Well, I don't want to take up too much of your time... although comfortable seating and a cold glass of water wouldn't be unwelcome.

[don't worry she won't ask you guys to fan her and rub her shoulders.]

[inheritance]

That shouldn't be too much trouble. [Izuku replies, glancing at Minato just to make sure. It's his house, after all.]

Um, I can fetch water from the well? [He shifts from foot to foot, looking anxious to help.]

[messianic]

Yes, it's fine. Please come inside, Maribelle-san.

[While Izuku fetches water, they can at least do that much.]

[troubadamsel]

[Follow.]

Thank you, Izuku, Minato. I can only hope whatever this is, is not... contagious and spreads to either of you.

[inheritance]

[While Minato's getting her situated, Izuku dashes off toward the well to fetch some water!!

And he returns with a bucketful of it just a little while later.] Here it is! Sorry it took so long.

[messianic]

Contagious...?

[He didn't even think about that; his brow furrows as he thinks. Uh...]

...I'm sure we'll be fine. [Yeah.] I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else yet, so...

[At least, he's hoping so.

But yeah Minato just grabs a clean cup for Maribelle, so Izuku can pour the water into it.]

[troubadamsel]

[By the time he returns, Maribelle has pretty much made herself at home, sitting in a chair, staff propped up against the wall, and she daintily takes the glass when he approaches.]

Thank you, darling.

[Polite, silent sip.]

Do you think we should warn the others, over the forum?

[inheritance]

[D-darling??! Don't mind as he quietly freaks out at being called that, face heating up so much there's probably steam coming off of it.

Yeah, he's just... going to stand over here, off to the side with his arms covering his face like that might actually help in any way.


Sorry, what was the question again?]

[messianic]

[... C-cute... Izuku...... You're so obvious.

He'll take pity on Izuku and pick up the thread of answering Maribelle's question.]

Probably... People are going to want to know that it's something that could happen.

[Thankfully, they get the chance on Keith's post like a day later, so it all works out.]

I'll be sure to keep an eye on her too. [Just in case she...magically turns back to normal or something? He doesn't know.]

[troubadamsel]

[Granted, 'darling' is what she calls everyone...

She takes another sip, nodding to Minato.]

Very good. Let me know the moment anything changes. I'll see if I can discuss things with Henry - his dark magic and curses are different from my magic. It's no guarantee, mind you, but we must exhaust all options.

[She goes to address Izuku, and... uh.]

... Are you all right?

[inheritance]

I'm fine! [Izuku snaps back to attention, looking thoroughly embarrassed at having reacted like that. His face is still a bit pink, though, so he avoids looking at Maribelle for the moment. Wow, the floor is so fascinating.]

U-um, I think you're right about checking any other options we have. You don't mind talking to Henry?

[messianic]

[Izuku is Not Fine, Izuku is dying.]

I really appreciate it, Maribelle-san. You've been a huge help today.

[Even if the magic didn't work, her go getter attitude and ideas for where to go from here gives him hope.]

[troubadamsel]

[Izuku is absolutely Not Fine, agreed.]

Henry is my ally, oddities or not. If I can't talk to the only other person from my realm, then I'd be in a lot of trouble.

[But it's said in a calm, dismissive way, of course she can talk to him, silly billy.]

... But I won't take gratitude I haven't earned.

[inheritance]

[That, at least, gets him to respond normally.]

I don't think it's unearned, Maribelle-san. Even if the healing didn't work like we'd hoped, you tired yourself out trying. That's plenty enough to be grateful for. Right, Arisato-kun?

[messianic]

[Minato just nods simply, because of course he agrees. Maribelle did her best for Vriska, and even more importantly:]

You've helped us narrow it down, too. If some sort of magic works... we need to figure out what kind it is.

So really, you've helped a lot, Maribelle-san.

[troubadamsel]

... Hmph. What a couple of naive boys.

[But she says it with a smile.]

I guess if you're going to insist on thanking me, it'd be rude not to allow it. Very well, I accept your gratitude.

[inheritance]

[At that, Izuku relaxes and smiles, catching Minato's eyes.]

We do insist. Thanks for stopping by on such short notice.

[messianic]

[Honestly, yeah. Minato just nods in response, content.]

I'll keep you posted on Vriska-chan's condition, too. If something changes... it seems only fair.
