[There's the sound of someone gasping. Her voice is shaky, she's out of breath, and she is audibly distraught.]

 

 HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!

Please, please you've got to- someone-

They've taken him- we couldn't stop them, I don't-

Help! Help me please!

 

Please help, I'm begging you, anyone, help!

 

[She's quiet for a moment, still fighting for her breath. When she speaks again, her voice is tiny and shaky.]

I just got him back...

[Action]

[Anyone around the edge of the village near the forest might see a tall, dishevelled looking woman in a sundress smeared with mud and grass stains and with a small amount of blood caked in her hair frantically trying to make her way back to her apartment building or trying to get people to come and help her.

She was out for lunch with Wolfwood when they were ambushed by Malnosso droids. She was knocked out and the robots made off with her sweetheart in the meantime.

Milly is a woman on the edge and not even pudding will stop her.]

[Not much of what she said makes concrete sense to Mia right now. In her mind that's not what is most important here anyway. She reaches for Milly's arm gently, hoping to guide her into sitting down, at least]

[Lets herself be led away and sat down. Wow, mild concussion can really take it out of a girl.]

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[Oh, she won't be led very far away. Just to the closest thing she can comfortably sit on. ...You're very tall, do you know that?]

Take your time and tell it slowly. What happened to you?

[meanwhile she will be making sure you didn't crack your skull on whatever you hit.]

[Sits down and blinks, looking off into the distance at nothing.]

The Malnosso came out of the forest and took Mr. Priest, and when I tried to stop them I bumped my head. When I woke up they were all gone.

[halfway to casting, Mia's hand stops in midair and she leans around to look at Milly's face a little]

What...what do you mean, 'took' him?

[action]

[stungunning]

They took Mr. Priest, they came out of nowhere and they took him away. He told me to go but I couldn't just let them take him-

I have to get him back!

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[Poor Milly. Mia keeps one hand on her shoulder, in case she starts thinking about jumping up and running off. The other hand lightly pats her back]

First you have to be able to find him, and you're in no state to do that now. Will you allow me to heal you?

[action]

[stungunning]

[The comforting gesture takes the fight right out of her and she slumps, nodding weakly.]

I don't understand why this happened...

[action]

[frost_jewel]

I believe that. I don't understand it either.

[Milly most likely can't see the Psynergy Mia uses - Ply Well, to be on the safe side - but she will certainly feel the effects.]

There. How does that feel?
