Merri/Darius | after "The Secret Life of Flan" | G?
Merri sat where Darius directed and obediently took in a few deep breaths as instructed. Already, he felt his nerves begin to calm, though his worries were not yet placated. He took a few moments to review all his symptoms from yesterday to now, and he began slowly to explain them all to the white mage.
"I think I'm -- no, I was hallucinating, for sure! And I think I still might be, since I smell berries and I don't think there are any berries around! Unless this is a stroke instead!" Another deep breath, and again he slowed his words. "And I feel lightheaded and dizzy and nauseous. And the tension in my chest! It was all very sudden too! I was feeling quite okay until Cid's lecture, but I know sometimes these things can sneak up on you! And... oh, I still feel so queasy." He held his stomach, sure that the contents of his lunch would escape at any moment.
