Ferris was about to say something, but Aeorlas beat him to it. "Please lie down on the bed, Miss Bell. I need to make an examination," he said in a rather cold voice, but there was still that somewhat sinister grin on his face. Ferris shot him a sideways glare. He never really liked Aeorlas to begin with, but even now, he seemed creepier than usual. He frowned. "What sort of examination?" he asked, each word rather curt. "The Headmaster wants to know if any sort of magic invaded her systems. We don't know if there was something put over her." He had stopped smiling soon as Ferris chimed in. It seemed the dislike was a mutual thing.

"... Uhhhhhhh ok." She felt rather awkward as she plopped down on the bed. The only magic she remembered using was her own, then again Bax hugged her to calm her down from he sobfest when the truth was revealed to her about her people. She looked up at the celing, feeling very uncomfortable because of that creepy grin... and of course Ferris's concern.

Aeorlas kneeled by the bed and held his hands over Celine. There was a strange sensation that formed from her navel and slowly spread out through her body. It was cold but hot at the same time, a feeling of distortion, a feeling that something was very wrong. Aeorlas moved his hands up her body, and the feeling spread upwards with his movements, flowing up into her chest, spreading out with the veins of her lungs, swirling into the chambers of her heart. The sensation crawled down her arms and coagulated in her fingertips. Then in a rush, it spread back down to her bellybutton as he moved his hands back to the beginning spot. He frowned. Behind him, Ferris was peeking over the bed, his face coming into Celine's vision. He looked rather concerned too. Even though Aeorlas did not have her remove her clothes or anything, he could still see black, vein-like darkness writhing. He knew it probably looked much like what Aeorlas did to Kain that morning. Aeorlas moved his hands back up her body, dropping the left hand. The sensation crawled up her body, then into her throat, mouth, lingered on her tongue, and then crawled out her mouth and into the elf boy's hand. He clenched his fist around it, as if catching a moth. His eyes glowed bright, and he shut them tight. For a few minutes there was nothing save his heavy breathing. Then he opened his eyes again, looking very tired and grim. The door opened, and Redfox came in carrying a tray. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked. Aeorlas looked over his shoulder at the door, nearly bumping his head into Ferris, he was hovering so close. "You can come in. Miss Bell needs to eat more." Redfox brought the tray by the bed. It was piled high with covered dishes, and there was a teapot where the scents of Moonflower tea steamed on out.

Celine sat up abruptly afterwards, feeling a little bit awkward feeling something emerge from her body. It made her shiver a lot, but it must have been what happened earlier with Kain after she healed him. She shook a little bit before she seemed to forget about everything that conspired as food and tea appeared. She grinned and nodded to Redfox. "Thank you." She said after a moment, taking the tea rather quickly and nearly chugging it down. But she kept as prim and proper as ever.

Redfox started to uncover the dishes. "You've probably not eaten since... uh... did you even have breakfast? Either way, you're probably starved. So I didn't know what you like, but I brought some roasted rabbit, and a bit of oxtail in wine sauce, and here's some snails, and salad... and we have roasted potatoes... and here's pumpkin soup! I didn't know we were having pumpkin soup. I don't like it, but maybe you will. I just brought something of everything. Oh, and this dish is cranberry sauce..." He was rambling a bit. Ferris stifled chuckles. Aeorlas was staring at the floor, his bangs falling into his face. "Miss Bell?" he said slowly, "what happened to you in Bax's camp?" he asked lowly.

Celine nodded at Redfox, smiling slightly as she ate her food. She hadn't eaten all day. She stared at Aeorlas, caught off guard by his question. "Eh? Well nothing really. Why do you ask?" She hoped that tea she had wasn't spiked... "I ran in there on accident, escorted to Bax who told me about this whole mishmash of prophecy again... this time with not much of a ego as this morning, and that I discovered that some of the people in my village were actually insane. That was about it." Soon the moment she mentioned the people in her village, a face that said: 'OOPS' spread across her. "Well they offered me some tea, and I hoped they didn't spike it..."

Aeorlas was very quiet. Unusually so. "Hmm..." he said. "If that's all..." He stood up and left the room. Ferris and Redfox both looked confused, but then Ferris just looked worried. "He's not saying anything. Why is that?" "Yah, he usually will tell you if magic was used on you or not," Redfox added with a nod. Ferris bit his lip, then looked back at Celine. "It's uh... it's probably nothing..." But he did not sound so sure.

Celine blinked, rather confused. "Well I mean... If it's nothing then its nothing." She said with a nod. "... Then again. He didn't act that way with Kain. He seemed fine afterwards." Maybe some strong magic from that aura Bax let off got into her to calm her down from sobbing even more. That truth was pretty hard to swallow, but then again she didn't want to say much about the insane people in the village.

Redfox pushed a plate across the tray so it was in front of her. "Eat up," he said, smiling. He was trying to dispel the tension that was coming off Ferris. But even so, the door opened, and in walked Aeorlas again, this time with a strange, dark pink bottle in his hand. "Wait... drink this first," he said to Celine, holding the bottle out to her.

"Eh?" A strange, nervous smile was plastered on her face, but she took it and studied the substance before drinking what was given to her. She flinched at the taste and looked to Aeorlas, clearly worried. "Is there something wrong?" She asked in a worried tone. Not another problem again... But she prayed it was nothing to severe.

Aeorlas was still looking grim, all traces of that smirk of earlier gone. His handsome face seemed somehow older. "I just need to test some things. I need to confirm them... and this is a surer way." He held out the potion more earnestly to her.

"Um... ok." She drank the rest of it, not enjoying the taste one bit. Eventually she finished it and gave Aeorlas a very concerned look. "Is something wrong?" Did she hurt him perhaps? She prayed not. If so, she, Redfox and Ferris would have to find a healer quickly.

There was a very intense feeling of that hot and cold at the same time. Then there was a flash of light that came from her. Aeorlas was murmuring strange words, his eyes glowing red. Then everything faded. Aeorlas nodded. "Mmm..." He took the now empty bottle back. "My first findings were correct: your perceptions have been tampered with. Whatever happened in Bax's Camp... it was all an illusion. You've been unconscious of your true surroundings the whole time."

"WHAT?!" Her eyes widened in panic. She felt embarrassed, many people probably thought she was crazy now. And her mind was filled with so many questions. How did this happen? And what really did happen to her? She grabbed her head in confusion and facetabled, feeling ungodly stupid. "Oh no..." she whined. "How could have this happened?! I've turned completely insane now!"

Ferris flinched. "So... memory tampering? Is that really something that can be done to someone like her?" he asked, looking between Celine to Aeorlas. "I mean... she IS the Lady of the Moon and all." Aeorlas shook his head, looking slightly amused. "No, not impossible," he said. "And it's not that you are crazy or anything," he said. "You were merely put under a very intense set of illusion spells. I would almost say that... well, I won't go into the theorum of illusion spells." He gave her a firm nod though. "But don't worry, Miss Bell. There won't be any side effects or anything of that sort."
