Room 308, early Wednesday morning

[smartestone]

Hermione didn't really sleep last night, or at least didn't sleep that well. She kept waking up to scratch at her hand, or was doing so while half-asleep. Around sunrise she finally gives up and sits up, pulling off the bandage she'd put on to study it

Rikku rubbed her eyes, sitting up. "'Ermi-ne?" she mumbled. Way too early.

She sat up a bit more when she saw her roommate touch the bandage. "Hey. What's wrong?"

"I seem to have been bitten by something," she says, making a face at her hand. "I'm pondering a clinic visit later."

Rikku hopped out of bed and walked over to her roommate, noticing how the ugly swelling was creeping out from behind the bandage.

"Whoa. That looks infected." She crouched down. "How bad does it hurt?"

[smartestone]

"It's fine unless I bend my hand." She demonstrates, wincing a little. "I'm sure they could lance it and it would be fine, but look at this."

She pulls off the bandage again, letting Rikku see the little greenish lines spreading out from the bite.
