[This morning, there is a series of images appearing in the journal. Nothing more, nothing less. Ask what's going on, and you'll probably get more of the same. Luceti is a strange place, isn't it?]

[Thank goodness it's a familiar face. Though Edward is somewhat wary of recruiting the man he'd gossipped about Sigmund with, desperate times call for desperate measures, and Sigmund is still waiting. So after a moment Edward runs over to greet the blond man.]

Guy! I need your help at once.

[Whoa, Edward is a lot faster than Guy would have anticipated. But hey, needs his help? Cool, Guy could use a distraction.]

Of course, what is it?

[Edward shuffles the coat and cup to one hand, retrieving his journal and holding it out for Guy to see.]

This diagram- I need to reach this location. Lord Sigmund is waiting for me, but I... [He trails off. ...This is so damned humiliating...!]

[Guy studies it for a second; most of it is pretty easy to grasp. He needs assistance, preferably in the form of Edward. He needs a coat -understandable because it's cold- and...water, probably.

The rod...he's not sure, and the other person he doesn't know either. The lines appear to be a map, and those look like trees...can't see but he can hear? It had to be a river.]


Hmm...do you know which river he's talking about in this?

I can only assume it's the one closest to the barracks. Lord Sigmund knows that area well.

[Though why he can't actually write or speak a proper sentence to explain things, Edward really has no idea.]

All right, let's get going. [And off they take! Guy's not sure the reason why Sigmund seems to be drawing Edward maps instead of asking outright for help, but there must be a reason for it.]

[Edward hastily follows, glad for once he'd opted to leave his blade at home. It would be clumsy to bring Sigmund back with the extra weight, and Guy was pretty quick on his feet.

It shouldn't take them long to reach Sigmund at this rate.]

[When they do, they will find him basically where he indicated he would be - south of the village, out of sight of the river but within hearing distance, against a big rock between two big trees. Look, he drew the best he can, alright. They might also find him dozing slightly. This has been an exhausting experience.]

[It takes a bit of searching around but they do eventually discover a man slumped against a rock. Guy doesn't know what he looks like, but he's pretty sure there aren't any other men slumped against rocks anywhere so this must be Sigmund.

...he looks much younger than Guy was expecting. He's just a kid.]


Are you awake?

[Gahhh. Edward dashes right over, crouching beside Sigmund and gently gripping his shoulder. The coat and cup are forgotten for the moment.] My lord! Are you alright?

[Action] Sorry, sorry! Net was out.
[Sigmund is not the best of people to wake by surprising, but he's still too groggy (and hungry... and maybe a little weak) to do more than give Edward a small shove before blinking and realizing who it is.] You came.

[He wasn't worried or anything, why would you think that. It just took a long time, that's all.]

[Action] No worries! I'm glad your net's been fixed /o/
[Guy is just going to hover nearby in the case of Sigmund needing additional assistance. At least he's all right; Edward had been a mess of nerves all the way out here.]

[Action] Ditto here!
[Edward does his best not to wilt, his relief over Sigmund's return winning over anything else.] Of course, my lord. I'm sorry it took so long.

[Hoping Sigmund is awake enough not to shove him aside this time, Edward gently gets his arm behind Sigmund's back to lift him up, trying to shuffle the coat around his shoulders. It's too cold outside to be without it.]

[Sigmund does the exact opposite of shoving Ed aside and slides his arm around his shoulders. Despite what he's been telling others, he doesn't feel good at all. That's about when he notices that Edward isn't alone.]

Who...?

[Guy smiles and sweeps an arm before himself in a regal bow. It's not mocking; this kid is a Lord, right? Probably a good idea to at least show his respect.]

Guy Cecil, at your service. Edward asked for my assistance, should you require it.

He is an ally, my lord. I trust him. [Which is something he's not as sure of as he sounds, not yet, but he trusted Guy enough to ask for his help with Sigmund, so... that's definitely something.

Once Sigmund has his coat on, Edward fishes out the cup and offers it out to Guy.]


Here, fill this.

[Sigmund got... about every third or fourth word of that. He shakes his head slowly.]

I don't understand.

Hmm...

[Guy takes the cup -but is it really safe to fill it straight from the river?- and hesitates. What doesn't he understand? Did it have something to do with why he drew the map instead of writing down directions or asking plainly?

Maybe he needed smaller words. Guy presses his palm flat against his own chest to indicate himself.]


Help.

[Edward is visibly confused; he doesn't understand? What's not to understand? It's obvious that something's wrong, but he's having trouble grasping it. This is why he was drawing pictures instead of asking for help though, apparently...

He glances sidelong at Guy, shifting a bit closer to Sigmund protectively- not from Guy so much as everything. He does nod in agreement, glancing at his lord. Guy is here to help, and he's trustworthy. He's not sure how Sigmund would need that to be conveyed.]

I understood that. I cannot remember- He struggles with finding the word he wants for a moment, but he just can't. So instead, he opens his journal and points to the first word he sees that he can't make sense of. It happens to be his own name.]

This means nothing to me.

[....Oh dear. Sigmund, being unable to communicate even more than usual normally? This isn't going to be easy by any means. Edward frowns uncomfortably for a moment, then takes the journal and jots out a little drawing of the house, with an arrow pointing to it. They should get going and worry about this later.]

[It's very tempting to snap. He feels... annoyed, tired, abused, condescended to... But he takes a deep breath and lets it go, although maybe the hand on Edward's shoulder squeezes just a little harder than is needed to keep him upright.] I know what things are. I asked for you, didn't I? I just don't remember the- [>>]...things.

[So much for his stalwart defense of his own intelligence.]

[This isn't going to work.

Guy had darted off for a moment to go fill the cup as requested and returns to see that they are misunderstanding each other. He holds the cup out for Edward to take and shakes his head.]


Maybe we should just get moving. We can try to figure out what we're all saying somewhere warmer, at least.

[Since Sigmund doesn't seem terribly injured, but rather... actually, Edward's not sure how to describe it, but regardless, he just offers the cup out to Sigmund and moves to stand, ready to help his lord to his feet if such aid is necessary. He feels uncomfortably out of his league right now. Sigmund always knows how to order him. What in the world is expected of him now?]

My lord, Guy is right. Whatever is afflicting you is probably temporary, so you should rest more comfortably at home.
