[The grumpearl projects an image and this time it's of A.B.A, her chimeric form sprawled across one of Oran's many beds. She looks tired, more than usual, and especially for someone who's been out of commission for a couple of months.]

...It would appear that I've fallen ill. I'm...disappointed in myself, I don't fall ill, I'm supposed to be better than that. I survive, I rise, I'm supposed to be filled with potential. ...It's this body, it's weak, even now it's weak. Mightyena was kind enough to allow me back into the guild, and that's where I'll continue to recover. It feels bad... I feel bad...

[A pause.]

...I was aware throughout most of it, at least...I think I was. A lot of it amalgamated with my thoughts, swirling, like a dream. ....I know some of you were there, although it's possible that was also part of the dream. You should tell me if you were actually there or not, s-so I know what the reality really was. Please say you were there...

What else... Oh!

Before I succumbed, a very rude mongoose was able to tell me what my Pokémon species is called. She called it Type: Full. I like that...

...

[At this point, A.B.A isn't sure how to end her message, her stray thoughts just sort of...slipping out.]

I'm not sure what else to say...

I'm hungry. I can't buy snacks stuck in bed...

Comments

[quirkynote]

Yes... Yes, we are...

[The thrilling, fuzzy feeling doesn't stop as she clutches her head with her talon and grins.]

Forgive me... I...didn't have many friends before arriving here... I'm still getting used to...this.

[She somehow manages to gesture to her own feelings.]

[moondregs]

Yeah. Me too.

Was there anything aside from snacks that you needed?

[quirkynote]

[A.B.A lowers her head, her voice softened despite this being a psychic connection. What the psychic connection does do, however, is amplify her feeling of vulnerability right now.]

...Company.

[moondregs]

[ There's not even a beat of thought as he gives a firm nod of his head. ]

I'll be there soon.

[ It's lucky the guilds are all friendly with each other! Junpei is able to get permission to see her, walking in after about an hour with a little bag in his mouth. ]

So-ee ahm late.

[ Talking while holding a bag in your mouth isn't easy. ]

[quirkynote]

[As Junpei masters the twisting tunnels that make up The Spire, making it to the room A.B.A is currently resides in, the aforementioned A.B.A can be found still resting in her bed. She's awake at least, forelegs crossed casually like she's just been chilling here and not doing much else.

It's because of this that the occasional visits are pretty much her only source of entertainment right now, so it shouldn't be surprising when she whips her head in his direction the moment he makes a sound.]

You came... And so soon. Just like you said you would. I'm so glad.
