- 85 [Action]

[fortunefail]

[It's been two days since Yuan was returned from his most recent kidnapping and did something very stupid. His memories are still as faulty as the moment when he returned, though he has been filled in on the basic situation by now. The real situation, and not some garbled version his mind might concoct at the moment.

Thanks to this state, he's allowed himself to be tricked by some evil little madman and hurt an innocent person. Not to mention that ridiculous assumption he jumped to when he saw Sheena. What if something like that happens again? Raine advised him to stay in the clinic until the kidnap effect wears off, but he's far too restless for that. Magical amnesia or not, Yuan will be Yuan.

Now he's sitting outside the plaza clinic, watching people as they pass and keeping an eye out for a familiar face- any familiar face. He keeps wondering what else he's forgotten and while stray memories surface from time to time, some of them are actually from experiments. He just can't tell what's real and it's pissing him off.]

... I understand. I'm just glad you didn't go very far.

[fortunefail]

... I wouldn't know where to go.

[wise_maiden]

... Fair enough. [In his state, though, she wouldn't have been surprised if he did try some wandering.]

[fortunefail]

[He'd try wandering if he wasn't paranoid he'd either get lost or do something else stupid.]

Are you feeling better?

[wise_maiden]

[She blinks a little at the topic change.]

... I'm all right, Yuan. [Whether or not that was wholly true was another matter, but she wasn't going to burden him with that, particularly while he was like this.] ... But thank you for asking.

[fortunefail]

Good. That's good. [It's rather incredible how guilty he feels over something like this. Is he still going to feel the same way once he regains all his memories? He hopes not. Nothing against Raine, but the sooner he can get rid of this feeling, the better.]

[wise_maiden]

[He did nearly kill her twice while she tried to reason with him. Maybe he'd see it differently later on, maybe not. It wasn't her place to tell him what he should be feeling on the matter.]

You just need to focus on yourself for now. Are you hungry? There's a restaurant that isn't far...

[fortunefail]

I'm... [He trails off, looking thoughtful. Now that she mentions it, he hasn't had anything to eat since that morning. He hadn't even noticed that his stomach is churning uncomfortably.]

I suppose I wouldn't object to lunch.

[wise_maiden]

It'll probably do you some good. [Possibly. Or be distracting, at the very least.]

[fortunefail]

[He starts pushing himself to his feet.] Then, lead the way.

[wise_maiden]

[And lead the way she does, to the nearest restaurant. Rather, the only real restaurant around.]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan follows obediently. He's hardly ever been inside Seventh Heaven, so he has no memories of the place at all.]
