Maxwell seemed a little more compliant and sat in the room he liked more than anything. Warm flooded his body as he sat down in front of the fire. It was so good and something that eased his aches too. But the headache was always present. He touched his head gingerly, even as well as feeling for a wound or something. He found a bump on his head. Had he hit his head which was what caused him memory loss? But where did he hit his head? He must have hit his head somewhere in this house. Confused.
He was staring into the flickering flames and for a moment, he was transferred to a place. In a flash, he saw waves. He blinked. Waves? What had waves? He didn't even know how to swim. So why would there be waves in a fire? In another flash, he saw the flames. It was odd. But he said nothing.

"Oh thank you." He walked into the house and nodded. "I lost my horse. You don't mind? It's just I don't want to be an inconvenience to you or your family. I could track my horse down, but I felt my life was more important than the horse."
He made sure not to look around because that would look suspicious, right?

Bella shortly returns with a bowl of herbal, tasteful pasta. She assumed they wouldn't choke on the soft noodles, it's not like they had a throat or severe memory loss issue. If so, soup time. But the way the two were acting, vigilant, and aware, she denies it. Now challenging to have something to eat, that was standard.
She smiles, cheerily roaming back into the spacious living room, jovial to have the humans desire something for once. Her sights wander down to Maxwell. His sudden response to the simulated vision in the flames alarms her. With haste, she runs over to him. The soup was placed on the ottoman on the right of him.
Her moderate hands clasp his shoulders, mildly motioning him towards her face. She disturbingly checks his pupils, even in the light they performed wrongly. "Snap out of it!" she hollers, pleading for him to voluntarily obey. One hand plucks from his shoulder, brought it in front of him, and snaps her fingers. ****
Family? Norrix gently stumbles back. He had no family but for his kind servants that acted like it. He figures he kept his work parted from his personal that others assumed he had one. Quietly his eyes meet back to Galen. He wasn't upset, just a little appalled.
"I have none, Galen," he smoothly corrects, having the assistant close the door as Galen was in the way to seal it himself. "No worries, though," he freely affirms. "About your mount, if you need one, I can provide. I have a few I keep to myself," he willingly shares.
The first thing Norrix had done, placed himself on the antique cushioned sofa. He'd assume Galen was going to customarily join him. His mild stare shot over. "If you don't want to participate, and feel you shouldn't because you're dirty. I don't care unless you want to freshen up first?" he helpfully implies.

Maxwell turned to her and blinked his eyes. He must've drifted off into a daydream. "Hello?" He glanced to the pasta. It looked good for him and his stomach gave a little growl. He was hungry and licked his lips. "The fire beautiful. It felt so warm and this room seems to be the only warm one here." He guessed. He still was wrapped in his blanket.
-0-
Galen looked apologetic. "I'm so sorry." He said, thinking that maybe his parents had died of natural causes. "You have a nice house." He picked off some of the twigs and put them into a pile. As long as he didn't dirty up the couch or anything. He sat down and thought, "Yes please. I could use a mount that won't spook so easily." Of course, some spooked due to a change. He hadn't sensed anything out of the ordinary. "Come to think of it, there was no reason why my mount would run off. Unless it was a snake." He shrugged. "Killed a few on my human hunt."

