[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.

Don't worry. I cleaned it up, after.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Heh, sorry. ...Must've been a problem, you were...kinda crazy...

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... It was after that stopped. Honestly. It was only a few days.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Sorry. ...It was just really weird.

[looking pale and tired already]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I apologize if you were uncomfortable.

[Notices, and finishes up, casting another spell] There... that should do for now. Can't do too much at once, after all, and you do need your rest still.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You don't have to...do anything at all, Raine...

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[sighs a little and shakes her head]

Lay back down, Sheena.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah...okay.

[lays back down, coughing just a little]

How're Colette and Pearl?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

They're both doing well. They're also worried about you, though I suppose that's a given. And don't you say that they shouldn't be, either.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

No, they...probably should be.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Not 'probably'.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Heh. [Not admitting she's right, that would be losing]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Is there anything else you need? ... Mn, a change of clothes, perhaps, but other than that.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, that'd be good...

...I don't...wanna be imposing on Daisya and...that other guy...any longer than I have to.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I understand. Though you're not in any condition to make it back to the house on your own, yet...

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

I know. I don't even have the energy to try.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Perhaps in another day or so, we can see if anyone would be willing to... carry you over to the house? I'd rather not risk you walking for another few days at least ...

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

My legs are fine, aside from...where the bands were. I'll be okay.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Suddenly, incoming hypocrisy?]

You're exhausted, Sheena. Even if your legs are fine, that's still a lot you're asking of them. Just let us help you until then.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[we see your hypocrisy and raise you one deadpan stare]

Didn't say I was doing it now.

[Life is more normal when we're just barely rubbing each other the wrong way, isn't it?]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

That doesn't mean that you wouldn't attempt it later on.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

I'm not that stupid.

[anymore]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I wasn't saying that you were. Now, was there anything else that I can actually do something about?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

...Guess not.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... I'm sorry.
