Not cool!

Date: 14th of March
Location: Milyn's Clinic
Situation: Yuri confronts Milyn about her ties with the cultists.
Warnings/Rating: N/A

The day after Valdis made her announcement about Milyn, Yuri made his way over to her clinic. Undoubtably, only one of the unhappy Foreigners who would likely be visiting her after Valdis' findings. Lambert was with him as usual, the dog faithfully following at Yuri's heels and perhaps also coming along to make sure Yuri didn't lose his cool or something. Yuri's discontent was obvious to the canine. He came in to the clinic with a rather serious look on his face, not the typical easy going smile he usually had.

"Milyn? We need to talk," was the first thing that came out of his mouth.

"Do you want me to look at your soul gem and see if I can reverse the effect?" Milyn questioned.

[wolfstrike]

There was a pause as the possibility Milyn could do anything about it never occurred to him. He then wordlessly reached up to unclasp the jewelry from his neck and held it out to her.

Milyn accepts the soul gem and beckons Yuri to follow her down the hallway at the back of the shop, which splits into her exam room on the left and her workshop on the right. Along one wall is an alchemy station, which she sits down at and pulls a surprisingly modern looking microscope toward her, settling Yuri's gem on the slide.

"Let's see now..."

[wolfstrike]

Yuri followed Milyn quietly and Lambert followed behind him. The dog tilting his nose in the air to sniff around as the went. Yuri glanced at his companion briefly, trusting the dog would pick up anything unusual if it was there. When the healer set his gem under the microscope, Yuri watched and waited.

"Kind of reminds me of Rita's lab," he said half to himself.

[cherrywood]

"Is Rita a friend of yours?" Milyn asked pleasantly, not raising her eyes from the microscope. After another moment, she beckons Yuri closer and gestures that he should look through the scope.

"Ah, there it is. See, a tiny little mark... and injection puncture, specifically. See how neat and tidy it is? That's why you didn't notice it before."

[wolfstrike]

"Yeah, she is."

It's an almost wistful sound. Yuri wouldn't say it out loud but he misses his friends terribly. Having them around might even be worth being on the receiving end of Rita's fireballs.

He then leans over to look in the microscope, blinking in surprise before leaning back.

"So they put something in it?"

[cherrywood]

Milyn notes the tone, smiling to herself. "That's right," she agreed. "There are certain compounds which interact with types of energy! What were your symptoms again?"

[wolfstrike]

"Dove called it Vertigo. Made me really dizzy, to the point it was hard to keep things down."

Yuri has definitely lost that edge to his voice.

[cherrywood]

"Oh yes, that would be the rinuniz! Well, good news, it can be neutralized with an extract of distilled cinit root, I'm sure I have some here..."

She gets up from her seat and goes poking through the dozens of cabinets and drawers in the workshop room. "I'll just inject a bit inside, and it should clear you up in a week or two."

[wolfstrike]

"Huh? Really?" Yuri looked dumbfounded as he watched her get up to retrieve the stuff. All this time and it had been a simple fix?

"But how do you know that'll work? What was put in it?"
