[RPG] [FEI] When Scion finds Laura (part 2)

[Paris]

~No sleep. That was what he decided. If he went to sleep there was no way to
help her. He had no idea what to do though except sit by her side. Tiredness
was catching up to him though. He'd ridden to Taop from Lenemaziel and only
stopped to rest the horses. Then as soon as he got word of Laura's new
location he moved out to Anacan as quickly as possible. He barely slept
knowing that every second mattered. Now he was here. He let out a long sigh
and looked at Robinson.~

Scion: "Duty or not, thank you for taking care of her."

~Robinson shrank his lips and noded to Scion. He was exhausted as well. All
this time, Robinson was continuously taking care of Laura by moving her out
of Anacan City, staying with her during her captivity by the Coast, nursing
her whenever it was required and all these with only a few stolen moments of
sleep. Stolen moments when the little fairy of eyelashes did pay him a visit
now and then restricting him from his Duty, but even then he was close,
ready to respond in any crisis.

Scion turned and moved closer to Laura. He decided to try to talk to her. It
couldn't hurt, and maybe he'd feel a little better as well. Still holding
her hand, as though it was her life, he whispered to her.~

Scion: "Laura...I'm here now. I've been close by for a while now, and I
won't leave."

~He watched her patiently trying to see if he'd get a reaction from her.
Laura was looking still unconscious, but by a first glance none could tell
for sure if she was unconscious or she was sleeping. Laura had no strength
to react, but she hear everything. Laura tried to move a finger in the hand
that Scion was holding. She failed to do a noticeable move and the only
thing Scion might have felt was that effort of Laura and a slight reaction
in her finger from the struggle. Laura huffed.

Robinson, who was now trying to get some sleep on a nearby bed, jumped up
and ran close to her.~

Robinson: "Milady?!"

~He touched her forehead with his hand and placed his stethoscope on her
chest. He turned at Scion.~

Robinson: "She has high fever again..."

~Robinson disappointed went to the outside to get some fresh air. He was
feeling a distress and along with his hunger, he was gasping for air. The
scant food that could be found among their resources was for the Princess
and Scion. Even though the Princess was really serious and not in condition
to eat, which was meaning that he could share her daily portion with the
rest of the company, he had a faint hope that she could be saved and that
she might wake up at any moment from now, so he immediately scratched that
option totally off his mind. The moon was full and it was lightening the
woods. 'Maybe a rabbit...' he thought and got lost in his dream.

Scion watched the healer leave the tent and sighed. Could he do anything to
help her? An idea struck him and he looked over at his bags. He still didn't
want to let go of her hand and had to stretch to reach them. He went through
his bags and pulled out a small cloth and a bottle of water. Since he only
had one free hand he awkwardly applied the water to the cloth, and spilled
some on himself. After some difficulty trying to wring out the cloth with
one hand, he took it and applied it to her forehead hoping it would help.~

Scion: "Please feel better."
~He leaned closer and kissed her lightly on the cheek and watched to see if
it had any effect. But nothing happened.~
