Rita Mordio, genius mage.

action;
[ Nothing... It's almost frustrating because a battle would mean they've found at least part of the threat and dealt with it. Now they're downstairs and alone. ]
I guess it escaped... [ And was only interested in him. ]
action;
[Rita doesn't want to think it's only interested in him, but she knows it's possible...]
...Ugh... Well, it won't catch us sleeping again today, that's for sure.
action;
[ If something was only interested in her before, he thinks it's very possible...
But her saying that makes him blink. ] Do you want to take turns watching guard?
action;
[Definitely... Maybe he's the only one in the house who's cursed with whatever this is.]
Huh? If you think you can sleep... [She doesn't know if she can when some curse made Tyr get stabbed through...]
action;
[He can't believe she's not tired... It's only midnight.]
I can if we watch each other... We don't know what else will happen today...
action;
[She feels pretty awake at the moment.]
Well, if you think you can, then I'll watch you...
action;
And if you feel tired, I'll watch you... As long as one of us is up, we should be fine...
action;
Hmm... [Tyr's mushroom supply isn't limitless. She really doesn't want to be caught in her sleep. She trusts Tyr--she really does--but he might not be able to stop the curse if it attacks them.]
...I'm not tired, so don't worry about that.
action;
[That doesn't seem right... He looks over at her in concern and holds her hand a little tighter.]
Are you sure?
action;
[She looks at the far wall and nods. There's no way she's sleeping today.]
I'm not tired. I'll stay up.
action;
...I'll stay up with you, then.
[She's worrying him... She isn't exactly the kind of person that sleeps a lot, but when they've been awake all day? That's not right.]
action;
[She looks over at him again and her shoulders relax a little. She'll actually feel a little less worried if he stays awake, too.]
All right. I mean, if you're sure...
action;
[ And he can tell. She must be really scared... ]
I am. We can wait until Flynn and Riou are awake...
action;
[She's really worried about him...and it's hard not to think about her death.]
So we'll all spend the day watching each other...
[It sounds a little lame, to be sure, but it's a good idea.]
action;
[ He's worried about that, too, but he doesn't even think that Rita doubts his ability to protect her. He'd have to start believing it too if he did... ]
Yeah. We need to look out for each other...
action;
[They're both strong, and she knows they'll both to anything to protect each other. It's just that the City's too tricky sometimes.]
Yeah... I don't want anything else happening to you.
action;
[ Way too tricky... He wishes it wasn't like this... ]
Nothing else will... [ His voice lowers and he squeezes her hand. ] We...it can't happen if we're awake...
[ Or it could kill them before either have a chance to react...just like it did to Rita... ]
action;
[That's exactly what she's thinking, too. She can't be optimistic at times like these...]
We don't know that.
action;
...I know, but this could be different... [ It stopped after they woke up. ]
action;
[She wonders if them waking up is the reason it stopped... Even if it's true, they can't know, and she doesn't want to take the chance.]
I'm still staying up today. It's not like it's unusual for us to stay up past midnight...
action;
[There's no way they can really know... So they should be cautious as they can be. He nods in agreement.]
Is there something you want to do? We haven't studied anything seriously in a while...
action;
[Studying is a good idea... Rita can usually focus on studying even if there's other things going on.]
Yeah... Let's go to the study. You're okay with that?
action;
[ He nods. He doesn't know why she's concerned about that... ]
Of course... As long as there's nothing there...
action;
[She wonders if he'd rather be doing things like sparring, but she'd like them to stick together.]
There wasn't when we looked before.
action;
[ He'd rather stick together and save their energies. ]
That's true... All right, let's go.
[ And up they go-! ]
