[When Rachel first arrives, she looks like death warmed over. She'll try to tough it out, but eventually she'll give up and limp her sorry butt to wherever the doctors and healers are setting up shop. She'll be sleeping for the majority of the evening, but feel free to run into her before then, either when she arrives, with the healers, or at the barracks.]

[Whoa, that girl really didn't look good and the fighting hadn't even started yet. In fact, they had only just got here. Anise isn't really sure whether to approach her or not, but hey, maybe it'd help her take her mind off the coming battle.]

Hey, are you okay? You look really pale.

"No, no, I'm good. Just, uh. Just getting my bearings. I'm good."

[She winces as her head throbs in a particularly unpleasant manner, but it passes quickly.]

[She looks doubtful when the wince crosses the other girl's face.]

Are you sure? This is gonna be hard enough even if you aren't sick!

"I'm-"

[Oh, good, now she felt like she was going to throw up. Wonderful.]

"-I'm fine. I came here straight from a training camp, is all. I'll be fine."

Training camp?

"Yeah. Got bored in the city. Went on one of the Malnosso training missions last week."

[Another surge of pain brings her hand to her head again.]

"Great timing, huh?"

Yeah, no kidding.

[And the girl's looking even worse.]

Are you sure you don't need to go look for the healers? I know there's a couple around.

"Don't worry about it. I'm... uh."

[Feeling like she's about to pass out.]

"... alright, fine. I'll go, uh, get some water and have the medics check me out."

[... If she can even make it there...]

[Ironically she had met Rachel once before, on her previous Luceti stay as one of her students. They weren't close, or anything, but the familiarity is there.

In any case, when the girl wanders into the area where she's putting together the supply packs, Raine will glance up, noticing the state she's in.]

Hello. You don't look well... is it because of nerves, or something else?

"What? No! I'm fine."

[She scowls. Nerves. As if. She tries to turn and stalk off, and promptly stumbles, wavering ominously in place for a moment, her hand rising to her head.

After a few moments, she turns back.]

"... Fine. Nothing to worry about. Little light-headed, that's all."

"I know you don't want me to be concerned, but this is a draft situation."

It probably doesn't help that she's a stranger to the teen, either. A teen who is more than likely used to taking care of herself, without trusting others, like most of them were. She can't say that she hadn't been in that situation once herself.

"If the lightheadedness is something that only started when you first got up here, it might be a side effect of a shift illness, and you'll want that taken care of."

"It's not a big deal. I'll manage."

[She can't be this out of shape, honestly. It hasn't been that long since she was fighting like this every week of her life. She should be better than this.]

"How, uh. How high up do you think we are?"

If you say so. [She could push the point, but it wasn't her place to.] I'm not certain. We're high enough to still be able to breathe without too much trouble, so we could be somewhere between eight or ten thousand feet.

"Oh, for-"

[She ignores the pain for a moment to scowl.]

"Altitude sickness, it's gotta be. Of all the stupid, humili-"

[She stops ranting and clutches her stomach, then glances sheepishly at Raine]

"... I'm just going to limp over to the doctors."

All right. They aren't too far from here. [She gives her a thoughtful look, handing one of the packs over to her.] You might want to hold on to this, though.

[She takes the pack with a grateful nod, although it's cut short by another wave of head-splitting nausea and she doubles over again.]

"Thanks."

[With that, she turns and starts- slowly- shuffling over toward the healers.]

[ Rapunzel is, in fact, one of those doctors and/or healers setting up shot. She's keeping a close eye on everyone who comes in, so when she spots Rachel, she is quick to assist. ]

Oh, Rachel! What's the matter?

[... Oh, hell. They brought her here? What kind of a sadist would drag a kid like that into a war.

Y'know, aside from Elfangor and his own son.

... Well. That was a nice bitter thought.]

"Uh. Nothing. Just, um..."

[Just pale, sweaty, feverish, nauseous, and with a headache big enough to haul freight with.]

"Just kind of tired, I got here straight from a mission."

[It sure doesn't look like nothing. ]

Do you need something to eat? To drink? You don't look very well at all.

"I think it's just-"

[She wobbles ominously. Oh, that isn't good.

Finally she decides to bite her pride and slump to the ground before she falls over.]

"Just the height, that's all. I'll get over it..."

Oh! [ Rapunzel kneels down to her side. SHE IS NOT BUYING THAT. ] Here, let me help to a seat, at least.

"It's just a little altitude, sickness, I'm fine."

[She turns her head to face Rapunzel a little too fast, and her head throbs unpleasantly, causing her to wince and grit her teeth.]

"... fine. But don't go babying me."

I'm not babying. I just want to make sure you're in good health for tomorrow. Where do you hurt the most?

"Uh..."

[She considers that question for a moment and answers, as concisely and accurately as possible]

"...yes."
