Uhm.

I-I'm sorry for, uh, I mean-- I don't-- I've b-been making a-a lot of posts, a-and, um, sorry.

Uh! Right, well-- I, um, I'm l-looking for... a-a healer? I mean it's-- it's not an urgent thing, I-I'm-- I'm not, l-like, dying on th-the floor, b-but... I was, there was, uh.

[An extended, awkward pause.]A-A while ago, I mean, I... got hurt. A-

[Yuna doesn't hesitate to respond.]

I think I should be able to heal you...[Well, she OUGHT to. Part of Yuna's duty is healing the wounded.]

Where can I find you?

[Audio]

[brittlenerves]

[That was a faster reply than Xanth expected!]

U-Um, uh--

D-Deck, uh, e-eleven... y-you know the-- the one w-with the fire? U-Um, uh, room-- two two e--eight o-one.

Or-- we could m-meet someone c-closer to y-you?

[summonupastorm]

Our rooms are on the same deck, it's no trouble. I will be there shortly.

[Yuna's comm clicks off, and it's about a minute or two before she reaches Xanth's room. There's a brief knock at the door.]

It's me...ah, Yuna. [She probably should have introduced herself, beforehand.]

[Before he can even clean up, suddenly a knock on his door! He opens it up with a sheepish look on his face. His appearance is unkempt (messy hair, shirt not buttoned all the way up, bare feet) and he looks like he's been missing sleep.

His right arm is no longer in a sling, but he's still doing most things with his left - opening the door, for example.]

H--Hi. I, um, I'm-- I'm Xanth. Th-thank you so much, f-for this. C-Come in?

[Xanth steps back and opens the door. His room is a bit of a mess, too: his bed is a pile of pillows, books lie around in unorganized piles, and trinkets litter his desk.]

I'm-- I'm sorry, f-for the mess. I-- I thought I'd, uh, get a minute b-before someone, uh, a-answered.

[Commentlog]

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna doesn't really care about the state of Xanth's room or his unkempt appearance, but he doesn't look like he's been resting, and he had originally posted because he was injured. Yuna cares about that.]

There's no need to apologize. [She steps inside and looks over at Xanth.] Could you please show me where you were hurt?

[Yuna be srs about this healing business, bro.]

[Commentlog]

[brittlenerves]

[Xanth closes the door behind Yuna and then nods.]

R-Right. Sure. Um.

[He undoes his shirt and gingerly takes it off. There are bandages wrapped around his chest that extend to his right shoulder and upper arm.]

These, uh, there's-- I-I have, uh, big-- big scratches, d-down my back and um, on m-my arm, up here. [He runs his left hand just over the bandages on his shoulder.] And-- I think m...my arm came loose? I-Inside? I mean it g-got put back in, but...

[Commentlog] GOTTA HEAD TO BED SORRY OTL

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna listens to Xanth, inspecting the condition of his body and the bandages as he speaks.]

Is there still pain in the joint? Or are you sure it was properly realigned?

[She frowns slightly.] How long ago were these bandages put on? [Might need to change those, too, along with taking care of everything else.]

[Commentlog] IS OKAY, NO WORRIES <3

[brittlenerves]

[Xanth flushes faintly under Yuna's gaze. Being stared at by a stranger, even with medical assistance in mind, is uncomfortable.]

Y-yeah, it still hurts a--a little, but... I-I think it was p-put back in right. A-And, uh... w-well I changed th-them this morning, s-so they should be a-alright.

[Commentlog]

[summonupastorm]

That's good. [Yuna pauses momentarily...yeah, Xanth probably isn't very comfortable having her stare at him like that, what with barely knowing each other and all. She offers him a small smile, may as well try to make him a little less anxious as she does this.]

This shouldn't take too long. [Assuming the Elegante didn't take away her healing magic, like it did with her ability to summon. Yuna isn't sure as to whether or not his wounds are infected, but it would probably be a wiser idea to cast Esuna just to be sure.

Breathing deeply, Yuna casts the spell, briefly surrounding Xanth with a deep, pink light. Barely a minute passes before she casts the next spell - Cure had worked well enough for healing those who were injured in Operation Mi'ihen, and those with more major wounds required a Hi-Potion. Seeing as Yuna doesn't have the latter aboard the Elegante, she's hoping that Cure will do the trick. It should, though, since Xanth's injuries had already started healing before the call for a medic.]

Does everything...feel alright?

[Commentlog]

[brittlenerves]

[Xanth smiles in return, but it's nervous.]

O-Okay.

[He keeps still as the light begins to shine. It's a little strange, but then, getting healed back home was strange the first time too.

Two spells later and Xanth feels much better - the lingering ache on his back and the twinge from his shoulder are both gone. His smile brightens.]

It-- it's gone! I mean, th-the pain, it-- it's all better!

[To test this further, he rolls his shoulders and stretches his arms. He stops partway through the motion and frowns, peeking over to look at his back again.]

[Commentlog]

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna's smile grows wider once she hears that Xanth feels better.] I...am glad I could help.

[She notices Xanth glancing at his back, though.] Ah, we should probably remove the bandages.

[Not like he really needs them, anymore.]

[Commentlog]

[brittlenerves]

Y...yeah. Um, there's-- some scissors o-over here... [He grabs them off his desk and then hands them to Yuna.]

[Commentlog]

[summonupastorm]

Thank you. [Yuna takes the scissors and gently works to cut the bandages away, only to notice the stitches that were still in Xanth's body. She...probably should have checked for those, first.]

Oh. [Um.] I can take those out, just give me a moment.

[Commentlog]

[brittlenerves]

[Xanth sees those stitches. Those were what he felt, and he wishes he'd mentioned them to Yuna before all that magical healing light.

Still, he offers her another smile.]

Th-thank you.

[Commentlog]

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna acknowledges Xanth's thank you with a small nod before going to work on removing those stitches. She's careful to remove them as gently as possible - hopefully it won't hurt so much.]

[Commentlog]

[brittlenerves]

[It doesn't hurt. It feels absolutely bizarre, but it doesn't hurt. He keeps still as she removes the stitches and tries to focus on something else.

What comes to mind is only whether or not he'll have the scars from the attack.]
