Later on at the nearby hut that was a hospital, Silvetta and Claude, who were in azure gowns, fully recovered as their injuries were treated prior to them taking their rest. However, Silvetta did not bothered sleeping during her rest to heal. Mistress Mida could be seen coming inside the hut with Bronzica and Illumina at her side, approaching the two.

"Well, I have the fee paid off for you two," Mistress Mida said. "Now the only thing that I need to assure is how well you two are before we can actually leave safely."

"The doctors have not told us of our current conditions at the moment, but my wounds are healed, my lady," Silvetta answered.

"Good, but I can still wait for the final report," Mistress Mida said and then turned towards Claude. "... And you?"

[Skillkill]

Claude shrugged and sat up looking around. He couldn't remember much about the previous day and it would be best to check back to his journal later but he knew the situation well enough.

"Mine are as well. Thank you for your hospitality, Madam."

[SOS Mage]

"Good, now to get a doctor's report"

Mistress Mida then caught the attention of a doctor passing by. She then approached the doctor to ask her questions. Illumina sat at a nearby seat after hearing what she was hoping to hear and started reading a newspaper. Meanwhile, Bronzica walked up to Silvetta, putting her hammer down to hug her older sister.

"I'm glad you are okay, sister," Bronzica said. "I was getting so worried that- Well, nevermind what I said, I am just glad you are okay now."

"Thank you, sister," Silvetta answered, her face seemed indifferent in spite of the fact she clearly said it in gratitude. The silver-haired girl then stood up from her bed to look around for her weapons.

"Oh, don't worry, the Mistress has your weapons with her for safe keeping, sister," Bronzica answered as she pointed at Mistress Mida carrying Silvetta's sheathed swords on her own back. She then approached her older sister and gave her another hug.

Mistress Mida then returned with a doctor by her side.

"Well, I was told that both of you should have recovered over ten minutes ago," Mistress Mida answered.

The doctor bowed at the two patients and smiled warmly.

"Yes, however, you must restrain from intense physical activity for a few hours since your formally injured areas are still too soft to handle it without adjustment."

Silvetta nodded.

"I understand, mam"

[Skillkill]

Listening Claude looked a bit dejected when he noticed Silvetta's stoic behavior even towards her kin. Drifting off for a few minutes he heard the doctor and shook his head...

"I'll do my best, but I've never really been good at following doctor's orders..."

[SOS Mage]

"It's not too difficult to follow in all honesty," The doctor answered as she then wrote down on her notepad. "Just relax and avoid all intense physical activity whether it is physical labor, excercise, combat or anything of the like. In fact, I'd suggest both of you to restrain from even something as easy as doing chores for a few hours."

The doctor then looked up to Mistress Mida and handed her a piece of paper with a note.

"I understand that she works under your order, but do please take it easy on her for the next few hours so she can recover from her injuries," The doctor told the tall Youkai woman.

Mistress Mida nodded and said "I'll take your word for it and let her have a good break. Thank you very much."

Silvetta and Bronzica came over to Mistress Mida's side shortly after. Mistress Mida smiled as she looked down at her servants, then faced Claude and Illumina.

"Okay, I believe we can go now," Mistress Mida told the remaining two.

[Skillkill]

Claude smiled and nodded. The relaxing part he understood but it was remembering to keep calm is what worried him as he followed the others out...

[SOS Mage]

Mistress Mida lead her servants and Claude out of the hut after she called them to follow her. The moment they looked outside, the group spotted villagers fixing up all collateral damage the battle from earlier caused.

"... I should really apologize for this," Silvetta suggested as she began to feel guilty.

"Nonsense!" Mistress Mida said to Silvetta with a loud, reassuring tone. "I have this tooken care of since I can easily pay for this mere property damage you and Claude's battle delivered! Just relax, okay?"

Illumina walked up to Mistress Mida and held the newspaper she was reading, clearly showing a rather important article to the tall and extravagant Youkai.

"My lady, you may want to look at this"

Mistress Mida took the newspaper and began to read. Her eyes widened.

"Oh my...." Mistress Mida started her exclaim of excitement. "EXCELLENT!"

Mistress Mida tossed the paper back at her housekeeper, who caught it in her arms, and started to brisk off and lept on top of a lampost, looking down as she balanced on it.

"Illumina, Bronzica!"

"Yes, my lady?" Bronzica and Illumina replied willingly.

"It's time for yet another trip destination, so pack up now so we can head out!" Mistress Mida announced to the two before facing Claude and Silvetta.

"Do you need my help, my lady?" Silvetta asked.

