Livia continued to stare down, her eyes blue like river stones, a more muted shade of blue, framed by her auburn colored hair, and modern clothes.

"I found you in the back of a wagon clinging to life, some townspeople found you." She answered, while the nurse nodded, and turned to leave, the door chiming with her departure as she went to go get the doctor, and let him know that Ragnar was awake. "I brought you here, you're in a hospital - a house of healing." Livia said, the modern english like dialect muddled by a somewhat latinized accent. "Your wounds were grave, this was the only place I knew of that could treat them." Livia answered as best as she could. "I am Livia." She said, holding her hand to her chest, to introduce herself.

The Machines in the room let off a soft whine, with the occasional intermittent beeping sound, a soft whir, and a soft hiss could also be heard coming from the machinery in the room, much of which had been disconnected for some time. At that moment an orderly stepped into the room with a cart that had an assortment of containers, the Orderly greeted Livia in Taiyou for a moment, before moving a cover tray over to a small extendable table that swiveled around, and could hold various things in front of the patient.

Livia looked down as the orderly removed the cover, grilled squid, rice, with a fried egg over it, a bowl of Miso soup, and natto served with soy sauce. The meal had been expertly prepared, and was piping hot, which the doctor had already removed the nutrient IV lines when Ragnar's breathing tubes were removed so they could bring him out of the coma. Everything was planned according to a strict regimen. The Doctor believed enough time had lapsed that he could try solid food.

The tray was placed down on the table, and the table moved in front of Ragnar as Livia moved to unfasten one of the restraints. "I'm going to undo your restraints, please don't do anything rash." The Legata pleaded as she began to unfasten the restraint binding Ragnar's right arm.

Livia looked down to the tray, which also had a glass of ramune soda, with ice and straw to be drank with the meal.

"Can you eat? Are you hungry? Can you tell me what happened to you?"
