Femesh Daer Area - Day 4 - 8:12

"So that's what the term means", Timea said plainly, and followed it up by a more venomous; "Disgusting".

After, Timea stood up, and began heading back to Femesh Daer. "Well, let's get going, then."

Anik nodded in agreement, to both 'disgusting' and 'let's get going', saying "Yes." and stood up as well, following Timea back into Femesh Daer. The former nervousness about entering a city did not seem to affect her anymore, even though she did not notice it herself. Sensing their hearts, Anik pointed directly into the direction where the group was, not knowing if there were buildings in between. "We need to go into this direction to find them." she said.

Femesh Daer - Day 4 - 8:16

Timea only cast a cursory glance to the direction Anik pointed in, already knowing where to find the others by their scents. She noticed Anik seemed to have less trouble being around people, and while pleased to know she wouldn't have to talk about the problem, didn't ask what changed, not really caring enough, nor being in the mood for such talk, when it wasn't necessary.

She lead Anik to the group, and announced the arrival by saying, "here we are." After, she stood back, she considered going about her own business, but decided to stay around, and listen what Anik would report.

After, she had enough of being around people, herself, and announced to Anik she wanted to be alone, heading to the coast, and waiting there until it was time to leave for Vesh.

"I don't really have a memory." Robin told Solaire. "I woke up in this world and I can't remember my life before that. I know how to talk and use magic and do other things, but I remember nothing of my history or homeland."

Femesh Daer - Day 4 - 8:16

Anik would presumably interrupt Robin and the others as they lifted weights. Not caring about what they were doing, she called out: "Robin! I have some information I think you should at least be aware of."

"Oh dear. That sounds all too similar to hollowing..." Solaire said. "You aren't undead, are you?"

"Remember when I first warned you about Yeager, because he is a weapons merchant, and because he has no heart?" Anik said, while walking closer with her cane.

Robin nodded, then mentally slapped himself for being stupid and spoke instead. "Yes. I talked with him. I'm still not really sure what to make of him."

10:00
Robin thought for a second. "I still need to eat and breath and sleep. I don't know how undeath works in your world, but I'm alive by this world's standards. What effects does Hollowing have?"

"Gradual loss of memories, to the point where one will become a mindless husk of a person, attacking anything that comes nearby just to take its souls." Solaire explained, forlorn. "But it would be rather obvious if you were undead, as you would have to have died before! So you have no need to worry, friend."

"Well, there's that at least." Robin said with a small smile, slightly depressed by the description of hollowing. "Are you... hollow?" he asked tentatively.

"No, I still have all my wits about me. It does not matter how many times I may perish, as long as I keep my resolve strong in finding my own Sun, I shall not go hollow. I will not let it happen before I reach my goal."

"Very well. You see, I sense 8 hearts in this city, who feel different ... suppressed, somehow. And I went to investigate what they were - apparently they were Yeagers employees.
He did not have employees before, and these seemed like Calibetheans ... but changed. What do you think about this?"
Anik said, as she stopped and stood before Robin.

"...he's changing people somehow?" Robin asked. "That is troubling. Did you ask him about these... workers?"

OoC: Sorry, but I gotta go for a bit.

"Not much, sadly. He would not tell me anything, unless I paid him a lot of money ... which I don't have.
But that's reason for suspicion, right? ... The only thing he said was that these employees would be fine, and it was a side effect of a little boost. Did not sound like it was completely voluntarily, however."
Anik said, showing what little of a worrying facial expression she could show.

"That is worrying." Solaire commented to Anik, since I think he would be nearby at this time. "But what it this heart-sensing ability of yours, and what was different?"

"Thank you, but I'm just a humble knight, I am not looking for praise." Solaire replied to Robin.

Anik, who could sense Solaires heart full of foolish faith, because he still had his humanity, answered, as shortly as possible, because she had explained it so often already:
"I know what people carry in their hearts, and how healthy their hearts are, often. These hearts weren't, they were suppressed, presumably by something Yeager did. And he, himself, he has no heart. ... And I think you can imagine what a person without heart, without the things you connect to it, like your virtues, are."
