What the heck is all this?
[She sounds angry, though it’s hard to tell. Her voice is ragged and she’s obviously exhausted, the starts of bruising forming underneath the skin of her face and arms.

[And she's darn proud of it, too.]

[As to her injuries, he . . . kinda feels inadequate here.] There ought to be a clinic somewhere close to you, but I'm not sure exactly where. [Because he's never had to go there.]

I'll find it soon, hopefully. I'm not going to fall apart in the meantime.
[Though, damn, she's really, really sore. At least she has a really high pain tolerance, and is good at hiding that limp.]

[She just shakes her head. There's no way.]
I was just with him. That's impossible.

[How's she even supposed to wrap her head around that? That's worse than any kind of magic she's been subjected to. Soul might not even be from the same time as her? And he'd really been here for MONTHS without her?]

Wait, you can fly? By yourself? [What the heck is with this place?] Uh, that's alright. I can walk. Maybe next time.
[Because she's not sure how comfortable she is with that at the moment.]
I'll probably wait to get looked at tomorrow, maybe? I'll be fine until then.

Mm-hm. [He nods.] Been able to do it for years. Are you sure you want to wait to see a doctor? You seemed to think it was pretty important a minute ago.

I just need some kind of treatment before I do anything too crazy, that's all.
[She pauses.]
It sounds like there might be someone who can help me out, anyway. With the injured part, anyway.
