N:   "We will do all that we can," Johann spoke, "from a parent like Father, to non-parents like myself, to parents-to-be like Erna," which earned him a jab in the arm by the said Saxon, so he turned to her, "listen, Ernie, I am saying that because I already know that you will be a great mother."

"Ja, of course," she rolled her eyes and smiled, "because I had to take care of the likes of Heinrich and Wolfgang, and now you."

"Well then, I'll make sure that to ask Prometheus to make you a wedding dress just before he leaves," Johann replied with a smirk.

"I beg you, Jo," spoke a voice from the bed, to which the pair turned to see Heinrich with one eye open, "kannst du bitte still sein? (Can you please shut up?)," but instead of the Mandorian honoring his request, he was tackled into a hug by him.

"Thank Gott you're awake," Johann softly smiled, "don't scare me like that ok?"

"You're crushing my lungs," the Saxon wheezed so the other eventually got off him, "and I'm sorry if I scared you, but bitte, you don't need to tell everyone in the room about Erna's wedding plans," which got a chuckle from Johann while Erna crossed her arms in indignation.


M:   The others chuckled at Erna's frustration, then Asked slithered over and pat Heinrich's shoulder, "It's good to see you awake, my boy, you gave us all a good scare but you should make a full recovery."

"You have Ora to thank," Neflen commented from next to Esha, "she saved you and Odrus from anything life-threatening."

"What," Mandoria said in shock, looking over to the wolf in the corner of the room, "how, how does someone capture a guardian spirit of the afterlife?!"


N:   "Beats me," Johann shrugged, "wait, what if he also caught Lord Empyr, actually, that would be pretty hard since he is a literal dragon."

"And Empyr is?" Erna questioned.

"Another guardian of the afterlife. Looks like Edel," he quickly summarised before turning to Mandoria, "what will happen if Lady Ora stays in the living world for too long?"


M:   "Don't know, but it can't be anything good," Mandoria shrugged, "for a deity to remain in a mortal form must be straining, hopefully, she returns to the great beyond before it's too late."

"Speaking of that though, there are too many people in here," Neflen said, "everyone finish up what they're here to do and go, I won't be responsible when someone freaks out the animals and gets bit by a cobra."

"Bossy much," Odrus grumbled, "relax Neflen, the animals couldn't bite anyone if they wanted to."

"Though I would love to see Saxon come in here with the world's largest venomous snake," Mandoria joked, elbowing Celtica gently.


N:   "And that, my friend, will not help Saxon with his fear of snakes," Celtica shook her head but chuckled, "especially one that could harm him."

After that, following Neflen's orders, they slowly poured out, although it took Johann some convincing from Heinrich to tell him that he will be fine. Once he left, he went to search for Rowen since Erna went with Wolfgang, leaving him by himself with nothing to do.


M:   Mandoria caught up with Johann and led him to the horse pasture where Rowen was, Uskaine tagged along too because why not.

Rowen was teaching some of the British cadets how to handle their horses when they reached the part of their training when they get to choose their partners.
