[Well, that's not something he's expecting to see. Cheriour blinks at the message, dumbfounded, before quickly moving to reply. If this person knows, then it could be important.]

Really?? What does it mean?

[gleamstone]

23. do you consider yourself loyal?

[ He's not going to get any answers from her, unfortunately. ]

[clockingout]

[...Okay??? This is strange. No answers, just a question. A rather personal question.]

Yes, I believe I am very loyal.

What does 23 mean?

[gleamstone]

[ Personal is the best way of getting someone's attention. (That said, Lessia still has no idea what she's doing.) ]

patience, 23. if you are truly loyal, you will know in time.

[ Now for another pause. Really, Lessia half-expects to be struck dead any second now. ]

remember this. andra and thildra are your enemies.

[ Thank Sierbel that the stranger can't hear her heartbeat (or so she thinks). At its current rate, she could run around the school twice and still have energy to spare. ]

[What in the world? What are these names? Is he 23? But isn't everyone else 23? HE'S SO CONFUSED.]

What? Who are they? Who are you? Please answer me!

[gleamstone]

[ ... Well, she hasn't been struck dead yet. Maybe she really is under Sierbel's protection, after all. ]

your enemies, 23. they seek to keep you here.

i'm not safe, 23. [ She can't tell you who she is. ]

but you can be.

[clockingout]

My enemies??

Who are you? Tell me who you are and I can keep you safe! I would rather not be safe if it meant that you were safe from harm.

[gleamstone]

do you wish to leave this place, 23?

[ Sorry, stranger, you're playing right into her hands here. ]

time is running out.
