Miwa listened to Jazdia's words with solemn silence and respect. The weight of her words made it clear of how serious whatever curse that afflicted her was and how urgent her situation was. While it would be harder to do something about her curse without the proper preparation and place, it still wasn't impossible.

The moment Miwa's hands touched Jazdia though, she immediately felt a searing heat in her mind as the curse's true form revealed itself. Shockingly enough, it wasn't anything like most curses Miwa had seen during her time in the temple. The vast majority of curses were born out of malice and their form and appearance reflected that aspect. This one was different though. Taking the form of a pale flaming aura around Jazdia, a flaming halo and shards of light around her back while thorny vines descended from the sky, binding her wrists. Despite it's appearance though, the searing heat Miwa felt the moment she touched Jazdia, revealed the malice behind that curse, almost as if it was claiming Jazdia as it's own, showing an aggressive possessiveness. 

While the initial shock and the searing heat were enough to make Miwa flinch and open her eyes wide, instead of simply pulling away, her grip on Jazdia's hands became firmer as she looked not to Jazdia herself but to the curse floating above her with an inquisitorial stare, bearing the pain almost as a direct challenge to the curse itself. Despite the pain, she made sure to hold as much as she could in order to get as much information about that curse as she could, before she let go with an exhausted gasp, recoiling from the pain.

[color=6ecff6]"It... It will be hard... But with a some luck, not impossible."[/color] Miwa said after taking a moment to recover herself, carefully choosing her words. She didn't want to lie to Jazdia but at the same time, she knew the last thing the elf woman needed right now was hearing something that would make her even more hopeless.

[color=6ecff6]"It seems to be far different than a normal curse. Without proper preparation and a consecrated place to conduct the ritual... We will need as much information about this curse as we can to try and dispel it... Or at least contain it."[/color] Miwa said, turning to Fia with a serious expression before she carefully described to her what she saw and felt as she touched Jazdia's hands.

[color=6ecff6]"The Library... It indeed might be exactly what we need. At least we know what to search for."[/color] Miwa said with a determined expression. The pain she felt while holding Jazdia's hands wasn't for nothing. She was able to get a very good look at the curse's form and appearance before she had to let go.

[color=6ecff6]"Even if we do not find a way to completely break it, I am sure we might find a way to contain it. Perhaps for long enough for me to take you to the temple. Regardless, I promise you I will do everything in my power to help you."[/color] Miwa said, with a kind smile to Jazdia, another reminder that despite her appearance and personality, she was still a miko.

[color=6ecff6]"Can I count with you as well?"[/color] she asked, turning to Fia.

It was exactly at that moment, when Miwa took a glance around her to check on the others that she saw a rather strange scene. Akari, wearing a [i]very[/i] revealing swimsuit entering the river after asking for an embarrassed Elc for a bucket to fish and for the other two mercenaries to gather some water for the trip.

[color=6ecff6]"Wha- Akari?! What is this?"[/color] Miwa asked, bewildered at the scene she was looking at.

[color=6ecff6]"You! If you want to help, please go upstream to get some water!"[/color] Miwa said, angrily walking towards the river as she shooed away the one mercenary who remained.

Approaching Elc, she gently turning him away from Akari delicately pushed him towards the camp where Jazdia was.

[color=6ecff6]
"Mr Elc, I think I heard Jazdia mentioning she wanted to talk with you!"[/color] Miwa said before she went towards Akari.

[color=6ecff6]"Don't you think it's too shameless to display yourself like that?! At least ask me, Jazdia, Fia or Eblana to assist you instead of asking half of the males in our group!"[/color] Miwa said, scolding Akari as she continued fishing.

[color=6ecff6]"I do commend you for the initiative to gather food and water for the trip but you should think better than to show yourself like this!"[/color] Miwa continued, still scolding Akari.
