[Assumes they have hibbity hobbled back to the manor and we are dressing reirin's wounds in some kind of way. girl bonding.]

You're in remarkably good spirits, considering the condition you all returned in. You needn't put up a brave front for us all, Reirin, if things were more troublesome than they appear.

[animatedly]

[She will noticeably limp her way back to the manor... Once there, Melinoë will see that her knee is pretty banged up!!! perhaps fractured!!! she will also have a cut on her shoulder and a snake bite on her hand... as well as bruising, so much bruising all around her torso. also noticeably, Reirin will not make a single pained noise, instead grabbing onto anything else to endure the pain...

There are palpable beads of sweat on her face, but she manages a smile anyway.]

It simply hasn't sunk in yet, I think. [rather than bravery...] I still feel rather disoriented. Should I mourn all those I lost...? But they are all here now, hale and whole.

[dulymoted]

Mourn?

[Oh dear, okay looking at these injuries she will cant her head to the girl.]

Would you permit me to carry you to your bed, Reirin? I promise I will escort you with the utmost care.

[animatedly]

[at that she quickly shakes her head]

I am fine, really! [okay] In fact, I can already feel my strength returning, just by sitting down!

[dulymoted]

Are you sure? You seem so weary, and these wounds are so fresh...

[She hesitates.]

Let's keep you seated then. Do you have clean cloth? A pitcher for water? I'll tend to you at least, please don't deny me that much.

[animatedly]

[sweet meli.... after some hesitation, Reirin nods,]

...I would be grateful for some water. Thank you, lady Melinoë.

[dulymoted]

Then I shall fetch you some.

[She will grab her agua....sweet giver of life. Handing it over and keeping a careful eye on her wounds]

Might I ask what caused all this? None of you came out unscathed...Do you remember how you arrived in that place?

[animatedly]

[precious meli and precious aqua

Reirin takes a sip, brow furrowing slightly as she thinks.]

I do not know exactly how I came to be in that place... Only that I was in the courthouse before I was taken.

[the maze. not the most pleasant place to spend time in, but Reirin has made it a point to at least try and explore, despite the haunting memories she's witnessed.]

The next I knew, I was in the village, except I thought I had been there my whole life. I recognized Elysium, Siffrin, and Yosuke as well -- as fellow villagers, not as companions.

[dulymoted]

The courthouse?

[could that be the point of origin? Perhaps there had been a door opened there, or a portal, such as the sort Chaos used?]

What sort of life were you made to live there? You can't have remained peacefully there for long, not when you came out in such poor shape.
