selphie_t | 76th Draw - A little bit louder and a little bit worse [open action/backdated to saturday afternoon]

[The Malnosso seemed to have decided to be nice to Selphie for a change.

Kinda.

They drop her off in the village alright but she's banged up and been bitten more than once. Fighting shift hunters for the past few days has been exhausting and they didn't seem to want to let her sleep at all so she while she may be walking of her own power, it's not very well or very fast. There's a limp to her step as well and her arms are crossed over her chest in an attempt to keep some bit of warmth inside.

Her dress is will stained with fresh and dried blood as she eventually sits down somewhere and huddles in on herself for warmth. Seriously Malnosso, would it kill you to send your mallynap victims back with boots in the colder months? At any rate, if someone happens upon her, the perky brunette is pretty banged up. Most of the wounds are pretty fresh and thanks to wandering about barefoot and an attempt at escape from their Lab, there's bruises everywhere along with the odd burn but those wounds are pretty fresh and better cleaned before they get infected.

Are you game to help a gal out, Luceti?]

[ooc note: Selphie's mallynap effect will make her impervious to the effects of any healing magic meaning that she's gonna have to heal the hard way.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Nothing serious that a little tender loving care won't fix. There might be sharp intake of breath at the slight movement from overused muscles.

Pardon the deadpan sarcastic comment, Mia. It's not directed at you.]

Ow.

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me cover these burns, and then I'll let you sleep, all right?

[that was courtesy. She's not actually waiting for permission. She'll just do it.]

That sounds like a plan to me.

[Selphie's already falling asleep just sitting there on the edge of the bed.]

[This would be so much easier if her Psynergy was working. Once Selphie's back and wings are as clean as she can get them, Mia takes her arm to help her turn and lie down]

And by the time you wake again, you'll be all cleaned up. [Probably. Then there's the matter of letting people know Selphie's returned.] Who should know you're back?

[Selphie gets herself turned and with every aching part of her body, gingerly lies down on the bed. Her body is protesting some of the movement but she breathes a sigh of relief.

Oh right... people who need to know.]

Ceodore will wanna know right away. There's so many people who would wanna know...

[YAWN.]

Just let everybody know, please?

[She's too tired and can't really think of many specific names.]

Of course. Rest now.

[really, Mia prefers this. With Selphie asleep, she doesn't have to worry as much about her being in pain, or moving around, while she works. Some of these injuries would not be a great experience to have tended while conscious.

And this way, she can be brisk and serious without worrying about reassuring Selphie at every turn. It's smoother for everyone. Mia will start with the worst injuries she can see.]

[Selphie yawns again before letting her eyes close. She's out like a light within minutes of her head hitting the pillow. Mia, she'll be the best, most cooperative patient ever. Aren't you proud?]

[very proud. Mia will take her time, knowing she can and should. It may be a while, but it will end with Selphie's wounds tended and dressed, and with her covered in a few warm blankets. She leaves that ankle for last - once it's cared for, she will open her journal and make a short written note about the girl's return and location.

Then, she'll pull the chair over, to sit and wait. And hold her hand, just in case]

[Selphie's hand periodically balls her fists in the sheets but doesn't wake during the treatment. Some sort of dream is running its course in her mind.

Once Mia begins holding Selphie's hand though, the dreams turn to peaceful thoughts.]

[It's frustrating her to no end that she can't help Selphie more than this. There's a lot to be said for rest, but...there's a lot to be said for not spending days (or weeks, for that ankle) in bed and in pain.

Beside her on the bed the journal is open, in case anyone responds to her message.]

[Frey had been surprised to see that Selphie was in the clinic and he doesn't even bother with a written reply- surprise is clear in his tone.] Selphie?

What happened?!

[The voice startles her out of her thoughts. Picking up the book with her free hand, Mia looks down at it with a gentle frown]

She's asleep. Please try not to wake her.

[He lowers his voice, but concern is still clear.] What happened?

[Life is so much easier when people just listen.]

It sounds like the Malnosso are at the source of all of her injuries. But she's resting now, and she will be all right. Are you a friend?

I am..... I have not seen her since I returned.

Good.... I would like to come see her, if I may.

I don't think she will be awake soon...but you may. If you promise to be quiet.

Alright. I'll be there soon. [And he heads out, heading towards the clinic. He'll be there soon enough, stepping inside.]

[she didn't get a chance to tell him the room. But it's one of the first ones, and Mia is just sitting quietly inside. The door is slightly open.]

[He'll check them all until he gets the right one. Whe he does peek in to find Selphie in the bed, though, he'll step inside.] Thank you so much for helping her.

How badly....?

[Mia stands to greet him, offering him the chair by Selphie's bed if he wants it.]

Of course. She'll need a few days to rest, especially if her body keeps resisting any healing magic. [have a calm and reassuring smile, Frey] Everything will be fine. She's very tired, but rest will help.

[He nods in thanks, taking a seat.] I see.... I'm glad she's ok.

Ceodore told me they had taken her while I was gone.... [For someone only getting their memories back of this place, it was a bit disturbing.]

I'm afraid I do not know when it happened. She mentioned a day, but as for how long ago that day was...

[Dwelling on that won't help anyone in this room. She's back now, which is better to focus on.]

Would you like me to get you anything? [Frey seems like he's going to be here for a while.]

....May I stay here until she wakes up? She's going to need someone to take her back to her place. Ceodore should probably be informed, as well, if he hasn't already.

Of course you may. Her injuries aren't quite serious enough to force her to stay here, once she has rested.

[The note went to everyone, so presumably he's been able to read it too.]

Will you be taking her to her apartment? It would be best if she didn't stay somewhere alone, at least for a while.

Yes, I plan to. Her boyfriend, Ceodore, lives with her, so she won't be alone.
