(Well Aster is human....)

Aster dropped his notebook upon hearing this.  "No way...I would have never guessed." he said sarcastically.  "Let me guess, you want me to help you see?  I can do that, and it would only take 5 minutes." 

(Aster is a twig compared to the noodle of blindness in front of him.)

"Well yes.  It's quite easy.  You're not the only blind person I know.  The Kyng himself is as blind as you are.  Well, in a way.  He's extremely near-sighted to the point where you would have to be kissing him for him to be able to even see an outline of your face.  I didn't really anticipate that when the Limiter was made, but all is well.  Arithnia turned out damn well if I do say so myself.  Gotta say I did rather good..."

"Remember the cases your brought in?  One of them, the smaller one, was the Limiter.  The other was the Black Box, an item that manufactures a very specific part of the Limiter that keeps Crimson alive for a good while.  I tried to cure his blindness, but the Scale Rust is too deep into his blood to effectively wipe.  Perks of being a Kyng I guess.  And this isn't a country, it's a continent.  We don't have boarders or things like that....at least I don't think."   

"Not exactly.  Scale Rust is rather odd, even I'm not sure where it came from, though I can guess.  But Scale Rust is very...aggressive on his body.  What happens is that the more and more he moves, his blood cells, the red stuff that you see when you get a cut or whatnot, becomes crystalized and extremely hard LIKE a scale, and gains a crystalline property that is razor sharp.  That's the Scale part.  The Rust is due to this process happening by rapid oxygenation happening in the blood, like hyperventilation.  The more and more his blood moves around, the faster the 'Scales" spread and shred his body.  The Limiter is a dialysis machine of sorts that prevents this  cycle."   

(Arithnia is rather advanced, more so than one may think.)

"Well considering the materials made for these bracers, I'm sure you know a bit.  And no, before you even get a word out, magic does not work on Crimson.  There are somethings I have to keep private.  Patient information is confidential after all.  It doesn't matter if you can materialize anything, use some form of blood magic, you can't cure the Scale Rust.  I would say ask Crimson himself, but he's not in the best of states..." 

(Some things are meant to be kept secret.  And I will say it now, you physically, magically or even realistically cure Scale Rust.  Crimson holds a power...a very certain one at that, which allows him to go against order.)

(Arithnia doesn't have gods so to speak.  At least, the way you think of them, there aren't.)

"Ah, he told you the worse case of the Limiter fails?  Well, that saves time.  Eventually he will have to go into the Firing Chamber...but let's put my top patient aside, I can cure your blindness while you're in Arithnia, but outside of it, I don't know if it will work.  Our magic is vastly different than one thinks...."

"In theory, if that is true, you could retain some sight, albeit with some difficulty.  Many peoples magic works in different ways, so who knows.  Might get lucky and end up like Crimson with extreme near-sight, or maybe it could be corrected eventually.  Not my forte to judge." Aster tossed his notebook onto his desk and began to rummage through his drawers.  "I don't suppose you have some sort of ring or such?" he asked, his head deep in a drawer.  

Aster popped his head out and raised an eyebrow.  "I'm not Merlin you fool.  My magic is the oldest type there is.  I use Runes and objects to cast my magic.  I don't use words or wordles magics like some do."

"A Sun to a Moon, I think that would fit your motif a lot." Aster took the necklace and looked at it and turned it over a few times.  "Yes, I can work with this.  And Caligo, if you so wish, I could actually make something for your body to heal faster, thus releasing some pain, but you'll have to deal with a side effect..."

(Don't worry, I've done some made-up, last-minute lore before too.  I understand the pain XD) 

"Trust me, it'll help a lot more than you think.  But once a month, you'll have to turn into a statue while your body degrades slowly and restores.  Only for 24 hours though.  Can't have Vio making you too strong now can we?" Aster looks at the forth wall and winks.  

"Ahem, that aside, give me 5 minutes and I'll finish the necklace Aestus." 

(That's how I do my RP's.  I just think like my Characters.  Technically Arithnia doesn't even have names for it continents.  Garcarnia is just a name I thought of on the fly, and personally I like it.)

Aster hummed as small flares of blue light came from his palm.  "So, uh, are you two married or something?  Or engaged like Fang and Crimson?  What's your deal?"

(Mostly 4th walls are reserved for Crimson...sometimes.)

"Mhm, Crimson and Fang say the same thing you know.  I may be old, but I know love when I see it." Aster chuckled warmly and handed the necklace to Aestus.  In part with the crescent moon, there was a small sun in it. He then tossed a bracelet to Caligo.  "For your joints.  It's going to take a good while before I get Shard to make the exoskeleton."

(Don't worry, Crimson is the same way...Fang too.  Granted at least they accept part of it.  And Caligo and Aestus can create using dust,  I don't see why they can't change the shape of the items.  I'd allow it.)

"Yeah, thank you." Aster said to himself. 

Aster smiled softly and waved them out.  He quickly went back to his computer and began to type furiously. 

The necklace and bracelet gave a small glimmer and glowed a light blue... 

(It would be a gradual thing I would assume, considering it would realistically be an overflow of information to the brain.  Personally I would tie a blindfold around her eyes to let her get used to bright...well lights and go from there.)

"Well, that's a surprise.  Aster actually helped you two?  How sweet of him." Fang said, walking past the two to Aster's medical bay.  Flare was carrying a beautiful onyx box with a small brush on top of it.  "I am glad to see you two are happy..."
