Two more weeks have passed and Minerva has been seeing changes in Erza. She noticed that Erza's senses were coming back but she wasn't fully sure if Erza's memory was still as it was or if was going to happen any time soon. During the time however, Erza had been able to feel her way throughout the house and she would be able to hear Minerva coming to her no matter how quiet Minerva walked up to her. So far the hearing sense and the feeling sense were looking good. Minerva was kind of hesitant about the sense of taste and the sense of smell, she wasn't sure how those were coming.
Minerva got an idea and got an onion and had something pinching her nose as she led Erza to the kitchen. She had Erza to sit in a chair of course Erza, thought she should ask a question.
"Minerva?"
"Yes Erza?"
"...what's with your voice?"
"What about it?"
"It sounds kind of high pitched."
Minerva felt her brow twitch but she didn't say anything.
Instead Minerva got a knife and had an onion in her hand.
"I'm just going to test you on something, Erza."
Erza smiled.
"Really? Like what?"
"You'll know real soon."
With out another word, Minerva cut the main part of the onion in half. After cutting it she placed the more strong part of the onion next to Erza who was just sitting there with her eyes covered with bandages. Minerva was hoping even just a little that Erza would get a small hint of the onion.
Not too long afterward Erza sniffed as if she was about to cry.
"Minerva...what is that?(sniff) it burns..."
Minerva had a soft smile as she put the onion into something to block the strong smell. She went back to Erza and smiled.
"That was just an onion, it's used to flavor food."
"..."
Minerva just stood in front of Erza but then she blinked when she felt Erza put her face into her upper stomach.
"Is something wrong, Erza?"
"I was wondering what you smelled like. How come you're naked."
Minerva felt her brow twitch as she looked down at the bind wizard.
"I am wearing clothes but my stomach isn't covered."
Erza then leaned her head on Minerva's stomach
"Minerva?"
"Yes?"
"Will you rub my head?"
Minerva just looked at her then she carefully stroked her clawed hand on Erza's head, being careful not to cut her or the bandages.
After a while Minerva had Erza to lay in bed. For the most of the day it had been raining hard so Minerva stayed with Erza for most of the time. When it was night time Minerva had Erza tucked into the bed and was about to climb into her own bed that was on the other side of the room. After she climbed into her bed she went to sleep.
Minerva was woken up by the sound of a loud clapping thunder. She sat up and then she heard a soft crying sound coming from Erza's side of the room. She got out of her bed and went to check on her. When she got to Erza she saw that Erza was tossing and turning her head as if she was having some kind of nightmare.
"Minerva...where are you?"
Minerva frowned and then she saw Erza lift a hand as if she was searching for her. Minerva grabbed her hand and used a free hand to stroke Erza's head.
To her shock, Erza had a cold sweat ad a fever.
Minerva narrowed her brow but she climbed into the bed and brought Erza into a firm embrace.
"Minerva? Is that you?"
"Yes, I'm here."
Erza buried her face into Minerva's shoulder and clung onto her. Minerva rested her chin on Erza's head and tightened her grasp on Erza.
"So you can hear and feel me."
"And smell you."
Minerva nodded then she looked down at Erza who seemed to have calmed down a little and Minerva smiled at her.
'Sleep well Erza.'
