"No no no it's okay, I have something to do with this these are because of those damned crystals in his arms giving him nightmares and hallucinations but I can deal with it, I don't want to potentially hurt him or freak him out even more I've seen the way he behaves around large groups and he is not open to them, that may just serve to make him even more agitated." *I would looking in the eyes making sure he was staring directly at me, before casting what was the equivalent to an eighth level dispel magic centered around him and the crystals in his arms, hoping to nullify whatever illusions were being shot into his brain and causing him such distress while he rested.*
Jim
*Looks at them confused and scared as he lets bylins hold his hands he didn't even feel bylin holding his hands and arms quite frankly he was out of it as bylin began to cast his spell it wouldn't do anything to stop his distress this wasn't a direct result of the crystal it was it's side effects that means the damage to his psyche was already done this was uncharted waters for bylin this would be good practice for whenever there nation goes to war they can use this case to study soldiers with PTSD and how to help find the best recovery strategy.*
Kathleen
`"I don't think it's working perhaps use a high tier calming spell so his emotional state becomes less overwhelmed?"` *She asked bylin it was a good solution a calm mind leads to clearer thinking even if it's broken at least it will bring the afflicted to better state then they currently in she watched the boy in his freaked out state with pity* `"Ok it'll just be me and you I won't call the guard what do you want me to do my king?"` *Asking for guidance.*
Stephanie
*Thinking about how this experience could be used for the future if we ever had to go to war, deciding instead of dispel magic to cast a high tier calm emotions spell, trying to see what kind of effect that had as my spellbook and an enchanted quill flew out of my coat and began to jot down this information to see the effect that calm emotions had.* "You're right I had assumed that it was a magical effect but it wasn't, I'll see how this goes then."
Jim
*As he casted a calming spell it forced his emotions to calm down rapidly suppressing the overwhelming emotions bylin would slowly see his breaths calm down and his vision begining to focus on bylins the voices also became quieter in his head as he now hear bylin more clearly and everything was slowly coming back but not fully* `"Am I going to be locked in a cell? Where am I?"` *He asked weakly and softly he would be easier to talk to now and to bring out of his state of agitation and split mind.*
Stephanie
"Like I was trying to tell you before no one's going to put you in a cell, no one's going to lock you away no one's here to hurt you, I think you were having a traumatic episode." *I would continue holding his wrists, making sure not to hurt him or show any sort of hostility, just trying to keep him calm as I grab the bowl of stew and begin heating it up using magic as well.*
Jim
*Slowly began to come out of his psychosis and closes his eyes tiredly his eyes were sunken in and looked tired he could sleep another couple hours if he could once he opened his eyes again he was back in reality a warm room with warm new clothes and linen bed sheets and pillows the soft dim candle dancing in the corners of the room* `"Your back...?"` *He asked sort of confused not expecting bylin to be there and he saw the maid* `"When did you come in..? I didn't see you...?"` *He asked feeling his hands gently being held in bylins claws the smell of stew filling the room as it began to heat up his stomach growled slightly to the smell of it he rested his head into the pillow quietly*
Kathleen
`"You were just going through an episode it's ok young one we are here for you no cell involved you had a nightmare of sorts."` *Which was true just she didn't know how to exactly classify it she saw bylin taking notes and smiles she would ask him about the notes later* `"Is he looking alright or better now?"` *She wanted to learn from bylin and know if it was ok to get closer to help where she could*
Stephanie
"I was able to get rid of his fever so I can definitely say he's feeling better now, but we will need to find a way to temper these PTSD driven episodes, me her and my dear husband are just here to help we're here to help you feel better and the first step to helping you feeling better is getting something in your belly." 

