[It's the middle of a hot summer day when Emil finally returns to town after his fruitless search for Yuri's journal. A part of him knew he wouldn't find it, yet he couldn't not look for it on the almost nonexistent chance that Yuri might somehow have been able to fight the kidnapping droids off. As a result he's more resigned than discouraged right now-- a small blessing, really.

He's also shivering, teeth chattering, his arms wrapped around himself as he stumbles through town, thinking only of trying to get somewhere with lots of blankets and a space heater. He'd only stopped to examine that strange fire in the woods for a few minutes; it hadn't even been that hot, and besides, you can't come down with a cold from being too warm, right?

Maybe he should check in with Doctor McCoy just in case, but House #7 seems so far away and he's feeling so tired...

A few hours later, once he's actually made it to House #7, he'll open the journal and stammer a single short message based on vague memories of a couple of journal entries he saw earlier and the name Cheza gave him.]

H-hey, G-Ginko? I think... I think I f-found one of those mushi you m-mentioned...

[OOC: Feel free to run into him on his trek to the house; any thread with Ginko will be chronologically last for obvious reasons.]

Were you wandering around in that thunderstorm or something?

[the thunderstorm still freaks her out actually. Plus no idea what's happening with that lightning mushi right now Anyway, she grabs Emil's arm because he looks like he wants to pass out]

[knightofratatosk]

Th-thunderstorm? No, I was inside when th-that happened. I h-hate storms.

[She'll probably be surprised when she realizes that despite having long sleeves on, Emil's arm is freezing cold.]

[corrinesbell]

[almost lets him go]

You're like ice!

[knightofratatosk]

... I am?

[He does feel cold, but if anything, he thought that meant he has a fever.]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. ...Is that some weird summon spirit thing?

[...oops, hope he knew that already]

[knightofratatosk]

I d-don't know. I was feeling just f-fine earlier...

[But now he is shivering like crazy.]

[corrinesbell]

...Until when?

[remembering something she heard over the journal that pinged her because it was in her language]

[knightofratatosk]

Until... until...

[Why can't he remember?]

[corrinesbell]

C'mon, until when? What'd you do that made you cold?

[trying to warm you up with fire magic]

[knightofratatosk]

... I c-can't remember.

[That fire magic feels nice and warm, but it isn't going to do anything to raise his body temperature.]

[corrinesbell]

What'd you do today?

[knightofratatosk]

I w-was out in the f-forest looking for Yuri's j-journal.

[corrinesbell]

Didya find it? ...Did you find anything?

[thinking of where to take him that is warm and close by]

[knightofratatosk]

No...
