I continue to feed Brightsoul carrots, apples, sugar cubes, oats, and whatever else he may need. "Brightsoul, are you able to feel Ajax's presence or has your bond to him been cut off? If you can, is he badly harmed? Also, would you be able to describe your covert mission objectives? I do not wish to put you in jeopardy if that information is too delicate, so don't feel obligated to share, but I would like to help in any way I can. Before you were assaulted, do you recall hearing or seeing anything regarding Leon or the two keyblades that unlock the Gemblade? Did your assailants mention the name "Battle" or refer to the Gemblade by name? Once you recover from your wounds, we would be happy to help locate Ajax. Would you be willing to aid us in finding Leon and the keyblades? I have no doubt they are directly related.
On a side note, I'd like to continue to donate vast quantities of food and drink to the women and children left behind. This, of course, applies only to the time before we actually leave. If it's only a day, then I get up extra early and bring over the supplies with the badger's help if he's willing.
Also before we leave, I go to a fortified location within the area like a Temple or military barracks and contact Emelda with the sending stone. I also check "status" to see how she's recovering from the psionic attack. I check on the kids too.
