(Timeskip)

Selaphiel was already awake, appearing back in her room. "Long night... Why do these things always happen..." She sighed, walking out of her room and into the hallway. She didn't actually know where the others' rooms were, so she opened them one by one.

---------------------------

It had been storming through the night, and thankfully calmed down into a light rain. Aret moved around in her sleep, trying to find a position that would get rid of the pain. The other four pairs of wings draped over her and down the sides of the bed, big and fluffy as they were when they weren't taken care of. She breathed in and out deeply, opening her eyes and looking around. Her sleeve and arm was covered in blood- just how much had she coughed up?

Lean was already awake. She had been long before dawn, making sure her final plan was developing nicely. Breakfast was being prepared by the staff, Caspian's bag is being checked and prepared, the final clean up was being done. Right now, she was back in her room, with her own personal kettle and tea brewing. She turns to the sound of the door, waving. "Good morning Miss Selaphiel. Care for a morning tea?" She smiles, just... how can one be so awake and lively at this early of an hour.

"Oh, uh, sure." She stepped in and closed the door, sitting across from her. She double checked to make sure she looked fine, no hair or feathers out of place, no skin melting off. "You're up awfully early."

Lean chuckles a bit and pulls another cup from her drawer, pouring it in and handing the cup over to Selaphiel. "Oh, I just like getting my work done early. And given that both the King and I are going to depart, I thought I would give our successor as easy of a time as I can." She lifts her notebook, showing it to her. A small supportive note and inside some pointers. "Though, I wouldn't call it "awfully early"... how come you do? Are you up by force?"

"Work separate from my task to save the Saint Deity. It's... Eventful. Keeps anyone and everyone up whenever they come." She answered vaguely, sipping the tea. "Besides, I need to eat sometime, you know. The human food here is disgusting."

"I am sure you would not want me to meddle in celestial business, so I will abstain from offering my help." Lean answered, trying to match Sela in eloquency. "Though, if I may, what do you eat? Are you disgusted from human food as a whole or are your standards just that high? Remember, you are in a royal castle... I could try fetching something that is more to your liking."

"You are not able to give me what I eat. It's physically impossible." She closed her eyes for a moment. "Keeping up appearances is difficult enough. I'm afraid I'm running out of time, so we need to be quick and reduce Her Majesty."

"Well, time management is one of my specialties. Don't worry, Miss Selaphiel, I'll mobilize any resources I can gather to help you." Lean smiles a little confidently, bowing down slightly before finishing her tea. "Just know that if you need to relax or let loose, let me know. I will neither judge nor berate. Though, if I may again... what do you mean by "reduce" her majesty?"

"I mean rescue! It's imperative we rescue her! Lest this nation completely die out and be wiped from the map, of course." She coughed, turning away. "Apologies... Mind is just fuzzy."

"... I know human medicine might not work on a highly classed individual like you..." Lean opens a different drawer and places down a simple pill with red dots and refills her tea cup. "But let me at least show you that, while the rescue of the Saint Deity is the highest priority... that you and your entourage are just as vital." She makes it sound like she's not a part of it.

"What is this for?" She looked at it skeptically. "Aren't these the things you humans eat? I don't understand why you're showing me."

Lean shakes her head somewhat. "It's medicine. There was a cure-all that my former partner used to carry in those ornate boxes but... well, we haven't been in touch for some time." She sighs, briefly looking upset. Then, she smiles again. "He gave me a lesser version of it once and I had it left over for emergencies. And for people who need it." She opens her drawer, showing that it was in small wooden box as well when she took it out.

"That still doesn't answer one of my questions. Why are you showing this to me? I don't need it." She finished her tea and placed the cup down.

"It's a show of loyalty, to put it a little more bluntly." Lean takes both cups and places them away, on a small wooden board. "Because I know I probably cannot provide you with things you usually have. I mean, I am sure if they let someone like you enter, the barrier to entry must be very high. But I will do the best of my abilities to help you out, both you and your cause." She puts the pill back into the wooden box but puts it in Sela's range, along with a glass of water she somehow conjured up.

She glared at the box and water, and then stood up. "We should get going. The more time we waste, the more time Legion has to control this land."

"It's too early. Not many are awake yet, breakfast isn't planned until later. But I respect your wish of secrecy." When Selaphiel blinked, Lean disappeared with her notebook. A note was left on the glass of water.

My next appointment is in the waiting hall, the place where I had the confrontation with myself. If you wish to talk, go there. If not, I recommend we leave after breakfast. Increases morale and would give you less of a headache.

She rolled her eyes and left the room, going around to wake everyone else up. "Come on, we need to move. Can't sleep the day away."

Kendo was right outside of Aret's room, carefully cleaning an ornate, black dagger. He hummed quietly, his silver hair shimmering in the light. He seemed bored.

Lean sighs at Selaphiel from across the hallway, making an X with her arms. It was a signal to stop. Then she left again in the next blink.

----

A note appeared in Kendo's jacket.

As a great (or tall) man once said: "wassup". Just answer by writing and stuffing the note back. - Itty
