[ It's been nearly a week at this point since Vander has been captured.
He would have seen Aetós about, but he's largely been in Adelfoúla's quiet "care". It's a bit much for the word, since he's been kept in a cell like an animal and indeed, just from the sounds and smells of the place, he might be the only person in here. On occasion, Aetós stops nearby, taking something out of a cage, and then there's silence. Once, something had been brought in to be placed nearby. But from the confines of his cell, it's hard to tell what, exactly is going on.
At one point, Aetós stops by. They're well out of arm's reach, but they're here to say simply: ]
It took a bit to get what I wanted. But you'll be soon. Don't worry.
[ And indeed, it's two days after that he gets his standard meal. It's no different from any others in taste or consistency (though of perfectly serviceable quality, the equivalent of cafeteria food), but not long after, he grows drowsy. He might think he's imagining it in the haze, but almost certainly... Adelfoúla was staring at him as he fell asleep with a frown. It could be concern. Who can say?
But as consciousness returns to him, he's somewhere else. It'll return slowly, but he's looking up at a high stone ceiling. There's more light here, and it's tinged teal. As he looks around, it's rather reminiscent of an operating theater. And, to the side, stands Aetós with their back to Vander. ]
Very good. How does it feel? Your Discord should at least be down. I prefer it be at zero when I start.
