Case 17 [Video]
[Its been nine days since Galahad left, and Hanna looks a little worse for wear. Its kind of obvious his sleeping schedule is off, due to the bags under his eyes, and he really needs to brush his hair and tidy himself up a bit. And its about now that he wishes he could use magic just so he could give himself a good nights sleep

You are always welcome to visit, Hanna. I am afraid I can do little more than chat at the moment - I am busy with a project - but it would please me to see you and speak a while.

[She's been fixing up her flavored water and a plate of crunchy, flat bread called 'crackers', when she hears the door. She hurries toward it. But the events of the previous day keep her from pulling it open as readily as she is wont to.]
Hanna? Is that you?
Reply
[Giving a nod even if she can't see it, he smiles at the closed door.]
Yes ma'am!
Reply
[Hearing his voice on the other side, she smiles and opens the door, stepping aside so he can enter.]
It is good to see you, Hanna!
[And once she's got the door closed and locked, she wraps her arms around him.]

[Hanna hugs back despite the awkwardness he feels inside. The scarf still makes him feel awful, because he wasn't there for her and really, hadn't been paying attention to much the past week or so. He missed so much, especially truly important things.]
Hey, um...I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you or anything...are you feeling alright?
Reply
Hanna, there was nothing you could have done. The fault lies with the one who attacked me, not with anyone else.
[Why did people keep apologizing to her?]
I am - better, today. The pain is less, and I can move my neck without it hurting too much. Riku tended to it yesterday evening, and Lady Unohana has shown me what I must do to keep tending to it.
Reply
[He really does feel bad about Aang too. There might have been something he could have done to prevent it if he had actually been paying attention.]
Thats good. If I could use runes, I would try and numb it for you, but that'll have to wait. But I'm sure you'll be fine in no time, and They were decent enough to put it somewhere easily hidden.

You are very sweet, Hanna.
[And after a moment, she steps back, dropping her arms so she can take his hands instead.]
Now, refreshment first, and then we shall get to work. The project is barely begun, but I think it is well begun, and there is much to do.

I don't think so, you're the one that is sweet. Really.
[He is excited to see what she's working on though, so he's all ready to be led.]
Reply
There is no rule saying that we may not both be sweet. So my assessment stands.
[She won't take food or drink near her project, so he'll have to wait a bit. She leads him into the kitchen, where she's put the crackers and water.]
Sooner or later, I shall catch one of the milk cows and be able to offer something more than simple water.
[She sits at the table, and waits until he is seated before holding out the tray of crackers for him.]
Reply
[He grins at the idea of her chasing a milk cow, but none the less, it would be a good idea to have one.]
we could set a trap for it when I get my runes working again. But the water is fine. I kind of forget to drink it since its not as easy to get the stuff around here.
[Sitting, he takes a cracker, thinking a moment.]
Hey, do you know how to cook fish and stuff?
Reply
Can your runes do such a thing? It would be most convenient to have a milk cow. And perhaps a few of the chickens which lay omelets on occasion, in addition to eggs. It would certainly be much better for Bubbles to have milk. Children need milk until they are old enough for wine.
[She looks up from her own cracker.]
I have learnt, as Ray's dragon has proven an excellent fisherman. We have added fish to our diet of rabbit and soups. Why do you ask?
