Freya smiled at the two remaining, “Myste since you are able to do so I will ask you to go back with the Baron physically. I will also give you both amulets but I think your advice will be more useful if one of you is present in person to give it.”

Asuna woke up the next morning with Kim snuggled up to her back and a water bottle held to her belly. She tried to get out of bed without waking Kim but found she was already awake.

“Good Morning!” Kim said brightly. “I hope you’re feeling a little better this morning?”

“Emotionally at least,” Asuna said.

Linda had been given a list of food and drink Kim should avoid until her blood tests came back and thus started the longest three days of Asuna’s life. When Kim read the list she became the very picture of sorrow. She wailed and moaned and cursed her fate.

Asuna woke up to her alarm and sleepily grabbed her shower stuff and headed off to the bathroom. She waved to Linda as she went by and yawned, “Morning, I’ll be downstairs soon as I shower and dress.”

Asuna was just finished cleaning up all the glass on the floor when the doorbell rang, “Who could that be? Do you think somebody heard the glass shatter and called an ambulance or something?”

“I hope not,” Linda said. “I’ll go answer the door, you keep an eye on Kim.”
