∞ 52: Patience [action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Considering what's been going on with his housemates recently (that is, Raine working herself into sickness), it should come as little surprise that Albert is out of the house. Unlike most of his other outings, he is notably astride his white horse as he travels through the village.

The horse seems to want to wander off and look at the various things in the village square. Albert tries his best to be patient with his steed's curiosity, though he did have somewhere he wanted to go.]

[The silence following Regal's question is not quite as long as the initial hesitation.]

Quite a bit. He hails from the same world as Cloud Strife and this ... Jenova creature. He's been here in Luceti for quite sometime.

I see.

[His expression darkens even further.]

Just the other day I caught him trying to attack Raine. While I do not know what led up to that attack, I do know that he wanted her dead.

[Albert frowns at this new information. He hadn't heard of this at all.]

You do not know whether Kadaj initiated contact, or the professor?

[A brief headshake.]

The conflict was already underway when I arrived.

Professor Raine has in her possession a tool that was able to cure a disease that Kadaj had spread around. That is most likely the reason why Kadaj went after her.

Yes, she told me how she was able to cure the geostigma with the aid of the unicorn horn. I would not be surprised if that was what he was after.

[The more Albert mulls over the situation, the more he finds himself annoyed with Raine's decision to not tell him what had happened.]

Thank you for your intervention, Sir Bryant. I don't know what would have happened had you not shown up.

[From the look on Albert's face, he can guess that Raine didn't mention that little incident.]

There is no need to thank me for that. I could not allow him to harm anyone, especially not a friend.
