John's head is bow, as Thomas's hands rest on his shoulders. "Will Mom really be alright?" he whisper.
Thomas squeeze John's shoulder, not wanting his own doubts to color John. "E-sumi saw to her himself. The fluid in her left lung will make it hard for her to breath but he is confident that with the right spells and potions, she will make a full recovery." He bow his own head. "But it will still take time, and rest for her to heal completely from the infection in her lung." Before he could say more, he look up to see Sam and Dagger unit, riding hard for Nald's gate. "Samuel..." he called, watching the young man, as he dismounted before the chocobo came to a full stop.
Sam rush up to the pair. "We rode hard once you call me," he said, looking worried. "Is she..." he bagan, holding himself as John came up to rest his head against his shoulder. He place a hand on John's shoulder, feeling the miqo'te shutter under his hand.
"E-sumi said that she will be fine..." Thomas said. "Yet, I fear how bad it would have been if we had waited like she wanted." He look hard at Sam, "I need you to do me a favor. Take John away from Ul'dah for a few hours. Reports from the Tonberry has been asking about Margret condition and I don't want to subject him to their question. Not while he is still upset over..."
"She wouldn't let me heal her...just like Sir Howl won't let me heal him."Â Another shuttering breath, "He hates me now...has every right to hate me after what I said to him."
Sam look confuse at Thomas. "He and this Howl had a falling out...after they found out how he had really been healing. They...exchanged words..."
"said he was being an idiot..."
"He's been stressing out himself trying to find a way to heal without using his aether or tying himself to the Elementals," Thomas finish, eying Sam. Sam nods, handing the miqo'te over to Axe. "I'll call you once the reporter leaves but I think he was planning on attending the Builder's celebration."

It was a couple of bells later once the group was away from Ul'dah. "So want to tell us about your unit?" Bandit ask. He frown when he saw Blade shake his head. "What...can't help ifna I want to know about who stole our Kid away." He turn to watch John fiddle with a small shard of crystal, copper wire had been wrap around it to form a little cage around it. That in turn was hook to a chain of copper as well. "What ya got there, Kid?"
John blink before slipping the Dream crystal necklace back around his neck. "Something Raimy gave me...after we got him back." He then began to tell the others about Raimy, from his first meeting with the elezen while fishing with him, Titor, and one other. "After he gave me the crystal, he asked me to unlace his boots for him, though I wish he had turn around so it would have been easier to untie them. Then he ask me to undo his belt because his knuckles where still mess up from the beating he took but when I went to do so he told me instead not to worry about it and he would just go on to bed like he was..." he blink as he found that the group had stop. "Um, what's wrong?"
"He wanted you to remove his boots...and his belt?" Sam choke out. John nods at the question. "And you didn't see anything wrong with that?"
"Well, I was blushing over the fact that I had to help him but he was badly injury and I'm sure that he was probably grateful for the help...where are you going Sam?"
"I'm going to murder and Elezen," Sam reply, heading for Eastern Thanalan and a direct line to the Shroud.
"Cap....Cap, think about this," Bandit said, placing his chocobo in front of Sam's. "He was probably just prank the Kid..."
"What he was doing was not a prank?"
Over on the side, John just watch in confusion. He could see Slayer, Nightingale, and Blade doing rock, paper, and scissor. A quiet sigh from Night, a smirk from Blade at Slayer who curse under his breath. "Look at it as good practice when Liza gets old enough to date," Nightingale said, smirking as well.
John blink as he was drag over to a far corner away from the group, who was now working on calming Sam down or figuring out the best way to make a Raimy pincushion for their daggers. He then began to fill him in on everything that Raimy could have probably done to him, if he had been of the mind to do so, and feeling bad at the raising look of horror that was crossing John's face. "But...but Sir Raimy wouldn't do that....Gods, I'm not going to be able to show my face around him. What must he think of me?"
"He probably thought he had someone that was eager as well until he realize that you had no idea on what was actually going on," Slayer said. "If he had went beyond that point...I can use my lance on him just as readily as I can us it on a Dragon." He glance up at the sun. "Is not the Builder's Celebration suppose to start?"
"Oh no. I still need to make that gift for Lady Jancis."
Thomas squeeze John's shoulder, not wanting his own doubts to color John. "E-sumi saw to her himself. The fluid in her left lung will make it hard for her to breath but he is confident that with the right spells and potions, she will make a full recovery." He bow his own head. "But it will still take time, and rest for her to heal completely from the infection in her lung." Before he could say more, he look up to see Sam and Dagger unit, riding hard for Nald's gate. "Samuel..." he called, watching the young man, as he dismounted before the chocobo came to a full stop.
