'Pitiful man…'
Vale did not envy the caged man before him. What Vale had said, he said with purpose. "That's not to my displeasure, but yours."
Shaking his head, Vale left the captured Celestian behind, allowing Sandra to interrogate him as she liked.

Vale craned his neck to the side, looking at the makeshift 'hospital area' on Floor Two.
"How is she doing?"
Naiad, relaxing in the shade, looked over at her visitor.
"As far as I can tell, she's perfectly healthy."
"Do you know how to wake her up?"
"That is… a bit of a mystery to me."
'Hmm…'
Vale scratched his cheek while looking down at the sleeping beauty. The cat with a tranquil expression on her face as she blissfully snoozed.
Naiad's emerald eyes narrowed as she studied Vale's scowl.
"That expression… it doesn't suit you. Is there something weighing on your mind?"
