(Sophos snuggles against Ezmel, loving him. He is warm. He loves being with him. He feels safe in his arms. He sighs happily and closes his eyes)

*Sophos falls asleep in Ezmel's arms. He is very content*

Sophos: hmmm? oh...
*He puts on his pants and sits on the bed. He rubs his still healing chest. It is sore.*

Sophos: I wonder who the are...
*He coughs a bit. His chest kinda hurts. It's a bit swollen*

Sophos: I'll come.
*he shuffles along with them. He takes careful steps, so he won't stumble*
[brb, shower]

(Sophos holds his chest. It is getting harder for him to breath. He straightens up, though. His silver beating heart exposed for all to see. His hair is a bit brighter and so is his eyes. The sunlight helped him a bit... He wishes he had is jacket, but he knows he can't wear that now.)

(Sophos staggers. His mind fades... Silver blood leaks from his mouth and spills on the floor. He tries to brace himself against the walls, but he is too weak... he smears blood on the wall. His vision becomes hazy. He stares at the blood pooling from him. His heart is having trouble...)
Sophos: unnnn..... *something in sage language* ....I... ack... help.... me....
*His eyes go blank and he falls to the floor. His mind is barely there. Blood still oozes from him, thick and goopy*

(Sophos' mind returns he gasps...)
Sophos: Gaah!
*he pulls and scratches at his heart.*
Sophos: It hurts! It burns! MY HEART IS ON FIRE!
*he attempts to draw a sigil with his own blood, but his mind fades out again, he smears the sigil. His mind returns again, but very weak. He reaches for the sigil, but his is so weak, his arm just falls. He lies gasping, holding his inflamed heart*
Sophos: Priam! H-help...!

(Priam shows up behind them. The giant Sage sweeps past them and crouches next to Sophos. Logos is also there, since he is under Priam's care.)
Priam: "I told you not to go outside. Your heart couldn't take it and now your blood-pressure is through the roof! You fool."
*he sticks Sophos with a needle with medicine. His heart stops beating, and the bleeding stops.*
Priam: "It'll start back up when it is good and ready. Now you must heal your new heart. You'll live."
*Sophos' blood vaporizes away*
Logos: "Cousin?"
Sophos: nnngh....... unnnn.....
*his mind is still faint*

Sophos: Haaahh.... no, the blamenis mine. I wished to go to the balcony. urrrgghhh... I just keep getting hurt, now don't I? Heck, I acually DIED here!
Logos: "You'll make it. I know you will." ouo *holds his hand*
Sophos: ahhh... I kinda hope so... I was lonely when I was dead... heh...
Priam: "Logos and I will stay. I don't want anything else happening to you. You are far to fragile."
Sophos: ...yeah... *gives a weak smile*
