[Well, I think Finni is currently trying to get into the castle and we'd need Solstice for that anyway, so we could just keep roleplaying if you want? No need to rush anything]

(Hey guys, I am here. I am in an intense amount of pain, but there is nothing really I can do about it, so I might be a little poofy, but otherwise I am here.)

(well, I have a swollen/infected gland right now and it presses right into my bodies pain center/nerves. It causes intense pain and I have a super super low pain tolerance anyway. We went to the doctor yesterday and she said just to soak for 2 hours a day in warm salt baths, and take antibiotics, which should help it drain or burst on its own and kill the infection if there is one. So far it doesn't seem to be helping much at all, and that is frustrating by its self, but it gets worse. I haven't been able to sleep for 2 days now, because I have to be laying on my back, or it gets aggravated by the pressure. I don't sleep well on my back ever, so I am exhausted and in pain, my hormones are all out of whack too, so every time it hurts I cry, ((Usually It takes a lot more to get actual tears going, but all I have to do is think of the pain, and they start, so I know its my brain chemicals that are off)) and I'm already dehydrated because of the hot salt baths... I am just kinda a mess right now.)

(I hope so too X'D Most doctors/websites/others who have had this/ say they last about 3-4 days, but right now, that feels like an eternity, it hurts soo much.
but like I said, its not like I really have another option, because the doc said yesterday that Surgery gets rid of them, but mine quote: "Doesn't need it yet. if it gets worse in a few days then maybe." so she wasn't super sympathetic or helpful either. Either way I will just have to wait a few days to see if the pain goes away or if it gets worse then I will have to have the gland drained/unblocked surgically.
Your support is super helpful though, and I mean just talking about it helps,(I am the only one at my house just now, so I can't vent to other people) and talking/rping serves as a distraction from focusing on it. which is nice.))

[Oh, well, at least it doesn't last too long! I hope you won't need surgery; it's never a pleasant experience to have to have surgery. I have to go and have a gastroscopy in August, which I'll be put under anaesthetic for. I'm not looking forward to that but I'm not in any pain or anything, it's just to find out what's causing my acid reflux.
I'm glad I'm helping! I'm always here to chat or rp with you <3]

(I wouldn't really be opposed to the surgery actually If it meant it was gone faster, especially since it would be a really minor one, to just drain the gland an stuff. But it is actually feeling a little better now, I think the pain meds and stuff are helping, the meds also help in reducing the swelling, which is really what I am going for, since less swelling means less friction and pressure. Ibuprofen/Tylenol are my friends XD
anyway, do we want to have Finni summoned? for some reason I think his scene with Duncan will be super interesting, and maybe he could convince him to let him stay in the castle (thus giving him time to help Elric and Keegan) by saying being in the castle will help his readings of the future or something like that, (some reason he totally makes up) lol)

(sure ) Finni sat in an alley just outside of the main city square, taking a little bit of a break from helping others, in order to eat his lunch. He had fish that he'd caught and smoked earlier, and a baker had given him a fresh loaf of bread, for helping with the roofing of the bakery. Finni ate the fish first, watching the other citizens of the town mill around on their bussines for the day. The humdrum of the activity was actually quite hypnotic to the young man, and he enjoyed watching others go about their daily lives. Despite them all being humans everyone had such different lives. Finni's attention was finally grasped by two younger children who looked downtrodden, and rather hungry. Finni smiled slightly and walked over to them, offering the bred loaf to them. Rewarded by their bright smiles moments afterwards.

The guard was almost never seen by the public, hence the term "secret" guard. Yet three of them were in this downtrodden village, only seen by a few as they slipped through the shadows, their target on the young oracle who had left the castle before. Finally they found the dark haired male who was near two young impoverished children. From their vantage point they could see him give the bread to a pair of children. They waited for the two dirty things to get away from the oracle, two of the masked men watching the third who was clearly a leader. They were wearing the black robes and the animal masks of the war gods of Dra's country. The moment the children were out of sight they moved in, closing in on the young male, essentially trapping him where he was. "Finnian. You have been summoned to the castle," the head guard grumbled, his voice a deep baritone.

