Waking up this time around was a matter of mixed feelings. On the one hand, Guy really would have preferred to not get cut off when they'd finally been getting somewhere down in the caverns. Not that that tunnel would have necessarily held anything good for them, but the curiosity was almost too much. On the other hand, though, when he woke up he had his sense of touch back. He could feel the mattress under him, the sheets rubbing against his skin, his eyelids fluttering open and closed.
That wasn't a sense he would necessarily give up again so easily. If they even had to bother with a toll again, and it didn't seem like it based on what that skeleton had said, then he was probably going to give up his voice. It might be a pain to write everything down, but at least he would have been able to feel his own feet.
Guy had almost forgotten that today was the Doyleton trip. Honestly, part of him just wanted to get through the day as quickly as possible so that night could come around again and they could make some real progress. Not that the town didn't have things of interest in it, and Guy was particularly curious about the mention of a new store. Either way, he was quick to change into the clothes that a nurse brought him: a loose, striped shirt and some blue jeans. It wasn't really his style, but there was no point in complaining.
Sack lunch in hand, Guy headed outside and boarded one of the buses, and he immediately spotted Anise. They'd only just seen each other, but there was nothing wrong with checking in before the trip started, right? Guy moved over to her with a smile, taking the seat behind her so that they could talk easily without there being any mishaps.
Though that did remind him of how he'd been able to make contact with Anise last night without any ill effects. That had probably been the only good thing about losing his sense of touch, though in the end that didn't make it worth it. Guy looked Anise over and smiled slightly. "I don't really like when things end like that, but we can at least try again tonight." Overall, it was just good to see Anise eating and looking healthy. The relief from his friends being cured hadn't quite worn off yet.
