Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Normally I would say 'no'." Hal responded. "Let them wake up normally. Or naturally." he said.

"But... time may very well be of the essence here." he then admitted.

"So, please. If you can speed it up, do so." he told her.

"The faster we can potentially get information... the better." he reasoned.

"That's really all I can think of right now."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Sariel nodded.

Please. Tell me where I'm going then." She stated.

"I'll do what I can to wake them. And hopefully we can get some answers."

Hal thought again for a moment.

"Cameron was injured... so..." he continued, trailing off a bit, and then snapping his fingers.

"Ah! Cell 1A or 1B." he told her.

"Right near the medical wing." he went on.

"You'll see them along the way TO said wing."

Sariel nodded.

"Are you coming with, or shall I report back here?" She asked him, her voice curious. It made no difference to her, she just wanted to know what the plan was.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"Report back here, please." Hal replied.

"I need to start filing this incident." he said.

"I know there are greater things at work here, but still. I cannot let this go undocumented for long, lest things get worse by red tape enforcers being sent in." he grumbled further.

"Do you need an escort?" he asked her.

"Or will you be fine in your own?"

Sariel nodded.

"Will do." She said.

"I'll be back once I can be." Witht hat, she said her farewells for the moment, and headed off. She knew where it was that she was going, and found her way down to the rooms in question without issue. She sent the guard away for a moment, before stepping into the room.

On the bed was the one she was looking for, or at least the shell.

"Well, let's see what happens next..." She muttered as she stepped up and laid her fingers on the temples as she bent over a little bit. She closed her eyes and concentrated, focusing on what she was doing. After about a minute of nothing happening, though, she felt the rebound before it happened. She couldn't stop it. She couldn't brace herself.

The next thing she knew, she was blasted back with enough force that she went through the reinforced window, straight into the hall. Sariel landed in a heap, bloody with broken glass all around her and the wall damaged.

And the shell, Cam, Alicja, whoever would wake... was still out cold.

The security guard that had been assigned to stand watch at the door to the room that Cameron was being held in was... surprised by what happened, to massively understate it. He was shocked when the initial reaction happened, but then appeared to be stunned for close to 5 seconds, as he took in what all HAD happened, and the status of everyone involved.

"...good Lord!" he then exclaimed, as it all finally clicked, and he checked Cameron. The body, the shell, was still motionless and out cold, but he still took a couple of seconds to call in backup, in case this was a legit breakout attempt.

He then raced to where Sariel was, and knelt down by her.

"Are you all right!?" he asked her.

"What just happened there!?" he asked further.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Sariel was silent as she forced herself to a seated position, having a hard time with it for the moment.

"A rebound." She answered.

"I need to speak with Sharp." She added before forcing herself to her feet. She hurt, a lot, and it was making it a bit difficult to move effectively for the moment. She approached the wall and laid her hand on where it still was intact. After a few seconds, the guard was able to literally watch as it repaired itself. The pieces were pulled off of the floor, as it seemed like time was being rewound for it.

"Get someone medical to make sure that they are all right. They should be fine after that, but just make sure."

The guard was stunned for a moment, but nodded.

"Yes, right away." he replied.

"But what about you?" he asked.

"Will YOU be all right? You look previously injured." he commented further.

"Should I call someone to have a look at your injuries?" he asked her.

Sariel just sighed.

"I should be."' She told him honestly. "I'm not sure what the damage is, entirely, but I'll be fine. It's more important I talk to Sharp." She paused a moment.

"If I need to, I will stop by the medwing after." She assured him before starting to head off, a bit of a limp to her stride, but shje was able to suppress it well enough. It wasn't slowing her down too much, at the very least.

The guard was silent as he watched her head off, but he didn't really have time to say anything more, as some people came to help assess the situation and make sure people were okay.

Meanwhile, Sariel's journey back to Sharp's office was surprisingly uninterrupted, and the shocked Arryn didn't really have much of a chance to say anything, before Sariel knocked on the door.

"Come in?" Sharp responded, as she opened the door.

