Where: Back outside the train

[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

cw: gore, body horror

[desirestruth]

[The good news is, Naeva is fast, wrenching the thing out and crushing it in her hands. The bad news is, healing with her blood magic...hurts. The body stitches itself back together, wounds closing, organs mending, muscle and skin knitting back together as blood flow resumes, and every second of it is agonizing.

To say nothing of how hungry naeva must be now...

But it is done, and Naeva drapes her coat over Hlasoh and turns away, to hide how hard she's shaking.]

cw: gore, body horror

[Even so, it's terrifying for Hlasoh- something on a deep level just resists having somebody cut you open, stopping the flow of blood, reaching inside you, feeling around your organs, and pulling something out that you can't see. But all of this is an effective distraction from the hallucinations, so in some sense, she is almost grateful for it, and grateful for the excruciating pain of her body stitching itself back together, the bizarre jolt of her circulation starting and stopping, her organs being damaged and healing.

She huddles under the coat, shivering herself and breathing hard. For now there are no visions, and the voices are barely audible.]

...Thank you. Truly.

[desirestruth]

...You're welcome.

[Her voice rasps like a rattle, sore and tired. Crow and...Lucky, he said? Two more people. Can she do this twice more? She can't not. 80H is a healer. Maybe ask her...If nothing else, she doesn't seem to hold Crow any ill-will.]

The others, were they also...?

BOND

[nihilmancy]

[She draws the coat around herself and sits up.]

...Yes. Both of them.

[After hesitating for a moment, she reaches out and brushes Naeva's hand, pitiful and needfully.]

bond? bond.

[desirestruth]

[She shudders a little bit, has to retract claws, but she'll slowly, carefully, take Hlasoh's hand.]

...Well, let me get you back to your room so you can rest, first, mm?

Re: bond? bond.

[nihilmancy]

[Squeezing it lightly for just a moment before letting go.]

I, ah, I'll get there myself. I want to see if people are alright first.
