[somewhere outside, a slender woman in black is pointing a sword at a five-year-old girl. The girl is unfazed.]

Ah, no, that's alright. I think I'll stay in this body for a while.

[inthewry]

...!

You've recovered, I see.

((happy to pick up tomorrow -- my wrists are going to give out soon tonight anyway ^^))

[shutup_vlad]

Yesterday. Guess that makes it a week, all told.

[inthewry]

Sorry about that. Did it hurt much?

[shutup_vlad]

No, but it's one of the strangest nightmares I've ever had.

[inthewry]

Your soul was alert while it was wandering?

[shutup_vlad]

For the dying part, and then I woke up in my office back home.

[inthewry]

Home...outside of camp? I wonder how many of us that happened to.

[shutup_vlad]

Who knows? I think it was mostly a dream, but it was a good time to think.

[inthewry]

Maybe a dream, maybe something else. It seems to have been more than that for Medusa, and for me...

Capell says there's no scar, but I expect you have a more practiced eye.

[shutup_vlad]

[leaning in to get a closer look]

Only a very old one.

[inthewry]

[happily, girl-voiced]

That's not so bad, then. Healing's never been my strong suit.

[shutup_vlad]

No? It's a very nice job, though.

[inthewry]

[this voice is probably not feminine at all, because that's just how I work]

You always know just what to say to a girl.

[shutup_vlad]

[I liked it better when you looked liked that and didn't do that. One out of two's okay though.]

I try.
