Too problematic for my tastes."[/color] Viatrix the responded to Lucrecia's earlier comment, feeling that the maid gave her a little too much credit. She carefully took Akantha into her arms as she prepared to go off with her and Lyssa to the infirmary. The child glancing at her and Polina, Lucrecia returned the glance with a reassuring smile before the three went off. Leoniya then walked up to the three recruits, congratulating them on a job well done. [color=9e0039]"Ah, t'was nothing Madonna."[/color] She replied with a humble bow. [color=9e0039]"It was a matter of, how you say, "Teamwork makes the dream work." I believe that's the way the saying goes?"[/color] Bernadette was the next to make her presence known, confirming that she was able to reestablish communications. However, before she could finish she was snatched up by the Krysan maid, who declared she was going to cook up her apparent "signature" Stroganoff. [color=9e0039]"Truthfully, I am no stranger to cooking dishes using wine and ale. You'd be surprised how popular it is among certain affluent socialites."[/color] Replied Lucrecia to Leoniya and Bernadette [color=9e0039]"If I'm not overstepping my bounds, I'd be more than happy to- Gruhh!"[/color] She cut herself off making a sudden pained grunt, holding her back. It seemed the back wound she received during the mission hadn't fully healed at this point. Wincing a bit, she decided that it may be in her best interests to reunite with Akantha a bit early and pay the medical officer a visit. [color=9e0039]"Perdonami, Madonna, but I think I'll see Viatrix for a moment."[/color] She wasn't as familiar with demons as some of her other companions, but she imagined untreated wounds inflicted by them spell particular trouble down the line. She went in the direction the other three went and arrived at the entrance to the infirmary, seeing Viatrix beginning to attend to the other two. [color=9e0039]"Ciao Madonna!"[/color] Lucrecia said. [color=9e0039]"I hope you don't mind the sudden intrusion, but hopefully you're equipped to tend to a third person. I have a nagging back pain, from a demon wound no less..."[/color] She looked over at Akantha, waving a greeting at her. [color=9e0039]"Hello dearie, looks like we both could use a bit of a check up."[/color] She then looked over at Viatrix, her expression becoming more serious. [color=9e0039]"You haven't found any issues with her, have you?"[/color]
