan, hopefully she doesn't order something hideous. It was always difficult to tell with these other-worlders.
