You decide to wait for Reisen. A small sound reaches your ears, coming
from within the room. It seems that Reisen’s humming. That’s good to
hear. You’re glad that she’s in a good mood. You lean against the wall
opposite the door and continue to wait. Thoughts of what might be for
breakfast fill your head, but your reverie is quickly interrupted by a
quick little scream and a thud. That came from inside the room! You
rush into the room to see if Reisen is alright, and see her lying on
the futon, wearing only her button up shirt. Her skirt lies around her
ankles and she’s clutching her leg. You are instantly by her side and
asking if she’s alright.
<Ah. Yes, I’m fine, my leg just really hurts today. I think I
over did it last night yelling at Tewi.> Reisen sighs, before
realizing that her skirt is around her ankles. She turns bright red.
<AH! NO PEEKING.> She pulls her dress shirt down while
trying to reach for her skirt to pull it up. She can’t quite reach. You
tell her that you’ll help. You slide her skirt up to where she can
reach it.
<T-thank you. > She quickly puts the skirt into place and zips it up. You ask her if she thinks she can stand.
<I’m not sure.> She thinks for a moment. <Let me try. . .>
She pushes herself up and starts to stand up, only to loose her
balance again. This time you’re here to catch her, so she doesn’t hit
the ground. She still squeaks when she starts to fall though. She lays
in your arms a moment, eyes closed before she seems to realize where
she is. Her blush deepens.
<Ah. . . It would seem that I can’t quite yet.> She opens
her eyes slightly and peeks out at you. You smile down at her, and tell
her that there’s no choice then. You’ll have to carry her. Before she
can protest you sweep her up in your arms. You ask her why she didn’t
have Sanae fix her leg yesterday.
<Ah. . . I figured she would have been tired from treating you,
and I didn’t want to be a bother to her. Besides we’d just gotten here,
and I was more intent on making sure you were ok, and understood. .
.>
Ah, well. That clinches it. You tell Reisen that the two of you
are going to find Sanae now, so that Reisen can get her leg fixed.
<Ah! But! But!> Reisen starts to protest, but you quickly
cut her off, telling her that the two of you are going to find Sanae,
and that’s final. Reisen brings her hands up to her mouth and starts
chewing on one of her fingers nervously.
<Al-alright. Let’s go then.>
You walk back out into the hall, carrying Reisen, and slide the
door shut behind you with your foot. Now, where to look for Sanae.
