DAY 93 - Morning

[loyallygiven]

Ken felt … strange. He woke up restless, feeling as if something were not quite right. Missing. His hands scrambled over the bedside table, where he found his glasses. He sat up and looked around the room. Nothing seemed out of place. Though he wasn’t entirely used to it yet. It felt a bit strange to be here. Maybe that was it

Anissina felt a bit empty today. Her maryoku wasn't notorious for being strong (which is why she often opted for Gwendal or Gunter in her experiments), but it wasn't that she was completely without. But today was different. She was without. Her maryoku meter (How much power can you make-kun) didn't even move when she held it. And that was a device she knew was trustworthy.

Since she didn't have any type of solution, she still had an arsenal of projects to draw from. She took her notebook and some graphite and started around the halls of the castle. The storm was oddly relaxing and she wanted a nice place to relax with a cup of tea and to watch the storm. As she passed the destroyed area, she noticed Ken standing in range of the raindrops.

"I know the rain sometimes feels rather good, but if you remain there, you'll catch your death."

Ken glanced back over his shoulder. He didn't remember this person. No wait. Yes he did. She was the first person he had met upon arriving here with Julia. It seemed so long ago.

He shrugged, and turned to look back up at the sky. "I don't think rain is the thing that will kill me." But wouldn't that be funny, after surviving everything else? To be taken out by drops of water...

But he did, after a moment, step back under the shelter of the unfinished hall. It was cold, and getting colder the longer he lingered. He couldn't really feel his fingers. He glanced over at Anissina, unsure of what to do or say, or if he needed to do anything.

"Um, I'm supposed to be helping. With the wall. But... the storm..." He trailed off with a shrug.

Anissina knew about what happened (though, there weren't many in the castle that didn't at that point.) Though, helping with the reconstruction was probably a good start to some form of penance.

"It might not kill you directly, but if you happen to fall ill due to it, then you won't be able help, then will you? Come inside and join me for some tea." She hadn't had a lot of dialogue with the sage look-a-like, but if he was more relaxed, maybe she could learn what things were truths. After all, she had a large sense of guilt for letting him and Julia into the castle in the first place.

Rain could make you sick? Well, that figures.

He considered her offer, as he looked around for his watchers. He wasn't really sure where he was allowed to wander. They hadn't stopped him so far, but the only place he'd gone was the wall. Did the "house arrest" mean only certain areas, or was he fine as long as he didn't leave the castle? He should have asked for some clarification.

Well, if they had a problem with it, they would speak up, right?

"Um... sure." He was a bit damp, and something warm like tea did sound nice. Though he was hesitant to step out of his comfort zone. Bad things seemed to happen when he found himself alone with other people.
