46. Torn [Voice Post]

[the journal picks up a few quiet coughs, and a groan]

Nnn...m-my head...

...Huh? Wh-where...am I? ...Raine? L-Lloyd?  's this...th-the clinic? Can't remember.

...Thank goodness. Once you know where you are, could you... tell me whose house it is? I'd still like to see you.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

[a while later]

Daisya's house.

[voice]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Daisya, that's... [and after a few minutes of asking which number that is] Alright. I'll be there soon, but... I may take a while. [since she has to sneak out and be all stealthy while hiding from a psycho Cloud]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Mm. 's fine.

[And it does take her a while, for while she's walking fast, she keeps looking around and occasionally hiding behind something at any suspicious noises. Finally, though, she knocks on the door]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[assume for the sake of time that someone let her in?]

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Yes! \o/ And she'll immediately move to Sheena's bed, pulling up a chair and reaching to gently take Sheena's hand in her own]

Sheena...

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[she still has that sort of half-dead, overly sedated look]

Hi.

[Sad by what she sees, but she still gets right down to business]

Does anything still hurt? I could heal you further... [looking her over for injuries]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[she's still quite injured, because...]

Magic's n-not working. 'S some...some s-stupid drug of theirs...

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[frowns at that, worry increasing... then takes a deep breath to relax herself]

Here, let me try... [closes her eyes and holds her hands out over Sheena's body, and she moves her lips as if whispering something before a golden light shines from her hands. Along with Filial magic, though...]

Oh, blessed light... Cure!

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[wow. We did not know you could do that. Wow. That is much better.]

...Mmm. Thanks. That...really helped.

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[seeing that she's noticeably better, Stella smiles with relief and takes Sheena's hand again, this time with both hands] I'm glad... So glad.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

How're...y-you and Senel? ...And your baby?

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Senel's been struck by the experiment. Fortunately, it's nothing serious. He's simply more... in touch with his feminine side than he ever was before. It's quite endearing, really, though only a little worrying. As for the baby... [looks down at her tummy, where the bump is tiny, yet noticeable to those who look. And she gives a smile that can only be described as motherly pride] I think it's okay. I can already tell that it's strong.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[hearing that makes her smile]

Does it move yet?

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Not quite yet, no... But according to the books, I should be able to in a little more than a week. [lifts her head to smile at Sheena again, this time with a hint of excitement] I honestly can't wait for it, Sheena.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[squeezes the hand she's holding]

You'll be great.

[action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[blushes slightly, looking away to avoid eye contact] Ah, th... thank you, Sheena, that's... Do you really think so? I admit I've been having my doubts...

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Nope. T-Too late for doubts. That w-won't get you anywhere...anyway. You're just...gonna have to believe me.
