Snippet #1795493

I wasn’t all that surprised when Mike didn’t IM me back. After all, plenty of my online friends had a somewhat irritating habit of either suddenly disappearing without so much as a word, changing status and then immediately leaving, or simply leaving themselves online but being nowhere near the computer. I didn’t blame them, so much, but I wished they’d at least stop by to say hello every so often. Either way, I had no idea what was going on with my friend at the moment, nor did I have any other real means to get more information, (there was always the phone, but I figured Mike was probably at a party or something by this point. He’d AIM chatted something or other about a party)so I sat back and went back to my game. It was a mistake I’d no doubt later regret, but hindsight is twenty-twenty.

Tory considered the abrupt turn as a response, though what kind she had no idea. It rolled over to some grass and just fell over. This caused her to let out a bit of a breath of apprehension. Was the little being injured? Was it exhausted? She didn’t know, but she pursued it further. If it was injured, she couldn’t just leave it.

“Tory, come on. Leave that thing alone, you don’t know what it is or what’s wrong with it. It could have rabies or something!” Nixie said, motioning to the others.

Tory shook her head, “I don’t think it has rabies. I think its hurt.” She said, following Robert and kneeling by him in the grass. She examined him without getting too close or touching him. There was dried blood in the cracks in its…uh…skin? She wished she could examine the creature further, but she didn’t want to offend it in any way. She let the life energies dance along her fingertips for a moment as she said gently, “If you are injured or weary, I can help you. Okay? I won’t hurt you, I promise.” As she extended her hand slowly, she let the healing energy radiate from her palm, forming a small, green beam between her palm and the rubber that made up Robert’s exterior. The beam was made of pure magicks, and would heal the wounds of all living creatures. Then she just sat back waiting for a response. She wasn’t one hundred percent sure what she would get, and Aksel stood by with the revive spell already dancing on his palm, but they waited in relative silence.