Bella drops her head, pivoting back and forth, sighing in great relief. These humans can easily bring a devastating panic. Their health is so fragile at this moment.
Her eyes wander over to the steamy pasta. Oh? He wants it? That's an improving sign. She kindly grasps the bowl that was on the tray. She brought it closer to him.
"Here," she commonly offers, placing the bowl in front of him. She takes the spoon and squeezes into his fingers. "It's you want crackers, notify me," she mentions, rising from her panicked moment.
She shot her eyes over to the General. Oh? He has company? Better not bother him with the recent happenings. After, she warmly peers down at Maxwell. She still wanted Naruto to check him too. *** Norrix rose his hand, giving his head a single shake. "Don't worry about it, you didn't know. Which I'm sure the others don't either." He drops his hand on the arm of the couch. "Better to not discuss."
Norrix kept sections of his life very personal, to himself. On a rare occasion he does reveal fractures of his concealed life. He's more open on his occupation details, varying the topic of course.
For a brief moment, he smiled, a very small one. "Thank you. I actually inherited from my parents," he rarely shared. He chose his words strictly.
Galen was very friendly, but was more of a faint stranger. It was uncommon to bring anyone closer than a greeting. He wasn't much for friends but for his life long servants.
He didn't mind Galen respectfully removing some dirty items. His head bobbed, lifting his fingers. "Mm, I think I might have one," his other finger tapped his chin. "Might need to examine each one again, might anyway." His brows strongly furrows. "Nothing?" he utterly repeats, averting his orbs to a random direction. "Snakes? possibly. You sure it wasn't a human?"

Maxwell started to eat which was a good sign that he wasn't too bad. It was just his memory loss...Maybe something traumatized him and made him forget details of his life. He couldn't say no to food though as he was starving.
He was watching the ape sitting next to him, watching him. She seemed to be nice and he hoped she wouldn't ever have to take a firm approach to him. After all, he was still recovering from the cold. He thought he could hear voices, but didn't know for sure who they were. One, he recognized, one he didn't. Maybe he should finish eating and go say hello?
He finished eating and stood up before she could grab the bowl. He was heading to the door, seeing what she would do.
-0-
Galen nodded as he didn't feel up to discussing about Norrix's parents and wasn't really up to much of anything by it. He was a stranger which meant that not many gorillas trusted others.
"Great." As Galen thought of what might spook his horse, he agreed. "I know that snakes spook apes and the horses. But the jungle holds many secrets. Humans possibly." He admitted. Then, "You don't believe there's some kind of new caste of wild humans living in the jungle? Being the jungle- things have surely taken on a new aspect of life."

Venus weakly glares over him, a light fury surfaces from being hindered. Once she was placed down, and Naruto focused on his own self. Venus scrabbles to get the laser from him that he dropped earlier, and fired it at him. If she succeeds, and moves, she stumbles out into the hallway. A massive headache corrupted her thinking and increases her stumbling.

Bella wasn't too bothered about Maxwell. He appeared very docile and cooperative. However, still under memory loss and recovery, she didn't believe him entirely. That wild one upstairs, she'd be an alert to her. Bella was engaged with Maxwell and Naruto being upstairs. She had no disturbance.
She gently pats Maxwell's shoulder, beaming with delightful joy, glad he's eating. "It's good isn't?" She knew for herself what the pasta savored like. It might be strange with human tastebuds. She bounces her head, satisfied he was freely eating.
As Bella walks into the kitchen, she detected quiet footsteps behind her. Knowing exactly who, she turns around and grapples Maxwell's shoulder. "Oh, no, no. I'm not sure what's wrong with you, don't push too hard."
*
Norrix gradually nods, hearing the light commotion with Bella and Maxwell. He didn't have any issues as Bella and Naruto can very well manage themselves. Galen had a right keened point there. "Yes, yes, you're right. But is your steed afraid of the huge cats that creep in the jungle?" he asks, turning his head, glancing at the front door. "Humans come to my place all the time," he informs.
He scratches his head, hopping his fatigued sights back over Galen. It had been a seriously long day, but having company was very nice. "You're correct there, they hold dark secrets." His eyes squinted as if he was familiar as to what. *
Naruto had been contemplating over the symptoms Maxwell had surfaced in the past twelve hours. He was trying to diagnose without examining him. It was the wrong thing to do. The laser from the device that he used as a gentle light, pierced his shoulder mercilessly.
"Gah!" He hollers out in intense pain. Crimson red flowed out of the fresh laceration. He stumbles back into a tall, antique leaning mirror. He topples into it, sharp fractures raining onto him. A few scrapping his arm, not as deadly as the laser. "Ugh! Norrix!" He cries angrily for desperate help.
Norrix caught his name and bolts up with frustration. "Excuse me, Galen," he growls, bringing out his deadly pistol and storms over where his name was called. He pauses, expanding his eyes in shock. He shook his head, believing it was another intruder.
He sees Venus stumbling as she continues forward, a deadly device in her grasp. He didn't want to kill but perhaps threaten. "Hold it!" he aims the pistol that needs to be cocked first. "Easy little white human, just put the light down," he softly instructs, but rage clouded his eyes.
Maybe Galen had a tranquilizer? The only sedative there was Naruto's and Bella's. And Bella would need to go up the stairs. "Galen! Do you have a dart gun? If you do, I really need it."
Bella heard the commotion, stopping by the stairs as Norrix was swift. Quietly she brought out the sedative. But she couldn't get up there. Expecting Maxwell to remain still and frightened.

