Christina opened her eyes when she felt hands checking for her pulse. It was Erika. "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" she said.

"We'll talk about that later. We need to get you some medical attention first." Erika replied soberly. "Can you move?"

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Jan 07, 2012 8:31 pm

"A little, it just hurts a lot." Christina said.

"Then stay still for a second." Erika replied, before calling out. "Hey, can either Joey or Tom help move her?"

Kira, noticing that Erika seemed to have everything under control, moved back towards her home. Sure enough, all her few possessions were soaked. Great.

Joey nodded, walking over to the girls. "I got it."

Luke stuck his head in the door.

"Take all the things that need moisture outside," he told Kira.

Kira looked around the room, but she didn't see, nor could she think of anything that particularly needed moisture. There was no need to keep potted plants in a forest, where she could simply grow things anywhere. She nodded to Luke, stepping outside with him.

Luke glowed red with his Flow, slowly increasing his heat. He carefully evaporated the liquid, careful not to brin the house. He did a remarkably good job, but when he was done, he collapsed in pain, barely holding in a roar as he did. He gritted his teeth, growling and waiting for the burning to pass.

Kira squeaked as Luke collapsed, rushing towards him. "A-Are y-you okay?!" she asked, a bed frame made of branches sprouting from the floor as she helped Luke sit on it.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:05 pm

"Nothing new," Luke replied, slightly gruffly.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:10 pm

"Y-You shouldn't h-have done that..." Kira mumbled, vines sealing most of the door as to not let Luke's efforts go to waste. Small holes in the ceiling opened up to let in some light, under the protection of the tree, so water wouldn't get in.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:12 pm

Luke muttered something that sounded like 'Felt bad for yesterday'.

by Book the Hero Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:13 pm

...So he's still having trouble with it, huh... Percival thought, him an Joey having sensed the commotion.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:15 pm

"Mind your own business," Luke told the pair sharply, not in the best of moods.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:18 pm

"At...At l-least y-you recognized us," Kira sighed, sitting beside Luke. "In th-the t-t-tourn-tournament wh-when I..." she trailed off, frowning. "Y-Yesterday...w-wasn't your f-fault..."

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:21 pm

"Not entirely," Luke admitted. "But bits of it were, and vanishing was."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:28 pm

"I...I sh-should've tr-tried harder t-to find you after y-you...v-vanished..." Kira objected, biting her lip and deciding not to bring up all the other bad things that happened that she could link back to being her fault.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:32 pm

"I should've tried to find you," Luke replied, stepping back outside. "But whatever you've done doesn't bother me. You're a good person."

He raised his voice so Erika could hear. "There are other, more stupid things that bother me."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:35 pm

Kira noticed his louder tone, looking over at Erika, Joey, and Christina. "D-Did something h-h-happen...?" she asked Luke quietly.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:40 pm

"Yeah, two days in a row it's happened, actually. Or, more accurately, he's happened," Luke replied, not changing his volume.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:43 pm

"Oh," Kira replied rather lamely, finally figuring it out. She herself had been wondering what was with Nathan's sudden huge activity burst in the area, but she had waved it off easy enough, since today he hadn't come to close to her forest.

by Book the Hero Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:50 pm

"Hey, we don't like him coming here any more than you do!" Joey called to them.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:56 pm

"Really? Cos' it doesn't fucking seem like that!" Luke started. "What it fucking seems like, to an outsider, anyway, is that all Nathan had to fucking do, is come in, show off how fucking powerful he is, smile the right ways, make the sad eyes, and suddenly he can do whatever the fuck he fucking wants! Not that I'm surprised, mind you, but it seems to me, that suddenly everything's fucking dandy and he's forgiven, all on his own word, the word of a liar and a murderer!"

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:59 pm

Kira started wringing her hands again nervously. "I...I j-just wanted t-to see y-you..." she mumbled, hanging her head.
