[And then, Humility's breath caught in her throat again as her chest pains started up.]

...Ow...

- Lady Humility - Oh, no!

[Gretchen said, and then quickly pulled Humility away from the baths, and found her a bench to sit on. She then went over to some of the racks, and wrapped a soft pink bathrobe around her, looking worried indeed.]

...Oh, Lady Humility...Does it still hurt? It must have been all the excitement - I'm so sorry!

[Humility, in the meanwhile, had managed to get her breath.]

- I'm all right now, Miss Gretchen, and please don't apoligize...

[And then, she smiled at Gretchen, and took her hand.]

You didn't do anything wrong, all right?

[And in the meanwhile, inside Humility's mind - Homura groaned. Darn all this! If only she had enough magic right now, she could fix Humility's heart in less then an hour!)

(...My non-existant Kingdom for some actually useful magic, seriously.)

[She groused, misquoting Shakespere on purpose - Aand that was when a cream furred critter with red-amber eyes slowly blinked as it sat on one of the gazebos.]

[Oh, yes, here in came, that strange little burst of magic again. Eight smiled a bit, and licked his paw. This was interesting indeed!]
