Revival

[[OOC: After Ragnar struck a deal with Abe no Seimei, Gyda is given a new living body by magic.]]


Ragnar comes in through the front door, held open by Abe no Seimei, who however stays back, and closes the door behind him.

He is carrying his daughter Gyda in his arms; she seems sick, or perhaps very, very exhausted.

He looks around, for his friends or Gyda's.

Weak as she is, Gyda manages to look around, both proud at what just happened, but almost hoping she doesn't recognize anyone. She still feels tired and weak, but she doesn't want to give the impression that she needs this much help either.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Shall we sit on the sofa?" Ragnar offers.

There, she would seem less helpless, just exhausted.

[like_quicksilver]

She meant to be seated at the table, but for how tired she felt. "Sofa, the side closest by one of the tables."

Hopefully she could pull off trying to eat something.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar deposits her on a sofa, in easy reach of a side table.

"Hot chocolate?" he suggests.

[like_quicksilver]

She tried to sit herself up, resting on the tops of her knees. "Yes..and some toast with jam." She needed something to eat, but hot chocolate seemed like a really good idea.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar orders it (and a cup of mead for himself) from the rats, and flops on the couch beside her.

"Do you feel different?" he asks.

[like_quicksilver]

She looks at herself and her arms, shaking them a little. "Not..not really? Only very sore." How was she supposed to feel?

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Not more alive yet?"

[like_quicksilver]

She frowned. "Well, I felt 'alive' already. Atleast here.." She looked past him to the wall. "The only way we'll know is..is if I can make it through your door?"

She didn't want to think on that. Not because of fear, but she'd been away from home for so long. If she was able to go back...she wasn't sure if she'd be able to contain herself.

A rat returned with their drinks and a plate of toast for Gyda.

Both okay?

[runningred]

Jay spots them on the couch and gives them a nod. "Ragnar, Gyda. You guys okay?"

Ragnar's kinda, sorta a friend and Gyda is one of the scouts. Don't hurt to look out for them.

Re: Both okay?

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Guess so," Ragnar says, grinning at Jay from over his mead. "There was magic."

He looks at Gyda, as it's her story to tell.

Re: Both okay?

[like_quicksilver]

She recognizes Jay from scouts and gives him a small wave. For still being tired, she was able to eat one of the whole toast slices already. "We're fine..I was given another body."

If there's hesitance in her voice (and there was), it was because she wasn't really sure how to go around saying it. She knew Jay was aware of her 'issue', but even so, there's a difference between knowing and being able to say it. Plus, they weren't even sure if it would've worked in the first place.

[runningred]

Jay raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment. He knows her situation and how huge it is to have changed. "Wow. Congrats." He looks her over briefly. "You look pretty shook up, Gyda? Do you need anything?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Let's get her to a couch," Ragnar suggests.

They can talk when settled.

[like_quicksilver]

She let him carry her to the sofa. Much as she would've liked to move herself, she knew her legs wouldn't have the strength to. "I need something to eat."

Not just because this body hadn't eaten anything yet, but the smells coming from the tavern were making her stomach growl like mad.

[runningred]

Jay clears the way, making sure there's a blanket ready for Gyda. "I'll get you something. What do you feel like?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar puts her on the sofa and makes sure she is comfortable.

[athelstanthescribe]

"Ragnar!" Athelstan arrives at a run. "Is she all right?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Athelstan!" Ragnar calls back. "It worked! This is a new Gyda!"

[athelstanthescribe]

He reaches to help support her weight, more because he wants to than because Ragnar needs him to.

"Wonderful", he says softly.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Let's get her to the couch," Ragnar says. "Seimeimsaid she'd be weak as a kitten at first."

[athelstanthescribe]

She's drowsed off, in fact.

"When she wakes, we can get her something to eat."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"And hot chocolate," Ragnar says. "Seimei said she wouldn't be able to eat much at first. After all, this is a brand-new body which has never eaten before."

With Athelstan's help, he gently deposits her on a sofa.

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan nods, his arm protectively around Gyda.

"Nothing too rich, then, to begin with."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar sits beside them, on the other side of Gyda.

"Soup first, maybe," he says. "When she wakes up."

Np point in ordering it when she might sleep for hours.