Finnian blinked looking between all three guards, effectively trapped where he was, not that he much minded this. A million and one reasons that he would be summoned ran through his head, but his face broke into a huge smile. "Oh, is that all? Well goodness sakes, you nearly gave me a heart attack appearing out of nowhere all intimidating like that." He smiled, soothing Sheba who stood beside him, she'd started growling, having locked on to the intimidation aura of the guards. "There's no need for the intimidation tactic boys. I will go with you willingly, and please it's Finni."
There must have been a stroke of Luck working for Finni today. Now he wouldn't have to find a way into the castle after all. He'd been invited in. Now he'd just have to convince Duncan to let him stay.

The guard didn't respond to him quite, although all three relaxed when the oracle said he'd go willingingly. One of the guards leered at the growling dog, before returning his masked gaze to Finnian. "Well. Come on then. We don't have much time," the head guard grunted, before grabbing the mans elbow and setting off at a rather rapid pace, the three keeping themselves surrounded tightly around the young man, none seeming to be happy about there not being a fight on their hands. They didn't cover Finnians head, as he'd been to the palace before so there was no point in doing so. It'd just be a waste of their time. Soon they made it to the palace, leading him towards the kings meeting room, a dimly lit area made of marble and had a few cushions for men to sit at. In the middle was a throne, but no one sat there. "Wait for the king here. He will be here shortly," the man grunted before retreating and leaving the oracle alone in the room.

Finnian looked around at this meeting room, humming softly. He wandered around the room, looking at everything. "My my. He's certainly changed the decor from my times in the castle." He smiled slightly. "I suppose that makes sense however, the kingdom has changed immensly as well."
(Sorry so short. On mobil)

Elric too had heard the rats running around and let out an irritated sigh. Well, this was the last thing they needed. Vermin. The mam adjusted his position, his whole body aching as he tried to make himself more comfortable. The dungeons in themselves would be enough to drive a person crazy, he thought, with the cold and the damp and the rats and the darkness. "It's okay, what we have is enough." Elric replied before continuing "I wonder what's happening at home. I hope Rebby doesn't miss me too much. In fact, I hope she's blissfully unaware of this whole thing." Shr wouldn't be. Rebby would most definitely have found out hat had happened by now, he imagined. He hoped she wasn't beside herself.

(Ahhh! I am sooo Happy. I woke up and the pain is all gone. That means it let loose while I was sleeping. no surgery for me.)
Finnian blinked, turning to face Duncan and blushed slightly, having not expected him to walk in at that exact moment. "Ah, your majesty. My apollogies." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I was only speaking to myself of course. You needn't worry. I simply mean that with each change of the crown, the country changes to match." He had picked up on the challenge and the unease in Duncan's stance. The oracle was very good at reading people. After all, he spent most of time around others, and his job was setting them at ease. Bringing them peace. There was no reason he couldn't read Duncan as well. He tried to think of metaphor he could use. "I think of it like redirecting a river's course when the water is needed elsewhere. If anything it is a testament to your power your majesty." He smiled "It isn't really a positive or a negative. Its just a change. It is natural. Like the tides or the seasons. Soon your rein will become the natural for this kingdom, and somewhere down the line of time if an heir takes over, after your long life, good fortune willing, it will change again. Thats all I mean." He smiled easily, having been a resident in the previous kings life, he felt it was quite easy to talk to the royalty. He was intimidated a bit, sure, but that was natural too. meaning didn't much hamper his ability to think or speak. Of course not all of the changes he was thinking of in the back of his head where positive. The previous king had been quite kind, the impoverished seemed to be multiplying since his death, and of course there was the oracle's own living arrangement, having being kicked out from the castle. But Finnian valued his life, so he wasn't going to dare bring that up.

(Thanks so much! I am soo glad and relieved that it is gone! I actually got a decent night's sleep last night. It feels so good to have all that pain gone, and faster than usual, which is nice, I don't think I could have stood that for two more days.)
