[wise_maiden]

[She guides her over to one of the cots.] When was the last time you had anything to eat?

[corrinesbell]

This morning. And I didn't feel like eating very much.

[wise_maiden]

Maybe something light then. You don't want to take anything without having something to eat first.

[corrinesbell]

I guess I just haven't though about it since then.

[She'll sit on this bed all you want, but she also doesn't feel like lying down just yet.]

[wise_maiden]

It can be easy to forget.

[corrinesbell]

[A nod, and she drops her head into her hands.]

You didn't get hurt today right?

[wise_maiden]

I've been all right, so far. [Which isn't a lie. A lot of running around, but that's her choice.] I'm going to get you some food, and try to find a doctor.

[corrinesbell]

[a long exhale]

Okay. I won't go anywhere.

[wise_maiden]

... Good. I won't be long. [And she'll go off, likely to find whatever meal had been prepared. It's probably something like soup and sandwiches, so she'll bring that back to Sheena and get one for herself as well.

And some tea. So maybe it'll be a little tray.]

[corrinesbell]

[Raine isn't gone that long. Just long enough for her to pull her knees up to her chest, and rest her forehead between them. She can smell the soup, and the tea; both of them make her realize at the same time how hungry and how queasy she is. At least she knows that sometimes those two things go together, injuries or not.

So she lifts her head again once Raine's close enough]

It...it looks good.

[wise_maiden]

Don't force yourself, but try to have as much as you can. [She sets the tray down on a low table, and then will pull up a chair so that she can sit as well.]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. I am hungry, kinda. [The tea is the first thing she picks up. At least she isn't shaky with it, or looking so unsteady it might drop.]

I guess...this is better anyway. I wasn't being a very good scout.

[wise_maiden]

It's not easy to scout things when you're plagued by a headache, anyway. These things happen. [She watches Sheena's hands carefully, making sure they aren't shaky. Good.]

[corrinesbell]

I'm not doing a really great job of convincing myself that I didn't screw up, though.

[and any further words are cut off because she's picking up some of that sandwich to eat.]

[wise_maiden]

I'm not sure what you mean. [Or maybe she has an idea, but she wants Sheena to say it for herself.]

[corrinesbell]

...I know what I mean but I can't get the words right.

[And that's just part of the whole problem isn't it?]

[wise_maiden]

This situation has nothing to do with your village, or being a ninja. No one would even know enough to hold you to those standards here.

[corrinesbell]

Oh. Oh, no, that's not...I wasn't thinking about that stuff. I just meant...that I said I was gonna do something, and now I probably can't go through with it. Even if it isn't my fault I got hurt...I still feel like I'm gonna be letting people down.

[She does better at learning not to carry around all the guilt of the past when her brain is scrambled.]

And even if you stood there and told me I wasn't letting anybody down...part of me would still feel like I was. You know what that's like, right?

[wise_maiden]

... yes, you're right. I suppose I don't really have the right to tell you not to feel something I'd experience myself.

[She shakes her head a little.] Drink up your tea.

[corrinesbell]

[Her eyes try to narrow but that hurts her head.]

You didn't sneak something in it, right? [She didn't taste anything weird, but that meant nothing. ...And she is sort of joking. She trusts Raine to tell her before she drugs her.]

[wise_maiden]

No, it's normal. I told you, you need to eat first before I give you anything. [She'll sip at her own cup.]

[corrinesbell]

[...Point taken. She's had about half the sandwich, and to pick up the tea again and drink it now does feel good.

Plus, mouthfuls of tea keep her from asking (and potentially screwing up) the question about whether Raine had found the promised doctor.]

[wise_maiden]

[She nods encouragingly as Sheena continues to eat. The doctor she found will likely be by shortly, but there are a few injured people in the area. It gives her friend enough time to work on her meal, anyway. She slowly starts on her own soup.]

[corrinesbell]

[Saying so would feel awkward, but Sheena's glad Raine's eating with her instead of just watching it happen. The observation would make her jumpy.

She gets a little dizzy again when she picks up the bowl of soup. Rather than try to keep going and spill it, though, she puts it back down to wait.]

[wise_maiden]

[She hadn't eaten all that much in the past few days, so it's something of a reminder to herself to be able to take the time to do so. Especially with someone who'd probably call her out if she weren't doing it.

That last hesitation is noticed, though.] How are you feeling?
