"I'm not sure," Life admitted, glancing down at her arms. She was technically one of her own creations, or rather, was stuck inside one of them. So it would make sense if she could--like she could the flower--heal herself. Right?
Brow furrowing slightly, she held out one of her arms and waved her arm over it as she did the flower. Even if the bandages covered up any physical reaction, she did feel something--her entire body felt lighter all of the sudden. If nothing else, it was an incredibly freeing feeling.
"I think it worked," Life muttered, staring. "Although I'm not willing to unbandage all of this doctor's hard work to find out. That said, though, thank you. I really do appreciate it."
"Of course," the doctor replied, nodding.
Life paused--she hopped out of the chair and walked over to Malin, glancing to see his back. "Are you sure you'd be okay with that, though? Shoe did quite a number on you, so I'd understand if you wanted to rest your muscles for a bit. Besides, Bennie and Kayin are here now, and...well, I have legs."
Niven continued to lag behind his family, mostly just looking around the forest as Ingris and his father followed Shoe's pawprints. The further they went, the more he began to notice a very particular kind of pain trickling in the air--at first, it manifested as only a slight headache. Then, a slightly more annoying one.
...It was after the first thought of wanting to die popped up in his head that he realized what it was--"Cherry Blossom is around here. I'm...I do not want to be around her."
