[ When Mikado finally comes to, he realizes that he's no longer in that uncomfortable Malnosso cell, but rather sprawled out even more uncomfortably in the snow. It takes a few moments for it to register that he's finally out and in the familiar scenery of the town square.

Well, he's not sure how long he's been in the snow; his pajamas are soaked and he is freezing. He would have just shot up and quickly made his way home as fast as he could (oh god, how much have Masaomi and Frey and Celty worried?!), taken a warm bath then wrapped himself in blankets and gotten a proper sleep. Would have is the key word here.

He manages to get his upper body out of the snow but for some reason, his legs won't move. Oh no, was he out so long that he got frostbite?! What would happen if they had to amputate his legs? Would he be able to get prosthetic ones?! Did Luceti even have that technology? He tries to pull up his pant legs to see the extent of the damage, but his fingers are so numb he just fumbles.

Thank god there's a conveniently placed journal nearby, right? ]

[ voice ]
M...

M-Masa...omi? Are you there? ...Frey-s-san, and Celt-t-ty-san, anyone?

...

I'm, I'm by the f-fountain. I... can't move.

It would be no imposition, Mikado. But it would be my pleasure to help out.

Really? Thank you so much, I really appreciate it...

I'll only have to make it -- it shouldn't take long. I'll see you later today?

Yes! Thank you, Anne.

[ He'll be chillin' in bed if you need him. He's not going very far. :|a ]

[ later and presuming that someone lets anne into the house, there is a knock on mikado's bedroom door. ]

[ No doubt, that's probably Anne.

Mikado's sitting up in his bed flipping lazily through the journal on his lap. ]

Come in!

[ she bustles inside, garbed heavily. layers of dress and jacket and cloak looking rather toasty. in her gloved hands she carries a little thermos flask -- something she asked around at the store about and was delighted to find existed. oh, modern science! keeping things like tea and soup warm even over a journey. the girl was suitably impressed.

she also has a little basket on her arm -- no doubt with a bit of bread and a bowl and a spoon tucked away. ]

Good afternoon. I would've been here sooner, only it took some time to figure out how these strange stoves worked. Impressive little things!

[ Ah, that's right. They didn't have that kind of technology back then, did they? He smiles at her. ]

O-Oh, don't worry about it! I'm glad you could make it!

[ He motions to the small table and chair at the foot of his bed, so that maybe if she's planning to stay a while then she can make herself comfortable. ]

[ seeing his motion, she sets the thermos and basket down before dragging the chair higher up -- nearer to the head of the bed. this done, she claps her hands together with a certain kind of finality. ]

Tell me, Mikado -- you haven't caught cold or anything, have you? Because a cold can be a very vicious thing indeed to be rid of.

Oh, no. Luckily Masaomi and Frey-san came before I was out too long in the cold. It's... just my legs, I think.

[ a blink. Come to think of it, he hasn't seen her in a while. This is him gathering up the courage to ask a simple question gasp ] A-And you? It's been pretty cold lately, so...

Oh, no. I've been quite well. I have started taking classes at the local school.

Eh, really? Whose classes are you in? We might have some together.

I'm in group one -- with Miss Sage. And the upper levels for the subjects.

[ she smiles. ]

Oh! I'm in group two, but I'm also in the upper level classes!

[ Grin~ He has another friend classmate! Yay! ]

Then I do look forward to seeing there, once you're feeling better. [ ... ] I can pour some soup for you now, if you're hungry?
