>Sigma (Holy Lady), Nurture Future. See to his wounds and needs.
"Oh, blessedth be, blessedth day!" The nun's hands are damn near breaking the wooden cross she has with how much force she's gripping it with. She's holding a bag in the other. "Bless the Father, Praise the Mother, Care for the Son..."
The knight flinches when he sees the new arrival.
ANOMALY: Sorry. I'm not in the interest for much today. Please-
σ: Blessedth be, blessedth he! Don't speak such nonsense, sweetheart!
There's a moment of silence before the knight lifts up his visor to show his face.
ANOMALY: I recognize that pattern.
σ: Seven knocks?
ANOMALY: Seven doors to heaven. Alright, what does my child want?
σ: Your soul has been battered and bruised. Your needs must be sated. Sit with me, child.
ETF-σ sits down. So does the knight.
She pulls out a bottle of red wine and the HOLIEST SCRIPTURE, followed by some fruit.
ETF-σ pours a small glass of wine for him and tosses him the apple.
A chuckle escapes her lips as she does so. As if she's made a joke just by doing that.
The knight cackles as he catches the apple. He bits down on it.
There's no noise aside from the occasional crunch and hushed readings of the book.
ETF-σ hands the book over to the knight. She stands up and goes to inspect his wounds.
She rests her hands on the broken bones before muttering a small prayer. Followed by pushing the two ends today.
The knight jolts in <span class="mu-r">pain</span> but doesn't react further.
σ: Anima tua luceat in aeternum. Numquam moriatur spiritus tuus!
σ: Ossa tua non conterentur!
<span class="mu-i">Benedictus Dominus, dimitte peccata mea.</span>
<span class="mu-i">Dimitte me propter delicta mea, praeterita et futura.</span>
ETF-σ knocks on the knight's armor seven times before bowing towards him. He bows in return.
BOTH: Amen.
A sigh escapes the old skeleton's mouth. <span class="mu-g">His dirty bones are a nice, shining white now.</span>
ANOMALY: It has been so long since I've heard those prayers. The other scholar of the Father is too busy, it seems.
ANOMALY: Thank you for your time. I feel better now.
ETF-σ nods before turning to leave the room. She waits a moment for the knight to say anything else.
He doesn't. ETF-σ goes on her merry way.
The knight stands back up and plants his sword into the ground. Ready to wait.
Ready to do what is asked of him.
Sigma sighs dreamingly. She hardly watches where she walks. She drifts down the hallway with an oddly pleased smile on her face. Well, hopefully she doesn't become V or Delta, you know?
