[ and then she yanks up her shirt to he can see the scar on her abdomen left behind from the chimera goring her. there's a bit more damage, but that stands out the most. he also get a flash of her lime green bra because what is modesty?????? ]
[ Well, he did invite this on himself by asking. And there's no better way to prove that you're healing than to show someone. He should be more used to this kind of thing with Kali, but he's getting there. And though he clears his throat a little, he smiles. ]
The visual really helps.
[ He's not even being sarcastic. ]
You gonna be staying around here for a while or heading back to the castle soon?
[ she preens happily, pleased that her explanation worked. success at being a person! weee! but when henry poses his question she tugs her shirt back down, smoothing it across her stomach. ]
I haven't decided. I don't think I'll be very useful at the castle though.
Me either. I mean...I'm not a healer, so I can't help injured people that much, other than getting things they need, but I figure there's plenty of other ways I can still help, and I want to.
[ And Henry's sort of just...a fixer, in general. He needs to be doing something, at least. ]
What are you gonna help out with here?
[ Everyone has different strengths and talents in this sort of situation, after all. ]
[ Henry will...try to help with the emotional stuff, he tends to be pretty good at that, but this on a completely different level. ]
I can move beams, but I'm gonna try to help with the emotional stuff. I like talking to people, and they seem to need it right now. I might as well try.
You are very good at talking. [ she means that as a compliment, smiling a little bit. ] Maybe you can help me. I failed the class where I'm supposed to seem normal.
[ He definitely takes it as a compliment. She's quirky in a good way. Or at least...a way he finds adorably amusing, in general. ] Sure, I'd love to help. I think you're...pretty normal, though. [ Ok so maybe he's exaggerating a little just because he hates to say otherwise. ] I mean, with just a little guidance, maybe. Sometimes.

Oh yes. [ she nods, ever cheerful, ponytail bouncing. ] I'm fine. See?

Oh yeah, of course. Maybe we could do flashcards and stuff? [ He's trying to be funny, but really he has no idea what he's doing. ]

Sure! [ leans over, she put her hands on his shoulders and kisses him on the cheek.
and then abruptly... turns and bolts off.
maybe, um, how to end a conversation politely should be the first lesson. sorry henry!! ]
