Sure enough, her whole body suddenly swayed, and down she went. Meta looked up, a mild look of annoyance on his face. “What is going on?”
Lord tilted his head lightly. “She collapsed.”
“Oh. Why?”
“Has she not been interacting with me on a daily basis for the past month or so?”
“Oh, that’s right. But I thought she was different. Can’t she talk to you, Lord?”
At that, he simply shrugged, the same plastic smile on his face unchanging. “Just because she can fight Profound Fear to speak to me doesn’t mean she doesn’t experience it.”
Meta gave a casual nod. “I suppose her body will still do what a human body would do in such a situation. But...”
“But?” Lord had already returned to looking over documents.
“But are we going to leave her on the floor?”
Before Lord could reply, the door creaked open. “Lord! I came as soon as I was able. To think you took over a kingdom—“ the man that walked in suddenly halted when he came to Celestria’s unconscious body.
“Oh my.”
“Welcome back, Nedrie.” Meta acknowledged.
“Why is this human here?”
“She passed out just now.”
“... you’re not going to pick her up?”
Both Nedrie and Meta turned to Lord, whose attention had already shifted. When he felt their gaze on him, he looked up, then shrugged his shoulders. “What is to be done?”
Nedrie’a face was frozen with shock for a bit, before an unnatural smile cut across his face. With a sinister bow, he placed his hand upon his chest and asked, “Would you allow me to take care of her?”