"Good Heavens!" the djinn exclaimed.

"What happened!?" he asked. "Did he attack you, too!?"

Sariel didn't say anything as she closed the door behind her and just made her way over to the seat across from Hal, and sank into it.

"I'll clean the blood off after." She told him.

"I just need to sit my ass down." She added before taking a minute to suppress the pain.

"And to answer your question... technically." She then said, meeting his gaze.

"There was a rebound. I can do nothing to that shell."

Hal just cursed. It was under his breath, and in a foreign language, but thanks to who and what Sariel was... she understood it plainly and clearly. And, it was no secret that Hal was not pleased right now.

"Of course." he then said.

"Why should things be even the slightest bit easy right now?" he asked rhetorically and sarcastically.

"Well, two things." he went on, looking at her.

"Will you be okay?" he asked her sincerely. "And do you have any idea what CAUSED the rebound?"

"I'm hard to kill." Sariel answered before sighing.

"Encrae." She then said, answering his second question.

"I cannot affect anyone who has come under effect from this." She told him. "As I'm divine... and she has that fucking contract." There was definitely venom to her voice, far more than was expected. Sariel was God's Patience, and she was almost never angry, but this, here... Hal could hear it plain as day. He could easily guess she was furious, livid, but was reigning it in well enough to not blow up in the building.

Again, Hal looked unimpressed.

More so now, than before. He looked ready to slam his fist down onto his desk, but stopped himself from doing so.

"Of COURSE it's her." he snarled.

"Why WOULDN'T it be?" he asked further.

"Well, now we know this is some sort of attack orchestrated by her." he then stated. "However, there is one big question that needs answering... but we have no way to get it answered." he went on.

"HOW?"

"I have absolutely no idea." Sariel answered honestly.

"If I did, I would share, but we both know that even you can't get the information you want for that." She added after a moment or two.

"And... and..." She started before shaking her head.

"And..." She seemed to be stuck on that, and it was sudden. She couldn't get what she wanted to say out, and Hal was able to literally watch her expression change from the anger, to more shocked.

"... I... I wi..." She started, but it took a lot of force, effort. However, she couldn't say anything more, and while she knew what was going on, knew this feeling, she couldn't quite vocalise it, or properly grasp it at the moment to pass on in any way.

Hal was no longer angry. Or, rather, he was still angry, but this sudden confusing development had caused it all to be shoved down and replaced with outright confusion, and concern.

"...Sariel?" he addressed her.

"What's... what's wrong?" he asked.

"What's happening to you right now?" he asked her further.

He'd never seen her like this, never heard her like this. Granted, their interactions had been short and limited, but she'd always portrayed herself as... well... not like this in the slightest.

So to see her like this suddenly was jarring, to understate it.

Sariel didn't say anything, just brought her hands up to her head, looking to be in some sort of anguish.

"She... she's in my head... I ... I can't..." She managed to get out, after a lot of effort. She seemed to double over a bit, trying to ignore, suppress, reject, or handle it. She couldn't though. Hal could literally see the effect, the results, seeping in. It looked like she was calming down, her hands had less tension, less stress, and he could see that actively fading.

The only reason could be that the mana was getting to her more.

"I... I'm sorry...." She said quietly, seeming to realise what was coming.

Hal was immediately on his feet, and rushed over towards her. He knelt down a little, putting his hand on one of her knees.

"It's okay, it's okay." he said.

"I'm here, and I'll make sure you'll be all right." he told her.

"I'll get help from your siblings, and we'll try and get it so you're back on your feet." he continued.

"There's no need to apologise." he then finished, internally cursing at JUST how much power and influence Vanessa had.

Sariel was silent, not able to say anything for the moment.

"I... I..." She started, trying to say something, anything. She wanted to wish for something, give him some sort of protection. but she couldn't. As soon as that thought crossed her mind, she felt a pulse through her head. Hal saw the twitch, before she met his gaze. He could see the edge she was on, before she was out. Probably more solidly than Cam was at the moment.
