57th of Ymiden, Arc 717
"Own me."
"Love me, Doctor Alistair. I love you, I--"
"Why are you so cruel to me, Doctor Alistair? Why do you chain me to this bed?"
"Alistair, please! There's a fire spreading through the East and I can't -- I can't--"
"Ser Doctor... have you ever heard of the Kem Cabal?"
"Doctor, I'm not sick anymore. I've been cured. Let me go."
"Doctor Alistair, Doctor Alistair, Doctor..."
. . .
God, if ever he'd been tested, it was now. Ren Norendel, the son of the prestigious Demavend and therefore by extension Lucien Lordaeron. Two powerful fathers, one vile and debaucherous child. God, he was ill. Sadistic, masochistic, needy, crude, and most of all a total liar. Everything he said was a lie -- the mage had begun to wonder the truth of even the original statement that had drawn his interest.
He claimed that Fridgar had raped him during their time alone in that room. He claimed that Kaiserion had demeaned him to tears, causing for him to question his value. Ren threatened to have both of his fathers bear down on Kaelserad, demanding to be released to prevent said horrific fate. Alistair did not comply -- but then, he didn't comply to any of his requests, and certainly not his demands.
Fortunately, they had not discovered any freak bug infestation and no one among the staff or other patients had faced any diseases. Ren had been isolated to a small room mostly used for storage purposes, laying on a bed and looked over every thirty bits by at least one of the staff. He was mostly quiet until one of them stepped in, and had not attempted violence upon any of them. Somehow, outside of his lies, hyperbole and vulgarity, he'd mostly calmed.
But he -- he was a problem. It had only been a trial now, but soon he knew there would be great difficulty in keeping him here. How would they bathe him? What if he bit one of the staff while they fed him, and tore out their jugular? What if he gave someone a disease? Alistair didn't know how the Yithnai operated - perhaps he wanted to be kept here, as part of a nefarious plan. It was all very concerning, and also, stressful. They'd be on their trial of the Survivor soon - what could he do in that period of time, left alone for the far majority of most days? The mage didn't want to know.
He had to deal with this, and as his co-physician, so too did Fridgar. Alistair yelled for his mate, asking if he'd come to Ren's room so that they could have a discussion with him and among themselves to decide his future at the clinic. Opening the door to check on him, however, the mage found that he was gone. His cuffs were still chained to the bed, but they'd been opened, despite the fact that he held the keys in his pocket. When Fridgar came to see Alistair, he would find the mage blankly staring at the empty room, utterly horrified by what would happen now.
On the bed, with further inspection, laid a note. Alistair was too stunned to notice, but perhaps Fridgar might. It read:
Fridgar the Robust,
I'll be waiting for you by the Highlander and Llewnos Inn come dusk, in Aedirn. Be ready for me, big daddy.
