Edonil: I'm doing good! 1430 words so far today, and I want to do 2000. Of course, 3000 or even 4000 would be great… It's a Friday night, and I'm a geek, so that should be possible, right?

Edonil had a character,
Who was called Crims often.
Then there was small, cute Sarah, cute Sarah, cute Sarah!

Chapter Fifteen

"Kuja?" Kuja sat up instantly. Crims laughed. "You look exhausted, Darling. Where are we? What happened?"

"You were sick," Kuja explained, his voice breaking. "I brought you here, to my Desert Palace, and gave you an antidote."

"Ok." Crims sat up in bed and looked around the room. "I like your palace. Are you sure we have to return to Alexandria?"

"Yes, we really should." Kuja looked around. "But not right away. You should get better, first." Crims shrugged.

"I feel fine."

"Are you sure? You look a bit pale-"

"Kuja, I'm fine. I'll live. Now, why don't you go back to sleep. You look very tired." Kuja opened his mouth to protest. "I'll sleep if you do, and then I'll get better faster." That shut Kuja up. He nodded slowly.

"Alright. I'll be next door." Crims had to grin at his modesty. So silly, sometimes.

"That's fine. Now go." Kuja didn't need much more convincing.

---

Crims woke for the second time, yawning. The first time she'd awakened, she'd felt a little off. Now she felt right as rain. She'd be fine. Hopefully Kuja would understand.

He was probably still asleep. He hadn't looked terribly awake before. Crims was hungry, though. Well, this was her boyfriend's house, so she should be allowed to get food herself. With that thought in mind, she got out of bed.

She had a little difficulty walking after being in bed for so long. How long had she been asleep, anyway? Hopefully not too long. She wouldn't get out of shape.

Now to find the kitchen.

It didn't take her long. In fact, it only took about five minutes. At every intersection was a neatly labelled map, clearly marking her current position.

She quickly fixed herself a sandwich, and sat at a table to eat. As she ate, she examined the kitchen. Her room had been white and purple. A bit of black trim. But the main colours were white and purple. The same held true for the kitchen. If the same was true for all the other rooms, she'd have to ask Kuja if she could paint some of the rooms a different colour.

Or she could just tell him. That would work, too.

"Crims? Are you alright?" Crims looked towards the door, where a very dishevelled Kuja was standing.

"I'm fine," she assured him. "I was hungry, and you were still asleep."

"But this place is dangerous-"

"It's fine, Kuja. I'm all in one piece. Care to join me?"

"… Alright."

Kuja sat down at the table, and helped himself to the second sandwich Crims had made, in anticipation of his visit.

Edonil: I'm getting good at writing about nothing and reaching a point of nowhere. The reason this chapter ended is indeed because it was going nowhere. Oh, and if you're wondering why Crims got sick, and what spurred that on, I have no idea. I had no idea what I was going to write, so I wrote the first thing that came to mind. It sort of fits with my grand scheme for the story. More of the plot should be revealed in the next couple chapters… In about nine months of Gaia-time, actually, which can't possibly take that long… I'm babbling now, so I'll stop. Please R&R!