"No, no, no," Mistress Mida answered wildly as she waved her septor around. "You and Claude shall remain in this humble and quiet town to relax and avoid any work for the next few hours."

Silvetta nodded.

"Do you need me to come at least, my lady?" Silvetta asked in further concern.

"No, you shall not follow me!" Mistress Mida shouted back with the tone of authority. "In fact, if I catch or find out that you are working and not relaxing, I shall punish you for defiance!"

"...." Silvetta paused for a moment at the rather deviating command, something she has never been demanded in quite a while. "Yes, my lady."

"Good, be a good girl, okay?" Mistress Mida said in a more pleasing tone. "Anymore questions?"

[Skillkill]

Listening Claude smiled and put his arms behind his head...

"It's not a problem though is i-"

Hearing Mida cut him off he sighed and listened as she began storming off. His fears confirmed by Mida's sharp order to tell her to quiet down

Claude tapped his chin and nodded. Before looking down at himself with a bit of a blush...

"Ah...just one. Do you have our clothes somewhere?"

[SOS Mage]

"Hm?"

Mistress Mida realized that the two were still in their hospital gowns and gasped.

"Oh my, I think I have been too sidetracked with, errr, a little something.."

Mistress Mida jumped off the lampost and then landed only to point at the hospital hut.

"Go back inside to get dressed!" Mistress Mida said as she seemed to be rushing. "Both of you, me and the rest have business to attend!"

Silvetta nodded.

"May I also have my swords back as well, my lady?"

Mistress Mida nodded rapidly and shouted "No, this would only encourage you to try and defy my order!"

"Plus they're just too valuable!"

"..." Silvetta paused before she spoke again. "Yes, my lady."

"Now, me, Bronzica and Illumina need to be heading off..." Mistress Mida exclaimed as she walked off briskfully. "Follow me, you two!"

"Yes, my lady!" Bronzica and Illumina answered in unison before following her.

[Skillkill]

Claude scratched his cheek...

"I guess I shouldn't ask for my swords back...Silvetta we should probably get dressed."

Heading back toward the hut he glanced back...

"Are you alright with that?"

[SOS Mage]

Silvetta nodded at Claude as she followed behind him.

"Yes, Mis- I mean Claude," Silvetta answered and blushed shamefully with her hands over her mouth before letting them down to her sides. "I apologize for that."

[Skillkill]

Feeling a little disheartened, Claude knelt down gently pat her on the head in an attempt to reassure her.

"Calm down Silvetta. It's not a big deal ya know?" Breaking into a smile he cracked his wrist and began scanning the room with his eyes.."Well then... let's find our clothes shall we?"

[SOS Mage]

Silvetta nodded.

"Affirmative," She answered as stoically as always.

With a few minutes of searching, the two would find their clothes hanging on a rack across their respective beds.

[Skillkill]

With a sigh he passed Silvetta's clothes back, before making his way to the corner...

"Hey uh...Do you enjoy working under Madam Mida?"

[SOS Mage]

Silvetta, who also splitted away from Claude to dress with her head turned the opposite direction, started gertting dress as she listened to Claude speak.

"You can initially see it that way, however," Silvetta continued as she pushed her arms into the sleeves of her shirt. "I take much gratitude in my work as I respect my Mistress for providing me help to avoid any conflict during the Great Youkai War long ago as well as any political conflict in general. She also provides me with everything I desire as long as I serve her."

Silvetta then was nearly finished dressing.

[Skillkill]

Feeling impatient glanced back for a moment...

"I noticed you liked working for her but...I'm kind of worried by the fact she gave the impression that's almost all you would do if given the option."

[SOS Mage]

Silvetta finished dressing up a few seconds after Claude had glanced back at her.

"It is the only option," Silvetta answered. "It was a decision I made for the good of myself and that of my own younger sister."

[Skillkill]

Claude frowned and turned back heading over to where Silvetta was so he could get dressed

"I meant no offense I just wondered," Sighing he slipped on his pants "Why you were always so reserved..."

[SOS Mage]

With her back remaining faced at Claude while turned away, Silvetta paused for a moment as she took a deep and quiet breath.

"I guess you can say it is how I am and who I am," Silvetta answered. "Are you complete with your dressing process... Claude?"

[Skillkill]

Slipping on his jacket and zipping it to hide the tears from the fight he nodded...

"Yeah I am. I guess I felt a little aloof with Madam Mida's boisterous mannerisms." Tapping his chin he sighed..."Well I don't know you very well, so what do you normally eat?"
