This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

[pellameno]

[ He grins back a little, curious now himself -- he's mostly only used it to keep monsters at bay. ]

Did you have something heavy in mind?

[evocation]

Uh... No.

[As usual, she didn't really plan ahead, but then she smiles again.]

You can start with Wash.

[hardwearing]

Hey, are you calling me fat?

[pellameno]

[ Pell laughs a little -- that'd be way too easy, for one thing, and for another he doesn't want to wind up having to heal the man. ]

I think I can handle more than him.

[ He shifts his hands, pressing down on her ribs and sensing for areas that might need more strengthening. Just about done, now. ]

How's that feeling?

[evocation]

[She grins at him.]

Muscle weighs more than fat. I'm calling you buff.

[Sorry, Pell. Kyna turns her attention back to him, though.]

Better. It doesn't really hurt anymore.

[pellameno]

You'll still be weak for awhile, and they might still ache, but I can come back and get them to full strength with another session. The faster the better, with everything going on.

[evocation]

Yeah, sure.

[But really, she thinks she's fine.]

Thanks for healing me. It was pretty awesome.

[pellameno]

It's definitely my most impressive ability.

[ He passes her shirt over and stands up, glancing at Wash. ]

Make sure she takes it easy.

[evocation]

[Kyna pulls the shirt back on, and this time, nothing hurts. It's pretty awesome.]

Trust me, he's probably not even going to let me tie my own shoes.

[She's kidding. Wash isn't that bad.]

[hardwearing]

[ Wash watches Kyna dress, approving of the way she doesn't wince this time. How she's sitting up and doesn't seem to be in any pain. ]

I think you can take over that duty again.

Thank you for coming.

[evocation]

[She shoots a smile at Pell.]

Yeah, thanks. That was awesome.

[hardwearing]

I'll walk you out.

[ He does just that, thanking the healer again before returning to Kyna in the bedroom. His whole manner is different now that she's healed -- shoulders looser, some of the tension gone from his face. ]

Ready to take on the world again?

[evocation]

Have you met me?

[Even if Kyna isn't always great at reading people, his relief is blatantly obvious. She didn't realize just how stressed out he really was until this moment.]

Does this mean I can't trick you into spoiling me anymore?

[hardwearing]

That depends on what kind of spoiling you want.

[ No it doesn't. He'll do anything. ]

[evocation]

There are rules now? Lame.

[She reaches for him, looping her arms around his waist and settling her head against his chest.]

So I can't ask you to, like... slay a dragon for me or something?

[hardwearing]

[ His arms come up around her easily, one hand burying itself into her hair. It's nice to not have to treat her like she's glass. ]

What did the dragon ever do to you?

[evocation]

[Kyna lets out a quiet, contented sigh, smoothing a hand down his spine.]

Dragons suck. Do you want a list?

[hardwearing]

No, I believe you. But it'd probably just eat me, I don't know how to slay a dragon.

[evocation]

You want to know a secret? We don't know how to do half the shit we get paid to do.

[hardwearing]

Do you at least get to do recon?

[evocation]

[She makes a face, though he might not be able to see it with the way she's leaning against him.]

Not really.

[Her fingers catch the bottom hem of his shirt and she starts to toy with it absently.]

There's this woman, Panna? She's the one that gives assigns us jobs, but she doesn't really tell us much about the crap we might run into. It's kind of shitty.

[hardwearing]

I hate improvising.

[ Kyna's mentioned Panna before, and Wash doesn't think he'd like her much. ]

But you've always pulled through, right?

[evocation]

Yeah. I mean, we've totally almost died because she didn't know or didn't care that we were going to run into something fucked up.

[She shrugs.]

They don't pay us enough.

[hardwearing]

Ask for more. Or will you just lose the work?

[evocation]

I have. I don't know. Panna's Harlan's girlfriend, so I can't get too shitty with her, you know?
