Aeleen

Adventurer Stories Episode 1 The Two-Faced Warrior Aeleen: Eeeek! Euden: What was that?! We'd better go check it out, Elly! Elisanne: Yes, Your Highness! Aeleen: No... If I fight you, I'll... Don't come any closer... Fiend: Grrrrrrrrrr! Euden: Watch out! It's— Aeleen: STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! Fiend: Graaaaaaaaah! Euden: Whoa. She made short work of that. Aeleen: Oh no! I...I did it again... Euden: Hey! You okay over there? Aeleen: Um... Y-y-you didn't see that, did you? Euden: We did, actually. We heard you scream, so we came running over and— Aeleen: I didn't intend for that to happen! I swear! I'm s-so sorry! I really didn't! Euden: Easy now. Honestly, I'm not even sure what you're apologizing for. My name's Euden, and this is Elisanne. Can you tell us exactly what happened? Aeleen: All right... My name is Aeleen. I used to wield a lance with a group of knights. Elisanne: Used to? What happened? Aeleen: Well, um... This is a pretty shameful story, so please don't laugh... Euden: We'd never do that. Aeleen: I...I got scared of fighting, so I ran away. Euden: You didn't look at all scared of it earlier. Aeleen: What you saw is the OTHER me. A terrible, violent me... Elisanne: Are you claiming to have multiple personalities? Aeleen: I don't know when or how it happened, but one day she was just taking control as I fought without me being aware of it. Once I realized that, I started to fear entering any battles where she might come to the surface... Elisanne: Hold. That sounded like... Euden: A fiend. It's going to get pretty hairy out here once the sun goes down. Aeleen, what do you say to spending the night in our castle? Aeleen: Really? I'd be delighted! Episode 2 A Desire to Help Euden: Thanks for the help, Aeleen. We had so much to buy today that we needed all the spare hands we could get. Aeleen: I'm just glad to make a contribution. I think your dream of making a country where everyone can be happy is a wonderful one. So I'll do whatever I can to help! I just wish I could fight. Then I'd be able to make myself even more useful. Euden: You're doing more than enough already. Don't worry about that. Elisanne: Indeed. Cleo was recently saying how much easier her work has become as a result of your continued presence. Aeleen: That's somewhat reassuring, I guess. Euden: Ha ha! Look, don't worry about i— Elisanne: Silence, everyone! Fiends draw near! They're close... Fiend: Grrrrrrrr! Aeleen: Eeek! Th-there's so many of them! Euden: You protect the stuff, Aeleen! Elly and I will handle these guys! Aeleen: *sigh* I should be fighting... But if I do, she'll come to the surface again... Wh-what should I do...? Fiend: Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Euden: Aeleen, watch out! ...Gah! Aeleen: Your Highness?! Elisanne: Your Highness! Haaah! Aeleen: Let me see that, Euden. Euden: Oh, I'm fine. It's nothi— Aeleen: A wound is a wound! Let me see it! I'm so sorry... This is all my fault... You should have ignored me. I'm nothing but a burden... Euden: You're not a burden—you're our friend. Don't say that about yourself again. Aeleen: I... All right, Your Highness. Euden: I'm taking that as a promise. ...Anyway, thanks. Should we head back? Elisanne: Yes, and with some haste—that may not be the last of the fiends. Aeleen: He called me a friend... I...I can't keep going on like this! Euden: Aeleen? Did you say something? Aeleen: N-no! It's nothing! Let's go! Episode 3 More Frightening Than Battle Aeleen: Hah! Yah! Hraah! Elisanne: Practicing with your lance, Aeleen? Aeleen: Oh! Hello, Elisanne. Elisanne: I was under the impression you were afraid of combat. So imagine my surprise to find you training late into the night. Aeleen: I...I can't keep going on like I have been. I can't keep running from battles like some kind of coward. Elisanne: Is this because of the time His Highness took an injury while protecting you? Aeleen: If I'd been able to fight, that would never have happened... But I couldn't. I was too scared. ...No. That's not strictly true. I was scared of becoming someone else as a RESULT of fighting, so I hesitated. He didn't think twice about putting himself in harm's way to save ME, and I repaid his kindness with inaction. Elisanne: So you train now in order to overcome that weakness and be of use on the battlefield? I find that to be quite respectable. Also, your skills are impressive. Aeleen: Yes, but I don't think it's helping at all. This is how it's always been for me. I perform just fine when training, but during actual battles... So, um...do you have any advice on how I can overcome this fear? I've always been impressed by how confidently you fight. Elisanne: You seem to be assuming that I feel no fear while in combat, which could not be further from the truth. Aeleen: R-really? Elisanne: Indeed. It's just that I have something that I fear more. And so long as that possibility exists, I will continue to