[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(...) Mr. Gleam is still Asleep, but this has an explanation - Morgana told you she specifically put him in a 'Healing Slumber, most needed dire' , since there turned out to be a LOT of compounding health issues that have been piling up and worsened by his tireless and extremely stress work and getting his daughter the help she desperately needed. She didn't really care about the fate of the man, but figured that since you went through all the effort to help his daughter you probably wouldn't want the guy having his own medical crisis either. Or worse, dying and becoming responsible for a child - though that tangent piqued the Fae Lady's fancies until you managed to distract her. NOPE, you are not ready for children yet, nuh uh! Taking care of your Mons and Morgana is hard enough as is, seesh!

Zephy, unsurprisingly, continue to ignore you, something you are frustrated by but grateful for in this instance. They still shoot you the stink eye every now and again, much to Nirix's worry. They'll settle down once treatment of Saph begins, however - they're not THAT petty to let wounded feelings jeopardize the health and recovery of someone like her!

Saph...her breathing has appeared to become ever so slightly more stable, and you could see the tell-tell signs she was getting close to Wakefulness. As it stand you could wait for her to Awaken, or simply pipe in the Pancea and do what little Curse Breaking you can with or without help.

The Pendant lit up like a flare, feelings of 'anticipation' , 'relief' , and 'urgency' welling up through your contact with it. You have a strong feeling this Pendant would prove to be useful yet again during this - hopefully - last check up and treatment of the lil' ill lass.

How are you going about Curing Saph from her Curse?

..Oh? Morgana has put Mr.Gleam in a Healing Slumber? Now that explains quiiiite a lot. It is much appreciated and pleasant to know though, how insightful of her!~ Bernhard would give her yet another tender kiss on the back of her pearly hand as thanks, before quite obviously doing everything to distract her from...that tangent, yeah.

Zephy.....ignoring her Master, Partner and Wielder is rude, but he can see where it's coming from so it is somewhat accepted for now, somewhat grateful for he even happens to be. We'll let her take her time to unwind and sulk if that's what she wants to do, and hope that the smol Mythic won't hold its grudge for too long. Not the first time something like this has happened though, so Bernhard is confident things will be fine soon enough. Hopefully. Probably. If anything, he knows how to get back into good terms with her, one way or the other.


And now... The fateful time has eventually come, Bernhard did BOTH anticipate and fear that moment, the pressure of being like 'the last hope' weighted heavily on his shoulder (he did not display that however, no). For a bit, he would just be there at Saph's side in complete silence, burning + smoking incense sticks of Sage, the Saphire Pendant held softly yet confidently in his Gauntet'ed hand, Zephy perking on his shoulder to keep watch, Myra and Nirix being invited to come to his side to provide silent company and quiet reassurance. In such meaningful moments, Bernhard did highly value his chosen Pokemon's company, as much as he vows prefering to be left alone and by himself. How the Saphire Pendant flared up upon contact, how these feelings of 'anticipation' , 'relief' , and 'urgency' are reaching hi- no, are reaching out to him - is answered with a gentle look and quiet words of "Do not be fearful. I am here, at last and eventually..." *gently tightening grip on it, closing eyes, and lowering voice to nothing but a mere whisper* "Please, stay with me. Help me, aid me, like you did yesterday. Please... do make this work. Please... do awake dear Saph. I wish for her to... be conscious for this."

To help with awaking her to consciousness, can we please cast a gentle Aromatherapy from Spritzee over her via Evocation?
