[The quiet of Zelores is going to be interrupted by someone screaming like a little girl somewhere in town. Now we'll have an Alexei, wandering the streets, looking thoroughly confused as to where he was and looking around franctically for something. His hand grasps the front of his coat. Adding to the look of confusion he had, it looked like he

...!

[Oh those movements are definitely familiar. He knows his body well enough to recognize that Alexei to be his. This is very weird to be seeing himself, but now's not the time to be worrying about that! Here she comes, a quickening in her step with urgency]

Lady Estellise! [damn, this sounded very messed up.]

[illfatedsoul]

The first glyph...?

What's the -- Ouch! -- the first glyph?

[insipid_poison]

Oh, it's just the first few lines of the formula. Symbols end up not functioning properly over time if it isn't maintain. [this, for some reason is a lot easier to do when he's not in his body]

[illfatedsoul]

[ Estelle/Alexei sits quietly, with only a faint wince once or twice. ]

So ...that's what was causing those spasms...

You have to maintain this yourself? Rita wou- [ Eh, actually Rita probably wouldn't. Yet Estelle wonders if Alexei did this sort of thing in front of a mirror to see what he was doing. or perhaps that would be confusing with everything reversed. ]

[insipid_poison]

Rita might, but I choose to do this myself. It's my own invention, so I know it the best...besides, I don't want people knowing about it.

[annnd he's finished. Estelle shouldn't feel anymore pain now.]

[illfatedsoul]

[ Waiting, waiting, waiting... not a single spasm, and hey, breathing easier now too. ]

That's better. Thank you, Es -- Alexei.

[ At least that's ONE good thing in light of being ambush-kissed D: Remind her to get the mouthwash later. ]

[insipid_poison]

...You're welcome. It's cold, so you should put your coat back on. [Alexei's feeling a little out of it right now, but he's all right.] I request that you don't mention my blastia heart to anyone. Can you do that for me?

[illfatedsoul]

[ Estelle glances down at said blastia heart, slowly slipping the coat back on. Alexei must hate people knowing about it the way Schwann did. ]

... Yes, I promise I won't tell anyone. Are... you okay?

[insipid_poison]

[he's more concern about people taking advantage of him if they knew, with his horrible record.]

Yes, I'm fine. This whole ordeal is just...tiresome.

[illfatedsoul]

[ Ah yes, that might be problematic as well. (Might?) Mrrh, Cold. ]

... tell me about it. Although tiresome isn't what I would call it...

[insipid_poison]

I only hope that this isn't permanent. [Alexei secretly doesn't have a problem in Estelle yet. Sure, she's a girl, but it felt nice not having to rely on a Blastia Heart. It's really Estelle that he's concern about]
