[ Hey.
Hey, Thancred.
Did you want to wake up after being struck from behind on an airship? Arms tied, being kept imprisoned? Still being in imperial robes, the ones he had been wearing before?
Whoops. because, well, That's where he is. Luckily, Krile isn't there, she's safe-- but there's a Garlean sitting by him, guarding him. Daggers which are-- wait, they're his. She's holding his, and reading a Garlean history book - before noticing he's awake. ]
...You can wake in that state?

...You can wake in that state?
[Well- he didn't particularly want to be struck, but- this is where he is. He wriggles, trying to get out- at least Krile got away, but- where is he going?
He glances at the Garlean- surprisingly familiar, and frowns for a moment before smoothing it out, head tilted.]
I've woken in worse positions. Though this is… unusual.

...It's simply precautions, or so I've been told. You've gotten some rather nasty injuries which will be sorted out once we return home.
[ She says so casually, placing her book down before looking at him. Clearly a pureblooded Garlean, with the third eye and all. And yet... she looks familiar. ]

I could have sworn I had slightly fewer before waking up. Home…?
[for the both of them? He glances at the book, and then over her.]
Back to Garlemald, I take it?
[for the both of them? He glances at the book, and then over her.]
Back to Garlemald, I take it?
Yes, back to the capital city of Garlemald. [ she smiles, she looks over him, before tilting her head a little. a book on the history of garlemald... it looks pristine. as does everything here. ] It's been so long since I've been able to go there... and you as well.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be given the finest care available to those of our rank.

Ah… of course. […and he'll be a long way from home- or any help, even. Well- it looks as though he might have access to something interesting and well-cared for, though he wouldn't quite call it a far trade.] A very long time.
Ah- that blow must have hit me harder. Remind me of that…?

...It must have. But they did remove your third eye - savages, the lot of them. [ The lady hisses, trying to hold back her venom speaking of Eorzeans. But is she mistaken...? She moves closer to him, to flop on him. ] But no sas would be treated badly in our medical system. We have the finest of medics.
My third eye- [he shifts, trying to touch his forehead- no, there's an old scar there- a blow, from long past- does she mean that? He lets out a sound as she flops on him, turning to look at her.] It's- it's a shame. I don't suppose- of course they'd treat us well, but- have they treated anything like that damage?
[…is he going to end up with one.]
[…is he going to end up with one.]
I got injured worse and had to be fixed a while ago. I... don't remember how, though. It was around a year ago?
[ ...Isn't that how long ago Minfilia vanished? When... that chaos happened? ] It was soon after that I was dispatched again, in case Eorzea finally decides to surrender.

Ah- well, I'm very glad to hear that. It'd be a shame if anything that hurt you lingered. [he smiles, but- it doesn't last. frowning, because- that doesn't feel right- not to someone this familiar. Besides- a year ago. It matches up, and the way she is… This is strange. He shifts a little closer.]
For a diplomatic intervention, then? That's… for the better, if there's no need to shed more blood.

[ She's gonna. Sort of flop on him, looking up at him gently. She's still inspecting him, though, seeming to count each of his injuries. Checking his silvered eye... worried and touching his face. ]
Though it was not the desire of Lord Solus, he has passed - and perhaps whoever takes the throne next shall get though to those savages. We can hope, can't we?

[she seems very soft, though he’s still alarmed. He tries to turn away when she examines his silvered eye- still troubled by revealing it to anyone. And- even if she’s being kind referring to Eorzeans as savages still sets him on edge.]
We can, of course. Perhaps they’ll find our next leader more palatable. That was- Lord Solus’ grandson who succeeded, was it not?

[ She notices his turn away and stops trying to inspect. But she's so worried... her dear Thancred sas Waters is so injured! ]
Yes - Lord Varis. He even came to try and claim a power from Eorzea - but for the moment, Lord Regula is carrying out that plan.
...How much do you recall, Thancred?

[he's trying to seem fine! …he is more than a little freaked out, though.]
Hidden away- ah, in the skies? [Y'shtola said a little, he thinks.
Ah. He wines, and shakes his head.] Some things- more of the immediate past, but…. I fear I do not see home so clearly.

Yes! Some form of fabled hidden city - I'm surprised you didn't help locate it. But I suppose those savages got to you so much...
...you don't know of our home? That's a pity. [ but she'll begin to explain, closing her eyes a little. ] We don't have our own house, of course. A lot of those retrieved from Eorzea live with us, recovering from their own injuries. And I've been learning from them. I mean, not from the ones who insist this is wrong. It's a beautiful place in the middle of the capital, close to any services we may need.
[ ...so they keep those who she lives with basically isolated. ]
...I feel sorry for those who think this is all wrong. Sometimes they lash out and need to be taken in for treatment.

I did get into some trouble, unfortunately... [well- Flow. But he doesn’t think he’ll explain that.]
Ah... then they’re making sure we’re well looked after, aren’t they? [and with eyes kept on them, no doubt.]. Very well situated, then.
Wrong? Why do they think that? [but- retrieved from Eorzea- he wonders if it relates to that.]

Yes! It's a paradise - I missed it while deployed. And all my family... and friends, too... [ she doesn't seem to think this is strange. but she closes her eyes. ]
I was only there for one outburst before I was sent to that Castrum we met at, but Lahabrea... [ --Lahabrea?! ] He began to lash out at us and attack us, saying we were living a lie. That he should have the ability to use magic. It took at least eight of us to take him down. I hope he's okay...

It’s hard to be away from them, isn’t it? [he hesitates for a moment, but then leans into her.]
Lahabrea-!? Of all people- [he breaks off, hoping that he only sounds incredulous.] I don’t expect they’d allow him not to be. But- we’ll see, I’m sure.

[ ...She seems to happy he's leaning. ]
You know Lahabrea? Huh. [ ?? ] He didn't seem to know a lot of us. Even less when he returned. Which really upset Yda, but then again she just wants to be friends with everybody. [ ????? minfilia what's going on. ]

[this is still bizarre, but… he's glad he can make her happy. At least a little.]
He's certainly the type to leave an impression…. [the heck.]. Didn't he? That's… very strange. And- Yda did- well, but she's always been like that. Hasn't she? [he's so very confused.]

She has - and she still is. It's weird they won't deploy her to help fight Ala Mhigo, though. She hates them about as much as I do. Why, when they deployed Moenbryda - to try and get back a runaway, Yda tried to sneak along! [ its said as a joke but oh god this is wrong isnt it. and there's a little flicker in minfilias' eyes - she understands something is wrong as well.
so she pauses, to change the subject. ] We'll be arriving soon. I'll try and see if you can come home before you get treated, okay?

Yda in Ala Mhigo…. [his gaze slides a way for a moment- thinking about it. It- gods. He doesn't want to think about how wrong it feels to even think it- Yda turned against her home…. But. Moenbryda, too? He stares, a little.]. …well. They have ever been a good pair- I'm not surprised she'd wish to join her…
…all right. I'm sure that'd be much nicer than heading off straight away. ,small>[besides- he's a little terrified of what'll happen if he goes in there.]

It's weird, Thancred. May I confess something to you? [ Minfilia then whispered, nuzzled up so close to him. ]
Of course. [he tries to cuddle back into her, as best he can- wanting to reassure a little, and be reassured.]. It'll go no further than you wish it to.
[ She looks right at him, her face is just like Minfilias' - but she's frowning. ] Please don't tell any of our superiors, but-- I've been having strange dizzy spells recently. And I think it may be related to my time in Eorzea.
