[telewarped]

I know, right?

[Berry that heals old people! Peace and love on Pokéarth.

She glances toward the (still nervous-looking) Audino.]

So... what were you saying before? Something about "checking yourself out"?

[paperceptive]

I can rest just as well in my own quarters.

[ Better, really, with her books and a little bit of privacy. ]

[telewarped]

Uh-huh. And how long's it been since you were literally blown up?

[A day? A few hours?]

[paperceptive]

Immaterial. I've been treated.

[ She might know that she's being sort of unreasonable, but. She's still doing it. ]

I'm not going to die in the night.

[telewarped]

Okay, Splodile.

[Shoka is no medical professional (and also has a history of trying to escape her own treatments), but she doesn't have to be to get the sense that Odile probably shouldn't be walking around unattended right now.]

Look, I know being stuck in the clinic sucks, but you look like hell. And you better not die, so... Maybe we should see where the nurse is going with this.

[paperceptive]

[ "Don't tell Siffrin that nickname" is the phrase that comes to mind, but Odile knows better than to say it. ]

What are they going to do without Healing Craft?

[ Anything internal...you'd need to go to a House for that. A shrine, in Ka Bue. ]

[telewarped]

You do know Pokémon have their own version of Healing Craft, right? Or is that another tip I've gotta add to my briefing?

[Again, she glances at the Audino.]

Audino especially get tons of healing moves.

[paperceptive]

Really?

[ What's with the bandages, then? Maybe their cooldown is just long enough that it's better used on more serious injuries. ]

Best get on with that so I can go home, then.

[telewarped]

Uh. I mean... Hate to be the bearer of bad news and all, but even with the healing moves, it's still gonna take longer than that for you to be back to normal...

[... She thinks. She's a gamer, not a medical professional!]

You're not seriously saying Healing Craft could fix you up instantly, are you? Just a friendly reminder here: you were literally exploded.

[paperceptive]

It could have been much worse. Healing Craft could handle minor injuries like this directly.

[ Indicating her bandaged-up cuts and burns. ]

Anything internal is much more complicated. Fortunately, that's not what we're dealing with here.

[telewarped]

Huh. [External or not, those injuries don't look minor to Shoka, but she supposes that she hasn't had a true body capable of bleeding in a long time. A healing psych in the UG could heal any damage instantaneously, but everyone in the UG was already dead, of course.] Well, that's super convenient and all, but it doesn't exactly work like that here. A blast injury isn't minor enough for a basic Heal Pulse. Too bad, sucks to be you!

[There's a pause before, very suddenly:]

So. What kind of food do you like?

[paperceptive]

Hmmm.

[ She sees what's going on here, but she'll go with the change in subject. ]

I enjoy a bit of spice. Perhaps - do they have onigiri here? Without apple slices?
