It seems the experiment is over. Looking back, I can't help but wonder what I was thinking. Seems I'm not the only one who is amazed by the Malnosso's deceptive powers. It's rare to see Kratos lose his temper like that. But even now, a new mystery appears. The Chosen awoke with no memory of being here and her leg has been completely healed. Could she have been replaced by a Colette Brunel from a different timeline? If so, what happened to the Colette who was here before? How will the Malnosso benefit from this? It's unsettling.

Not as unsettling as being stuck in a bed for over a week, though. Nothing to do but reading journals and trying to contact those Filial spirits, in hopes of regaining some lightning magic. No luck so far.

At least there is still one bright side to all this. Now that the experiment is over, I can finally enjoy it to the fullest.

How are you feeling? Have you adapted to Luceti yet? It's hard for some to get used to these wings and the fact that they're unable to get too far away from the village.

I'd like it if you came to visit me again this afternoon. If you're not too busy, that is.

Yuan, I'm fine. Don't worry so much about me.

And what would I be busy doing? Of course I'll come visit you. Right now?

... After what happened, can you blame me for being worried?

Yes, right now would be fine.

Well, it hasn't happened yet in my time, so don't worry!

And I can come now. Just have to figure out which way I'm going...I have a horrible sense of direction.

[ooc:I'm baaack~! With html typos at work. XD]

... That's... fairly illogical. You should be keeping your guard up now that you know it can happen.

If you're in the village, just head in the direction of the forest. The clinics are near the gates, remember?

[[Curse you, work! We have 30 minutes to do some fun RP-in', then.]]

[would be rolling eyes if you could see her] Whatever you say, Yuan...

I remember, I remember...I'm going... [she is now walking through the village, hopefully the right way]

[ooc: I have no clue when I'm leaving...around five my time...11 yours.]

Then, I'll be waiting.

[he puts away his journal and leans back against the bed's headpost, breathing deeply.]

[[OOC: 15 minutes? O_o]]

[pokes her head into the clinic, before practically skipping over to Yuan's bed]

Hello, Yuan! [hugs him and kisses him on the cheek]

[oooc:Yes, about. XD]

[Yuan freezes for a moment at the sudden intimacy, just like last time. After a few seconds, he gets over it and pulls Martel into a strong embrace, burying his face in her hair]

... I missed you.

[[Lawl, I just thought of something. If we stick to that thought that Martel is a virgin, that means... Ahahah! That Yuan is the 4000-year old virgin! XDDD]]

[smiles] I know, Yuan. [slips onto the bed]

How are your legs?

[ooc: Unless Yuan was with Kratos or another chick. XD]

They're... getting better.

[By now, Yuan has regained the feeling in his legs and can jiggle his toes, but that's about it.]

It doesn't matter. They'll heal eventually.

[[OOC: But I wasn't supposed to let myself be influenced by Kratos/Yuan thoughts... Besides, I doubt he'd just go out and find a hooker. Not unless he was extremely drunk and horny.]]

Hopefully they will.

...I heard that the experiment's over. Is it?

[he nods, smiling faintly]

As far as I can tell, all the symptoms have passed.

That's wonderful! [hugs again]

So now what? [tilts her head to one side]

[That question catches him off-guard. However, it's something he'd been thinking about for a while now. Now that he had his fiancée after four-thousand years... what was next?]

I'm... not sure. For me, a very long time has passed. I've committed some terrible crimes during that time, both by listening to Mithos and by going my own way.

[he looks away.]

There's no excuse for what I've done. I claimed it was all for you, but truthfully I knew that you likely wouldn't have agreed. To you, I might seem like the same man I was four-thousand years ago, but I'm not sure if that's true. Even so...

[Yup, he's back to playing with the ring on his finger]

I still love you with all my heart. And perhaps this place has given me a fresh start. I'd... like it if we could pick up where we left off. ... If you'll still have me.

[here she rolls her eyes and lightly hits his forehead with her palm]

Of course I will... You must have really missed me. I was away for you for a few hours and I missed you. [cuddles with him]

[Yuan smiles sadly. If it wasn't for the fact that he'd seen Luceti pull plenty of weird shit already, he'd be sure he was dreaming and Martel wasn't there at all. He pulls her closer, sighing deeply]

You have no idea.

I probably don't. You must have missed me... a lot. [she sounds a bit nervous but is still clinging to him]

Four-thousand years is a long time.

[He gently runs a hand through her hair]

But as long as the Malnosso don't interfere, we have all the time in the world now. That's what matters.

[sighs, realizing he must not get it]

All the time in the world, huh? If you say so, Yuan... [knows that he'll get impatient after a while]

[Yuan did get what Martel was talking about. However, four-thousand years of self-control have taught him how to keep his pants on. Besides, so what if he has to wait? No matter how long, it won't beat those years of loneliness and he knows it'll be worth it.]

I do say so. Trust me.

[He continues to stroke Martel's hair, resting his cheek on the top of her head.]

[raises eyebrow]

You seem to have a lot of faith in yourself, Yuan. [shrugs, hugging him back] I guess if you do, I will too.

[he closes his eyes]

I'd do anything to make you happy. You know that, right?

Well, that's silly. What if it hurts you or something? I'm not worth that... [looks away]

Of course you are. You mean the world to me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live this long. I would've just... ended it a long time ago.

[grips Martel's shoulder a bit tighter]

Oh, don't say that, Yuan! ...[makes a decision and kisses Yuan, pushing him down on the bed with her on top]
