== tl;dr ==
[[Pawn]] learns of [[Lyonette]]'s distress. He visits her every day. Each time he asks her if she is well. Eventually Lyonette snaps at him for praying she will receive her lost class. Pawn goes into a deep depression.

== Synopsis ==
[[Pawn]] leads a prayer in the [[Free Hive|hive]] and is satisfied with the progress in individualising [[antinium]], but not happy, aware there’s still something lacking. Eager for help he heads to the [[The Wandering Inn|inn]] the next day and meets [[Ksmvr]] on the way, who informs him of [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette’s]] emotional state. Concerned he rushes in and finds out that Lyonette didn’t confide in [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]. Erin leads him to her.

Lyonette admits she lost her [<nowiki/>[[List of Classes/M-Z|Princess]]] class, and that though it shouldn’t surprise her it saddens her. She tells him some of what it means to be a princess, how it’s a different world than being a [<nowiki/>[[List of Classes/A-L|Barmaid]]] in [[Liscor]]. He offers to pray for her to get it back, but Lyonette tells she doesn’t ‘need’ the class. Instead he prays for her to get better. Back at the hive the individuals realise Pawn’s distraction and are agitated by it.

The next day Pawn’s back to talk with Lyonette and inquires about her feelings regarding her lost class, but she dismisses his concerns, then gets annoyed when he questions her easy dismissal. Hesitant to leave yet, Pawn asks her for advice regarding his bored antinium. While they hash out some ideas, Pawn can’t shake the feeling Lyonette’s continued smile is only put on.

The next day, after informing Lyonette about his progress realising those ideas, Pawn asks if she is well, which Lyonette confirms. As this repeats for a few days, [[Yellow Splatters]], [[Purple Smile]], and Pawn’s antinium in general get increasingly agitated and depressed as Pawn’s focus, care, and prayers are directed elsewhere. After a week Lyonette gets fed up with Pawn’s attention and confronts him. Pushed into a corner Pawn admits to his prayers for her class to return, Lyonette explodes at him. She refuses his prayers, his care, his help. 

Pawn leaves and falls into a deep depression, refusing any interaction and food. Not even [[Klbkch]] can order nor force him out. Klbkch gets Erin to sort Pawn out. Inwardly Pawn doesn’t want the help, but at the same time a tiny part of him hopes for her to make things right again.