Maxwell blinked in surprise? Dismay? What? He looked at her and shrugged. He felt fine or so he thought. He was following her around and watching.
-0-
Galen missed little and decided to tell him. "Yes. My steed is. What was odd was I didn't see it. Nor smell it. But there are fewer cats now. There used to be many. Some thing may be eating them."
-0-
Then Maxwell heard someone yelling for Norrix. He wondered why and left to go find out.
-0-
Galen stood up to help his new friend, but bumped into Maxwell as he was heading to help Norrix. Galen didn't have enough time to think about what Maxwell was doing here. But he figured he was a lookalike and that many humans looked like him anyway. He saw the white human and he held out his dart gun.
"Here you go, Norrix. Your pets are cute." He knew they were new.

Venus crashes to the corner of the wall, hearing glass shattering in the nearby room. Dang, that did not sound good. Each second that passes by, she winces intently. Why was this headache not ending? Ugh. Venus glimpses over to the two apes that were at the lowest step. Then, she looks over to Galen. That ape is familiar, but who? She shakes her head, pressing the button to unleash another shot. "Don't want to stay," she muffles. She weakly climbs down the stairs, still aiming the laser.

Galen didn't notice that the lookalike Maxwell was behind him. He aimed the tranquilizer gun and shot at her. Hoping the shot will strike her in a non-vital spot on her. He was surprised and knew immediately who she was. "Venus?" He questioned, wondering why she was there and not out in the wilds. "You're - dead."
-0-
Maxwell continued to watch. The white human was Venus? Oh that's a nice name. He just stood there, idly by, innocent, and all he knew was how she was so unsteady. He didn't have the same symptoms as he. But then he saw something under her hair. A gash. So she would have some concussion and wasn't acting normal. Maxwell took a step closer to Galen to ask him why he was going to shoot her? She was not in her right mind and neither was he.

Bella was aware that Maxwell was curiously following her around. She figures he was more healthy than the other one upstairs. He seemed not to pass out when he stood up super fast, or wobble. Bella decided to release him, and wander off. Again, he resumes following. That's alright, at least he's in her view.
"I will get you some crackers, I'm sure you will like the add on." she offers, walking into the kitchen to receive. She believes that Maxwell will stay out of trouble. Especially when Norrix is near.
Bella bolts over to the stairs, shortly before Maxwell arrived. ** Norrix scratches his head, wondering what that could be. "mmm, larger cats, or, skilled humans wanting to steal your steed. Even kill," he mentions from his experiences. He observes around. "I should have got us drinks," he chuckles.
**
Norrix glances behind as Galen scurries over. He notes that he stared for a few moments. "Uh?" he murmurs, the drops the subject. He hovered his scowl over, up to the stairs at Venus.
"These humans are not Norrix's pets," Naruto snarls, walking where Venus fell. He tosses his gun angrily to the side. Blood draped his entire face, along with his long arms. He was nearly bathed in blood. He grasps Venus's hand. "These humans were rescued by Norrix, near the river," he continues to growl.
Norrix winces intently at the site of his medic. The gun was lowered to the ground, eventually released. "Naruto?? What happened to you? Did this white creature stab?" he questions, amazed, with his eyes extended wide.
Naruto shook his head, hauling Venus over, stealing his light back. "No, she shot me with this light," he explains, shaking the deadly light. "Then, I crashed into the mirror, the fragments slicing," he growls, gently placing her back down.
Then, he heard Galen's voice. Venus? That was her name? Well, that's a relief. He turns over to Galen. "You know this white human? Who is she, is she your pet?" he asks, averting his eyes over to Maxwell.
Naruto intently sighs, relieving his build up rage. "These humans have no memory ever since Norrix was brought back. If you know their owners, please bring them here. Or even his guardian." He insists. "They were plagued by hypothermia."

