Aleth sighed, surprises...surprises. Entering the room, she tried to look the best she could, as well as trying to hide her slight disability.
Opening her mouth to talk she was cut off when the cleric said,"I can't regrow an arm you know," right before taking another sip continuing,"If there is nothing else, please leave me be." It only took one look at her for the woman to realize she had lost an arm?
"Umm no, its just that there was a girl in pain...not to far away. I'm not sure whats wrong and was told to get help, so can you come with us?" she almost stuttered the last part, but she got the point through.
"Right now shes resting in the bakery, we have a hor-" before she could finish, the woman lifted her hand to signal for a stop.
"That is quite enough, young lady, I'll see to it immediately, it would have been quicker perhaps if your friend talked to me beforehand." In one elegant movement, she took hold of the staff and rushed out. Aleth wasn't sure to be mad at her rudeness or at Rayl.

"Likewise." he said. She had a sweet voice, which he hoped matched her perfectly."Go ahead, ask the obvious questions, I don't mind." Now that he thought about it, he didn't really know much about girls. He had met two when he first traveled to Ostia, Alexia and Katara, but he had only met them.

Rayl smiled although he frowned then he turned when the Cleric came out, and the few steps he took back he prayed were not noticable," Well madame, if you would like a lift there on my hor-"
"No that is quite alright sir knight. The fresh air would do me some good. Besides, I know where the bakery is! They make great rolls there!" With this, the cleric went on her way while using her staff as a walking stick, leaving Rayl to watch for awhile with a blank look on his face, before turning back to Aleth," Alright then...need a lift back?"

"Nah, I'll race you!" Aleth shouted right after taking a head-start back towards the bakery. Hopefully she knew her way around town without Rayl. Running made all her worries go away, even though its only temporary of course. Just before rounding another corner she noticed that a resident seemed to have dropped their load. She tried to resist the urge to help, but it became a habit to help others in a town. Bending down, she carefully started to pick up fruits and return them to the woman's basket. Eventually they were done and she got a tip on a shortcut plus a free apple. Somehow after helping various people, she managed to make her way back to the bakery.

Sakura opened her eyes and tilted her head. Had many people asked about his sash before? She had already assumed that it was there because of Ralph being blind. Was that wrong to think that? She looked down at her folded hands and thought for a moment. "I... I needn't ask." She cooed sadly, the pain in her skull growing with each heartbeat. Within seconds, it felt like her heart had moved up her chest and into her head. Another panic attack? Perhaps worse than the last? But no, being a cleric, she knew that it wasn't just another attack, however as a cleric in training, she knew not what it was. She clutched her head in agony and moaned, her torso beant over her legs and her head between her knees. She felt like screamining, but she didn't. She was stronger than that.

"Hey, you okay? Is this common for you?" He heard the door open. "That might be the healer, I'll be back." He walked down the stairs to the bakery, where Bill was baking a cake. "The sword-carrying girl is back, how's the other girl?" "Let's hope Rayl could get that healer." He looked toward the door, as if he could actually see Aleth, "How did it go?" he asked.

Rayl simply watched as she ran off like a littler child, and couldn't help but smile and remember that little sickly girl that traveld with them for a time...Jya, was it? She was a nice little girl, too bad he got seperated from her...wonder what happened to her. Rayl then shrugged before leading his off and back towards the direction of the bakery, where he'd say goodbye before heading off to report back to Castle Pherae, otherwise who knows what would happen?
He was last to arrive, The cleric arriving first, then Aleth second...

Aleth rushed into the bakery almost bumping into a customer. Somehow she managed to beat Rayl and his horse, perhaps he got distracted helping the others. Running up into the room, she took a comfortable stand near the back of the room and away from the cleric so she could concentrate. Hopefully the problem was nothing more than a fluke and everyone can go back to being happy and dandy. Life was never like that up till now though...

Once the cleric arrived at the bakery, she went straight up to the back room without a word. There she saw a young girl, curled up in pain. She sighed and gracefully swept herself overto the side of the bed, resting her hand on Sakura's shoulder. "Lay back," The healer directed. Sakura hesitated and looked up with teary eyes. Before her was an elderly lady with a staff. A cleric? "Lay back, child, and I will fix you." This time, the young maiden did as directed and pulled back slowly, resting her head on the pillow behind her. The woman inspected the girl, and nodded to herself. "I'm going to heal you, but it will knock you out for a little while. The problem is your head. It seems you have bruised the skull and bumped your brain a little. Are you ready?" Despite asking, the older cleric didn't wait for a response. She held her staff to the young cleric's forhead and spoke a few words that were inaudible. Within seconds, the staff was glowing and Sakura was drifting asleep. But this time, she was smiling in peaceful relief.

Rayl patted his horse on the side before dismounting, and heading inside right when everything was done. He observed the peacefully sleeping girl, the blind man who helped her, the cleric ( who he was distant from), and Aleth, before nodding to them," Well, my job here is done, I must return to the castle before the sun fully sets. It's been an honor to meet you al, and a pleasure to see you again, Aleth." With a salute and a smile, he turned his back to them all (oh the irony), and headed on out, looking back every now and then:
Duty often distracted from friends.

"Hey Rayl!" Ralph yelled out to the leaving cavalier. "Don't you want to stay for some cake?" Regardless of whether or not Rayl returned, Bill's cake was finished. And it smelled delicious. "Feel free to have some," he said to Aleth, "It's on the house."

"Thanks, but it would be nice if we all could eat together, especially with that kid." Aleth said still concerned. She didn't want to leave anybody out, it would be so much more fun to have a meal together.
"Rayl do me a favor and stay awhile. I haven't ate with friends for awhile now..."

( Lol impending Arthur TV show reference in this short post.)
Around this point Rayl popped his head back into the room," Did somebody say: cake?!" he then stepped back inside, and took a seat somewhere," You know I used to be baker part time when training to be a cavalier in Laus...good times."

Bill came out of the kitchen with a steaming cake. Its sweet aroma soon filled the air. "There you are friends, one fresh Ilian pound cake. " said Bill. The large muscled man grinned, and returned to the kitchen. "Thanks Bill." said Ralph, "Dig in."

Rayl helped himself to a slice, and slowly returned to his seat, a big smile on his face...he never took his sight off the cake, and yet never took a bite of it...he was down memory lane again...
"You know...this was the first type of cake I learned to make back in the olden days...I remember when I first tried...I was scrapping dough off the ceiling for that seemed like forever! It was pretty amusing..." he looked up at them for a moment, shrugged, and took a bite," But the main point here is- d-mn this is good cake."
