6 - [Action]

[So with all the cold and snow that's been blowing around Luceti lately, Eley's finding that his human body isn't quite as strong as he thought it would be. Living a nomadic existence, he's been wandering the forest and the village, staying out in the cold for days (and nights) at a time, but now it seems to be taking its toll...

Anyone passing by the outskirts of the village might find the Spirit just sitting in the snow, all bundled up in all the winter clothes he'd been given for Christmas, shivering and sneezing and looking rather sorry for himself. Anyone with the power to will sense that he's pretty sick. He seems to have no energy to move and is trying to conserve it by staying in one place.

If he doesn't want the sickness to get worse though, he'd better muster up the energy to go and find some shelter somewhere!]

Sullen? [That does catch his attention.] Why? Has something happened?

[He's not sure if seeing him sick would really lift her spirits, but he hoped it might bring her some light all the same. As for Helios' question, he has to pause to consider it.]

I suppose you are right. If that were not the case then I likely would never have caught this... cold in the first place. Still if I can manipulate the wind in this body... perhaps that is not all I can do. I am hoping that I am not so human that I have to endure such things for the same span of time. There is still some Spirit in me... I am sure of it.

[Excuse him while he sneezes.]

[ Helios shrugs and shakes his head. ] I-I think it's just the weather, really. Saori has mentioned more then a few times that she ever so despises the cold. I-I'm sure it's nothing more then that.

[ Helios blinks and looks a bit embarrassed. ] Oh, um, of course. I-I never suggested that you weren't. It's just that...humans are a bit more susceptible towards things like colds and such. I-I guess that your body is mimicking similar problems that we normally have for this time of year.

[winds_voice]

Ah yes... I can understand that. I am not used to the snow myself. I visit snowy regions yes, but I do not dwell in them.

[His explanation seemed to make sense. He wasn't certain to what extent his spiritual make-up was still apparent in Luceti, but he knew he couldn't make this human body fade away as he could back home. He wasn't even sure if he could change it yet... Perhaps he was more human in this world and so his body was reacting in the same way.]

I still have much to learn about humans... about their bodies too, it seems.

[folklorist]

It can get a bit cold, especially here. Layers. Lots and lots of layers is what I recommend! It'll help insulate you more so you can retain more heat. [ Or you can whip up a fire spell. Either or works. ]

I...could get you a book on it, if you'd like? There's several science books in the library that we use for school. I'm sure you could learn a thing or two from those!

[winds_voice]

Layers? All right... I will take that into account.

[And probably end up looking like a walking marshmallow next time it's freezing cold outside. The mention of a book definitely catches his interest.]

Those books may help me, yes... If it is not too much trouble I would like to take a look at them.

[Anything to help him gain a better understanding of how humans work!]

[folklorist]

You'll see that it makes quite the difference! I think investing in come down coats and-and fleece will help too. Those are very insulated for the deeper cold.

[ Helios will promise not to laugh because he's the one who gave Eley the idea. ] Oh it's no trouble at all! I can get them for you right away. There's a whole bunch of them in the library. Lots of copies and all that, so you can take it out for as long as you need.
