133. Omission

[Out of the tunnels and into the plaza comes one very tired ninja, limping. Anyone lingering in the area will see a very surprised face...at all the snow.]

Whoa. Winter. ...I wasn't gone that long right?

[It's cold and she has no coat to speak of, but as she looks around, she realizes the fountain is about as far as she thinks she can go on her own. Time to sit on its edge, open that journal and see what the heck is going on. ...And let people know she came back. At least it wasn't like she was kidnapped or something.]

Hey! Nobody told me I should've been ready for a blizzard.

I could use a little help though.

You're set up just fine. [She'll just quietly get started, changing over to the filial magic to get a better sense of the wounds and encourage the healing process to speed up.]

[Her side and left forearm are the worst, and the reason she's been so cautious about moving. That's the attack that ended her last fight, and thankfully, her part in the mission too. The limp actually comes from a lot of strained muscles, but mostly a swollen ankle.

Already tired, once Raine starts in with serious magic, Sheena will be shaking her head to keep herself awake.]

[The magic takes up her concentration, so there's no real time for talking as Raine begins to heal her in earnest, seeking out the more serious wounds to focus on, though the lighter ones aren't ignored when they're encountered. At the very least things should start feeling better; refreshed, restored. At least, that's always her aim with the magic.]

[It does feel better, as always. Once it reaches the point where she actually feels like she can do so, Sheena turns her head to watch Raine at work. There's not a lot to see, but she wants to know if Raine starts to look worried. ...More than she already does, concentrating like that.

Still. It's nice to come back and not have to be afraid you'd bleed to death before someone found you.]

[Raine's expression remains neutral for the most part, as she works. There's a hint of slight frowning when she finds those deeper wounds to focus on. Thankfully they're not as bad as they could be, but there's only so much she can do with her abilities.

At the very least, the surface scrapes and scratches should all be healed over by now. There's nothing she can do for the blood loss, but that's always been a downside to magic.]

[At least Sheena's had about a day to sleep off the blood loss. Once she was patched up to the best of their ability they left her alone for a while. Raine probably won't be able to move too far on the ones with stitches either, but there'll be something.

When she's finished Sheena's eyes will be closed. It's a wonder she's still even sitting up. Though if Raine didn't get to that ankle, that's probably the reason she's not asleep entirely.]

[She gets to the ankle last, spending some time trying to make sure the muscles are refreshed, and then focusing her energy to deal with the sprain itself. It still shouldn't be walked on immediately, so Sheena resting is probably for the best, but at least she'll no longer have to deal with the limp once all is said and done.]

[She doesn't want to interrupt, but something's been on her mind for a while now.]

You've...really had to take care of me a lot lately. Sorry about that.

... That isn't something you have to apologize for.

Yeah it is. If I did a better job of not getting all beat up or doing stupid stuff...this wouldn't keep happening.

Then do a better job. Just don't apologize for circumstances not in your control.

[And she'll go right back to focusing on that sprain. Her voice doesn't sound terse or anything -- she just knows if she says too much about it, she'll be being a hypocrite.]

Yeah...right.

[Because it should be easy not to be clumsy or surprised or...well, less competent of a ninja than she actually is.]

[It'll take a few minutes more before she's anywhere near satisfied that she's done a good job, herself. She'll cast another first aid spell on top of it, but right now, Sheena probably needs the rest more than anything else.]

[when it feels like Raine's done, Sheena turns her ankle a little, looking relieved when it doesn't hurt.]

Thanks. ...You could've done less and forced me to stay in bed, y'know. [with a tired grin] Now I'm gonna argue if you try to make me stay here.

I think you're still far too tired to argue. Get some rest, Sheena.

There's not an extra bed? I don't wanna take up yours.

The other room hasn't been aired out for a while, so I'll take care of that while you rest. Now stop fighting.

You're not gonna give up, huh?

[Even though she's shaking her head, Sheena knew she was never winning this argument anyway. Soon, exhaustion is going to beat them both. Being careful still because of the soreness, Sheena turns onto the side that wasn't injured and puts her head on the pillow. One hand fumbles around a little before untying her hair ribbon]

Don't worry about it. It'll be fine.

Don't let me sleep here for too long.

[Eyes already closed. She's on top of the bedspread with no blanket but it doesn't seem to bother her. At least she took off her shoes when she came in.]

Just rest for as long as you need to. If you're still asleep by the time dinner's ready, I'll get you for that.

Oh...'s before dinner?

[She's had zero sense of time either. Don't worry though, Raine, you won't need to answer. Sheena's asleep within the next minute.]

[Once Sheena's well and truly asleep, Raine simply gets an extra blanket from the hall closet to drape over her so she doesn't get chilled.]

[oh, she's out cold. The sun came up and down, but Sheena couldn't tell anyone how many times, or how much she was awake in the day versus the night. Without dinner to interrupt (though it should, it's been at least a day since she's eaten), she'd probably sleep right through the night]
