[ Adolphe is pretty much trapped at the Health Center right now, in one of the five beds that are there. He's bandaged up, but he's still cold to the touch as if he's a corpse, but no it's just being dunked into a winter ocean full of ice. His eyes are no longer full of blood, one of them has a gauze over it to heal the partial damage, he's on painkillers... he's being a good patient and not moving.

But it's not like he can move much in the first place. ]

...

[ His one good eye looks over at Elysia. ]

[florescences]

[ she comes closer and hovers by his bedside. She holds her hands out like she wants to touch him but doesn't want to agitate any of his injuries. ]

Hey. I guess asking you if you're all right is silly, isn't it?

[chrysanths]

[ Healing rate is great, and he's not like some people who constantly reopens their wounds, but still... he's still recovering. Adolphe closes his good eye and slowly reopens it.

There's a hologram image of Taair, Richie, Hawke and Adolphe crowding around a baby with bright blue eyes. They look fond of the baby despite them being covered with blood and gore. He still smells like brine. ]

[florescences]

You'll need to get cleaned up a little more....

[ the brine....

she looks at the hologram. ]

Were you tasked with protecting the child?

[chrysanths]

[ Adolphe shakes his head a little side to side. That's a no. ]

We--

[ Ohhh, his voice is so bad right now. It's so raspy and hoarse.

We were tasked to kill the baby, but we didn't know it was a baby until we saw it with our own eyes.

There. Better. ]

[florescences]

[ she looks around for some water, but she doesn't know if his throat has been injured more than being thirsty. ]

Kill? Why?

[chrysanths]

[ If she takes a closer look, there are no bandages around his neck, so maybe it's good? There's no outward damage, at least.

My group was given a mercenary job to slay a "demon" on the most top floor of a castle. I remember being extremely put out when we realized it.

The demon? Just racism. ]

[florescences]

[ okay, then she grabs a glass of water for him, but she won't force him to drink it. it's just there if he wants it. ]

Hmm... the baby must have symbolized something? What did you do when you found the child?

[chrysanths]

[ The other three wanted to take it in, which I didn't object to. I attempted to kill the maid, because she deserved it.

I think this was the single time when his "justice rank: A" has shone through but hideously in this entire game. ]

[florescences]

The maid? What did she do?

[ if he was going to resort to murder? ]

[chrysanths]

[ Called it a demon, because the baby had bright blue eyes. Rich defended her though.

That's literally it, but sometimes you can't stand racism (no, all the time).

She probably died in the castle anyway, because she had no way of leaving it. ]

[florescences]

[ that's a little extreme, but she knows more extreme people, so it's probably fine.

that's tragic, in its own way. ]

And what did you do to get so hurt?

[chrysanths]

[ roll terribly

I couldn't avoid traps and fought a huge monster.

A hologram image shows a montage of Adolphe getting rekt by water in various ways, including drowning twice. He sure had a time. ]

[florescences]

Oh, dear.

[ there is a little wince in sympathy. ]

I'm so relieved you returned to us, Adolphe. I really am.

[chrysanths]

... Thanks.

[ In his raspy and hoarse voice. He... has mixed feelings about that, but he's here nevertheless. ]

[florescences]

[ she takes advantage of how he can't move much and reaches over to comb her fingers through his hair before placing a brief kiss to his forehead. ]

Rest well, okay? I don't want you to become as tiring as some other people we know.

[chrysanths]

[ Hey, at least Adolphe is a good patient and actually stays in bed unlike SOME people. Ugh. His face is a little red despite everything. ]

Mm.

[ Thanks... for coming to see me. ]

[florescences]

[ she does like flustering adolphe. she does it on purpose. ]

Of course I'd come to see you. I care about you.

[ she will beat that into his head for the week they have left. ]
