Hime's Medieval Adventures
The next morning Hime awakens with nothing more than a sore spot on her head but no recollection of how she got to her bed. Really, she should ask about the things in between but she decides against it. After all, it's her second to last day there so it would be better to not stir anything up and just get these last two days over with.

Hime's Medieval Adventures
As Sebastian returns to the castle with a sleeping Hime in his arms, Gretchen's cryptic words still raddles his brain. Like snake's venom? What does that even mean? Sebastian was poison to everyone around him; he knew that. He thought that at least. But Hime? This girl? One so gentle and patient? One that his own brother seemed to favor so much that he was willing to disobey their father just to show her off? One that looked at him with eyes that weren't so harsh and disgusted? She is like snake's venom? Impossible.
Sebastian: I never could understand Gretchen and her sayings.
Sebastian carefully hesitantly pushes the door to the servants quarters. He would simply place her in her bed and leave without disturbing anyone or anything. Well, he intended to. He certainly wasn't expecting someone to be awake.
Julia: Oh! Your Highness!
Sebastian was not good with people. Not most people anyway.
Sebastian: Ah. Hello. I-I um..s-she bumped her head and passed out s-so I'm returning her.
Julia: Hime? She's been gone all day. We were worried.
Sebastian: Right, well she's back now s-so...
Julia: That's very kind of you. I apologize for the trouble she caused you. I'll take her
Sebastian: *more harshly than intended* No. I've got her; just tell me where her bed is.
Julia: *steps back started from his sharp tone* She sleeps in the middle bed-
Without another word, Sebastian hurries over to Hime's bed and gently lays her down. He stays only long enough to remove her earmuffs before he darts out of the room without looking back.

Hime's Medieval Adventures
Gretchen: So, when did they return?
Sebastian: *sighs* ...A few a months ago.
Gretchen: Are you still having the nightmares?
Sebastian: They're a packaged deal. I'm not fortunate to have one without the other.
Gretchen: That is unfortunate..*suddenly stares pass him into the bedroom at Hime*..Sebastian, what do you know about that girl in there?
Sebastian: ...mm..not much really. Hime doesn't talk about herself much.
Gretchen: Oh? But you seem so close.
Sebastian: I'm merely teaching her to read. That's all.
Gretchen: That's all? It seems to be more than that. Actually, it seems more peculiar than that.
Sebastian: What does that mean?
Gretchen: *pondering aloud more to herself than to him* You two are two of a kind. So troubled and so much trouble. Almost like snake venom.
Sebastian: Gretchen, after all these years, I'm still no better with this cryptic language of yours. Could to you tone it down?
Gretchen: *mischievously* No. It's a lot more fun this way...
Gretchen chuckles a little to herself for a moment as she closes her eyes. When she reopens them, her smile fades. She looks serious. Eerily so.
Gretchen: But Sebastian, understand this...while you two aren't cursed, you will cause each other a lot of pain, and in turn also be each others cure to that pain. In that respect it is a sort of a curse. Just one you'll only suffer from if you continue to fight it....anyway, it's late. You should take her back before your brother goes looking for her. You know he hates it when his favorite "possesses" get lost.

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
Sebastian follows Gretchen into the house without another word. 
For a few minutes the two childhood friends sat in the quiet listening to the fire crackle in the fireplace. 
Gretchen: She’s fine you know. Probably just exhausted. 
Sebastian: Who are you-
Gretchen: No need to play dumb, I know you’re here for that girl in there.  She’s sleeping right now. I’m sure she’ll wake up soon.
Sebastian unconsciously lets the tension and anxiety drop from his shoulders and lets out a sigh.
Sebastian: *softly chuckles* Ah...you haven’t changed...still knowing things.
Gretchen: *shrugs* Not by much anyway. You haven’t changed either you know. Still so distant....I’m surprised really.
Sebastian: Something surprises you?
Gretchen: Of course. I maybe be able to see the future, but I don’t understand why things happen. I have a limitation too...So why are you here for her?
Sebastian: I don’t know either.
Gretchen: I assume she’s you care about her at least. You’ve made a friend; that’s good you know-
Sebastian: She’s my brother’s maid-
Gretchen: Oh? He’s still collecting strange things huh? That doesn’t explain why you’re here though.
Sometimes Sebastian hated how perceptive his childhood friend was but what could he expect from someone with a gift such as hers. He closes his eyes for a second, trying to search for answer. A logical one. One not only for Gretchen, but for himself too.
Sebastian: ...I said, I don’t know either...I really should stay away from her. For her benefit anyways.
Gretchen: *rolling her eyes* You’re not cursed anymore than I’m a witch.
Sebastian: ...I wonder...
Gretchen: Seb- Are you having those headaches again?
Sebastian’s eyes slowly drifted away from her onto the floor in front of him, then back up to her as he picks at an answer.
Sebastian: They stopped a year and a half ago.
Gretchen: ...You’re so meticulous with your words.

