In her mind, Pat was being taken back through the cracks in the block in her memories to the last few minutes of her power, over and over again... She was scared of what she was seeing, but she couldn't stop seeing it... So much so, that even if she DID regain her memories, she'd be too out of it to even TRY anything...

With nothing to do and a general fear of trying to shake Patricia out of her trance, Elim backed off. He sat down on the couch where he'd been when he'd first heard the knock on the door, mentally reviewing what had just happened. There was no way he could have expected her to be there, but now that she was, things were going to be a bit... Different for him.

Soon, those memories left her... Only to be replaced by a slightly older one... She was in her tent and looked at the mirror standing there... She was covered in blood on her chest, arms, in fact almost everywhere was covered in congeling red fluids... Which promped the huddled up Patricia to scream in terror, clutch at her head and fall onto her side.

Still entirely helpless and unwilling to try and shake her out of something that could result in unpredictable change, Elim buried his face in one paw and tried to think of something to do with this fox. All he'd wanted was a nice, quiet morning, but he just had to meet someone straight out of his past who was suffering from amnesia and breaking down in the face of old memories. "Aw... Good."

After a few more minutes, the memory faded away, bringing the white colour back to the vixen's features, and leaving her sobbing to herself in the corner... Her entire world had been turned on it's head in a single afternoon, and her teacher wasn't around any more to calm her down and do her special trick with the crystal on the string to help the vixen feel more at ease after a nightmare.

Elim was considering just getting Patricia out of the house. She was just bothering him at this point and not even requesting anything that could help, so he was left just sitting on the couch and waiting for her to get up off the ground. Maybe she'd do something productive if he left her alone. In the meantime, he reopened the book he'd been going through earlier and continued to read it.

Slowly comming back from the state she was in, the vixen sat up from the floor, wiped her eyes, and stood up... Following the sound of turning pages, she entered the front room, and sat in front of Elim, but on one of the foot stools.

After finishing the page and bookmarking his place, Elim closed the covers together and looked up at Patricia with apathy. She was just... Looking at him. It was actually a bit disturbing how she stared, but he didn't comment on that. "Is there something I can help you with, Patricia?"

"I want you to tell me more... So that, if I do ever change back, I can try to change the bad things..."
Being totally honest, Patricia felt deep down, that all the bad breams weren't going to stop, and thus, she needed to know her past, so she could avoid making the same mistakes again.

"Tell you more? You tried to unify a bunch of vermin factions... Ragtag groups, that couldn't have taken on a village and won on their own... Into an army. Rapscallion-sized army. Quite obviously, it didn't work, but it involved assassination, military coups, and the like... I don't know a lot myself," Elim shrugged. He didn't know Patricia that well even before her amnesia, knowing more of her military threat and political actions.

"So I tried to be a warlord-typed vixen? And I did very bad things? Hmmmm... Well... At least I know some things to avoid doing..."
While Elim's words were not overly helpful to her, at least she knew something to avoid should she ever change back...
"I guess I'd better be going... Before the market closes... Thank you for your help Elim..."

"You're... Welcome, wait, why are you going to the market?" Elim stood slowly and set the book down on the end table beside the couch. It seemed like an odd place to go to. "And unless you live by the fort, you've gone right past it... Why do you want to go down there?"

"I wanted to buy a purple dress and some purple dye."
Keeping a straight face while she said that, she soon broke into a cheeky grin.
"I'm only kidding... I really need to buy some food, and some things to help with my dancing."

"You w-" Elim cut himself off when he heard the word 'dancing' come out of Patricia's mouth. That hit him hard enough to send his mind flying into a wall. There was no way the fox he'd once known would subject herself to dance. "You dance now? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Teacher taught me to... She said it was better than doing something dumb like fighting an army... I always thought she was joking... Until now..."
Stepping back a few paces, she raised her arms above her head, and twirled relatively quickly on the spot several times, her skirt billowing up as far as her knees as she did so.
