Where...? Oh, right. The clinic. ...Damn. Did it hurt this much before? These wings...really sensitive.

...I'm really out of it, huh? But...but thanks. Lloyd, and Kratos...hope you didn't wear yourself out o-on my account. ...A-And Lavi...and Daisya. ...For talking. Think I owe you a lot.

'S easier to breathe, too. D-Did someone...?

I'm not worried. *though she does wonder why people keep telling her not to worry*

*arrives a short while later, having charmed his way past the nurses*

Hey there. *smiles, not showing his shock at the bandages; moves over to stand close to the bed* How're you holdin' up, Princess?

[corrinesbell]

Hey. *smiles back tiredly* 'S a chair...if y-you want it...

*she can't really lie to Lavi, either* Mm...hurts. A lot. But...rather be here l-like this than...

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

*pulls up the chair and sits beside her, carefully taking her hand*

Yeah, I imagine. *squeezes her hand lightly* 'Least here you're gonna start gettin' better, yeah?

[corrinesbell]

*squeezes back* Yeah. ...N-Never break a wing. You...can't even see straight, f-from... *stops and closes her eyes, looking just slightly sick* Never m-mind.

*has a feeling he'd appreciate this story, though* You r-remember how I mentioned, once...that I was a summoner?

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

*nods, understanding* You don't gotta say anythin' more 'bout it.

*looks curious* Yeah?

[corrinesbell]

*sits up the way she's been doing, propped up on one arm. No one's heard this story yet, so she's just a little pleased about being able to tell it*

L-Lost the summoning, here. Not enough mana to call s-spirits. But...when I g-got there...they had me, I dunno how...just, knew I could do it again. Not at f-first, but...later.

*takes a break for a moment, closing her eyes before continuing*

So...started slow. I did...what they asked, first. One at a time. ...They got stupid. A-At the end...called them all out. *another pause* Ten. Took...too much energy, b-but... *opens her eyes and smirks* destroyed stuff.

They...d-didn't like that. 'S how I got l-like this. *gestures to her left wing, which twitches in response. She makes a kind of strangled noise, holding onto Lavi's hand tighter than she intends to*

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

*listens carefully, absorbing the story, squeezes her hand back in support* Heh... you got 'em, huh? Showed 'em they can't just do whatever they want with us. *smiles* Good job. We all gotta keep fightin' like that.

*concerned about her wing, though, and tries to get her to lie back down* Bet that hurts like hell, though. S'gonna heal up fine, right? Y'need rest.

[corrinesbell]

'Bout t-time...s-someone did. *she's deliberately not telling him everything. Some of it she doesn't want to remember*

Y-Yeah...it does. Can't even...move much, w-without bothering it. *she does lie down again, wincing at the pull on her ribs* When they...set it... *goes pale at the memory* ...They s-said...yeah. It'll be...sore, for a while...but it b-broke clean, so...
