[ In fact, Rezo had nearly gone to check on Zelgadis when he'd first caught the sound of rain. Being a chimera didn't mean Zelgadis was immune to getting wet, or cold, or sick- but when he'd told the innkeeper he was going to check on his companion she'd let him know that she'd seen him sleeping sheltered by an overhang, and since it wasn't particularly windy nor raining heavily he'd decided to leave Zelgadis be and concentrate on the patients.

Still, even as he's trying to coax magical energy through the organs of a particularly catatonic patient, Rezo can't help but keep an ear out for the weather to get worse. The weather doesn't get worse, but instead he's jarred by- ]


Ah-?

[ The innkeeper looks over from the patient she's attending to, surprised by the priest's exclamation. "What's the matter?" ]

I heard shouting.

[ "Really? I can't hear anything..." ]

I'll go take a look.

[ The innkeeper still seems dubious, but Rezo ignores her in favor of sweeping his way out of the inn. Though he does hope she's right, and he's just being overly cautious.

As ever, they're not that lucky. Rezo hears the sound of Zelgadis's heavy footsteps before Zel even speaks up, and comes to a stop partway between the inn and the place where Zel had been resting.

The explanation is brief, but it doesn't need to be complicated. ]


The mazoku.

[ Rezo just hopes it's something he can treat with Flow Break, rather than anything more stubborn. If Rezo can't make up for this mistake quickly, then... ]

Let's sit down somewhere, and I'll take care of it. Are you hurt?
