"...." again, Julien was silent for a moment.

"She... brought me...?" he started to ask, before it dawned on him.

"Oh, Demitra?" he asked.

"She would have been the one to. She was the only one that really would have known where I was." he commented. "...well, other than Miss Racquel, but I don't think she would have known that specifically." he then admitted.

"But... Vitra?" he went on, thinking about it.

"Anyway, it is very nice to meet you as well, Miss Emma." he then told her.

"Oh... Oh, I see." Julien replied.

"Sorry." he apologised.

"Wait... wait, Candentus Lux?" he asked.

"I didn't know Dem-.... I didn't know Vitra worked HERE." he commented, catching himself on the name.

"My goodness, I am... on some hallowed ground here." he then said.

"This guild stands above all others." he went on.

"It's truly an honour to BE here."

Julien just smiled.

"Thank you." he said.

"My wounds were too numerous for me to properly stop my own bleeding." he commented.

"Surely I would have died back there without swift and proper help." he told her.

"So thank you for saving my life."

He had a lot of questions now.

How did she know a patient was coming? How did she know their leg would be missing? How could she reattach it?

But he knew that time would be of the essence, so he held his tongue.

"Okay." he said.

"Thank you again." he told her, before laying back down and staring at the ceiling.

He nodded.

"Yes." he replied.

"Almost like nothing had happened." he told her. "Emma is truly a wonder." he continued.

"And thank you." he then said.

"For bringing me here. I surely would have died otherwise."

He just smiled.

"No." he replied. "You're not." he said.

"She DOES want me here for a couple more hours." he confirmed.

"...dare I ask what happened to them?" he asked, referring to his attackers.

"I recall there being... a lot of screaming." he said.

"But my hearing was rather fuzzy due to... the circumstances."

"Er... right." Julien replied.

"Well, thank you, D-...Vitra." he said, catching himself.

"Emma told me about the rules here." he went on.

"Nice place to work for." he continued.

"And Emma seems so sweet and nice." he said further.

"The sort of person one would want to injure themselves, just to see her, but would feel guilty for having her seem them hurt." he told her.

"...if that makes sense."

"....hm." he mumbled.

"I can see that." he said.

"She can do things I've never seen or heard of before." he went on.

"She's a better healer than any I've seen, and her ability to sense the future is far better than any seer." he continued.

"It's uncanny." he said further.

"But she seems so sweet and nice." he commented, before shaking his head.

"Anyway, how are YOU doing?" he asked.

He raised an eyebrow.

"I'll take your word for it." he told her.

He then paused, and thought for a moment.

"...hey." he said.

"Will you help me?" he asked.

"It's clear that I was outmatched, but I stood no chance. I've been relying on my mana to defend myself all these years, and my fighting is little more than scrapping and brawling." he told her.

"Can... you help me get better at combat?" he asked her.

He nodded in response.

"I'll ask her." he said.

"Thank you." he told her.

"......." he then paused for a moment, silent, before looking away and sighing.

"I... I'm glad you're okay." he said.

"I was... worried that something may have happened to you." he admitted.

"Guess it was foolish of me to have been worried, as you're clearly MORE than capable of handling a small armed mob." he reasoned with a small chuckle... and a slight blush on his face.
