It was early morn, the time when the sun breaks the dark horizon with violet and red smears. He had risen early, simply because he couldn't sleep well due to the devastatinge event the day before. Four of the Order- five soon, had fallen. Several were injured, though, thankfully, not severely so.

He took his time, passing silently throught he corridors to reach the mage's door. Garrand leaned his large frame against the wall, and an exasperated sigh blew through his nose. Shura, Shura, Shura... what will become of you, Captain? And Keira... what a strange one to refuse a quick death. So many things had risen ever since the mage arrived. Perhaps the rebels were right- that she shouldn't have set foot on their lands.

A sudden, muffled sound came from the mage's chamber and he frowned. That didn't sound too good.... He turned on his heel and knocked a little louder than necessary. "My Lady? Is everything alright?"

Sayuri jumped at the sound of someone knocking at the door of her room, startled by it.

For a moment, her mind blanked as she tried to realize what was going on when she noticed the voice belonged to someone she didn't meet. She walked over to the basin and washed her face before she replied in a soft voice that seemed slightly shaken, after finding water, "I'm fine."

Why do they still care or is even remotely concerned about her? It was all her fault. Ever since she arrived in this bloody country, all that's surrounded her were problems, problems and more problems. She stifled another whimper at remembering Keira and Resee. Keira... Sayuri felt that she was most likely going to die and Resee, being related, is probably going to feel acute grief to lose her sister.

It was painful for her, even though she had only recently met them. For some reason, Sayuri felt extremely responsible although she didn't know why. Was Keira already gone or is she still alive?

she had opened the window for some fresh air when Eve flew towards her and seemed unnerved. The bird immediately touched her forehead against Sayuri's.

The moon will understand if you perform tonight, Eve said. Although, be careful... I don't know what's going to happen today with your magic. Then Eve flew off again and disappeared into the sky. Sayuri then closed the window again after a short pause.

Calming herself enough, she changed her clothes to something... although her mind wasn't focused on what it was. It was decent enough as what she wore yesterday, but it seemed plain to anything else. She opened the door and found the knight who most likely knocked on her door.

Her face still appeared as if she was fatigued but she still smiled at the tall man before her, although it seemed pained. "I don't know if pleasantries are in order or not, but I'm assuming you already know who I am..." After all, who doesn't? She is the only one with blood-red like hair and with magic. "But just call me Lady Sayuri; what's your name?"

He bowed briefly, but was still too tall to bow any lower unless he touched his toes. "Garrand, Lady Sayuri."

A small, warm smile was on his face, but perhaps because of his size, he appeared almost grinning. He had noticed the strained smile on her face, but he wasn't someone who was adept with detecting the emotions of another. His gut told him that she wasn't fine at all, but he would take her words at face value. "Would you like to rest for a while longer? It's atill quite early in the morning."

Sayuri blushed softly against the warm smile, something completely different from the other Rune Knights she had recently met. "Nice to meet you, Garrand," she said as she bowed slightly back, although all she really needed was bow her head considering that he is one tall person.

She just smiled softly at the male before replying back, "Thank you for the concern but I don't want to go back to sleep yet..." She looked away and her eyes wandered around the courtyard, realizing that this wasn't the same courtyard where Keira...

She looked at Garrand again with an anxious face and asked, "How is Keira? And Resee?" She knew it was most likely not her place to even ask, but she still can't help but want to see if she can try to help them... but she bitterly bit back her humorless laugh, knowing that they most likely probably didn't want to do anything with her.

"Very well, my lady." He nodded.

Garrand was a little suprised to hear her ask about his fellow Knight's well being. He had assumed that yesterday's events would tire her, or even traumatize. Well, perhaps the weight of the situation hadn't sunk in her system yet. "Everyone is tired..." he told her truthfully. "Keira and Resee... Keira isn't doing very well."

He didn't know how else he should describe Resee's condition aside from telling the mage that the Knight was exhausted. Emotionally and physically exhausted. Well, he wasn't a man of words, so he preferred to leave it at that.

"Oh," she murmured, now worried. What had happened to Keira? How was she faring now? Her eyes lowered to the floor as she seemed to let this sink in. She listened to his continued explanation on Resee's condition. She couldn't dare say anything about that, for she knew that Resee had been recently hit by assassins but now has to suffer the acute grief of her possibly dying sister.

Sayuri was about to ask where Shura was, but knowing many of the hushed voices she's been hearing as of the late, it was best not to ask, knowing that they'd probably not tell her where he has been taken or gone.

She also knew that if she tried to go and heal Keira, it would just be holding off the inevitable of her going on. She took a deep breath before asking in a soft voice, "Would it be all right for me to... to... see them?" Although she really doubted much could happen if she were to go and see them, not so much as a single glance her way when she would arrive quietly.

