"Got it." Rene said.

"...thanks for the help." he then said further.

"We had NO idea what was wrong, and our instruments aren't tuned to pick up on ancient parasites and the like." he continued, before pausing.

"Hm." he then muttered.

"I think you mentioned Ashleigh as well? Maybe?" he asked. "I just know SHE'S under the weather as well." he said.

"Same treatment for her?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Precisely." Rowena answered.

"And I'm going to see if vincent can get me in contact with any of the publishers he knows to get SOMETHING out there, some sort of literature, about this damned thing." She added.

"since it seems it's not just a concern for the past."

"Hmmmm." Rene mumbled.

"If HE can't, talk to ME." he told her. "I've had a couple of works published in the past. I might be able to help with medical journals, specifically." he said further.

"But Vincent is a far more published author in generally being published. So he'll be a better first choice to go to." he reasoned.

"Regardless, Ashleigh should be tended to as well." he then said.

"And I'll keep you updated on Kelly." he added.

"For better or worse."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Duly noted. Thank you." Rowena said before sighing lightly.

"Anyway, I'm going to head home." She then said. "try and have that soak I was trying to have when Ash came and told me what was going on." She then gave rene a quick hug.

"thanks." She said simply.

Rene returned the hug, and nodded.

"Anytime." he told her.

Meanwhile, Vincent had just finished doing what Rowena had told him to. Which was to say, she told him to 'chill Ashleigh', which he had. He took her temperatures down to where she felt like she was going to die, and then very slowly brought her back up to where she was still feeling cold, but it was tolerable now.

"Sorry." he apologised.

"I was just doing what Rowena told me to do." he told her.

"Said that she was going to do the same for Kelly, so... I have no idea what's going on, I just hope I haven't done anything to make your situation worse."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I hate being cold." Ashleigh commented.

"I'm part reptile. Really not nice for me." she added after a moment or two.

"But thank you. Hopefully you get an answer as to why soon. Or I do." She added after a moment or two, thinking.

"Although while I'm cold now, I do feel more... alive? I guess?"

"I intend to ask Rowena when I get back home." Vincent said.

He then paused for a moment, nodding slowly.

"I'll let you know more info when I have more info." he told her.

"How are Ash and Lindsay doing?" he then asked.

"I didn't run into either when I came here."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"All right, as far as I'm aware." Ashleigh answered before sighing and just breathing a ball of fire toward the fireplace, causing the kindling in there to ignite.

"I admit, haven't seen either for a bit, but that's nothing unsual." She added.

"I've been stuck down here for the most part, after all."

"That's fair." Vincent responded.

"Call me if you start to feel worse, or better, or if there's any notable updates." he told her.

"Will do." she replied.

Vincent then backed away from her and disappeared in a small whirlwind, appearing in the den of his manor. He looked around, wondering if Rowena had come back yet. So he took out his phone and sent a text.

I'm back home. was all it read.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Good timing. Come climb into the tub with me. Let's actually do it this time. was the response that Vincent received. If he listened close, he could hear, barely, the jets running above him.

Rowena just finished stripping down after replying to the text, and climbed into the tub. When she felt the water was still a bit chilly, it was definitely easy enough for her to warm it up, considering the fact that she was a fire mage. All she could do, really, was hope that he'd join her for themoment though. She didn't know if he had anything else he was going to be doing.

And she was reasonably certain that he'd want answers.

She had been in the tub for only about 3 minutes, when Vincent returned and sighed quietly.

"Ahh, THIS is a welcome sight." he commented, before stepping up, stripping down, and climbing in once more.

"Right then." he said.

"I did what you said to do to Ashleigh." he told her.

"And it was NOT pleasant for her." he stressed.

"Now, may I ask WHY I did that to her?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"centibus parasitica ignis" was Rowena's response. Vincent just paused a moment, before thinking about it as he shifted and got comfy.

"I... that's something that I have not heard of for... countless generations." He commented.

"Why do you bring it up?" He then asked.

"Becuase that's what was killing Kelly, and most likely hit Ashleigh too." was Rowena's answer

"Good heavens." Vincent replied.

"No WONDER the treatment was what it was." he said.

"When there is no sustainable heat for them, they go dormant. When it gets cold far too quickly for them to adapt, they die." he recalled.

"...but I thought them extinct." he then said further.

"Where on EARTH did they come from?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"My best guess? Rock roots." Rowena answered.

"I know you use them regularly for your weaker plants, as does Anna." She continued."and I wouldn't be surprised if Ashleigh crashed near some or whatever."

"And.... they come from there, so that's the best guess I can literally come up with."

"...oh, dear." Vincent mumbled.

"Perhaps we should thank our lucky stars that neither you or Racquel have gotten them then, seeing as I use Rock Roots in... well, as you said, my more fragile flora." he commented, before pausing.

"...unless either of you HAVE, and have dealt with it without my knowing." he then said.

"HAVE you?" he asked.

"Or have the two of you been lucky thus far?"

...and I'll forgive thy

"Not recently, at least." Rowena commented.

"However, I DID early on. Didn't you ever wonder why I don't go out to your greehouse anymore?" She asked with a light laugh.

"It's because I managed to get years ago, and just... opted to not go outthere. Bit of a hazard for me, I realise. However, if you freeze the rock roots first, and every couple weeks ro a month, it won't be an issue at all."

Vincent just pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Ngh." he groaned lightly.

"Fair." he said.

"I'll get right on that." he told her. "...well, after the world's done turning to shit." he clarified.

He then sighed heavily, and laid his head back against the tub.

"So Kelly and Ashleigh have these parasites. Or had. Whatever." he said.

"...does anyone else we know have them?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Doubt it." Rowena answered

"The only other peopel who COULD, really are my boys." She added. "Alice and Vicki don't really have the heat to warrant it, and Vicki's got protections against it from the council. Also, Alice is rarely, if ever, home anymore."

"So I'm reasonably certain that anyone we know? Are safe."

Vincent shrugged.

"All right, fair enough." he said.

"But we should be on the lookout for anyone that looks like they're getting sick, and shouldn't be, just in case." he suggested.

"Keep an eye and ear open and such and blah blah blah." he went on.

"But as you said, it's highly doubtful anyone else has it."

"Precisely." Rowena agreed with a nod.

"For now, I think we can lightly relax." She added. "And hopefully ... just... stop the incoming panic attack that I KNOW I've been shoving aside as best I can for a bit."

She sank deeper into the water, letting to reach her chin.

"Just... this is a headache. To put it VERY lightly."
