[After the events of the previous week, the mature thing to do would have been to would have been to take the awkward stares and deliver his humble apologies like a man. Yet after spending a week steeped in the most negative emotions he'd indulged in even the darkest of fantasies, it was easier to keep to himself.

He'd been spending quite a bit of time along the southeastern banks of the river running outside the village, staying outdoors to avoid the all-encompassing yet entirely oppressive forgiveness that awaited him at home. He would make amends and pay his dues in time, but for now, there was still the matter of coping with what was within him that the experiment had tapped to affect his actions.

The man lying faceup on the riverbank would still be visibly bruised despite sharing living space with a mage proficient in the healing arts. He'd been grateful to have been pulled from the precipice of death, yes, but wished to let the tender achy muscles, dark bruises, and angry gashes heal on their own as penance. It was in this way that he watched the sky begin to darken, chronicling the sun's slow journey towards rest.]

[He drew her close to him again, offering a physical shoulder for her to weep upon.] Ssh. It's over now. Let it go.

[Later, perhaps he would thank her for bringing sense to a nonsensical demand. But at the moment, Cecil's brain was awhirl with the reddened eyes and faint sniffles of Rydia's sadness. Anything to indulge her, even if it didn't make complete sense to him at the moment.] I understand. My apologies for acting so selfishly. Do as you will.

[Rydia melte into that hug with a shuddering sigh. She didn't lean too heavily into him, though, remembering the injuries that had moved her to tears. Nodding, she concentrated again, putting as much effort into healing as she could. The result should be enough, even though it is making her lightheaded.]

I--

[Her voice was a little watery there, so she coughed and tried again.]

That's as much as I can do....

[It felt a bit like vampirism, to feel so much better at the expense of another's wellbeing. Cecil held her steady as she weakened, frowning deeply. She rarely reached a state like this from her magic.] It's too much. You seem ill, Rydia. What kind of magic do you learn in this land?

[Rydia straightened and shook her head, defensive. Cecil was verging on overprotective as it was, she didn't want him thinking that she as fragile as he thought her, if not more. The paladin wasn't the only one to have some pride, though at least in her case she wasn't actually injured.]

I told you, spirit magic. I'm all right, really. It's more that I haven't slept well the past few days than anything else. You will consider what I've said?

[Cecil frowned, still unconvinced that these "spirits" weren't just an extension of some larger experiment. What if adopting it was changing her for the worse in slow, imperceptible ways?]

I shall. Promise me you'll rest properly.

[Truth be told, Rydia wondered the same. But she didn't dare voice that aloud, too concerned with being as useful as she could, compensating for what was lost to her. She nodded.]

I will, promise.

[With that, Cecil gave her a nod and released her from his grasp, eyeing her carefully to make sure she was okay to walk.] And. Thank you. For all your support today.
