If I think of anything you might have left off, I shall let you know immediately, Break-san.

I know the clinic is generally impeccably stocked, but is there anything that you've been using a great deal of? Better replenish early.

I scattered the supplies around, and most of it survived. Mostly, we need water, bandages, and bedsheets.

The garden is ruined, and if anyone had any of the saplings I distributed and they are still living, we are going to need them to start again.

[She looks surprised to see him, but immediately comes closer to take some of the load off his arm.]

Break-san, you did not have to come yourself!

I had an ulterior motive. The smoke inhalation is getting a little troublesome, I thought I might pick up some of your tea.

[Smiling.]

If there's not a shortage.

I have something better than that if you have a few minutes, Break-san. And you're welcome to take some tea back with you when you leave.

[She leads the way into the building and puts down her load into one of the empty bedrooms. She'll be sorting them out and using the ones that are not whole to make more bandages.]

If you'll just have a seat, this will only take a moment.

How have you been holding up, Milady Healer?

[He asks, solicitously, easing himself down in his seat with a laugh.]

Too wise to exhaust yourself in a fit of self-sacrifice, I hope?

[She moves behind him, her hands already glowing softly, and lightly touches his back through his clothes.]

I could not afford to let myself run thin. In battles, healers sometimes have to make tough choices, and preserving our onw lives and forces is the priority.

Very few people here understand that sort of decision making."

[He admits, sighing in relief.]

There was something else I wanted to talk to you about.

[Offline] Sorry, I'm so late, do you mind finishing up here?

[bunny_flower]

Unfortunately. I wish we just didn't have to make it.

... What is it, Break-san?

[offline] no worries!

[mister_hatter]

I'm worried we're on the brink of real inter-citizen violence.

Are you worried that something could happen to John Mandrake and Hino Rei?

[She intensifies her energy a bit to cleanse his lungs as much as she dares given the state of his body.]

[mister_hatter]

I'm worried that something will happen to the person who tries to make something happen to either of them.

[Sighing in relief. She's a miracle worker.]

That, indeed, would not be good. Hopefully, Mandrake-san's friend's warning will keep people at bay.
