[Accidental voice]

[The recording starts with a smashing sound, as the journal takes a nice snapshot of the ceiling and part of the underside of a kitchen table. Yuan's voice can clearly be heard nearby. He sounds rather disturbed.]

W-What the hell is this?!


[Action]

[A short while later, Yuan can be seen striding through the village with great haste. Every so often, he stops to cough mildly, before continuing on his way. His hands are buried deeply into his pockets and his gaze is stubbornly locked on the ground before him.

He's headed straight for Raine's house. Feel free to run into him before he gets there.]


Edit: [And after paying a visit to Raine's house, he'll head for Kratos' place. He's a busy man today.]

[Well. Yuan's walking with purpose today.]

You're in a hurry.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[It's amazing how he runs into Sheena whenever he's injured or in some sort of trouble. He's stopped being surprised at it, really.]

Very astute.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[At least one of them attracts trouble.]

Everything okay? [totally heard all this what the helling earlier]

[action]

[fortunefail]

I'm sure it's nothing. [That's obviously why he's going to visit the one healer in the village he trusts most.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Which means no. What happened?

[action]

[fortunefail]

If I knew, it wouldn't be bothering me this much. [He coughs a few times.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[Hmm. She tilts her head as she considers him for a minute or two]

You sound great. Going to talk to Raine? [It can't be Kratos, since his house is in the other direction.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

[He doesn't respond, but the way he lowers his head should be enough of an answer. He did consider going to Kratos, but... Well, he needs a real medic, not some shoddy First Aid.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

...Then you must think you're more than just sick.

[action]

[fortunefail]

It's a precaution. Nothing more.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I guess it pays sometimes to be precautious.

[She does know that's not a word, yes.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

... I suppose.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

I guess I'm just not used to you going for help for just a little cough.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[... Err. Yes. The cough. Let's have her assume that's what the biggest problem is.]

There's a first time for everything.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

With how old you are? Sure, I believe that.

So what else is wrong?

[action]

[fortunefail]

What makes you think something else is wrong?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Because it bothers you enough that you're not trying to hide it or brushing me off.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[Huh. He was under the impression he was hiding it. Is he losing his touch?]

... There's nothing else.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[She meant hiding it like walking around as though nothing was wrong]

I think you're lying.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[He coughs again, then clears his throat.]

I am prone to that, sometimes.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. Like now.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Believe what you will.

[He'll just continue on his way, now. Or try to, anyway. Sheena's free to chase after him.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Maybe you got it from turning into a crazy old man.

[No physical chasing is necessary.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

[That was very effective. He stops walking again and turns to face Sheena.]

What did you say? [He was informed about the "old man" thing, but crazy? Really?]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Then again, I was busy being a crazy spaz from Meltokio and I turned out just fine.

[Because all of her problems came before the Meltokio part.]
