As young Jin slid the door closed, Kerry stood on the threshold, wide eyed at this particular revelation. As this news swam in her mind, she took the time to scan the other houses. She could go to another house to ask again.....and that's what she did.

Only to get the same answer. No illness or disease. So, naturally, she went to the last house. Fourth verse, same as the first.

Everyone in this meager village said there was no disease here. In fact, now that she noticed it, the place looked untouched by war as well, as there was no evidence of Varjans running through here. Which told her two possible explanations:

[color=fff79a][i]Either we're in the wrong village....or someone's bullshitting.[/i][/color]

Eyes narrowing, Kerry marched straight back toward the first house, sliding the door wide open and making her return known to all inside. Before anyone could greet her.....and before Relica could commit first degree murder in full view of witnesses, she cut them off.

[color=fff79a]"Ah, there's our....'monk'."[/color], Kerry began as she slid the door closed. Relica and Eula would then pick up on the demeanor and tone the hornet now took on. Leaning back against the door with her arms crossed, Kerry appeared laid-back and nonchalant, a complete contrast to how she was a couple of minutes ago. But her eyes and voice told them something else:

[i]She was suspicious at the monk and was being interrogative now.[/i]

[color=fff79a]"So, I found out something interesting while I was out and about."[/color], she continued her statement the monk. [color=fff79a]"I went over to the house next door, you know to see who else fell under to this 'disease' you speak of. You know what the kid who answered the door said? No one is sick over there. [b]No one in the village is.[/b] So, like anyone with a shred of a brain would do, I went over to the next house to confirm this. I got the same answer there, too. And before you ask, yes, I did go to the last house, 'cause screw it, let's do all of them. Same answer. All the while, it got me thinking of everything that came up on our way here, to this point in time."[/color]

Kerry then turned her attention to Relica and Eula.

[color=fff79a]"Isn't odd that the only Varjans we've ran into was the Elite-led patrol we fought some ways back? Given how tiny this village is, I wouldn't put it pass those pricks to miss this place completely. And the only person even remotely under the weather here is the kid in bed and that's because he ate something he wasn't supposed to eat. Also, Rel, remember that question you asked earlier? How [b]would[/b] our 'monk' know just how contagious the disease is after, as he claimed, the Varjans had been through here?"[/color]