*I would grab the spoon from off the counter as well having to finally pull away from his wrists hoping that I gave him enough comfort, getting a large spoonful of nice warm stew and bringing it up to his lips.*
Jim
*Spoke softly and weakly as he tilted his head to the side a bit he couldn't move his arms he barely could* `"It's hard to move how will I eat?"` *He asked them saw the food being brought to him it confused him for a second but then he understood what was happening.* `"What do you mean ptsd episodes? What happened...?"` *He was very confused but his weak voice struggled to speak as he felt bue for wrists release he looked at bylin slightly as he opened his mouth closing his eyes quietly as he ate the food as it was poured in it would granted take him time to finish one bit but it was fine he thought he was embarssed slightly that he couldn't feed himself a small hint of red appeared on his soft pale cheeks from feeling helpless like this.*
Stephanie
"You are panicking you weren't exactly flailing around in bed but you were shouting and clearly sounded like you weren't all the way here but try not to worry about that too much just continue to eat." *I would keep feeding in the stew every time he was needing to take a bite, still being very patient with him.*
Kathleen
`"Yes king bylin is correct but don't worry to much about it ok? Just focus on eating when your feeling a little bit stronger we can begin your strength recovery with basic exercises."` *She smiles softly they're goal after all was full rehabilitation only tricky thing was his mental state.*
Jim
*He would remain quiet he didn't understand quite yet what exactly they meant so once he finished the meal he sighs softly and speaks weakly* `"Is your husband still upset?"` *He asked bylin softly then spoke to umbra* `"Strength recovery I'm confused why?"` *He asked softly as he looked at her then bylin his voice still very low* `"It's very quiet in here compared to outside your home how big is your kingdom?"` *He asked softly curious* `"I hope me being here isn't to much trouble."` *He said with a frown.*
Stephanie
"I think our dear maid / knight lady umbra was able to give him some comfort about him having hurt you yesterday, but as for the strength recovery it is clear you have quite a bit of muscle atrophy after being in the cold of the mountains for as long as you've been, and it's clear your mental state is very temperamental at the moment considering the PTSD field episode that was just had, so we need to work on that as well, and also finally I assure you you being here causes no issues this is why me and my husband made this Kingdom in the first place so that we may help people who need our assistance the most and our kingdom is quite big considering the fact that this is a tavern that we turned into our home the castle is still being rebuilt." *I would put down the bowl of stew, before walking over to a little side window and opening it up giving him a clear view of the castle and quite a few of the citizens going about their daily lives, happiness and joy being spread across every street corner.*
Kathleen
`"Oh I think king bylin does have a few more questions for you regarding your captivity with the bandits escape and other things?"` *She would look to bylin as he opened the window the light sunny light of the night sky of the cavern was real as the night sky above, it gave them sun, it gave them, rain it can even give them storms and snow how this worked is absolutely unknown however it was just as if they were outside but underground.* `"I do have some concerns king bylin what if he has an episode in the middle of our kingdom suppose he went to the market and just snapped? We need some kind of failsafe for him and our citizens."`
Jim
`'Im happy he's doing better. What is muscle atrophy..?"` *He never heard that term before as he said the nation was made for people of all kinds of the like and to help those who need assistance he turns his head to the window and felt warmth of the sun? But weren't they underground the sunlight crept through the window a bit and he rose his hand it blinded him a bit hearing all the sounds of joy and happiness and seeing citizens going about there lives he closed his eyes as his crystals pulsated and his senses where involuntarily heightened he rose his hand out and turned his head away wincing* `"It hurts can you please close the window."` *All the joy laughter and talking any noise outside the king was amplified like a hammer hitting an anvil inside his head it made his brain hurt it was to stimulating the quietness of the room was the only thing keeping him from being overstimulated.*
Stephanie
*He would close the window before moving back to sitting on the bed, holding his hand to hopefully give him some comfort.* "That's what I'm thinking as well I'm convinced that he might need to be supervised for the first couple of months of him being here so that nothing like this happens again, but the main question I have for you at the moment is who put these crystals into your arms and would it be possible to either get them out or find a way to make these more comfortable for you?"
