84. [voiced/action]

[corrinesbell]

[at first all that can be heard are muffled sounds of crying]

Zelos...you idiot.

[and the sounds continue. There's nothing else to say]

[...except that, as Sheena went absolutely overboard after Zelos, she isn't in any kind of good shape. She managed to make it from the site of the battle halfway to somewhere; she'd been separated from the group when she got angry, not wanting to have to look at him lying there. Long story short she's just on the ground somewhere sobbing and bleeding]

[doesn't quite smile this time either. She looks away again and curls up a bit, tired and hurting]

[She'll just scoot over to her a little more and keep stroking her hair.]

In a week or so... I plan on creating a feast for the village.

[corrinesbell]

[what is it exactly you want to celebrate? ...But if she's able to, Sheena will help]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

This week isn't a good time. But next... [That's when the dead people come back! That's what she mostly wants to celebrate, but also the winning of this war.]

When that time comes... I want all of this village to create their favorite meal from their world, then bring it to the middle of the town. If everyone does it, we'll have an entire buffet of exotic dishes from different worlds!

[corrinesbell]

[thinks that sounds kinda nice. It'll be relaxing and give everyone a chance to do something that isn't...stressful. As long as those who died have been returned]

Stella...

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Which is why she's waiting until that happens. :|b]

Mm?

[corrinesbell]

It...it's my fault.

[and she's worried that he'll never come back and that the rest of her crew is going to hate her for it. There's no one else she'd really talk to about it]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Why would you think it was your fault?

[corrinesbell]

Because...he was trying to help me when...

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it your fault. These sorts of things happen in battle. There are victims of war... and it's no one's fault except the person who created the war in the first place.

[corrinesbell]

[she just plain wishes he hadn't done it, really. And piled on top of how awful she physically feels...makes a very sad ninja indeed]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

He will return, Sheena, of that I am sure. Yet I know that the hardest part is waiting with the pain in your heart.

[Stella would give her a hug if she could, but for now she just continues to stroke her hair.]

I want you to be in good condition when you see him again. Will you allow me to heal you?

[corrinesbell]

[the looks she gets says she didn't need to even ask. And also thanks for saying that. ...And then a nod, for good measure]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Stella gives a relieved smile in response, and then she hovers her hands above Sheena's body and shuts her eyes, listening for the whisper of Nala's voice. After a moment's pause, a glow appears from her hands, and healing magic should soothe over Sheena's weary body.]

[corrinesbell]

[can't even convey to Stella how much that helps. If it keeps up for more than a few moments it might just put her to sleep]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[She hopes she gets some sleep, too. Sheena looks like she really needs it.]

[corrinesbell]

[oh yes. She's out cold now]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[She opens her eyes a bit and gives a little smile, then continues on healing. It'll take a lot of her energy away, but as long as Sheena's okay, that's good enough for her. Afterwards, she'll stroke Sheena's hair a little longer before standing and returning to her family.]
