[ Sleep is hard for him in general anyway. With a soft click, he shuts the door behind him. Jing Yuan is welcome to sit on his neatly made bed, his small couch, or a plush chair. ]
It was difficult, to tell you the truth. We had to battle some ghosts, and we struggled to meet them in terms of skill.
As for the other matter, better to confirm that than to miss anything obvious.
[ Jing Yuan does an in-depth check, but despite everything, that results in nothing, even though he is certain that something is wrong.
He just simply sighs, though, and leaves it at that. This isn't exactly his level of expertise, and yet he knows it's bound to cause trouble in the future. It's not something to 'ah well' about... ]
...It seems you were right about nothing being 'apparently' off. You should have the Sage and his assistant see to you.
[ Ah, exactly what he thought. Kurapika lets out a sigh. ]
I think I will, at least once I feel less exhausted.
[ His exhaustion isn't a side effect of what happened to him, but rather all of the energy he's used up with his magic. The knowledge that something is very much wrong with him has only made it harder for him to recover. ]
[ Jing Yuan gives a nod, though he figures Kurapika needs his rest, so he will rise to his feet. He has questioned all that he had in mind, and any other topics even to him seem superfluous in the moment. ]
I should let you rest. Let us hope this too can be dealt with swiftly, given our current circumstances.
[ He doubts Kurapika is pleased about this himself, so he doesn't bother saying it. Jing Yuan understands the existence of tact.

He's tired, and it's obvious in the slump of his shoulders that he's still recovering from his exhaustion. ]
Ah. Jing Yuan.
[ He steps aside. ]
You're free to come in.
no subject
Apologies for disturbing your rest if you were taking it.
...How was the mission?
no subject
It's alright. I was awake anyway.
[ Sleep is hard for him in general anyway. With a soft click, he shuts the door behind him. Jing Yuan is welcome to sit on his neatly made bed, his small couch, or a plush chair. ]

no subject
[ He will seat himself down on the small couch. ]
...Ghosts, is it? That sounds troublesome already.
I assume they may have attempted to even take control of some of you. But you all fended them off successfully, I presume.
no subject
There was a cursed object that we needed to purify. I believe it was similar to what the Southern wizards brought back from their mission.
no subject
[ Interesting. Not a coincidence at all. ]
How did you all purify it?
[ Same method? ]
no subject
[ So, the same method. ]
And it was. A rather large rock, too, about the size of a cat.
no subject
...About the size of a cat? It wasn't cat-shaped either, was it?
[ That seems like, extremely specific? ]
Also, were there any other abnormalities you witnessed besides the ghosts and the rock?
no subject
[ So. That's where his mind went.
But he shakes his head. ]
There was a lot going on... is it an abnormality that they actually let us stay at the castle overnight?
no subject
It seems he will unironically understand Kurapika's comparison. ]
You were staying at the castle overnight during this?
no subject
Yes. After we finished our mission, they allowed us to spend the night.
no subject
It could have been something like a reward. Unless you noticed something odd while you were staying here.
no subject
No. The only thing odd, I think, is how I feel. The rooms were nice and quiet... the beds were comfortable.
no subject
[ Kurapika looks just tired to him but he will leave it up to him to elaborate. ]
no subject
[ He's been changed in a way he can't describe and for someone like Kurapika? It's hell. ]
no subject
When on the mission did this happen?
[ It's definitely something worrisome, considering that not knowing what kind of ramifications exactly is the opposite of ideal. ]
no subject
[ He can still feel it now, never having felt anything quite like that. ]
I saw images of the moon, too.
no subject
[ Jing Yuan doubts it, but he figures he'll just ask anyway, just in case. He doesn't want Kurapika to suddenly drop dead on them or something. ]
And what kind of images? Simply just of the moon? Or was there something notable about these images?
no subject
The moon shattering into a bunch of shards... I saw myself reflected in them.
no subject
[ Jing Yuan believes it simply a logical course of action, even if he has no earthly idea on what to do about it for the moment. ]
...You saw your reflection, and how did you appear? As you are normally? Or, was there some distortion?
no subject
[ Ugh. He hates even thinking about it. ]
You're welcome to look me over, though I doubt you'll find anything significant. I feel normal.
no subject

After that, he will move to head out! ]
no subject
Jing Yuan. Thank you. For coming to check on me... for listening.
[ His words are always sincere, but there's an undercurrent of vulnerability in them this time. ]