A deep frown etched itself on his brow as he tried to weigh his words. The mage wanted to see Keira... would it be wise to disturb Resee? He knew that many had deliberately avoided the courtyard to give them peace, though the Royal healer would approach them once in a while, to give Keira some medicationt to ease her pain.

He nodded hesitantly. Well, this was a mage. Perhaps she could help Keira. "They are still in the courtyard," he told her. "Follow me."

----

A little sleep had done a little good. At least she wasn't feeling suicidal now. Just lost, torn and hollow on the inside. Her neck, and spine were feeling sore, but it wasn't a discomfort that registered in her fogged mind. Everything felt somewhat surreal- Keira's still body under the layers of soft blankets, the weight of Jegan's head against her own, the cold that soaked her legs and the tips of her fingers. Maybe her body was cold, but she couldn't be sure.

Jegan was still seated, one arm that was originally around her shoulders now wrapped loosely around her waist, his back was slightly hunched and his head rested against Resee's. He had fallen asleep when dawn was breaking. Too much thinking and worrying.

Sayuri followed with a rather grim expression until they came to the courtyard. The feeling she encountered when she entered the courtyard was stifling and suffocating, with the emotions of tiredness, grief, worry, and amongst some other emotions she could not quite pinpoint but knew the feeling very well. She could see why now that Gerrand had that expression on his face when she had requested of him just a moment ago.

At least Resee and Jegan are sleeping now, she thought softly as she watched, feeling torn at the fatigued faces of them. Well, at least one of them is asleep... She had taken a quick glance at them at first, assuming them to be asleep but Resee still looked as if she were awake, watching her sister or looking as if everything was not true.

She couldn't approach them, nor could she think of anything to do. For the first time, she wasn't sure what she should do. Her urge to break down and cry for the situation almost overwhelmed her were it not for her common sense side telling her not to do so. She also felt afraid to approach Keira's limp body, for fear that Resee might lash out at anyone who got too close to her dying sister. Sayuri realized when she first arrived that Keira no longer seemed able to recover completely, even if she herself were to heal her, it was probably only going to hold off the inevitable of death... if Keira was to let her heal her at all, which was also the reason that did not let Sayuri move further from her spot to go towards the three.

She gripped at her chest, looking at the ground with remorse and pain. She couldn't do anything, nothing, at all for them for her magic was the thing that they all repelled, and most likely loathed. She was only surprised that she hadn't died yet... what with the hatred that was in this kingdom that it held for her. She could hear the whispers of the maids, all muttering things about Sayuri that was not even true, like such things as her being the one who injured Keira. (Although she has no idea how kind of true that is. D: )

She stepped behind Gerrand and rested her head against his back, whispering only loud enough for Gerrand to hear her as to not disturb the sleeping Jegan and hollow-like Resee, "Please don't move for a bit, if you could be so kind." Tears glittered down as they dropped to the floor with barely a sound. She held her hands close to her chest, as if trying to hold onto something that might disappear from her grasp if she lets go.

~~~

Eve fluttered nearby, landing on the roof to watch the events that came towards Sayuri, feeling mournful at her emotions. She turned her golden eyes towards the three in the middle of the courtyard. Keira was barely sleeping, her breaths ragged as she tried to sleep, Resee's blank expression and the fatigued sleeping face of Jegan. It was sobering to the extent that it felt quite suffocating, so Eve knew that Sayuri will be burdening herself for awhile... and quite unnecessarily so. She bowed her head down, sad as to the events as she remembered...

Even though he wasn't too affected by the heavy atmosphere, he could still feel the stifling emotion when he saw the trio. How may wars had he fought? Three? Four? It wasn't an unfamiliar sight and his heart had grown numb to such painful experiences. That didn't mean he couldn't symptahize, however. Resee's empty stare- he recognized it as a submission to fate.

Then he felt something rest against his back, and the mage's sorrow-filled request met his ears. Gerrand nodded mutely, turning his head as much as he could to catch a glimpse of her. "Are you well, my lady?" he asked, voice equally soft.

Sayuri didn't answer for a few minutes and she barely whispered, "I'll be fine in a moment."

She let herself relax, calming herself down and she looked up at Gerrand, her face looking as if she had not cried at all. She smiled weakly and said quietly, as to not disturb the three nearby, "Let's... move away from here."

Before she waited for his reply, she already began walking down another hallway, away from the trio. She knew if she were to go over to them, it would only bring pain to them, and that she could not do anything for them, except hold off the inevitably of death for Keira. She was also afraid of what she could do for Resee... she didn't know them all well enough where she could try to comfort her or them.