fight without hesitation. Aeleen: What are you referring to? Elisanne: ...Not being able to protect that which is important to me. I know how it feels to lose someone I care deeply for. It is...terrifying. That's why I intend to rescue her—and to ensure I never make such a mistake again. Aeleen: I see... Elisanne: So then. You ask how I have the strength to stand in battle, and now you have your answer. Everyone has their own way of overcoming fear, however, so I know not if this will be of any use to you. Aeleen: ...Will you spar with me, Elisanne? Elisanne: Oh? Aeleen: I feel the same as you. I'm scared of fighting, but now I'm even more scared of the prince being hurt. He called me a friend, and I don't want him to be hurt ever again. Elisanne: ...Very well. Take up your lance. We begin at once. Episode 4 One Small Step Euden: Blast! They've caught us off guard! Elisanne: They must have been waiting to strike when we were few in number. Cravens! Aeleen: Your Highness! I'll... Wh-why? Why am I shaking? Even after all that training, am I still scared of losing control...? Elisanne: Aeleen! To your right! Aeleen: Wha—?! Your Highness! No...not again! Euden: Run back to the castle and get reinforcements! I'll hold them off! Aeleen: B-but... Euden: Please! Just go! ...Gaaaaah! Bandit: Bwaaaa ha ha! Ain't gonna be no reinforcements, boy! We'll be finishin' ya off right 'ere, so we will! Aeleen: Ngh... Gaaaaaaaaah! Bandit: Eeeeeeeek! Aeleen: Raaaaaaah! The next finger you lay on him will adorn my wall as a trophy! YAAAAAAAAH! Bandit: M-mercy... Mercy! Elisanne: Aeleen! ...That's enough. Aeleen: *pant* *pant* Elisanne: It's over. Euden: The bandits have fled. Aeleen: My other self...came out again... Euden: And it's a good thing! We'd have been in real trouble otherwise. We owe everything to your courage and skill. Thank you. Aeleen: I was frozen at first, but then I realized you were going to be hurt again. The moment that happened, my body just...acted. My other self seized control. *sigh* I haven't changed at all. Elisanne: That is untrue. Aeleen: What makes you say that? Elisanne: You heard my voice, did you not? At the end of combat? You ceased fighting even though your other self was still in control. It may seem like minor progress to you, but I definitely felt YOU standing before me, and not some other. You will overcome your fears, Aeleen. I am confident in this. Both your fear of battle, and of your other self. Aeleen: That means so much to me... Thank you! I won't give up! Episode 5 Be Yourself Cleo: Dinner is served. Apologies for the wait. Aeleen: Today I made the cuisine of my homeland. I hope you enjoy it. Euden: It looks delicious. Aeleen: There's plenty more where that came from! You all fought hard today, so you need to eat and regain your strength. Ranzal: Don't leave yerself outta that, Aeleen! You kicked more tail than all of us strapped together. Euden: He's right. We've really grown to depend on you out there. Aeleen: B-but my other self keeps coming out... Elisanne: True, but I wager you've gotten rather better at controlling that. You have changed a great deal. I couldn't have imagined you willingly engaging in combat when first we met, and yet look at you now. Aeleen: It's because of what you said to me. It's not that battle doesn't scare me anymore... I'm just more afraid of not being able to protect my friends. But now I know how to turn that fear into strength. And I don't run away anymore. Elisanne: That's good to hear. Aeleen: But the next step is for me to be able to fight as myself instead of...my other. It's embarrassing to have people see me when I'm so violent! Cleo: I'm sure you'll gain that control in time. You're moving in the right direction. Just keep making slow, steady progress. Ranzal: Eh, it ain't no big deal if ya ask me. Yer FIGHTIN'. Yer SUPPOSED to be all crazy eyed and foamin' at the mouth. Hell, I'd kiss a fiend if it gave me the kinda strength you got out there! Aeleen: S-so you think I should stay as I am? Then in that case, I will! Ranzal: Ain't nothin' wrong with who ya are right now. In fact, why don't I take ya out on the town?! We'll find us some bandits, maybe get in a tavern brawl—it'll be great! Aeleen: Er, but it's still so embarrassing... Euden: Look, Aeleen, just be whoever you want to be. You're an asset to us either way. Elisanne: I quite agree. We'll accept you either way. Although come to think of it, you once said you were impressed by how confidently I fought, did you not? I could say the same to you right now. You must have more faith in yourself. Aeleen: Oh, thank you so much! As for you, Your Highness, I'm so grateful you called a coward like me your friend. Euden: I just told you the truth, Aeleen. There's no need to thank me. Aeleen: But that was what made me want to change in the first place. And now I can help you with your dream of making this a kingdom for everyone! Euden: Well, I'd love the help!

