Vince obliged and followed, finding the walk quite boring, per usual. He did as told as they asked things of him, like to sit down and such, nothing major. But, once they told him to strip to his skibbies for a few more tests, he declined, merely stating that he didn't want to reveal himself to people, titans or not.
They went on their business without his clothes being taken off. Once they were done, they told Vince what was going on bodily, and suggested he quit smoking, earning nothing more than a "feh" and an irritated snort.
He gladly stepped from the room, moving about the building quietly. He had been in there a total of a half hour and it only irritated him more. Vince often glanced behind his back, lighting a cigarette and taking a puff each time as he looked back.
He'd have to talk to Torment eventually; if anyone could clear it up, he could.

*Nodding.. Kalie watched the doctor walk away; having not understood the majority of what he had to say, minus the last few bits. Leaving Tor to sleep soundly.. she crept to the side the bed and dropped her legs over the edge. Swinging them back and forth, much like a small child, fitting in the Titian's palace.. she gazed around the room..while her mind wandered and tried to make sense of everything..*

An assistant came into the room with Vince holding a chart. When he spoke he had a note of urgency in his voice, "Sir, I would like to ask that you remain calm, but I think you may have been infected with Vampirism."
Torment remained in his slumber, muttering things in his sleep. Most were unintelligable babbling, but the name Cora kept coming up along with other random mumblings about more recent events. It was almost as if he were processing the recent events in his head for the first time, clearing his mind now that he was forced into sleep. Even though he had only been asleep for far less than an hour, his hair seemed to have regained it's flame kissed qualities and subdued blue ripples of energy rolled across his hands in some sort of sign of his recovery.

Vince could only stare blankly at the stupidity. Duh? Can anyone say that around here. "You look pale today, sir." "You may have been infected with vampirism." Jesus these people could be irritating.
He sighed, sitting down, deciding to be an a** about it, bursting into fake tears and burying his face in his hands. "Why lord?!" He laughed as he raised his head and opened his mouth, hissing to him and showing off his fangs. "Thanks, Genius. State the obvious again, rather than give me what I want." Sarcasm rocked sometimes.

*Quirking a brow, having gained a sudden interest in the rambling of the dozing mage, she propped her chin up on a hand and gazed at Torment from over her shoulder..her lips forming in a curious expression.Cora..? who was Cora..*

The attendant took a leap back as Vince hissed at him, fearing for his life for a moment, despite his huge size advantage, but also the next piece of information. His voice quivered as he spoke, "Um, I'm sorry sir, we did not know that you had known of your condition. Though we are much more worried about the level of magical energies flowing through your body. Nearly 30% of your brain is active that shouldn't be and the magical energies we're drawing from you are through the roof. They are similar in nature to the man being cared for in the infirmary, but slightly different."
Slight twitches of pain ran across Tor's face as his mind ran through the past day. He kept mumbling Kalie's name over and over again, apoligizing, damning Soulscour, pledging to help her, loving her. He began making quite a commotion, mostly incoherent screams that seemed somewhat similar, though completely wrong in inflection, as the speech he had with The Serpent. An orderly rushed over with a nurse, aiming to calm him down, with force if neccessary.

Vince rubbed his forehead softly, closing his eyes and motioning him over. "I won't bite, jesus. Now, what does all this mean, exactly mean?" He arched a brow and opened his eyes, watching quietly.

*Noticing that perhaps, they were more then just harmless mutterings, Kalie bolted upright from where she had curled up and did her best to hurry back across the bed. Frantically trying to take hold of Torment, before the nurses did..afraid they might restrain him more then necessary by mistake..as they were used to dealing with patients larger then the two resting on the bed.*
*Acting before she had a chance to really think it through, Kalie dropped herself, gently, onto his chest, a hand resting on either shoulder blade.. to push back against him if he stared to convulse in his sleep. While she leaned across her arm to whisper into his ear soothingly.*
"Torment.. you're okay now.. Soulscour is gone.. you're safe love.. "

The attendant moved closer to Vince, turning the chart so he could see the graphs of mental and magical activity, hoping he could make some sence of it, "We don't know what it means exactly, but maybe it would be best if you were to talk to the other guests. Clear up recent events and such."
Torment bolted awake, trying to thrash about and get kalie off him before he calmed and laid back on the bed, heart racing and small flames spurting up all along his body, though motly around Kalie as if she were a magnet of some sort. He took a few deep breaths as he slowly tried to regain his composure. He seemed well enough to be released even after such a taxing experience, and basically everything that had come down upon him. As he calmed her gently caressed Kalie's cheek and leaned up as if to kiss her, but remembered where they were, and with everyone watching, stopped, and slumped back down on the bed. His voice seemed refreshed and full of energy, "God you have no idea how good it feels to be called your love again. Ugh...when we go home I'm going to make sure that can never happen again. Having to put up with the normal you has to be better than the mind altered one that tries to kill me, well...maybe..." He smirked slightly, obviously his sence of humor hadn't died.

Vince nodded, shifting to a stand and looking up at him, staring him in the eyes and taking a deep puff, finishing his cigarette and crushing it out under his foot. "Good idea. Take me to them?"

*Smiling, she leaned down, and gave him a quick kiss to his forehead.. just a short one, more a playful sign of affection then anything..even with the nurses watching. Kalie didn't care... it had been too long for her, being away and then close but not able to feel anything..*
*Lightly chuckling at his comment, her eyes came alive with an impish glint. Moving her lips close to his ear, Kalie began to speak.. while being subtle enough, that the other attendants wouldn't hear.*
"mm..yes.. but where would you rather have the 'violence' focused.. on you.. or the fields and clouds as an after effect..."

The attendant nodded and began leading Vince towards the Infirmary, "This way, if you would sir."
Torment was about to respond as an attendant came running in, having been sent with the test results from Vince as soon as they were finished. At the first words Torment was distracted from Kalie, as impossible as it might seem, "Doctor! We have the results on the demon guest. His mental activity and magical affinity are through the roof. We can't even gauge his magical ability." Here Torment blinked slightly and whispered to himself, though loud enough for Kalie to hear, "Son of a ******** b***h...."

Vincent followed without thought, sighing as they reached the infirmary, not caring to wait on the other about going in. He just stepped in, standing in the corner and waiting for a moment to see if someone addressed him

*At the sight of Vince, Kalie lightly quivered.. her most recent memories of him involving Soulscour.. right before he had trapped her within the cage and cuffed her to the floor.. Swallowing nervously she looked away, while gripping at the bed sheets and Torment for comfort.*

One of the Titans lifted Vince up onto the bed so they could address them all at once. Torment held Kalie close to reiterate the fact that he wasn't going anywhere for now. The Doctor looked over the charts and looked to the trio, "It seems that Vince, is that what you called him? Yes, Vince here has retained some of the traits of the evil recently expelled from him, this Soulscour as you called him. Supremely increased mental activity and magic that we can't even measure. I daresay it is of these...Epic Seeds as you call them."
The Doctor handed the chart over to a Nurse, who promptly screamed "Vampire!" And ran off in fright. The Doctor shook his head and slapped his forehead with his massive hand, "The help these days..." Torment shifted so as to sit on the bed a bit more comfortably with Kalie off to one side. He seemed to be questioning both the possibility that it could happen and for facts, to both the Doctor and Vince, "How in the name of hell could something like that could have happened? Epic magic isn't just transfered like that! Extreme training and opening of the seeds must take place, along with the massive amount of energy needed to bridge the gap. That and he's just damn ugly, scarin' my girl, oput like a plastic bag over him, entirely." The last part was sarcasm, obviously.
((Or was it!? ^_^))