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
Sebastian arrives at a small house, a place he hasn’t been in many many years,  and quickly hops off his horse. He’s relieved to see the glow of candle light through the window (that means that someone still lives here), but remains on guard. Slowly he creeps up to the gate and crouches down, drawing his sword at the same time. Suddenly the door opens and Sebastian stands fully prepared to take on whoever or whatever comes out. To his relief, it’s only a familiar face.
Gretchen: You’re late, Sebastian.
Sebastian: *smirking* Gretchen, it’s nice to see you again too.

Hime's Medieval Adventures-Memories
After too many hours of something she was eager to forget, laying in the scattered hay in the barn, Hime felt tired.
Beside her is the only thing that could pull her out of such exhaustion. It was no louder than a kitten's meow but it was enough to make her heart squeeze. She felt tired but somehow incredibly happy.
Beside her was a small thing. A gift. The last gift given to her from the first man she ever loved. She named this gift Annora.

Hime's Medieval Adventures
Despite what he had said earlier, the anxious feeling that took root in Sebastian's stomach only grew. He eventually found himself racing through the woods on his horse in search of the girl he said he should stay away from. The woods, however, are vast so it would be foolish to wander around- it would also be a waste of time- for her in the dark. Instead, Sebastian decided to enlist the help of someone he knew knew these woods like the back of her hand.

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
In a small house far in the back of the woods, the emphatic young woman gifted with foresight, sits at the edge of the bed where she placed Hime after ensuring she’s not too badly hurt. She stares at her a bit too long, her head filled with feelings and memories that are not her own, but the sleeping young woman in front of her. She let’s out a tired sigh.
Gretchen: How pitiful you are too...No wonder you found each other.

Hime's Medieval Adventures-Memories
Hime climbed into bed hoping to sleep it off but after two hours she couldn't suppress her groans and whimpers anymore. Unsteady, she leaves her bedroom and stumbles to the barn. Just as she placed her hand on the door another round of pain ripples through her. She leaned against the barn and grasped at her stomach letting out a hiss. God, she wishes this would end soon.

Hime's Medieval Adventures
Back in the castle as the sun was going down, Chiaki felt anxious.
Chiaki: Hey Javi, have you seen Hime?
Javiera: Not since noon. She said she was going for a walk after she got done with her chores early.
Chiaki: It's getting late, I'm getting worried that Hime's not back yet.
Javiera: I'm sure she's fine. She's probably just enjoying some time to herself. I'd need a reprieve too after what happened at the king's party.
Chiaki: Yeah, but-
Javiera: Chi, you worry too much. She's probably on her way back now if she hasn't already gone up to the room. Now let's finish up our work so we can get a break too.
Outside the kitchen, on his way to the gardens, Sebastian overhears their conversation. At first, he thinks nothing of it. It's reasonable that Hime would want to put a distance between them after what happened. He would too...he did. That's why he'd been avoiding her- all off them. It was for her own benefit that she didn't get caught up in it. Heck, Sebastian didn't blame her if she ran away.
Sebastian shook it off and kept walking, trying to ignore the sinking feeling settling in the pit of his stomach.
...but...it was getting late...and Hime wasn't back yet...and there were bad things lurking in the brambles....

Hime's Medieval Adventures- Memories
Tucked away in her room, Hime slumps down to the floor at the edge of her bed. She's in pain. The worst she's ever felt in her life but she keeps quiet trying not to wake her siblings up. Her back, stomach, and hips hurt and she can barely breathe, still, she doesn't say a word.