Nurse Aeleen

Adventurer Stories Episode 1 Nursing a Dream Aeleen is a warrior. And while her soul is kind, when she gets into a fight... Aeleen: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIIIIIE! Er, well, she tends to lose her temper—hence her reputation as a warrior with whom one does not want to pick a fight. But the way of war was not always her chosen life's pursuit... Everyone: You want to become a NURSE?! Aeleen: Yes. It's long been a dream of mine. Everyone: ...... Aeleen: Why are you all looking at me like that? Is it really such a strange request? Elisanne: N-not at all! It just comes as something of a surprise, is all. Cleo: We certainly aren't thinking that nurse is a WILDLY inappropriate profession for one of your temperament. Euden: Er, maybe you should take a step back and tell us where this idea came from. Aeleen: I suppose I DID spring it on you out of the blue... Well, as you know, I currently follow the path of the warrior. But ever since I was young, I've always wanted to be a nurse. A kindly one who can see people through sickness and help with their injuries. Elisanne: There was a hospital in my hometown, so I'm quite familiar with nurses and the important work they do. I often saw them walking around in their spotless white coats—it seemed every child looked up to them. Euden: Sounds like quite the popular profession. But if that was your dream, how did you end up becoming a warrior? Aeleen: My village's vigilante militia apparently thought I had what it took. I couldn't bring myself to turn them down when they asked me to join, and before I knew it, I'd been with them for years. Cleo: That's surprising. I figured you became a warrior by choice, not because others had to talk you into it. Elisanne: Still, it's easy to see why they pursued you. You possess a natural talent for combat. However, it is very Aeleen for you to have fought this whole time while also being rather opposed to the entire enterprise. Aeleen: Oh, I don't regret becoming a warrior. I've been able to protect a lot of important things as a result, which is great. Still, this castle has plenty of warriors. So I thought now would be a good time to try and achieve my true dream. Euden: Well, I think it's a fine idea. You have my full support. Cleo: I, for one, would love some help dealing with the injured in our makeshift infirmary. Elisanne: You're very knowledgeable on medical herbs, so I know you'll be a fine asset. Aeleen: Thank you, everyone. I won't let you down! Truthfully, I've long thought that I'd be better suited to medical arts than combat! Everyone: ...... Aeleen: Oh dear. You're looking at me again. Euden: N-no we're not! We're just, um... Hahaha... Cleo: We're all very happy for you, Aeleen. However, if you plan to start this new path in your life, I have a little present to help get you started. Aeleen: A present? Several days later... Euden: Can I come in? Nurse Aeleen: Of course. W-well? What do you think? Euden: I think it suits you perfectly. Nurse Aeleen: Thank you! I felt like a real nurse the moment I put it on. Now I can finally get down to the business of healing! Cleo: It will certainly put patients more at ease than if you did your rounds in armor. Still, as nursing is traditionally a human profession, I had to copy other uniforms while making it, so I'm glad you like it. Nurse Aeleen: Like I said, I won't let you down! I'm going to be a kindly nurse who supports everyone from the sidelines! Euden: We can't wait to see you in action. Fiend: Graaaaagh! Nurse Aeleen: PERISH IN BLOOD, FELL BEAST! Fiend: ...Graaagh? Nurse Aeleen: I'm in the middle of seeing a patient here, but I guess I'll just have to bump YOU up to the front of the line! Fiend: Graaagh! Nyaaargh! Euden: Er, wasn't the plan to be a kindly nurse who stayed on the sidelines...? Together: ...... Nurse Aeleen: *pant* *pant* ...Oh no. I did it again. Elisanne: You suggested the other day that you are not truly suited to the rigors of battle, but I do not believe that is the case. Cleo: I don't think there are many others who could be so deadly with a staff... Nurse Aeleen: It just startled me is all! Give me another chance! Please! I KNOW I can