Jim
*Felt his hand taken and it slowly calmed him down he would lower his hand to the bed and takes a soft breath before speaking* `"The crystals"` *He tried to remember as he closed his eyes then opened them looking at the crystals that were imbued into his forearms and his breaths started to rise and fall a bit faster as he saw flashes of when they were being put into his skin.* `"I was in the bandit cell a wizard a mage someone paid the bandits to conduct an experiment on someone who meant nothing I was already in a bandit camp so my life didn't matter he paid them and they restrained me to a steel table everything is blurry from there I just know it was very painful I don't know much about it"` *He said softly he didn't know most of what happened it was all blurry a far away image however it was torture his skin was removed in sections along her forearm sometimes skinned and muscle and flesh separated so the crystals could set properly before the skin was placed back on and one could imagine this over the course of weeks it would have been hell. He didn't remember though* `"Then one day I woke up and I had them on my arms and it and it took a few months to heal they occasionally dig into my flesh and it hurts a lot."` *He said softly* `"It will take a couple months of me being here?"`
Kathleen
`"I have an idea for the young guest, perhaps we can find something to cover his ears and quiet down most the noise ok the outside or make something with magic to suppress outside stimuli he could wear on his head and ears."` *Noise canceling headphones basically but they don't exist and it was never made before fantasy times so she was throwing ideas and thinking about how magic would help with it she saw his fear as he talked about the bandit camp and a strange mage* `"I think we can use cloth wraps and healing paste and wrap his forearms in them it'll numb the pain and heal any cuts or scrapes they cause but will need to be changed every few days. What exactly happened in the bandit camp? How did you end up there? What were you subject to? What about your life before the bandit camp?"` *It was a lot of questions he may not be able to keep up*
Stephanie
"That is a good short-term idea for how to numb the pain of those crystals grinding against his bones, however we may need to find a means to actually remove them from his arm without harming him which I don't think is readily possible but I'll continue looking into it, mayhaps I could put an anti-magic field around just his arms and then numb his arms before taking them out." *I would put my other hand up to my chin trying to scratch it as I began to think.*

"Also you don't mean nothing but I do want to help you and take those crystals out of your arms as they seem to be causing you much pain, but considering an illusion that those crystals showed me when I tried interacting with them I have a feeling we may need to bring them outside of the Kingdom before we do so, but if it would help you I'm sure I could make you something along the lines of a stimuli muffling apparatus that you could wear around your head to shut off most sounds and sights so you're not overstimulated?"
Jim
*Listened to them both talk and thought about it for a few moments he would like something to tune out all the noises that will set him off the rails and be nearly incapacitated* `"The crystals I feel as if they are living like they are apart of me that it's a symbiotic relationship I need them and they need me it protected me a lot and saved me a couple time's as long as it has mana energy stored up. If I use it's power to much or strain to much I pass out or have nose bleeds and get nauseous."` *He didn't understand that the crystals could also make him insane it had already damaged his mental state plus the torture he endured didn't help either.* 

`"They cause illusions? Or hallucinations I heard people and seen people start attacking each other when I was close to being killed before I didn't think it was a direct result of the crystals..."` *That would make alot of sense now to him* `"It's mainly the noises I can stand with seeing everything but the hearing is to much to much noises hurts me."` *He says softly and weakly his voice getting lower. His eyes looked up to see umbra and listen to her questions he looked uncomfortable and looked away he didn't want to answer her questions the more he remembered what happened the less he was and would be willing to talk* `"I don't want to talk about it if I don't have to."` *He says quietly looking away from them*
Stephanie
"Okay you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, some questions I'm going to be honest, but for now if you could I need to ask if you can get out of bed and take a couple steps for me if you can't I'll help you along but I just want to see if you can move." *I would get up from the bed and walk over to the side that he was on, holding out my hand in case he needed something to grab on to to help him walk, I wanted to see if he was capable of motion without needing help and if he did need help to figure out what kind of help he needed.*

"I understand how you feel about the crystals as I imagine they've kept you quite safe around other people usually, but I do have to be honest if you will allow me at some point I may need to go through a little experiment of my own where I can numb your arm and try taking out one of those crystals so that I can see how I can make counter measures around the clearly negative effects they seem to be having on your body.*
Jim
*Nods slowly he knows he can't avoid some questions but it'll be fine for now he thought* `"Ok I'll try."` *He slowly moves but he had little strength he moves off the blanket with some struggle and reached out to grab bylins claw he would feel little strength from the boy as he got off the bed he tried to stand up but would fall to his knees almost instantly* `"If they are to bad for me I don't know what to do."` *He says softly but he understood that taking one out would be great to understanding what they are how deep in his skin they go he struggles to stand as he gets back up with some struggle* `"I'm sorry it's difficult. I don't know why I was able to move before but now it's so hard."`
Stephanie
"It's because your muscles haven't had time to catch up to you until now, you actually had a chance to relax your muscles now that you're no longer under threat so they're taking their time to heal, that's what muscle atrophy is." *I would scoop them up off the ground and pick him up in a little bit of a princess Carry, bringing him back to the bed and laying him down.* "It's okay your muscles just need to regain their strength after all of the strain you've been through so give it time but you are going to need to have to get up every now and again to try and move just to make sure it doesn't get worse."
