Scarlett Verneer - Battle At Mo Entrance - Grim

Sera, what would you say to all this? Caius Valentine alive and working for the Court. I should tell him I suppose. Do I owe him at least that?

Scarlett walked slowly towards the bench holding Telnor with a conflicted expression written across her face. Her eyes fixed firmly on the floor. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair realising the problem would take much more consideration. The soothing notes of the Vessel?s music felt like a cold ocean wave washing across her body and Scarlett closed her eyes smiling at the vanishing aches and pain brought on by the battle. She rubbed the back of her neck and looked down at Telnor.

?Vergil. Is he going to be ok??

At least we are finally heading North now. I haven?t been home for years? maybe I should see her? The one bright spark in my otherwise dark life.

Vergil Crawford - Battle At Mo Entrance (Aftermath) - Grim

After examining Telnor, Vergil sat down on the bench next to Scarlett.

"Telnor should be okay, Scarlett. Whatever has caused him to go blind will take sometime to heal. In any case, how is that scar you got, do you want me to do anything about it? I could stitch it up if needs be, and if you want me to." Vergil replied to Scarlett's question, he then asked another.

"Tell me, who was that you were fighting? Was it someone you knew? Because it seemed like it." He asked as he washed some sweat away with some water from a fountain.

Scarlett looked a little tired and smiled weakly in response to Vergil question. ?It feels a little better now, thanks to the Vessel, but if you could stitch it up that would be much appreciated. Although I fear it has opened up old wounds on my back and no amount of healing or magic can ever remove that scar. I shall carry it for life.?

"Sometimes scars can remind us of fond memories, both good and bad in their own little way. That one does look deep mind you, judging by the style of the scar, I say that magic was involved, I presume? Anyway, give me a few minutes, and I should have this fresh scar sorted.? He replied to Scarlett?s query.

Vergil then pulled out some needle and thread he used for making fuses for bombs. He carefully threaded the needle, making sure to tie a knot at both ends so that during the procedure, the thread didn?t fall out. He seemed to work with the skill and precision of a master tailor, and within about three minutes, Vergil had finished sewing up the scar that Scarlett received earlier.

"There you go, one fresh battle scar sewn up. Luckily, I managed to not hit any pre-existing scars you may have had, especially that one you mentioned earlier." He finished with as Vergil cut the loose end of thread with his wrist blade, and then returned the needle and thread to an inner pocket of his coat. He then returned to his seat.

Telnor- Entrance to Mo- Grim

Telnor felt the healing magic wash over and his numerous cuts start to heal up, if not close all the way but he still couldn't see.

"I think I'm blind Vergil. During the fight something seemed to happen to my eyesight. I could see the movements of my opponent and could almost predict what he was going to do. Maybe it was just too much for my eyes and they just shut down. I hope its temporary because I don't know how I'm going to manage if it isn't. I have never had anything like this happen to me before. A couple times before I had something similar where I could almost see their movements but I thought that was just from training and experience. Never could I see their every movement."

"You know I was more than capable of applying some antiseptic to the scar. But I suppose if you want some input, be my guest, here consider this one as a replacement." He remarked towards The Vessel, sounding put off at the prospect. He then tossed her a bottle of clear coloured antiseptic to her as he stepped away from the scene.

Before he was out of earshot, he could hear Telnor calling him about how his blindness came about.

"Hmm, it seems you may have tapped into some hidden power." He added.

"Play something interesting. Vergil replied to The Vessel's query.

"Another thing, how come you didn't thank me for the free antiseptic? Is there something about me you don't like? Something that doesn't warrant a simple response." He further added, whilst his words sounded angry, he spoke in a calm manner.

"I don't know, there is just something about you that reads, 'I do not like this guy, there is just something about him that I disagree with, yet I don't want to bring it up, just in case I hurt his feelings'." Vergil replied with, sounding somewhat frustrated, but not angry.

"For example, when I hugged you earlier, you pushed me away. I know you said that was unexpected, but I was just trying to be nice. I was only trying to let you open up more, I thought I saw you in an unhappy mood, and I was just trying to help you regain some happiness." He further added, sounding calmer now.

?You just seem rather reserved thats all. I shall speak no more of it.? Vergil replied with in a rather dulcet tone of voice.

?In any case, since it is likely that the lot of us are going to be together for a while at least, we should get to know each other.? He then added.

"Anything really. Your past perhaps? Your relationship with your parents? How you came to be who your are today? Sorry if these seem like sensitive topics, its just that, by asking these questions, I could paint a better portrait of you, figuratively speaking of course, I am no artist in the traditional sense, only in the skills that I was taught in."

Scarlett looked down at Telnor on the bench and placed a firm hand on his shoulder. ?You?ll be ok, don?t panic, just take a rest for a moment.?

Standing up she walked over to Vergil and the Vessel and crossed her arms, she was interested in finding out more about the Vessel?s past but she looked more than a little uneasy about explaining it.

?Why don?t you start with the basics? How was it that you came to be gifted with this ability in music??

"Yeah, he was a famous composer and harp maker if I'm not mistaken. Isn't it known that one of the three harps he made was buried with him, near the grounds of the Grand Theatre in The Upper District. Whilst the second was given to the College of Musicians, as a token of gratitude, if I remember correctly." Vergil responded to The Vessel's question, showing some level of interest.

"This is only hazarding a guess mind you, but I presume that the harp in your possession is the third one. It does share some of the similarities of the other two, the quality of the sound it makes, enhanced through your skills no doubt, makes it a euphroic cornucopia of sound. A feast for the eyes, as well as the ears. Was I right?" Vergil replied to The Vessel's challenge, finishing off with a sly little smile, and a slight giggle.
