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]

[ This is totally a long while after he woke up in the forest and was healed by Martel. Anyway he's walking about rather slowly, left hand shading his sensitive eyes. At least he's not coughing anymore; but he's tired, and it takes him a minute to recognize that face, that girl who'd tried talking to him before he fought Sasuke.

In a minute he hunkers down two or three feet away, and says nothing. Red and orange feathers fly about everywhere as he molts. ]

[picks up her head when she hears someone close by, but drops it again when she sees who it is]

Itachi.

[lezareno_prez]

[You don't look too good, Sheena, so Regal is going to come over to make sure you're all right.]

Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

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.]
