Just trying to keep the swelling down.

[she purses her lips, and brings the napkin that's been soaked in cool water away to reveal a mark on her cheek. she looks displeased.]

The newcomers were fine. This came from someone else who is rather disgruntled with me right now.

Are you sure...? I've treated worse injuries than this before - it should sort itself out quickly enough.

[there'll be some bruising, but it's nothing terribly serious.]

Ah, well... are you familiar with Buzen and... [she frowns. what was his name, even.] ...Garou, I believe it was? They had a fight, but Buzen brought it to my attention that Garou had broken ribs before they even began fighting, and asked me to help treat him. However, he wouldn't stay still, so I put him to sleep for a little while so we could administer treatment. He was quite cross with me for that, but he seemed to have an easier time moving around today, so it seems the treatment was effective.

[she gestures at her face.]

He said this was to repay his debt.

Thank you, then. I appreciate it.

[she smiles, taking the pendant carefully and bringing it up to her cheek. the metal is cool - cooler than the water, at least - and some of the tension goes out of her shoulders. that helps.

it probably won't prevent a bruise from forming entirely, but it'll help keep the swelling down for now.]


Yes, that did seem to be the case. He does have quite a temper. But... I do think he may have taken it easy on me; he was quite violent with Buzen while we were attempting to treat him.

You're definitely right about that.

[it is so reassuring to have someone like chang geng around. she smiles, settling in a bit more comfortably and adjusting the metal against her cheek as she considers the rest of what he's saying.]

I'm keeping an eye on Buzen's arm, since Garou bit him. It's taking frequent reminders for him to be easy on it, but I think I was able to get through to him a little earlier.
