Mara nodded at the Kikimora. "I'm fine. I'm just going to go look around," she said as she left to explore the building. She walked up a flight of stairs the the floor above. She ended up in what looked like an office, and there was a human man sitting behind a rather old looking desk. The man looked quite old himself in fact. Unexpectedly, he spoke before she had a chance to say anything.

"Hello, and welcome to the Lescatie Guardian Hall..... Mara," the man said looking up at the Minotuarus before him.

Mara's eyes narrowed. "How do you know who I am?" she interrogated.

The man smiled. "Everyone knows who you are, and your friend. From what I hear, you two party crashed a Remnant Base all by yourselves and endedup almost dying in the process. However, you two did more damage than what would have been expected of a human and a Minotuarus." The man stood up and walked around the desk. He examined her with keen eyes for a moment before continuing to speak. "You don't look any stronger than any other Minotuarus. Yet, you were able to infultrate the base so efficiently. Why?" The man peered at her with intense eyes.

Mara took a few steps back. "How should I know? Like you said, I'm no different than any other Minotuarus. If anything, it was because I was with Robert, who came up with the idea of luring a bunch of the guards into their own traps. What got us was something I never experienced before." She looked down at the bandages on her chest and leg before she suddenly realized something. "Where are the rest of my clothes?" she asked, turning a little red. It wasn't too serious of an issue as she had done much more embarrassing things before the Correction took place a year ago, when the Demon Lord was finally able to overwrite the nature of all the monsters.

"I had them disposed of," the man said nonchalantly.

"What!?" Mara was utterly taken aback by this new information. "Why!?" she demanded.

"They were ruined," the man said in a simple tone, uneffected by Mara's sudden hostility. "Besides, you'll be outfitted with more... appropriate attire. This isn't the "back alley" era anymore," he added with a smile.

Mara frowned. He had a point. Her old clothes were from when monsters still seduced and/or raped humans, which meant very little coverage. Mara looked back up at the old man. "What about Robert? I didn't see him in the infirmary."

"He's just fine. His only major injury was a small hole in his left arm, nothing serious. We patched him up as best we could, though he did a pretty good job of it himself. The only other injuries were a few scrapes and bruises. He recovered quickly with the new medical developments from the combined work of humans and monsters. However, you were a different case. The injury to your leg had slightly fracture the bone, but this wasn't the serious part." The man pulled out one of the tiny metal balls that Robert had pulled from her. "Your friend told me he pulled these out of you before passing out. One of these had pierced through your chest and puncture one of your lungs. Now, I don't dissapprove of Robert removing these, but needless to say, he did make it worse. We had to hire a Lich to go in and fix all the damage that had been done." The man went back around his desk and sat down.

Mara took the time to process everything that he had just told her. "So, where is Robert now?"

"I don't know. I'm actually suprised that he wasn't the first thing you saw when you woke up. I was actually hoping to talk to you both about something."

Mara nodded. "I'll see if I can find him, I guess," she stated as she headed for the door. She searched around the building, but couldn't find Robert. Her chest began to hurt and she finally decided to head back to the infirmary to rest. She opened the door to the infirmary and was hoping to try and get some rest.

''Note: Yes, Mara is a monster, but she was also shot in the chest. The bullets still went in deep, and Robert's act of digging them out with a knife probably didn't help at all, but it was dealt with. He definitely recovered before Mara, though. You can be in the infirmary as I enter the room, or you can show up after I've rested.''
