[The Malnosso seemed to have decided to be nice to Selphie for a change

[But the hard way is so...hard.

At least she's in the village. Mia catches sight of a limping figure in the corner of her vision. No contest - turning to go to whoever that is right now. It's cold, and even if someone just twisted their ankle a little, there's no sense-

It's Selphie.

Sorry, that will be something of a run now. A run to get to her just after she sits, kneeling there in front of her and not even asking before casting Pure Ply.]

[Selphie can feel the magic but it brings no comfort as she looks up to see who is trying to heal her.

It's a tired smile and Selphie's about ready to drop from the exhaustion alone but she manages to stay away. Sheer force of stubborn will, gotta love it.]

Mmm... Mia?

[frost_jewel]

[When it doesn't work, Mia can't get the frown off her face.]

Selphie, what happened to you? Just look at you...

[And why won't the Psynergy work. This is bad.]

[action]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie shakes her head before letting it drop down again.]

They made me fight shift hunters. Why is it so cold?

[action]

[frost_jewel]

It's going to be winter soon.

[Shift hunters. ...Made her fight? Mia shakes her head to shut her own thoughts off, reaching for both of Selphie's hands]

Come on, you need to have your injuries seen to. I'll help you.

[action]

[boomchucka]

How long was I gone?

[Don't ask Mia. Selphie spots Mia reaching for her hands and lets the girl do so.]

I feel like I had a house thrown on top of me.

[Getting back up is not going to be fun.]

[action]

[frost_jewel]

I can't say for sure.

[She can lean pretty heavily on Mia to stand and walk. The girl is no slouch. To the best of her ability she'll make it as painless for Selphie as she can.]

Did you hit your head? [All the while gently getting her off the ground again]

[action]

[boomchucka]

It was tuesday when they nabbed me.

[There will be a great of wincing but eventually Selphie's back on her feet and grateful to be walking at least partially under her own power. However, she shakes her head slowly in response to Mia's question.]

My ears aren't ringing and I can see straight. I'm just tired; really tired.

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[At least that proves she didn't hit her head very hard.]

I don't know which. We'll talk more once you're settled, all right?

[they will be going to the nearest clinic. Whichever one that happens to be.]

[action]

[boomchucka]

[There might be of sour in her tone.]

We're going to the clinic aren't we?

[She's not entirely thrilled about heading there but it needs to be done so Selphie will just have to suck it up for a bit. She'll back on her feet soon enough.

Let's say for good measure that they're closest to the clinic in the village itself.]

[action]

[frost_jewel]

We have to. ...I won't apologize for that. Some of these wounds are serious, and you can't stay out here in the cold.

[Now, let's go. Mia's gentle, and she might not make her spend the night there.]

[action]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie can't and won't argue with Mia right now. A warm place the rest sounds really nice and Selphie's probably in need of some stitches anyway.]

Just as long as I get something warmer than a New Feather dress to wear, I'll put up with it.

[She'll even manage a small smile.]

[action]

[frost_jewel]

Oh. How foolish of me. Stand still, please.

[Mia is going to let go, very quickly put her cloak around Selphie's shoulders and fasten it, and then hold onto her again]

There.

[action]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie will wobble while doing her best to stand but the addition of the cloak is welcomed.]

Thanks, Mia.

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[It should be nice and warm, too. Not that she'll need it for long. Once they get to the clinic she should warm right up.]

You're welcome. Now don't waste your energy in talking.

[action]

[boomchucka]

[It is. Very warm and good at blocking out the cold. But the talking? Totally keeping her awake at the moment.]

And if I fall asleep on you?