Galen looked at him. "I recognize her. But I don't know her owner or his guardian." He indicated to Maxwell next. The young man was confused as to who he was.
He studied Maxwell for a little moment. There was no recognition or anything. It was probably Post traumatic Stress Syndrome or a temporary memory loss. Maxwell wasn't himself. "The river that claimed two humans' lives." He shook his head in disbelief. "They suffered hypothermia and apparently, the male is clearly confused about his situation."
-0-
Maxwell was so confused as to why this gorilla was naming them strange names. He didn't know his name and all he wanted to do was take a nice long rest since he had a full belly. The more he looked at the white human, the more he found her rather unique and nice. She seemed so fragile. He cringed, thinking that all the apes were, mad at him. He thought of running outside and trying to recover his own memory on his own terms.

Venus didn't even fight, but winced as she was harshly dragged over. She grasps his wrist weakly then placed her head into the rug. Her head pulsated harshly. Then she was shot. She hadn't welcome sleep more than now. She collapses to a deep sleep.

Naruto scratches his head, assuming there wasn't going to be another wicked conflict. It's not that he can't manage them, but more along the lines of exhaustion. He really didn't want to deal with more, even though he's applied to it. Recognization? Well, that was beneficial than studying up thousands of human files.
For a moment, he centered on Naruto, who was dangerously bleeding. His hand flows up to him. "Uh, Naruto go ahead and put that human in lockdown, or to where she can't get out," he kindly instructs. "And, please clean up. Or do whatever first," he sways his hand downward.
Then, he peers down at Maxwell. Should he join or not? He hasn't had that much difficulty. He received to Galen's honest assumption. "Unfortunately they both do. I was bewildered too, to see two humans survive those frigid currents. I'm sure they would have passed within minutes after I found them."
"Bella, can you...uh," he muffles, glancing down at the pasta. He frustratingly grips his temple, sighing. "Take him to the kitchen to finish eating, where you and the chef can keep a strict eye on him."
Without another word from the General, Bella kindly guides Maxwell into the kitchen with his meal. Then Naruto gathers Venus's unconscious body to another room, with no mirrors.
Norrix bends over to pick up his pistol and sets it the hold. "I think they are just terrified because they don't recall," he talks theoretically to himself. He lays a hand on Galen's shoulder. "I'm really sorry to put you through this mess." he stunningly apologizes, roaming back to where he was seated.
He plops right into, delivering an intent sigh. He grapples his forehead. A forced headache emerges. **
Naruto lays Venus down, knowing she would be out, he departs in the other room. Without even tending himself, he secured Venus back up, aiding the dangerous human before he would go off to tend. He was only flustered but didn't want humans to die or get too ill. **
Bella smoothly settles Maxwell in one of the large chairs, lightly pushing it close. A way for him not to escape the cushioned chair. Calmly the pasta was set in front of him on the table. "Here you are, I will get you more when you're done," she tenderly informs, drawing back. She did not leave him alone and kept a firm eye on him.
