006 [Video] After the event, obvs.

[cellwave]

Now that the handcuffs are done, I wonder if anyone would help me heal this?

[Shal holds up his hand for the camera, looking sheepish. It's swollen and discoloured and his fingers are at odd angles and whoops, guess who has two thumbs and can only point at himself using one? This guy.]I broke it to slip out of the cuffs, but I guess they were

I can heal you.

[cellwave]

Ah, that would be nice. Should I have it set, first?

[lucky_breath]

No. I can fix it up!

[She's trying to sound cheerful! But it's sounding kind of forced.]

Where are you?

[cellwave]

Room 1091.

[It doesn't go unnoticed.]

But are you okay?

[lucky_breath]

[Juuust gonna grab her flute and key and magic book and be on her way then.]

I'm fine!

[Just the most important person to her in the whole wide keep is going through withdrawals (whatever those are) and he's angry and she's sure he doesn't like her anymore.

She's about to cry just thinking about it!]

I'm coming to your room okay?

[cellwave]

['I'm fine' my butt. But hey, not gonna pry.]

Yep! I'll be waiting!

[lucky_breath]

[There's a small tentative knock on Shal's door.]

[cellwave]

[Oh, someone's here! Shal pulls the door open, smiling despite the puffy, purpleish hand that rests at his side.]

Hi! You've got to be Aht from the journals, right?

[Commentlog]

[lucky_breath]

Yep that's me.

[Aht offers Shal a small, but bright smile in return.]

What's your name?

[Commentlog] super later sorry orz

[cellwave]

Shalnark.

[Come in, come in! He motions for her to enter, leaving the door open.]

So, you're sure you can heal this? I did mess it up pretty bad.

[The swollen hand is held out for Aht to examine.]

[Commentlog] No worries!

[lucky_breath]

[She follows him inside without any apprehension. Guess nobody gave her the stranger danger talk.

She doesn't even flinch at his hand. She's seen worse.]

Yeah. It'll be easy.

[With that, she grabs her flute and begins to play her healing melody. It's soft and soothing and any pain he's feeling should start ebbing away.]

[cellwave]

[Finally, someone who understands that it's not a big deal! Shal's taking to you already, Aht.

He hums softly to himself as his hand almost instantly starts feeling better.]

Wow, it's really working. Your powers really are something.

[lucky_breath]

[Aht smiles and plays the song again. She'll need a break after this one.]

I do this a lot back home.

[commentlog]

[cellwave]

I can tell.

[Oh yeah, that was already so much better. That's what they needed to recruit next, a healer.]

What's your range like? Do you have to be very close for this to work?

[commentlog]

[lucky_breath]

Close by. I've never tried it far away though.

[commentlog]

[cellwave]

You should test it out! If it works, it would be really useful.