learn to be kind! Episode 2 Feverish First Aid Notte: Euden! Wake up! It's morning already! Euden: Mmm? Oh, good morning, Notte. Geez, it sure is cold toda—WAAA-CHOOO! Notte: Uh oh. That doesn't sound good. ...Ack! Your forehead is burning up! You need a nurse, stat. I'm gonna get Aeleen. Nurse Aeleen: ...I'm afraid you've caught a cold. Euden: Then I'll just have to tough it out. Notte: Oh no you don't, bub! You need rest and recovery! Nurse Aeleen: Indeed, colds are not to be taken lightly. So today, I am going to act as your own personal nurse. Euden: But... Nurse Aeleen: This is my JOB, sir! Leave it to me! Euden: Well, if you say so... Nurse Aeleen: Now then, these three medicines are for your fever, so I need you to take them all. Euden: Er, it's a pretty low-grade fever. Won't one medicine be enough? Nurse Aeleen: I've made these from a variety of different herbs. Take them all, and your naughty fever will be a thing of the past! Euden: This still feels like too much... Nurse Aeleen: Obey your nurse! Euden: All right, all right! Down the hatch... Nurse Aeleen: Oh dear—look how much you're sweating. I'll change these sheets at once. Euden: But you've changed them twice already... Nurse Aeleen: You're in no condition to bathe yourself. You must allow me to help you. Euden: Ack, no! I'm fine! Seriously! Nurse Aeleen: Next, I must put fresh water in his room... Now I need to get the medicine ready... Elisanne: ...... Ranzal: Uh, Elly? Why ya givin' Aeleen the evil eye every time she comes by? Elisanne: While I appreciate the woman's dedication to her craft, I think she is...overdoing it. Ranzal: Bwaaa ha ha! Yer JEALOUS! Elisanne: I am NOT jealous! ...Merely concerned. Nurse Aeleen: Elisanne? Elisanne: Aeleen! Do not listen to this dunderhead of a clod here! I am in no way jealo— Nurse Aeleen: Goodness, your face is very red. Do you have a fever? Elisanne: ...Huh? Nurse Aeleen: Tsk! And your forehead is terrifically hot! Dear me, but I fear you may have caught Prince Euden's cold. I'm so sorry; I should have been more careful to ensure his germs did not spread. Elisanne: N-no! I haven't caught his cold at a— Nurse Aeleen: If it isn't a cold, then it may be something far more serious. Now then, you must tell me everything. How long have you had these symptoms? Elisanne: Umm... Ranzal: Hell, I can answer that one for ya! It all started 'round the time she first met ol' Euden. Elisanne: Silence yourself, sir! Nurse Aeleen: That long? This is worse than I thought. Come with me at once; I need you to tell me everything about your condition while I perform a thorough exam. Elisanne: I am NOT sick! Nurse Aeleen: Ah, that's what all sick people say. And yet, we never are as good at diagnosing ourselves as we think. Now come! I need you to tell me every last detail! Elisanne: I refuse! ...Argh! No! Stop yanking me! I'll get you for this, Ranzaaaaal! Euden: ...Wow, these fever dreams are intense. I swear I just heard Elly screaming. Notte: Then you better get back to sleep pronto, unless you want Aeleen coming back in here with another cold thermometer! Episode 3 Out for Blood Injured Bird: Tweeeet... Nurse Aeleen: All right, let's give this a try. I need to point the mana I've gathered outward... Cleo: That's right. Just relax and focus the mind on who you are healing. Nurse Aeleen: ...There! Oh! Injured Bird: Tweet? Nurse Aeleen: Oh! His wings are healed! Bird: Tweet tweet tweeeet! Cleo: Congratulations on your first successful healing. Nurse Aeleen: I really did it! Oh, I'm so happy! That's another step closer to being a full-fledged nurse. ...Er, right? Cleo: Indeed. Now you just need to increase your success rate and make yourself ever more dependable. Nurse Aeleen: Thank you for teaching me, Cleo. Euden: Is it true you can use healing magic now, Aeleen? That's great! Nurse Aeleen: I owe it all to Cleo for being such a good teacher. Hold on a moment... Are you hurt, Prince Euden? Euden: Er, I don't think so? Nurse Aeleen: Yes, of course. ...Well, if you ever ARE, know that I'll be more than happy to set your ailments to rights. Euden: We'll be counting on it. Nurse Aeleen: I'm going to study hard and become the finest nurse in the