Within the dark, empty cottage, clicking noises could be heard. Soft, faint, but there, if anyone dared to hang around and listen for more than a moment....

Ai yawned, looking out the window. She didn't really look like her normal happy vibrant always cheerful self... she'd been worried this whole week. Ether had taken ill, and none of the healers knew what to do. Ai had spent all week either outside, trying to forget everything, inside, working on paperwork (she hated the damn stuff), or by the bedside, watching as her spirit's face became paler and paler. She was worried, although she wasn't about to admit it. She really wanted to....... she didn't know, but life like this was becoming a strain on her. It showed in her face.

"Agggaaaain?" The voice, hidden among the clicking and shimmering streaks of light which made up this enormous room, sounded annoyed, and exasperated. "Of course." This voice was brisk, stern, and sounded like a mother talking to a child. There was an outburst of sadistic giggles from a corner, and then a muffled yelp. "Let her go dear." There was a thump, then the sound of cursing. "Fine," Two boot hears clicked against the cold stone floor. "I'll do it." "Lovely. Tell her.... tonight. Yes, tonight.... let it begin."

Sasha seemed to wander in, although really she'd only come because she'd wanted to get away from Neomir. Who had been a total annoyance lately. And saying that was an understatement. Upon seeing Ai, she decided to inform her, "You look terible." Which was unnecessary, but the truth.

Ai turned sharply, them smiled wearily when she saw it was Sash. "I guess I do." She placed a hand over her mouth, and yawned. "I'm sorry, it's just that Eth is sick, and well...." She sighed, and bit her lip, before a shadow of her normal smile crossed her face. "I'm okay! Just a little tir-" She yawned again.

"Have you gotten any sleep lately?" asked Sasha, before attacking the other part of what Ai said. "I didn't even know that SPirits coudl /get/ sick...."

"Neither did I, but he's still asleep." She shook her head, half to clear it, and half to say that no, she hadn't gotten sleep. "I'm fine, I've gone without sleep before. All the other seem to busy too, so...."

"Yeah. Az has a new boyfriend. So they're terribly busy...." Sasha smiled to herself, having been able to taunt Azriah about Zeromus. "Well, it's odd. Hopefully it's only some Spirit version of the flu and will pass over soon...."

"Hopefully the healers will be able to find a cure." Ai sat down on the bed, "So that no other spirit'll get it." She lay down, her arms spread out on either side of her. "And since they all bonded, I've had nothing but trouble."

"Hopefully...although I wouldn't mind if Neomir caught it...." Taking a seat in a chair that she turned first to face Ai, she answered, "Well, they're excited. Or idiots. And possibly both."

"Oh? Has little Neomir been a bother lately? Maybe we can persuade Desh to..." Her face broke into a real grin of evil delight that had been on her face for a while. "Naw, even for Neo..." What she'd been about to suggest was to evil.

"And extreme bother. I've kept him from pouring more dyes into shampoos -you'd think he'd already learned a lesson-, ruining books in the library, terrorizing new Candidates, and plottign to kill Namara. If he isn't the worst behaved Spirit in the Guild, I've yet to know of it..." Sasha looked at her suspiciously. "What is it?"

"I was going to say we could dress him up again, and then tie him to a tree, and let the entire guild file by for a price and laugh at him." She started to giggled again. "Why's he so bad lately?"

Sasha grinned. "Sounds fun." "I have no clue. My only guess would be that he's upset over Telly's death, because he was cheated of his chance to continually mock her of green hair. But it's NEOMIR. Really, I don't want to know what's going around in his head...."
