Being someone else for a few days had grimly affected Dayna. There were the obvious consequences. For one thing, it hurt. Most of it she fortunately didn't remember, but what she could was excruciating. She also had a faint recollection of Vila assisting her, which mean that she would owe him a debt. Maybe by some miracle she would happen

Vila had been worried for Dayna, of course as soon as the all clear went out he rocketed himself to his room and curled up with his old friend alcohol to calm his frazzled nerves. Nerves re energized Vila was out on the prowl once more, hands in pockets, whistling along, he wondered if he should stop by Dayna's room to see if she was all right for sure when he saw her coming along.

"Oi! Dayna. Glad to see you up and about."

It was fortunate that they'd been through all that they had been through, or he would have been more difficult to face. Still there was a nagging hint of embarrassment when he called her name, one that she wouldn't let show on her face.

"Look at you, the usual Vila. Knowing your luck you probably didn't get sick at all. It does work in all of the wrong ways, doesn't it?" She leaned against the railing of the promenade, crossing her arms and regarding him carefully.

"Thank you, by the way."

"I have all the luck when it comes to that sort of thing I suppose. Must be all the alcohol. I have preserved myself. My DNA can not be tampered with and I am immune to all diseases. Just wish it made one immune to pain as well." He laughed lightly. Vila looked sheepishly at the ground for a moment, grinning. "Wasn't a problem. I'm just glad to see you're ok."

There. Sentiment over. Now to get back to taunting Vila. That would certainly make the universe normal again.

"If there ever was proof that alcohol was a sanitizing agent it's the fact that your blood could withstand the rigors of the worst disease. Though if I recall it didn't do much to keep that sand from sapping your strength." She thumped his shoulder manishly and started walking. He would follow or he wouldn't, though it being Vila she suspected that he would follow.
