[After the Kin'Corans had left and the power cap was back to normal, Estelle found herself waking up in her room. Last thing she remembered was being in the smithy, healing Yuri's wounds, when she had collapsed.

The girl sits up on her bed, lifting a hand to her forehead as she foggy memories start to catch up with her. That's right, she'd spent a lot of time running to and fro, healing people. It had... really taken a lot out of her. She supposes she must have overdone it. Also, she was really... -really- hungry.

Not knowing how long she was out, or the physical state she's in, Estelle decides to get up.

Moving to stand, Estelle quickly finds this to be a poor decision as her strength is just, not there. There's a loud thud that can probably be heard throughout the house as the girl hits the floor, followed by a moan and some mumbling]

-------------
[Later on that day, after Estelle has eaten and regained some of her strength, she will be out and about for a walk. Granted she's taking it easy, and was specifically told to not go too far or to use her powers. Thus she'll just be making a quick trip around the block as it were, not going any farther then the two bridges closest to House 12.]

[Coming to the bridge, Estelle stops here and pauses to look out over the water. Which... reminds her of when she purposefully dropped her blastia in there not long ago. She sighs, and then looks over to see... a cat.]

Oh, what a cute cat.

[Her usual enthusiasm isn't there, but the words are genuine as she bends down and holds her hand out to the kitty.]

[The cat just moves his head one side to the other. He doesn't make any sort of advance towards Estelle and takes a step or two away from her hand when she approaches.

Who the heck are you? D< ]

[Estelle looks a little crestfallen as the cat backs away from her. Oh no, surely cats don't hate her too. She's already been through this with Repede.

She tries again by standing up, taking a few steps towards the cat, and bending down again.]

Here kitty, I won't hurt you.

[The cat does the same thing, but doesn't step too far from her this time. He just meows at her.

His little ears then twitch at the sound of approaching footsteps. He turns his head in the direction of the footsteps. Alexei was making his way back to his place after running a few errands and he's going to stop when he reaches the bridge.]

[When the cat moves away again, Estelle hangs her head in defeat, not yet noticing the approaching footsteps.]

Why don't animals like me?

[...she's having trouble, with his cat. Right. Since he doesn't exactly have any business with the Princess, he's going to keep on walking and hope to pass her with little incident. His cat will start following after him.]

[As the cat moves off, Estelle stands and reaches her arm out.]

W-wait!

[She then notices someone walking by.]

Oh... Alexei.

[And the cat is following him. That's... just not right.]

[He stops once he had passed her, Hermes stopping just behind him.]

You don't seem quite like yourself today, Princess. [She seem less...energetic than usual anyway]

[Normally such a statement wouldn't be upsetting to her, but coming from Alexei, it's different. Holding an arm to her chest, she looks down for a moment.]

Why would that concern you?

[As if Alexei really knew her anyway. She had been little more than a tool to him.]

I was just making an observation. [And with that he's on his way again.]

[Estelle just blinks and starts to watch him go.. until she realizes the cat is following him.]

Wait! Is... is that your cat?

[...]

Yes. Even if he wasn't he refuses to leave my side.

That's...

[Estelle just doesn't know what to say to that. It's just... not fair! Why would a cat like someone like Alexei but not her?]

Was that all? [He doesn't really notice how much his answer had put her down.]

Y-yes.

[Alexei you have no idea how much you deflated Estelle. Life is just cruel and unfair. How dare a cat actually like you when she can't even win over Repede.]
