77. After

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena made it about halfway back from Raine's on one burst of feeling okay again, but now she's sitting against the outside wall of a random building, head in her hands again. Think the building belongs to you and an intruding ninja is bothersome? Feel free to tell her so. She might flick a few of her molting yellow feathers at you]

Hey Regal.

[lezareno_prez]

Are you all right?

[corrinesbell]

Yep. Nothing to worry about.

[lezareno_prez]

You don't look well at all.

[corrinesbell]

[thanks, Regal, you look great too]

'Cause I'm not...possessed anymore. I think it's happening to everyone.

[lezareno_prez]

[And then he notices the feather-shedding.]

Your wings... how long has this been going on?

[corrinesbell]

[flicks her wings a little and a shower of bright feathers hits the ground]

A few hours.

[lezareno_prez]

[He's going to kneel down beside her for a better look.]

May I see? Perhaps my healing will be able to do something.

[corrinesbell]

Sure. [sits up a little, trying not to look too dizzy] I dunno if it'll work, but it's worth a try.

[lezareno_prez]

[Have a warm, glowy green light as Regal tries to heal your wings. It probably won't do much, though.]

[corrinesbell]

[have some more feathers for your trouble. And the wings underneath look a lot smaller already than what they did while she was possessed]

[lezareno_prez]

[That's... strange. The wings underneath look perfectly healthy; there's no blood or discoloration whatsoever. Maybe this really is just molting, but then why would Sheena seem to be ill?]

[corrinesbell]

...You haven't talked to anyone else who's like this, have you?

[lezareno_prez]

No, I have not, but given that your wings appear to be returning to normal, it's quite likely that others are experiencing the same thing as well.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. ...Raine is too. And on top of it she's got Genis to take care of.

[lezareno_prez]

She did mention she was feeling ill; I simply didn't connect it to this.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah.

[head going back in her hands now. The healz helped a little, though]

[lezareno_prez]

If you need assistance getting back home, I will help you.

[corrinesbell]

Right now I just wanna sit. Gimme a minute.

[lezareno_prez]

Of course.

[Don't mind if he sits down next to you, then.]

[corrinesbell]

[hey, it's not her random house she's sitting on. He can do whatever he wants, anyway, he's Regal]

[lezareno_prez]

[Damn right he can.]

[corrinesbell]

[yay, those awful dizzy and sick feelings have passed again, for the time being, and she slowly gets up and brushes her hands together]

[lezareno_prez]

[Knowing how self-reliant Sheena is, all he's going to do is extend a hand to her. It's up to her whether she wants to take it or not.]

[corrinesbell]

...Thanks.

[because falling over in front of Regal would be way more embarrassing and she's trying not to seem reckless these days, she takes the hand]
