Arcaeus felt himself come back to consciousness. He heard someone say "Hi sleepy head. How are you feeling?" It sounded vaguely like Janelle. He started to open his eyes, but it was very bright. He winced and kept them closed. "Hey you" he said, his voice harsh and gravely. "Where are we?" He tried to sit up, groaned in pain and Janelle pushed him back down. " I don't think it would be a good get right now," she said in a laughing but serious tone, "We're in the tavern in Moesbe, where you said to meet, remember?" It came back to him. The cuddling, the twig, forcing Janelle to leave him. The fight and the subsequent flight in-to and out-of the forest. He remembered getting to Moesbe and entering the tavern, but not anything after that. "Oh yeah, now I do." he said. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at Janelle. "Well you look pretty worn out. Been staying up late watching over little ol' me?" he asked teasingly, smiling. "How long have I been out?" he asked, once again wincing. "Almost two days now." she said, dabbing a damp washcloth on his forehead. "How are you feeling?" "Pretty terrible. I'm sore pretty much everywhere and my left arm hurts like hell. But only two days? It usually takes longer than this for me to heal." he responded, sighing as she moved the washcloth down to his chest and rubbed it on him. "I kind of um.. sped it along, a little bit." she said slightly hesitant and looking modest. She looked down and absentmindedly rubbed the cloth over his abs. "Sped it along how?" Arcaeus asked. " I don't have the best healing abilities but I've been working on them." she said. Arcaeus thought that she looked a little proud. Janelle asked, "So are you going to explain what happened back there? Who were those people?" She sounded confused with a hint of worry in her voice. Arcaeus closed his eyes and decided exactly what he was going to tell her.<br/><br/>"They are The Holy Brotherhood. They hunt demons and members of The Xathalamaeum, who worship demons. When I met my contact, he told me that they have been gaining strength and support, and were becoming more active. They recently killed one of my friends. They must have had agents here in the city and tracked me back to my home. I'm surprised that it took them two days to find us there. Then again, we did leave rather unexpectantly." Janelle interrupted him with a question. " How did they just now find your home if you had been living there that long." she asked. Arcaeus responded with," Well I haven't been to any city or anything in about 50 years. So they might have know that I was operating in this general area, but until we came to Moesbe, they had no way of knowing exactly where I was. What I don't know is how they have been tracking us down. It really makes no sense. They must have some sort of artifact or something. Now do you have any other questions?' he asked her. She said  "No" and went to re-dampen the washcloth. While she was gone, Arcaeus fell back asleep.
