[ because tree stared at me unblinkingly,

presumably she found his contact through the directory, because she is a modern girl, but: ]

Hi, this is Ritsuka ヾ(•ω•`)o
I wanted to apologize about earlier
How are you doing now?

Better rested and yet more bruised.

Because of me, or because of someone else?
I've got a healer on deck if you need it though

Just you. You may have single-handedly caused a dip in the Xianzhou Luofu economy with that one.

But in all seriousness, I'm quite alright.

???
I thought you were a general, not an idol
But seriously, it's the least I can do. You didn't deserve that

The market for pictures exists despite all efforts on my part to be as unobtrusive as possible, and despite not being an officially recognised industry.
That aside, I jest. One blow to the face is insignificant in the long-run, and I never claimed to be innocent in the matter at hand.

No matter where you go, the paparazzi is always the same, huh...
Still. I'm mad about the situation, not you specifically
So I shouldn't have taken it out on you (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Your apology is accepted.
Really.
I have no ill will towards you at all.

So if I show up at your door and do a heal you won't say no, right?

[ is that really what that means, no, but sometimes you have to play willfully ignorant ]

I wouldn't be so rude to a friend of a friend.

It'd be fine if you were!
It takes a lot to scare me off.
It might not even be possible!
Anyway I'll be right over

Noted.

[Unfortunately this is torture, because he's under his covers and doesn't want to get up. But he does, reluctantly, so he can have his hair tied back up and look vaguely alive by the time she knocks.]

[ local lion dreams of nothing but more sleep all day

she has arrived with an armful of things that she has raided from the vending machines as well, which she holds out to him. ]

Welcome presents.

[He takes the presents when they're offered, though he's... rather confused. What an odd girl. She reminds him a bit of someone...

Also yeah his face is SO BRUISED.]

Thank you.

[ she has obtained for him: several bags of chips (a couple of "normal" flavors and also pick any two from this list) and some drinks. two of them are off-brand energy drinks.

when she sees his face, she winces a little. ]

You bruise as badly as I do, huh...

The perils of a fair complexion...

[He laughs awkwardly as he steps back from the door to go set the snacks down.]

Come in, if you like.

Sorry for the intrusion...

[ it's an automatic nicety; it's been years since she's had to say it, but it still instinctively comes out of her as she steps inside. there is a moment where she pauses like ?should I take my shoes off? and then decides not to, even if it pains her. ]

Let me get a better look at your face?

As you wish.

[Once he's set everything down he sits on the edge of his bed. It brings him down to her level without awkwardly leaning over the whole time...]

It really isn't so bad. I was in considerably worse shape in the waking world.

Just because you had it worse doesn't mean you should have to grin and bear it.

[ it is possible he will someday find out she's a hypocrite when it comes to that, but for now, she's mildly scolding as she examines his face. ]

Beowulf's power really is in his fists, huh... okay.

[ Martha's out, Asclepius is out, Nightingale is definitely out... Medea Lily it is.

like with the last summon, she's only there for a few seconds, long enough to pass her hand over the bruise, leaving a cooling sensation and the brief scent of lilies. pain, pain, fly away! ]

[Oh. Well that's convenient. After she's gone he touches his own nose, carefully. Much better!]

I was simply pointing out that it wasn't a significant injury... and I heal more quickly than short-life species. But I do appreciate your concern.

An injury is an injury. Don't let any doctor hear you saying that.

[ or nurses. it is possible that Ritsuka's experience sample is skewed. ]

...Anyway. It was my fault, and no matter how fast you feel, something like that is even faster.

It was quick...

[He laughs a little, and tilts his head to smile at her with a distinctly mischievous twinkle in his eyes.]

However, my doctors at home are already exasperated with me, and I find it rather entertaining.

[ she perks up a little, but visibly. 99% of the time it is not hard to read her at all. ??friendship?? ]

Ehh, are you the kind of guy who plays hooky for his physicals? One of my seniors used to do that. Apparently she used to make the doctor cry trying to chase her down.

My cooperation with their expectations depends entirely on how bored I may be on any given day. Sometimes, a visit to the alchemy commission is a convenient way out of unwanted busywork. Sometimes, I'd like to be working when they'd rather I be resting. I simply do as I please, one way or another.
