You're From The Isle If Anybody Asks
First Awareness
Those used to this by now probably knew what it meant when they felt their magic return for a moment. For the rest, suddenly their powers were back. Just for a few minutes, but a lot could be done in a few minutes. If the person even noticed their powers were back, that is.
Of course those on the shore might have seen the hazy indistinct shape through the barrier coming closer, might have seen the moment the hole in the barrier opened. Might have seen King Ben leading people down a gangplank through the barrier with crates of supplies....
Unions, Re And Otherwise
Once the supplies were unloaded, the barrier was sealed up again. King Ben seemed to be in charge during the unloading, Once the barrier was closed again, by the green magic streaming from the Queen's finger, it was Mal who seemed to be in charge.
"Alright, listen up. We have 2 hours and the clock is ticking. I'm not FG but we're keeping to a deadline anyway. If you want to come to Auradon or know someone you want us to bring back, you have 2 hours to convince us. You and everyone else, sharing the same 2 hours. Along with anyone who has a supply request for our next visit, or updates. Those of you bringing supplies to the school, time to get cracking. Two hours passes faster than midnight at the ball."
Those What Remain
Once those going back to Auradon had left and the barrier was back in place, it was for those who remained on the Isle to sort the supplies and figure out how to get done everything that needed to be done with the people that remained.
Foulques OTA
As was often the case, Foulques was out fishing. This, thankfully put him in a prime position to spot the approaching shape that could only be the boat. For those who might not recognize it however, Foulques abandoning his fishing earlier than usual might seem strange. He would answer questions if asked, but would be in a bit of a rush. There were things to gather and prepare before the young King and his cohorts arrived, and once they did, time would be limited.
Unions, Re And Otherwise
Foulques wasted no time approaching Ben and Mal. He gave them a nod by way of greeting before speaking up. "There are a number of matters I wish to discuss, but the first and most urgent is this," he said. "Have you any healers among your group? Some time ago, Professor Yen Sid was gravely injured in what we have evidence to indicate was an attempt on his life via sabotage. Chell and I have cared for him as best we are able, but though his visible wounds have healed, he has yet to regain consciousness. He is not a young man, and and I suspect that you need not be told that each day that passes without him waking increases the likelihood that he may never. If there is ought that any of you can do..."
Re: Foulques OTA
Chara had probably been with Foulques when the boat was spotted. Seeing him get up to abandon his fishing, the small child reached up to grab his sleeve. "What's wrong?"
Who did Chara have to kill for upsetting big brother?

After a brief pause, he said, "This is a far kinder world than yours or mine, and he is a King who has the luxury of extending kindness and clemency to all without fear. It is a luxury that many would find enviable... including myself."

Good place to wrap? Or did you want to skip ahead slightly to them in the room?

Makes sense to me. TY for the thread!
Re: Foulques OTA
"If I come to help, can you bring him here? Anyone who might be able to heal would probably need to be outside the barrier to heal..." Ben started.
Mal nodded. "If he was hurt by someone else on the Isle, it is possible their goal was to get us to leave the barrier open longer than usual. Taking him out to care for him on the boat makes more sense than taking that risk. If it is safe to move him."
no subject
"And not moving him would likely be far greater a risk, under the circumstances. Besides, he'll likely sustain far less dame when carried between us than he may have during his initial rescue; I didn't have the luxury of taking the time to be gentle when hauling him to relative safety."
*damage?
...Yeah damage. X3
He headed back along the path toward the school, knowing Ben would follow. As the passed through the path that had been cut through the briars, he spoke again. "I would be remiss if I didn't mention the efforts of River Song and Sun in investigating the explosion that injured the professor," he said. "In fact, were it not for River, I would have never thought to investigate it at all." He frowned. "Our would-be assassin was clever, choosing a method that was likely to be put down to a mere slip of the hand, or the general poor quality of the available equipment."

"A few of the other matters I wish to discuss pertain to him, actually. But they can wait until we've taken care of the Professor."

Any time now... Aaaaany time....
When they did open the barrier to leave again... it was a bit less dramatic than one might have been expecting. If Foulques hadn't been anticipating it, he might've even missed it at first -- a sense of Chell's presence there near him, on much the same sort of level of awareness that sometimes smaller clues could have amounted to, even without having consciously noted him standing there.
But what, exactly, came across might or might not have been any surprise whatsoever: while Chell's attention was turned toward Foulques, he wasn't pushing at all... more that it seemed his attention was... waiting? And he was about as calm as ever... discounting, at least, that bit of what seemed a mix of hope and mild excitement -- anticipation? It was enough to know he was looking forward to whatever the lancer might decide to try showing him, at any rate.
And if said lancer tried it... he might find that Chell's abilities worked both ways. While Chell's attention was on this particular task, if Foulques wanted to try getting a better look at him, in a sense... he very well could.
