Hilda has never enjoyed the smell of medical bays or hospitals despite playing sick or claiming an injury during her Academy years. When a (usually fake) ailment came up, she made herself scarce and floated back to her room to "recover" with a nice little nap. All of that may have been karma if she believed in that sort of thing because this has probably been the longest she's ever stayed in a hospital and she still wasn't the one that was sick or injured.

As reluctant as she is to leave the hospital, she is still a creature of habit and leaves that day to freshen up, and of course, check on the pet lizards she somehow acquired over the course of the chaos. Do you take lizards on a walk? Who knows, but she figures that they'd enjoy seeing the gardens.

They're perched on her shoulder behaving themselves until one of them all but leaps off her shoulder and takes off into the grass. The rustling and odd clockwork whirs that accompany it is her own indication of where he's going which just so happens to be a man just trying to meditate. Oh, Goddess. She's quick to take chase, plucking Velki's smaller sibling off her shoulder and into her hands just in case Mali has any ideas.

"Veliki! Get back here."