Jim
*Pants softly as he struggled to stand up leaning on bylins for support until he felt himself being lifted ho and being brought back to the bed as he was layed down he pants softly looking at bylin with a soft expression and embarssed he couldn't stand on his own but now he knew what bylin meant* `"Alright I'll try to get up and move when I can I don't want to be a bother to either of you I feel like a burden to you I was always in a cell most of them time I don't know what it's like to be around people that aren't evil."` *He smiles softly at bylin.*
Kathleen
`"There is no need to be embarssed everyone needs help sometimes"` *She smiles softly as she walked to the chair and sat down on it, it was right beside the bed she brought out the wraps and had gotten healing paste while bylin was talking with him* `"I got his right arm can you get his left?"` *She asked softly*
Stephanie
"You won't find any evil people around here usually that's what happens when some people come into power but I've always found that a pretty stupid philosophy to have, I much rather prefer being a kind King." *I would grab half the wraps and healing paste, turning my claws into normal hands as I make sure to put majority of the healing paste over the spots with the crystals, and slowly and gently wrapping the bandages around, making sure they were tight enough not to come loose but not so tight that the crystals keep grinding against him every time he tried to move.*
Jim
*Winces as his arms were lifted he was surprised that bylin had turned his claws to human hands feeling the cool paste being applied to his crystals and skin it almost instantly helped the pain as it would get into every crevice it felt like soothing cool breeze on a burning itch it felt heavenly it made him shuttered and sigh of relief with a staggered breath* `"How can two people run a kingdom...? I thought a kingdom needed multiple lords and ladies to function? What about law who enforces something that is not good for the kingdom who decides that person's fate?"` *He asked softly wincing as umbra began to apply the paste to his right arm before the relief hit.*
Kathleen
*Gently took the paste in her fingers and smeared it across his forearm gently with a smile as she rubbed it into his crystals getting every inch of it all around she used a towel and began to dry her hands of the past then got white cloth bandages and began to wrap his arm from his wrist up his forearm to where the paste and crystals stop doing the same thing bylin did not to tight not to loose.* `"That should do it."`
Stephanie
"The only reason for there to be multiple leaders in a kingdom more than one or two is because usually the king and queen and there are two incompetent to deal with it by themselves or they just one more people in power to drive their point, me and my husband are like that we care for our people we make sure that they have everything they need and can get more if they need it, and if you want to you can join our kingdom?" 

*I would smile seeing that the paste was making him feel a whole lot better now that he didn't have those crystals pinching at him constantly.* "I can tell that feels a lot better every few days or so we can continue doing that, especially if it helps with the trauma of having those put in."
Jim
`"I understand I was more curious about um how everything worked."` *He smiles weakly, as bylin asked him if he wanted to join there kingdom he didn't reply he only just met them even though they were helping him he needed to know more* `"I don't know I only just arrived."` *Once his arms were fully bandaged and the bandages were tied he moved his hand into a fist and let it go slowly it no longer hurt little to no discomfort. It brought him to nearly tears as he took a deep breath as tears welled in his eyes* `"I don't remember much maybe I blacked out a lot during the process of when they put them in."` *He said as he sniffles a bit looking away ashamed of his tears that were welling in his eyes*
Stephanie
"No need to feel ashamed because you're crying, I can understand how much you are hurting with those crystals implanted into your arms there's no need to feel lesser than, and of course once I get this little magical apparatus set up and put together I'll give you a tour around the kingdom." *I would turn his face towards me wiping his tears with my other hand, giving him a kind almost fatherly smile, letting him know that he is free to express his emotions and he won't be judged for them.*
Jim
*He feels bylins claw gently bush against his cheek and wipe the tears away* `"I would like to see the kingdom if Im able to."` *He felt his head turned to bylin seeing the dragons smile he sighed a bit and then looked at him his different colored eyes looking at bylin then umbra* `"I can't use any magic at all I can feel it but I can't cast anything."` *He looked slightly worried.*
Kathleen
`"How would the hearing apparatus work? Do you have any idea in mind my king? Also i would like to know more of his history before just integrating him into the kingdom or giving a tour we need to know the extent of how much his/your mental health akiya is damaged."` *She bows to show respect*
Teresa
*Came to the door and gentle knocked on the door rubbing his eye tiredly looking down as he sighs tiredly his fluffy ruffled tail swishing on the ground and his hair was a mess from sleeping he wanted to talk to bylin he was bare naked to be fair it was there house he just forgot about the guest as his mind was in dream land.*
Stephanie
"Of course but it's not really going to be an interrogation it'll be more of a therapy session in my opinion, it's probably better that you talk about it then keeping it bottled up it helps you work through your trauma." 