land! Luca: Gaaah... Owwww... I tell ya, Sarisse's body blows get more deadly by the day. Nurse Aeleen: ARE YOU INJURED?! Luca: What, this? Nah, this is just more of a... Well, somethin' I'm used to, I guess. Nurse Aeleen: Oh. Well, that's good. Er, but if you ever ARE injured, come to me! Luca: You got it. And thanks for the concern! ...Er, that WAS concern, right? Elisanne: I can't believe it's taken me this long to notice you were fraying. But don't worry, Matilda; as soon as I'm done sewing you back up, I'll give you all the snuggles in the wor—OW! Nurse Aeleen: ARE YOU INJURED?! Elisanne: Hello, Aeleen. No, I'm fine. Nurse Aeleen: You pricked yourself with a sewing needle! You need painkillers! Iodine! Bandages! Elisanne: It was just a simple pinprick. I'm not even bleeding. Nurse Aeleen: Ah. Y-yes, of course. Elisanne: Aeleen, how long have you been standing outside my door? Nurse Aeleen: Oh, from right around the time you said, "But don't worry, Matilda; as soon as I'm done sewing you back up, I'll give you all the snuggles in the wor—OW!" Elisanne: Aaaargh! Ranzal: Urgh... The pain... Nurse Aeleen: ARE YOU INJURED?! Ranzal: Uuurgh... Just ate too much for dinner... Well, technically it was second dinner... Plus an early breakfast... And snacks... Nurse Aeleen: Well, that's not helpful at all! Ranzal: Er, SHOULD it be helpful? ...Wait, where ya goin'?! Notte: Okay, so I was taking a nap earlier and sorta fell off the desk. ...Don't laugh. Anyway, Aeleen comes running to see if I'm hurt, but when I tell her that I'm fine, she gets all huffy and leaves! Euden: Heh. I suppose it's normal to want to make use of a new skill. Anyway, do you want me to read you the rest of that faerie tale we started earlier? Notte: Do I ever! Crack that sucker open like an egg in a hammer store! Euden: I'm going to take that as a yes. Now where were we...? Ow! Notte: Oh man, paper cuts are the wors— Nurse Aeleen: ARE YOU INJURED?! Together: EEEEEEEEEK! Nurse Aeleen: Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I just heard someone cry out in pain and rushed in to see if I could help. Euden: Er, I just cut my finger on the edge of one of the pages here. Notte: It's even bleeding a little. Nurse Aeleen: Yesssss! It IS bleeding! Notte: You sound weirdly happy about that. Nurse Aeleen: What? Of course not! I would never be happy to see someone hurt! But now that I've finally met someone who's really injured, I'm so... *sniff* Give me your hand and let me heal you, Prince Euden. Euden: Er, all right. Euden: (Heh. I don't think she's aware of how she's coming across to everyone.) Nurse Aeleen: Right. First, I need to focus on the mana around me and harmonize with it... Euden: (Well, whatever makes her happy.) Nurse Aeleen: Then I need to point the mana I've gathered outwards... Relax... Focus my mind... Episode 4 A Bitter Pill Euden: Whew! We're finally here... Nurse Aeleen: You can't let yourself be tired yet; our work has only begun! Euden: I can't believe you have so much energy. We've been fighting for days without end, yet you're spending all of your downtime tending to the sick and wounded. Nurse Aeleen: I just want to help people. Euden: Oh, I'd say you're doing that. In fact, I'd say you're working above and beyond what your average nurse would do by making your own medicine and such. Nurse Aeleen: Well, many small towns and villages don't have doctors or healing-magic users. And those are the people I want to help, even if it isn't technically within my job description. Now then, are you ready to get moving? I have to deliver this medicine, stat! Villager: Thank you, Aeleen! This should have my wife back to her old self again! Nurse Aeleen: I'm glad to hear it. Please tell her that I would love to see her again. Villager: Thank you for helping me before, Aeleen. Oh, but lately I've had this strange cough... Nurse Aeleen: Here, let me give you something for it. Euden: Wow, everyone really seems to love you. You have so many patients now! Nurse Aeleen: "Love" is probably a little much. I'm just trying to help. Villager: Yeah! Why would anyone love someone like her? Mother: Don't talk to the nurse like that! I'm so sorry for his behavior, Aeleen. He