[Whoever's watching the feed right now can probably tell that something's not quite right. Not only does Eley look blackened and sore as if he had been scorched somehow, but the tree behind him also looks as though it has met a similar fate, with shattered branches and charred bark.

And in his hands, he's holding some remnant of what might have been a scarf at one time, though right now it looks like nothing more than a rag.]

Why would anyone do this? How could they... enjoy such a thing?

[He sounds tired, disappointed, though that quickly turns to bitter anger.]

Edmundo the Blade has made an enemy of me. He has shown nothing but disrespect. I should not have let him get this far. If only I was not so complacent, so tied to the path of peace, this would not have happened. My tree...

[Yes, he's more concerned about the tree than he is about himself right now.]

If anyone knows a way to repair the damage, I would be grateful to you.

Mmm... then I am sorry for what you must have been through. As troublesome as humans are, I strive for peace. Nobody should have to suffer...

[It always saddened him to hear that it was so prevalent even in other worlds he never knew existed before. It was difficult enough - some would say impossible - to make progress in order to save Aether from its own suffering. Knowing there were so many other worlds who needed help was terrible.]

I have great respect for those who would seek to aid others however, especially my own kind.

[reviling]

What are you?

[Obviously it doesn't make any difference to him - he's already helping, the clinic drawing nearer. There are so many different kinds of people...different kinds of beings...in this place. Levi wants to be aware of as many of them as possible.]

[winds_voice]

...I am a Spirit. Though upon arriving here, it seems the Malnosso willed me to live in a human body. That is why I appear as I do.

[He hoped he wouldn't suddenly turn on him upon knowing that, but somehow he doesn't see why he would since they're drawing so close.]

[reviling]

I see.

[Levi has the urge to twist to see him again, but doesn't.]

More spirits, huh...suppose you can do that magic stuff, too?

[apparently the place he comes from seems especially devoid of spiritual power.]

[they arrive at the clinic, and he carries Eleytheria right into an examination room, settling him down carefully.]

[winds_voice]

I do have the ability to manipulate wind, yes... While I do not usually know it as magic, it is the name that humans give to our powers.

[It was always interesting to Eley how clear a divide there was between those who knew of magic and those who did not. To some people here it was natural, to others it was unheard of, even in dreams.

Soon they reach their destination though, and as much as he appreciated Levi's help, he was rather glad to be still again and safe...]

I will be all right now... thank you again. Perhaps I will return the favour one day.

[reviling]

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

[it never hurts to have someone who owes you a favor, after all. Levi doesn't ask for the cloak back. If this place is as generous as people say, another one will likely turn up. And if not, he can always get it back later.]

Be careful.
