Scene #1147: Magical Checkup Time

Owner	Pose
Iianor	As usual, when you enter the painting, there's that odd sensation of stepping through a wall made of jello, followed by the sensation of going on journey through lush forests, grassy fields, past rivers, through gardens and then... ...Out to here. In the center of the garden, near the well sits a shape made of flickering emerald light surrounded by a number of serpentine shapes, each made of water and sliding through the air in an odd sort of pattern. A few moments after you arrive, the emerald light shifts and solidifies down into the form of Iianor, "Ahh... Guests..." His eyes turn in your direction, and a soft smile crosses his lips, "Welcome."
Emiya Shirou	Shirou WAS gonna be heading to Dun Realtai, but hearing aout Maya's condition and with Iianor finally coming out of hiding, he did float the idea of having a look at things. He's come into the painting very often. Several times a week. Both to recharge up to his full capacity (a feat he can't manage on his own) and practice his Projection. If Iianor's checked the provided workshop, sometimes it's just been left full of swords. There's nowhere to walk. And in the painting? They tend to last for days, not minutes. But now he's here again. Shirou's dressed in blue jeans, and a jacket covering his shirt. Completely ordinary shoes for walking the streets. Quite different from the attire of the Realtai'ans! And -- "whaahuh?!" Getting YOINKED through space and back to the garden without actually walking, but somehow ending up there leaves him blinking disorientedly for a moment. The redheaded spellcaster shakes his head to clear it, then smiles Iianor's way! "Yo, Iianor. It's been a while. You must'be been working really hard on SOMETHING." A pleasant tone from a friendly young man... but one who's worried about Maya.
Iianor	Iianor continues to smile softly, before he reaches up to lightly touch the chin of one of the water-serpents. "We were speaking of how the water sings..." His expression is slightly bemused, like he's not completely present, "And I wasn't really..." He pauses, and his eyes seem to focus after a long moment, "Forgive me." Iianor takes a deep breath, before he smiles at the pair of them, "It can take a few moments to reconstitute all of myself." The watery serpent gets a soft smile as it wraps itself around his arm, then curls around his chest, before peeking up over his shoulder at Maya and Shirou, "Well... It has been awhile hasn't it?" He shakes his head, "I warned you that time isn't something that's easy for me to keep track of anymore, didn't I?" He chuckles, and then looks at Maya before he frowns for a moment, his features taking an expression of surprise and concern, "Something isn't... Maya, what happened?"
Emiya Shirou	Shirou's forced to just nod. The archmage's quirks are weird as it gets by his book, buut he's gotten used to weird for good causes. Shirou does get a look at Maya though, and her odd tattoos... oh well, nothing to comment about for him. Just something to make a quiet querlous noise about under his breath. "Anyone would lose track of time in this place." The magus points out, still showing a friendly smile... but it fades when Maya explains everything. "... The Knights got you?! Signum, Shamal, one of those guardians?!" he seems to at least be familiar with 'em....
Maya	Maya looks to Iianor for a moment as she tilts her head a little bit. "It has and what happened? I was responding to an attack from the Mairrage and I was attacked from behind by one of the knights I think? They put hteir hand thorugh me doing no physical damage but the agony was beyond anything short of the touch of Gemma's blade... and my magic was gone in it's wake."
Iianor	Iianor frowns slightly, "They disabled your connection to magic, or they damaged you spirtually?" His eyes close for a moment as he considers, "And I'm not at all familliar with whom you're talking about. If you could expand on that a little, I would like to get some information about them before we..." A pause, "Continue farther."
Emiya Shirou	"Right. The Book of Darkness is some kind of artifact meant to collect magical knowledge and energy. It has four spirit guardians similar to Servants who're supposed to protect it and whoever its master is. But the book got damaged at some point and began collecting magic out of people. If the knights don't fill up the book it'll kill the Master... or so I was told. They said something about it being temporary on the broadband though..." He scratches the back of his head VERY uncertainly...
Maya	Shirou is able to fill things in short older nd she nods slightly. "That's about teh sum of it but I have no idea I just... it's like I lost a sense. I don't know if it's spirital damage or just what it is to be honest."
Iianor	Iianor frowns slightly as his eyes open and he gazes at Maya for another long moment, "Then was the book was trying to repair itself using the magic of others?" A pause, "Or is it trying to execute half a command in a program..." He considers for another long moment, before he reaches up and lightly strokes the water-serpent's chin. "There are several likely points... First: You may simply be so empty of magic at the moment that your body is refusing to let you use it, until you're full again." He smiles slightly, "It could also have temporarily relocated your center, which of course would make it easier for it to feed on the source of your magic... ...And make it harder for you to touch that part of yourself, where magic springs from. It will right itself in time." His eyes close, "A swift examination should tell me whether or not it's either of those two... ...if you consent of course?"