loves you—he's simply too shy to admit it. Villager: No I DON'T! Nurse Aeleen: Oh dear, someone seems to hate me. Did you take the medicine I gave you? Villager: No way! It tastes TERRIBLE! Mother: I'm sorry. I've tried everything, but he simply refuses to take it. Nurse Aeleen: You shouldn't cause such trouble for your poor mother, child. If you refuse to take your medicine, you're only going to get sick again. Villager: I won't take anything YOU give me! Nurse Aeleen: Hmm... This is a tough one. Thug: Well, well, well! If it ain't the lady what's passin' out free goodies. Yer the one givin' folks medicine, yeah? Nurse Aeleen: I am. What of it? Thug: Give it here. Right?! We deserve it much as anyone! Plus, uh... Oooo! My stomach! Sounds like SOMEONE needs medicine! Now hand it over, lady! Euden: Let me take care of this, Aeleen. Nurse Aeleen: I have this under control, thank you. Now let me see what I have to deal with that stomach issue of yours... Villager: Don't give them anything! Yeah, these guys are nothing but crooks! They've been stealing our medicine and selling it on the black market for ages! Nurse Aeleen: They...steal medicine? Thug: Shoulda kept yer mouths shut... Now YER gonna need medicine! Nurse Aeleen: You are terrible! The people here are doing their best to fight their illnesses, and you would seek to PROFIT from that?! Thug: Shut up and make with the goods, lady! Unless you wanna be dippin' into your own supply once we work ya over! Nurse Aeleen: St-stay back! Euden: Get away from her! Thug: Get lost, punk! Euden: Are you crazy?! Put that knife away! There are children everywhere! Thug: Go on and grab the goodies! I'll carve this one up reeeal nice... Bwaaa ha ha! Sure thing, boss! Nurse Aeleen: N-no! Please, stay back! Villager: Stay away from her! Mother: No! Come back! Nurse Aeleen: Don't do it! Thug: Looks like we got us a brave little brat. Get lost, kid! Villager: Eeek! ...Huh? I'm...okay? Thug: Huh?! Nurse Aeleen: ...... Thug: The hell is up with this dame? Let go'a me already! Nurse Aeleen: Nurses don't just save lives... Some of us also take them. Thug: EEEEK! What are you waitin' for?! Get this dame already! Nurse Aeleen: Let's see how much you talk when I CRACK YOUR FACE OPEN LIKE A FREAKIN' WALNUT! Thug: Eeeek! This one's CRAZY! W-we're gettin' outta here! NOW! Eeeeek! Waaaait for meeeeee! Euden: Are you all right, Aeleen? Nurse Aeleen: ...I did it again. Euden: Yeah, you did. But you ALSO drove those thugs off without anyone getting hurt. Nurse Aeleen: I suppose that's good. But... Mother: ...... Villagers: ...... Nurse Aeleen: But now everyone is terrified of me. Villager: Oh... Nurse Aeleen: I'm sorry. I know that was scary. Can you stand on your own? Villager: Eeeeek! I'm fine! Nurse Aeleen: That's good. I'm going to give you some more medicine—so make sure to drink it this time, all right? Villager: Y-yes, ma'am! Right away, ma'am! *glug* *glug* *glug* Mmmm! S-sooo...tasty... Now please don't hurt me! Pleeeeease! Mother: Come back! Nurse Aeleen: Wait! You don't have to run from... *sigh* Euden: Well, at least you got him to take his medicine, right? I mean, that's SOMETHING. Nurse Aeleen: This is hardly how I dreamed my career as a nurse would play out. Did I actually say I'd crack someone's head open like a WALNUT? Everyone, wait! Let's start over! I can be kiiiind! Episode 5 Dislocated Expectations Villager: Did you hear about how Aeleen drove all those villains away with just a glare? Hear it? I SAW it! She had crazy eyes, so she did. I've never seen the like! Villager: I don't wanna take my medicine! Mother: If you don't, Aeleen will make you! Villager: EEEEK! I'll take it! I'll taaaake it! Ranzal: Yep. Sounds like Aeleen is REAL popular in that village. Luca: Not sure popular is the word I'd use. Ranzal: But it ain't like they hate her, exactly. I mean, there's worse things to be than the "nurse of nightmares" that ya don't wanna be pissin' off. Euden: I doubt she feels the same. Nurse Aeleen: *sniff* Euden: (Wait, was that Aeleen?) Nurse Aeleen: *sigh* I can't believe that's how people are talking about what happened. Though I probably shouldn't be surprised; it's normal to be shocked