- 71 [Voice]

[Attentive villagers may have seen bright beams of light originating from the far reaches of the forest, where the mountain range starts. Those beams were a result of this battle, and directly after it's taken place, Yuan has a message to broadcast to the entire village. His voice sounds hoarse and he seems to be out of breath.]

The threat known as Aku... has been defeated. For now... at least. [He stops to cough for a moment.] Once the Malnosso bring him back, there'll be... hell to pay.

[The public message ends with some fumbling sounds.]


[Diana]

I need you to get over here... Immediately. It's an emergency.

[She nods; Svala is hardly squeamish, after all. She runs a powerful empire with a powerful army, and her second son made a steady habit out of getting wounded. Still...depressing.

Not so much that she can ignore Yuan sitting there and trying not to fall over unconscious though.]

I do not wish to be overbearing, but perhaps you should rest.

[fortunefail]

I am resting. [Sort of. He's lying in a bed. Does that count?]

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[No that does not count, but she's not your mom or your girlfriend so she won't push it.]

I see.

[She hesitates for a moment, reaching out to take Kratos' hand gingerly and start doing her vibe thing so he can have a peaceful...um, unconsciousness. Since he doesn't really sleep.]

May I ask why you both attacked Aku?

[fortunefail]

[He'd just closed his eyes again when Svala speaks up again. Ugh, she just had to ask, didn't she?]

He was causing landslides in the mountains. Such great power... Had to be stopped.

I see. [So that was him, huh? She lowers her head into a half-bow.]

Then...you have my gratitude. Thank you.

[fortunefail]

[He sighs, then nods his head in Kratos' direction.] You can tell him that... When he wakes up. [Then he has to stifle another cough.]

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[Whatever bro, not like you weren't involved. She'll be grateful whether you like it or not.]

I shall.

Do you require anything, Sir Yuan?

[fortunefail]

[Suit yourself, woman.]

No, I'm fine.

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[You suit yourself, stubborn man. Svala will hum and remain silent beside Kratos then. Maybe if she doesn't start any conversation with him he'll drift off and rest properly.]
