I'm sure such things would give you wrinkles, and that would be a disaster for a performer!

Please, don't worry. It seems we all have somewhere to stay for now.

[galactically]

luckily my beauty is so powerful and everlasting that wrinkles won't be an issue :)

where are you staying?? i'm glad you won't be homeless!

I'm at Dionysus' temple. He's still recovering from his injuries, so I'm looking after him.

private text message

[galactically]

i don't know who that man is, but it's good to hear that you have a place to stay

[then another delay]

did you fight the ayakashi from days ago? were you hurt, too?

private text message

[reformedsinner]

Sha Gojyo. I wasn't badly hurt.

private text message

[galactically]

a friend of yours, right? just as long as you're okay, i'll be a happy woman
now don't exhaust yourself!!

private text message

[reformedsinner]

Yes, that's right.

Thank you, Sheryl. I'll be careful. I think we'll all need to have some time to recover, won't we?

private text message

[galactically]

we all deserve plenty of R&R! after what happened days ago, we certainly need it

private text message

[reformedsinner]

Exactly. You weren't hurt in that fight, were you? There were dangerous ayakashi everywhere, it seemed.

private text message

[galactically]

they look a lot more disgusting than the usual kinds of monsters i've seen before...

i'm in almost excellent condition, Mr. Hakkai! 90%... just need to find that annoying 10% and i'm good to go

private text message

[reformedsinner]

They were fairly powerful, too.

[Hakkai frowns at the phone screen.]

You were hurt, then. Has it been treated?

private text message

[galactically]

of course it has. i had everything taken care of right away
i can even use the bandages as a fashion statement if i'm bored enough

[conveniently ignoring the hurt part...]

private text message

[reformedsinner]

Ah, yes, they could add an interesting color and textural element to your outfit!

What happened?

[not letting go of the hurt part.]

private text message

[galactically]

maybe i can dye them hot pink to match my hair (‾◡◝ )

a battle happened. the end

private text message

[reformedsinner]

I do have some healing abilities, Sheryl, if you need any assistance.

private text message

[galactically]

[a long delay]

i don't want to bother you, Mr. Hakkai... is that okay?

private text message

[reformedsinner]

Of course. I'd be glad to help. This afternoon, maybe?

private text message

[galactically]

... fine but only for a few minutes =A=
i have to go to work, afterwards

private text message

[reformedsinner]

When do you need to be at work? I can be there in about an hour.

private text message

[galactically]

around six. my workplace just changed my shift recently since i gained more customers

private text message > action

[reformedsinner]

Ah, congratulations! In an hour or so, then? I won't take too much of your time.

[He suits actions to words; around four in the afternoon, there will be a polite knock at Sheryl's door.]

action

[galactically]

[By the time Sheryl opens the door, Hakkai will see that the bandages are very noticeable, wrapping around both around her forearms and thighs. Maybe she should've worn something else instead of a tank top and shorts, but what's done is done.

Her smile is more muted, lacking the usual energy, but it's there on her face regardless.]

Hi, there. Please come inside, okay?

[She moves aside to let him through, a slight bounce to her step.]

action

[reformedsinner]

Of course. Excuse me. [He inclines his head politely as he steps over the threshold, casting a concerned glance at Sheryl's bandages. That bounce really isn't necessary, if her thighs are injured, but he's also not going to tell someone not to act healthier than they are. Pride, too, is important.]

You should sit down so that I can take a look at those injuries.

action

[galactically]

[Pride is one of many traits that Sheryl has in excess; appearing weak is no bueno even with bandages on the visible parts of her body (and not so visible ones like on her left hip). After Hakkai enters the temple, she closes the door and strides over to the living room, flopping down on the soft couch.]

I'm so glad this isn't a hospital. I've be bored to tears by all those white walls.

[Hospitals don't tend to have holographic displays of the sky as the ceiling, after all.]

action

[reformedsinner]

I believe they have televisions in hospitals. At least there would be a little distraction.

[He leans over, skimming one clawed hand cautiously over the bandages. They are well wrapped; she's on her way toward healing, and he'd rather not take them all off and then have to find new. Instead, he focuses, lifting his hand away and avoiding a wince as he reaches out to curve both his hands together and summon energy between his palms. The arm that Goku had broken is still twinging, even if the bone is mostly knit: real healing takes longer, even sped by magic.

The vine-like markings on his hands shift subtly as he spreads them apart again and reaches to place them over Sheryl's leg. He'll work his way up; she's most likely to reopen the wounds on her legs in any case, he thinks with his mouth quirking into a tiny smile.]

So, while I do this, why don't you tell me how you've been? Is your shinki well -- Eno, wasn't it?

[It still takes effort and energy, but -- it seems to take so much less of it without his earrings. They truly had limited his power, not just changed his shape.]
