Memories of what Once was ((Twisted wonderland))

Guard

The next day I woke up exhausted. Dr. Shroud came in with his Tablet and I had to sit at the foot of my bed as he did his exams. Nothing really changed. I was thankful for that. He told me to try to have a stress free day and after my Guests left He would be back to check again. I told him I would try. He wanted to see if Seeing my friends would be to much. After all S.T.Y.X. was about preventing OverBlots. They couldn't just hand me an Overblot every time I needed my Fix to lower my Levels. That wasn't what they were about. 

If this was a flop I had Agreed to only doing Video chats until my Levels were below 20. Like they were right now. This morning my Level was 19. If it went up it wouldn't cause me to Overblot... atleast I hope it didn't. The Goal was to figure out how to Lower the Level and what Made the level grow. Using magic was one of the ways it did. I was not allowed to Actively use Magic. Penelope caught me doing it by accident twice now and advised me against it again. 

I walked into the Kitchen and Helped Penelope make Breakfast. Idia and Dr. Shroud grabbed there food leaving quickly. Idia however told me that they would be using Mirror Travel and would drop Malleus and Lilia off once they arrived. Idia apparently wanted to get his Rounds done before they got here. They never actually said when they would come but I was used to that. They simply gave a Date and said it would be before sundown. 

I helped pick up a little and Set out some of the Snacks we had made last night. Penelope stated if I felt upset to let her know. I didn't think I would feel upset. Honestly right now I was more Nervous. I loved seeing Both of them but what if they didn't want to be around me cause of my Illness? 

After cleaning and Eating Breakfast. I got dressed and helped Penelope with her Paperwork. I had started doing this with her on days I was bored or Nervous. I would get to hear the best stories of Idia and Ortho when they were growing up. It was the stories about Ortho that made me realize Penelope was delusional that Ortho was still alive. However I was not about to Burst her Bubble. It was hard to lose a child. It caused your heart to ache for a long long time before it could even begin to start to heal. 

Around noon was when Malleus and Lilia came. We all had Lunch and Idia came soon after to Play Lilia. After about a half hour of Malleus and I watching I decided it would be best to leave before Malleus accidentally shocked Idia's systems. I would never hear the end of it if he did. Instead I walked with Malleus around the Suite. I showed him what I had been doing as of late and that I was ok. 

I showed him Penelope's Garden which he seemed to enjoy. However the Shroud family home was quite Technological. I could see it made Malleus feel out of place. Even when he seemed interested in what things did he would often Hesitate to touch them once he learned they were Electric.

After a while we simply Sat in Penelope's Garden and had tea. The garden was one of my Favorite places to go. It was calm here and Perfect for Tea time. After all it was 3pm. Penelope didn't understand why I had tea every day at that time but It was fine. It was a little joke between me and the Heartslabyul boys anyway. 

"How are you Fairing here Child of man?" I looked at Malleus who gave me a small smile.

"Honestly? I'm doing ok. It's alot to get used to" I said. I couldn't like to Malleus. He would see right through me anyway. He nodded and crossed his arms.

"Yes, I remember when we came here last. They are treating you better then they did the others?" I nodded.

"Much, I still have to do my Tests and Scans but it is Bearable the rest of the time" He tilted his head.

'Has any Progress been made?" I shrugged.

"Yes and no... We found a way to keep the Blot down but... We are looking for a better way. Idia and I are working on a way to help eachother out in a way" Malleus nodded.