by what I did. I mean, I'm rather shocked myself. *sigh* I need to go to the village to do my usual rounds, but I just... Maybe I should take a day off. Euden: Do you have a moment, Aeleen? Nurse Aeleen: Yes, of course. What is it? Euden: Sorry for showing up unannounced. Are you busy? Nurse Aeleen: It's fine. How can I help? Euden: Well, when I was training with Ranzal yesterday, I fell and hit my arm. Nurse Aeleen: Goodness, that's a serious bruise! You should have shown me this earlier. Euden: It honestly didn't seem so bad yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, it was... Well, let's call it colorful. Anyway, do you think you can take a look at it? Nurse Aeleen: Of course! Euden: Thanks. Nurse Aeleen: ...All right, I'm finished. You really need to take better care of yourself, you know? Euden: Yeah, I know. I've always been bad about tending to myself ever since I was a kid. Zethia used to take care of me like you're doing now. Nurse Aeleen: She's your sister, right? Euden: Yes. She would follow me everywhere, insisting it was her job to heal me. Nurse Aeleen: I suppose everyone dreams of being able to help others when they're young. Euden: Maybe so. Speaking of which, was that what made you want to be a nurse to begin with? Nurse Aeleen: Well... My hometown is far to the north, in a region of heavy snow. We didn't have anyone who knew the first thing about healing magic. So when the roads were blocked by snow—which happened often—getting sick or injured often spelled death. Euden: Snow is always pretty from a distance, but it's easy to forget how hard it can be for the people who live with it. Nurse Aeleen: You're right about that. But one day, a nurse came from out of town. She built a small hospital for us that changed everything. She was kind, devoted, and always happy. Soon, illness was no longer the death sentence it used to be. I looked up to her, and dreamed of being like that one day myself. Euden: And that set you down this path? Nurse Aeleen: It's almost too straightforward a reason. Still, as much as I want to be like her, it seems that will never happen. Euden: Why not? Nurse Aeleen: Because at the slightest provocation, I turn into my other self—as with those bandits the other day. Our nurse was the embodiment of kindness, but I never will be. Euden: I think you're doing perfectly fine. Nurse Aeleen: Did you not see how horrified everyone was at my actions? They will never think of me as a kindly healing goddess now. Euden: A goddess, eh? Aeleen, did you look up to that nurse just because you wanted to be a "kindly healing goddess"? Nurse Aeleen: W-well... Euden: I don't think that's the case. I think it was because she helped lift the specter of death that hung over your village and its people. Nurse Aeleen: Now that you mention it... Euden: You might not be able to become exactly like that nurse—but that's because you're NOT her. People are all different. But even if you don't have her personality, isn't it enough to become a nurse who helps people as she did? Nurse Aeleen: No, you're right. You're absolutely right. All this time, I've been so focused on becoming her that I lost sight of why I started feeling that way in the first place. I need to focus on trying to be more like her in my deeds, not her doppelganger. Euden: I know you can do it. Nurse Aeleen: Thank you for helping me realize all of this, Prince Euden. Cleo: Excuse me, Aeleen? Some people from a nearby village came to inquire about why their usual nurse hadn't come to visit. They're quite worried. Nurse Aeleen: They did? Really? Cleo: They're waiting outside the gate. Would you mind going to see them? Nurse Aeleen: Of course! Prince Euden, I... Euden: It seems someone sees you the way you saw the nurse from your childhood. Nurse Aeleen: I truly hope so. Euden: (I'm glad everything worked out, Aeleen.) Cleo: Er, by the way, I suppose I have no reason to keep this from you, so... Euden: Hmm? What is it? Cleo: A few of the patients who came today seem to be rather...frightened. They believe they have angered Aeleen, yet want her help so badly they practically begged me to go find her. Euden: Let's maybe not tell Aeleen that bit.
