They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Nate smiled at her when she said that.

"I'm glad you have faith in us." he told her.

"For now, we'll try to make you as comfortable as we can, before Azazel and Ilias return with what will hopefully help." he said.

"And you're sure it's not getting worse now?" he asked.

"You're not feeling it creeping up any longer or anything?"

Arryn took a few seconds to concentrate and make sure she was giving the right answer.

"Yeah. I'm sure. If it IS moving still, it's extremely slow." She told him honestly.

"Which is lovely. I'd rather not be a legit statue." She added with a chuckle, before it ended in a sigh.

"However, I do realise that it's not a guarantee that this can be reversed. I am hopeful, though."

"We work miracles here." Nate said.

"You'll be rid of this, I promise." he told her.

About 2 days later, Azazel entered the medical wing, and, after a brief talk with Angela and Nate, made his way to where Arryn was, with the two medical professionals following... mostly because they wanted to see this.

They entered the room the high elf was in, Azazel first, and he smiled when he saw her.

"And your salvation is at hand." he announced, showing her a vial of bright green liquid.

"Ilias has gone home to sleep, as we've both been working non-stop since we got that blood sample, but I do not need sleep, so I am here to oversee the administration of said antidote."

Arryn was silent for a moment.

"Well then, let's get this show on the road." She said with a smile.

"How is it intended to be administered?" Angela then asked.

"And are yoi doing it, or is Nate?"

"Nate will." Azazel responded.

"Inject all of it wherever you can find a vein." he told Nate, handing the vial to him.

"Right." Nate responded.

"Arryn, try not to shift or anything while the serum does its work." Azazel then said to the high elf. "And try and remain as still as possible. At least for the first few minutes." he added.

"If all goes well, the process should start to reverse within a minute of the antidote being administered." he then finished.

"Of course." Arryn said, agreeing to do all she was told to.

Sure enough after all was said and done, they could literally see the reversal happening. It wasn't extremely fast, but it was quick enough.

"At this rate, probably going to be clear of it within an hour or two." Angela commented.

"However, I'm keeping you here overnight just to ensure there are no complications." She added after a moment or two. Arryn just nodded.

"Yeah... yeah of course." The elf responded.

"Good." Azazel replied.

"And with that, I'm off." he said, before waving to them all, and heading out of the room.

"As I said, miracles." Nate said to Arryn with a chuckle.

"...demonic in nature, but still. Miracles." he then added with a small shake of the head.

"Looks like you'll be back to your old self in no time."

"Thank you... so so much." Arryn said with a sigh of relief.

"You have absolutely no idea how much I appreciate this." She added before pausing, seeming to realise something.

"... wonder if my old apartment is available... Is there any chance someone grabbed my phone when I was brought?"

"Ah, it should be here." Nate replied.

"I think Zeke went back and inspected your room, bringing us anything that looked like personal belongings." he told her.

"However, if you need a place to stay, we offer places here." he then said.

"Dorms and such." he specified.

"If you want, I can check with Zeke to see if your phone is here." he then offered.

"My phone would be fantastic." Arryn said honestly.

"That way I can check in on if I do have anywhere to go." She added with a light laugh.

"And make sure no one is freaking out over me suddenly disappearing or something."

Nate nodded in response.

"Of course." he replied.

The next day, after she'd gotten her belongings, and had been cleared for discharging, she was making her way to Hal's office, by way of the interactive map that had been installed.

As she walked, she overheard a few people talking as they went by.

"...has Agent Sharp been a little more... short... with you as well?" one asked.

"He's just stressed." the other responded. "Remember, his receptionist is moving, so she's pulling half-days. He has to keep up the slack, and finding those qualified for places like THIS is rare." they added.

Arryn didn't say anything as she made her way past them, before chuckling. This was something that she knew she could probably help with. Or at least she thought she could as one of the many post secondary courses and degress she'd taken over the years she'd been alive was for administration.

As she reached the office, she found the door was open and she stepped up to it, seeing a particularly dark skinned bald man sitting at the desk.

"Hey." She said with a wave. "May I?"

The man looked at her, before nodding.

"Be my guest." he said, gesturing for her to sit down.

"Nice to finally meet you." he told her.

"Agent Hal Sharp, coordinator and overall overseer of The Unit, San Diego branch." he introduced himself.

"You're looking quite well." he then commented, seeing she had been rid of the petrification.

"I am most certainly faring far better than when I first arrived." Arryn commented with a light chuckle.

"What do I owe you for that?" She then asked, her voice curious.

"I would prefer to pay my dues now."

"Eh?" Hal muttered, looking at her.

"We're subsidised and funded by the government... albeit secretly... so there's no 'dues' to pay." he told her.

"Unless you actually wish to rent a dorm here or something." he then said.

"We offer emergency housing for free for those who need it, but if you are willingly going to choose to stay here, despite having somewhere else to stay, then we'll talk." he continued.

"Granted, we're not strictly non-profit, we're paid to keep the world safe from the boogeyman, but what we're doing for you IS part of our non-profit."

Arryn was silent for a moment.

"well, you gave me my life back. Give me an email to send some money to. Even if I don't need to, I refuse to not repay you in one way or another." She told him honestly. She wanted to bring up about what she'd hear don the way up, but didn't want that to influence anything here, so she was going to wait until after this was tended to. Maybe she'd be able to do some good, no way for her to know.

Hal was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"I can tell you're determined." he said, before going to a filing cabinet and finding a few sheets of paper stapled together. He brought them over towards her and handed them over.

"You can donate to this charity we're a part of." he told her.

"It offers services for those that need it, and are a part of the mana world." he said. "Like an emergency reserve fund, as well as funding shelters and such for those like us." he added.

"That's how best to 'repay' us for this." he added with a smile.

"There's even information about how to file it for your tax return so those that don't know about those like us won't find out." he finished.

Arryn was silent before sighing heavily.

"Ok. I can take a hint. Don't offer direct help." She said as she accepted the pages.

"That, however, really doesn't do anything for HERE, though." She added before looking to the pages, checking which charity it was.

"...... Huh." She muttered. "Can't say I'm surprised it's here. I already donate there monthly." She toild him with a chuckle.

"I'll do another in your name then." She added.

"I won't try and stop you from doing so." Hal responded.

"And you already donate there monthly? You're a kind soul." he told her with a small smile.

"Regardless, good to see you've fully recovered." he then said.

"I'm sure you've been already told about how we found you and such." he added, knowing she'd already been there for a few days, but he hadn't had the time to go and see her.

"My daughter is amazing with tech, and she seemed to have the insight to see you needed help." he continued.

"And my apologies for not coming to see you earlier." he then went on. "Been swamped with worth recently." he explained with a small laugh, followed by a smaller sigh.

"So I've heard." Arryn commented. "About being swamped. I can help if you'd like." she added a few seconds later, not entirely sure if he'd be game or not.

"I've been to school for business and administration, I'm a skilled receptionist and my typing speed hovers about 110"
