[Neil doesn't even seem to notice that his sphere turned on as he pokes his head out into the hall. He sees a couple security bots that just passed by on their way to Riku's room and frowns. Ducking back into his room, he grabs up his trusty stick and sneaks up behind them. Raising it above his head, he brings it down as hard as he can over one's

I'm staying at Riku's, where are you?

[mr_dynames]

Oliver's bringing me over there from my room, actually.

[fallen_cetra]

Should I stay here and wait for you two to get here, then?

[mr_dynames]

Yeah, I'm not so badly hurt I can't walk. [Oliver comes in, helps him out the door, and down the hall. Once in Riku's room, he finds a place to sit.]

[fallen_cetra]

Well, that is better than bleeding everywhere. This will only take a moment, and it might feel a little strange. [She comes into the room, standing by him as she bows her head. Hands clasped, she begins to murmur softly. It's a few moments before anything happens, and when it does, a soft wind kicks up in the room. It's a gentle breeze that stirs her hair and tugs at clothes, cool and soothing against the burn wounds. By the time the breeze dies, the burns are gone, leaving unmarred skin.]

[mr_dynames]

[He's about to respond when Aerith starts working her magic, and she was right, it did feel strange. When the breeze passes, he notices the pain's gone and checks where the burns were, finding nothing. He looks at her in surprise, then grins.]

Not even a scar! Thanks, miss.

[fallen_cetra]

You're welcome, Neil. Next time you might want to make sure you have a weapon that won't break so easily. [She smiles gently, shaking her head.]

[mr_dynames]

[laughs sheepishly] Yeah, I've learned my lesson, uh... Aerith, right?

[fallen_cetra]

Good, I'd hate to have to patch you up because you did something silly.

[She nods, clasping her hands behind her back and smiling.] Mm-hmm!

[mr_dynames]

I think I've done my stupid deed of the week.

[fallen_cetra]

Which means it'll be twice as stupid if you do it again, won't it?

[mr_dynames]

Yeah, but no need to worry about a repeat, my stick broke.

[fallen_cetra]

Hmm, there is that. [She taps her lip with a finger, smiling faintly.]