Maya	Maya listnes and things about it, for being what she is she does not have the best grasp of the higher more finer points of magic. It was after all a reflex to her like breathing tht she could will it and it happened. Perhaps this is a flaw but not one she'll likely get over any time soon. She just nods and listens onwayrs "Go ahead I trust you as ever Iianor."
Emiya Shirou	"I really don't know, to be honest. I'm lucky they didn't go after mine... if you can help her that's more than great, iianor!" Shirou's counting on him, really! Or hoping, anyways. He's in his own misery right now. But trying not to show it.
Iianor	Iianor steps forward... Or rather, Iianor seems to step forward, and he emerges in front of Maya and Shirou, "This ... Will probably not hurt at all." Reaching forward with his left hand, he places it palm first on her forehead and considers for a moment, before his hand flickers over into streamers of emerald light, wraps around her briefly and then flows through the center of her chest for a moment... Before he's sitting sitting over on the edge of the pool again, "Well. I've refilled your body with energy again... ...Do you feel more on balance?"
Maya	Maya holds till and still braces her self as he touches her ofrhead and he does his thing. Maya takes a moment as she start to think for a moment she feels something differn she might have been recovering on her own but iianor is kiunda kicking in the pants the monster garaging it pretty much ans she lets out a gaqsp as he finishes up shaking her head a little bit.
Emiya Shirou	Shirou can't really feel anything, so he ends up frowning during the whole procedure. "... Not a thing?" he'd be even less good at this, so what can he say? "I wonder what they did... I barely understand my own world's magic, Maya. Sorry."
Iianor	Iianor frowns slightly before he nods, "So much for the easiest answer..." He shakes his head for a moment, "This... ...Close your eyes, and relax. Try and find your center. Concentrate on what makes you yourself and seek that within your mind... I will... See if I can find where the source of your magic should flow from..." He glances at Shirou for a moment, "You would consider it like trying to find your basic element, and of course your magic circuts."
Emiya Shirou	Shirou snorts bemusedly. "Iianor. I didn't find my element until someone was about to stab me, and half my body went numb for half a week after that!" Not helping, Shirou. Not helping. But he turns oncerned eyes towards the proceedings now... praying this helps her.
Maya	Maya nods thinks for a moment she seems ot be making an effor here but she does her best to clear her mind she does reach out as it were her eyes re closed and it's clear something is going on. It should be possible for Iianor to find the source of it it's there it's been recovering but Maya's had trouble finding it due to the nature of the taruma she suffered over it. Still it's seeming to be almost there.
Iianor	Shirou is given an amused glance, "But after you knew about it, and after you found it, it was much easier to deal with." One of the water-elemental-serpents suddenly slides forward in the air, and gazes at Shirou for a long moment, before it tries to wrap itself around his upper torso, and rest it's head on his shoulder... ...Sort of like one of the other ones is doing to Iianor. "Mmm... Yes..." He gazes at Maya, "You're out of joint. Metaphysically speaking at least." His eyes close, "I Think we can fix this directly. Or..." He tilts his head, "You can recover naturally."
Emiya Shirou	The sudden 'assault' by Water elemental takes Shirou by surprise. he squirms a bit to see what the creature's doing, but relaxes soon enough... even tries to pat the thing in a friendly manner. that calms him down pretty fast. "So... she's... dislocated an arm, basically?"
Maya	Maya looks to Iianor and litens thinking for a moment and she humms at his offer and she says "Lives might depend on me being recovered sooner rather than later so then do what you have to do and ... that makes a lot of sense I guess if others have recovered or a bit I thought I was... worse than dead." in her people's view seriously this isn't cool for someone formher world.
Iianor	The creature partially wrapped around Shirou radiates a gentle sense of happiness and contentment as Shirou sort of pets it. "It seems that water elementals like you Shirou." He chuckles softly, and refocuses his eyes back on Maya. He gazes at her quietly for a moment before he nods. "As you will. Be ... gentle with your powers for a time, and go back to your world for a short time if you can..." He smiles slightly, "Concentrate on your center again and..." He gestures, and green fire gathers around her, arcing across her body for a moment, before it sinks inside, and there's a sort of a tugging sensation... ...As it tries to bring things back into place, and soothe the internal trauma.
Emiya Shirou	Shirou can't help but feel that Sakura would love it here. Such amazing creatures and great sights. He's sure she'd appreciate it! Well, almost anyone would. But he misses his home... and is happy enough to stroke the creature, once it seems to enjoy the treatment anyways! "Don't do anything that'll make real harm... well, I trust Iianor with that. I really owe you a lot. Getting to this point without any help might've taken ages." And he's still not even that good.
Maya	Maya gets an idea of wht happens and she'll let Iianor work she wont' fight him and she holds still and she listens thinking go home? That's something she can do. She focuses upon iianor's rodsa and then upon the center as the gren fire works over he and somehing happen something seems to be back in order and she feels a connection again and the world feel weak but right...