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
Hime spent the entire day out in the brambles, partially to clear her head, though she’d be lying if she said it wasn’t also to avoid running into anymore prince-related trouble. As the sun was finally going down, she decided it was pass time to return to the castle. However, her plans were a bit dosed when a wild wolf that had been lurking in the bushes behind her, found the courage to attack. Hime immediately took off but it was fast, barely nipping at her heels. Still she managed to keep ahead of it, just before she found herself with no ground to her feet. She fell from the ledge and while it stopped the wolf’s pursuit, she hit her head on the fall down making her lose consciousness. 
Hime was lucky, though, because at the base of that ledge was someone would had been watching her since the moment she set foot in the brambles.

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
The next day after that cryptic conversation with Kieran, Hime yet again was free of work as Yuriko was still lessening her load in lieu of her departure coming up. Kieran had given no context to his sudden apology but instead completely shut down. He held Hime for a moment then left soon after. She can’t say she wasn’t troubled by it but it didn’t seem like something she could pry about. Besides she would be leaving soon so there was little reason to poke at feelings that he clearly meant to bury. 
To clear her head, Hime decided to take a short walk. She stumbled her way into the woods.

Hime's Medieval Adventures
A young woman awakens in a cold sweat plagued by visions of someone's future. A gift she had been bestrode at birth. One she wasn't particularly fond of. Though this one intrigued her. She hadn't seen her old friend in a while. How peculiar?
Gretchen: Ugh, Sebastian...they finally let you out huh?

Hime stood confused and slightly alarmed as it registered what Kieran had just said. Sebastian hurt her? Like his...mother? There was a strange feeling in her chest. One that was both curious and frightened. She wondered what exactly he meant by that but the darkened and pained look on Kieran's face prevented her from prying. Instead, she kept the questions to herself and clutched her chest.
In front of her, Kieran stayed quiet, gathering himself, biting something back as though he realized he said too much. When he finally did look up, he gave her a soft sympathetic stare before pulling her into a tight embrace.
Kieran: God, Hime, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Outside on the balcony, the air was much clearer and cooler than it was inside. It was approaching winter despite it still being this warm. Kieran took his time inhaling the crisp air not saying a single word as the wind grazed his cheeks. Hime stood and only watched him. She wasn't sure what he wanted her company for and therefore had nothing to say. After a few minutes, Kieran finally broke the silence.
Kieran: I should apologize to you, Hime.
Hime: *confused and cautious* What for Your Highness?
Kieran: My behavior at the party. I shouldn't have acted so... improperly. I lost my temper for a moment.
Hime: I'm sorry if I did anything to upset you-
Kieran: You- No, it was not you. I was not angry with you exactly. It was my fault for leaving you alone in the first place. I simply did not expect you to end up there...with him.
Hime: With?...Oh, Prince Sebastian.
Kieran: He always has a way of dragging people into danger so I don't blame you
Hime: Pardon me but I don't think I was in any danger-
Kieran: Hime, he was hurting you...just like he hurt my mother.
Hime: What?

Hime’s Medieval Adventures
On the same day. 
It marked Hime’s last week at the castle. Because it was known that she would be leaving soon, Yuriko began shifting most of the work back onto the other girls to prepare them for the adjustment. This left Hime with more spare time on her hands than she knew what to do with. She wandered around the castle trying to find something to do. Once again, Sebastian had locked himself in his room after the incident at The King’s birthday celebration. However, Hime decided to not try to pry herself into his room. She figured he’d come out on his own. She also figured it was best to separate herself from him. She would be leaving soon and she was terrible at goodbyes. But more importantly, they weren’t exactly friends. She was merely the maid, a temporary one at that. 
Captivated in all her thoughts, Hime hadn’t noticed Prince Kieran trailing behind her, calling her name until his hand was on her shoulder and pushing her against the wall. 
Kieran: Hime, have you not been listen?
Hime: Oh, no. My apologizes your highness. I wasn’t paying attention. 
Kieran: *pouty* I’ve been calling you for the pass two minutes. I almost thought you were ignoring me.
Hime: Ah. I assure you it was not on purpose. 
Kieran: *smiles and lets go of her* I knew you would never ignore me Hime. You’re too sweet. *takes a step back, a sweet smile still on his face* What are you up to anyway?
Hime: Nothing really. Yuriko has lightened my chores due to the fact that my time here is almost over.
Kieran: *looks sad for a second but quickly regains his posture* Ah...Good, then come with me. I need some fresh air.