*I would hear the knock on the door, assuming it was my sweet little wolf and not knowing that he was completely naked I would turn around and tell him to come in.* "Come in honey our guest just woke up and he's feeling a lot better~"
Jim
`"Just not right now if that's ok?"` *He asked as he looked up at them then hearing a gentle knock on the door he looked confused and then towards the door seeing the wolf king enter he was fully naked he saw his body and he looked away with a soft blush* `"Um... He is naked?"`
Kathleen
*Sat with her hands Infront of her lap as she turned to eirias naked she looked away with a slight red face as she didn't expect the king to be bare* `"My king it appears that you are lacking in the clothing department."`
Teresa
*Had entered the room and walked over to bylin taking his hand and trying to drag him away to bed as he wanted to cuddle beside him he would pull on bylins claw tiredly until he heard the words that he was naked his face woke up a bit and then turned beat red as he backed out the room slowly embarssed covering himself*
Stephanie
*Looking back at my dear husband and seeing him Stark naked for like the 50th time since we've known each other, it wouldn't exactly cause a reaction but everyone in the room could see me stifling a laugh as he tried sleepily pulling me back to bed, at this suit is the look of embarrassment went over his face I couldn't exactly hold it back anymore and I would just start laughing, busted out laughing for a solid 7 minutes still enjoying the site however before wiping the tears from my eyes turning my hands back to claws and walking towards the door.* "I got it, I'll I'll deal with this, it's okay honey let's get you some clothes and we'll head back to bed later~"
Teresa
*Was outside the door with his tail covering his parts and his paws with it he looked at bylin tiredly* `"Why did you let me enter the room!"` *He asked as he heard bylins laughter his face was beat red with embarrassment he walked to there room to get some clothes and to fall back asleep if he could now*
Stephanie
*That smile would still be very much plastered on my face, waving goodbye to the two of them for now as I head back to our room and close the door behind me letting you put some clothes on.* "First of all honey I didn't know you were going to come in the room, second of all I didn't know you were going to come in butt ass naked although I enjoyed the site so you must have forgive me for laughing."
Jim
*Face was red as bylin left he took a soft exhale and looked to umbra who was flustered as well he spoke softly* `"Is everything alright?"` *He asked her with a weak voice*
Kathleen
`"Oh everything is ok no worries I just wasn't expecting that is all don't worry to much about it ok? Just gotta get your strength back to normal and you'll be fine and make sure you don't have an episode again."` *She nods as she gently checked his forearm bandages lifting his arm and inspecting them they were fine so she set his arm back down.* `"Just try and get more sleep for now ok?"` *She bowed he head*
Teresa
*Scoffs at bylin and sighs as he looks up at him his fluffy ears folding back as he holds his tail between his legs* `"It's not funny I already hurt the guest now he seen me naked! What king I am."` *He sighs as he looks up at bylin with sad puppy eyes as he walked into there bedroom and closed the door going to the bed to sit down.*
Stephanie
*As soon as he said that his demeanor would immediately shift to being serious, as he walked over and sat next to him on the bed, wrapping his wing around him and pulling in close.* "Honey it shouldn't have to be a question of whether or not you're a good king, cuz I know you're a great king and to be honest with you you can't have expected to have gotten through this without making some mistakes along the way, I mean look at me for how good you constantly say I am I'm not perfect."
