“What--grah!” he cried out, suddenly exasperated and flustered all at once. “What was that for, you confounded woman?! Do you need something? Is that it?”

Setsuna hummed softly to herself as she watched the dancers on the floor. The event was certainly a busy one. Taking a moment to sit and rest was nice, and watching the new dances was certainly interesting. It wasn’t anything she’d seen before, it would be nice to learn. She smiled, resting her chin in her hand upon the table.

Her name caught her attention. She wasn’t expecting to see Gaius, and she was certainly not expecting to see him in that outfit. “Wow…” She drawled, a slow smile blooming across her face. “Look at you…when did you go and get all fancied up, huh?”

Giggling, she stood up and offered her hand. “You look nice.”

“Not as nice as you do, Dollface. You always look stunning,” Gaius replied with a laugh. 

Once they were on the ballroom floor, Gaius assumed position, one hand falling at her waist. His heart thudded rapidly, and he realized he was anxious. He wasn’t used to fancy dances like this -- he was used to cutting loose on the dance floor and letting everyone know that he was a force to be reckoned with! But this... was something elegant and gentle, and he prayed to the gods that he wouldn’t mess it up.

Of course, it took her by surprise. 

One moment, she and her new friend -- her name was “Setsuna”, not “Net-Girl”, as she later found out -- were enjoying themselves at a tiny restaurant in the sprawling city that surrounded the massive castle. It served freshly caught fish with the most tender and juicy of steaks. Aversa couldn’t wait until their meals finally arrived!

The next, the bold archer was planting a kiss none-too-shyly on the Plegian’s lips, drawing forth a gasp. Though shocked, she didn’t pull away, enjoying the sensation somewhat. Her lips were so soft...

Silque glanced down at the paper she held in her hands. Somehow she had made it through a portal into another world. She was surprised by this turn of events, wondering what kind of miracle had to have occurred in order for her to cross worlds. Since she felt like she was stuck here for the time being, Silque decided to figure out what to do with herself. The best way to do that was to find out information about her current location. 

It was coming upon evening time and Silque had gotten directions a few hours back by a traveling merchant. He had offered to take her with him, but Silque declined. She didn’t want to take up any of this time and his destination was further from the place he had mentioned was nearby. 

Silque looked up from what she was reading when she heard a noise. Like someone was struggling against something and having a difficult time. She searched around before spotting someone nearby that she hadn’t seen before. They looked a little scuffed up from whatever they had been doing. Silque rushed over to them. 

22. A one word text

Gaius blinked, squinting slightly in the sunlight, and... Oh, gods. Yep. There she was.

He stared for a long time, then whipped out his phone and shot her a quick text, because he was sure his voice sure as fuck couldn’t carry that far.

Aversa felt as though this latest trip to the far away land known as “Hoshido” was going pretty well! She had fun looking at all the various Hoshidan clothing on display in the shops, bullied an incredibly rude redheaded wanker, and had saved one strange, charming girl from some kind of... wildlife trap or something. What an interesting day! And she still had so much of her vacation left!

Today she planned on getting some air with Whisper. He hadn’t taken kindly to being cooped up most of the day while his owner was out having fun and bothering people. She’d thought about bringing him with her, but the young stallion was still fairly unpredictable in crowded areas, so she decided against it. He was incredibly surly at her for most of the morning, even threatening to buck her off when she climbed atop his back. But after a few minutes of feeling the cool morning breeze through his feathers once they were up in the air, all was forgiven.

Aversa intended to spend most of that day seeing all that could be seen with a bird’s eye view. Flying took a lot of energy, though, so she had to be sure to let Whisper come down for snacks and water. As she was feeding him a tasty looking apple in a lightly shaded forest near a creek, she thought she heard the sounds of...? Well, she wasn’t sure, but it sounded... odd. 

As she went to investigate, Whisper complaining quietly about where the rest of his meal was, she came across... Wait... was that...? The net girl? Practicing with a bow and arrows?

An archer, then? Funny. She hadn’t taken the young ditz as the “combat ready” type. She watched her for a little longer, before clearing her throat a bit. 

A new student brought in an illness that is quickly spreading across the monastery. The infirmary is overloaded with sickly students and faculty in need of care. Help out the infirmary staff by gathering supplies, setting up new infirmary beds, or dishing out medicine to those too worn down to help themselves—and avoid catching the plague yourself.

He hardly wants to be the one to help the sickly and meek during this epidemic. Not that he is so unfeeling to their pain; quite the contrary. Their misery strickens his soul.

He can’t stand to watch, and fears after his own health. But all able-bodied residents were made to curb the spread, and Arvis’ skills in healing were indispensable.

He carries a water basin into one of the student lounges; many had turned into pop-up infirmaries, with naught but medical partitions making up rooms.

“Yes. And?”
