From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Merc]

Felix sighs. "And that's about all I've managed to get out of him."

[Olvelsper]

"Maybe you should stay behind while we take care of the towers, Leets..."

[Dracos]

"That sounds like some bad curse," Viki said airheadedly, almost casual, though her concern came through.

[Shukuen]

Leets shook his head adamantly. "Needed. I'm needed. I have to help. I must help."

[Olvelsper]

"If you're this adamant about it...I'll let you come along. You're going to have to pull yourself together more, though."

[Shukuen]

"m'kay..." Leets responded dazedly, before collapsing limply like a puppet with its strings cut.

[Olvelsper]

"Leets!" Jan rushed towards the fallen youth, helping him up and getting him into a bed. After checking to make sure the boy hadn't gone and died on them, he turned seriously to the others.

"We have to take turns watching him. I don't trust the state he's in. No one touches that book either. I don't want more of us winding up like this." He rapped on Pandora's Box to call Yomi out.

[Dracos]

Yomi popped right out.  "Okay, boss, what's the phantasmic emergency?"  He said in a comradeish tone.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"I think he was cursed. Don't touch this book, but think you can do some magic scan or somesuch to see if there's anything inherently wrong with it?" He pointed to the book Leets was clutching.

[Merc]

"I don't think touching it would be the real problem so much as looking inside, but you might as well be cautious about touching the book," Felix tosses his two cents into the matter, not really able to do anything besides look on worriedly.

[Dracos]

"What is leets holding?" Yomi asked, confusion evident in his voice. "I see no magic there...nor anything else...but clearly he's holding something."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"I don't know. He's been babbling about stats and branching dialogue trees ever since I've seen him."

[Dracos]

The little creature floated around Leets, obviously agitated, his wings twitching slightly.  "I haven't ever encountered something like this...  I don't understand."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Then take your time looking it over." Jan calmly advised.

[Dracos]

And so the creature did, Yomi looking none the less agitated when the sun rose and the party turned from their beds and began their preparations for their trip.  Indeed he only sighed and gave up after Felix began poking him with a stick, retreating to his study in defeat.

OOC:
Leets, it is off now.
