[vaccination]

Date & Time: August 1st
Location: Transport clinic
Characters: Ellie, Joel, and their hot nurse Kaneis
Summary: Joel pops some stitches, Ellie brings him to a magical redhead
Warnings: Descriptions of blood/gore are likely!

Getting anywhere in the rain always seemed to take longer than anything else. Thankfully, they don't get lost on their way to their destination, and Ellie heaves a sigh of relief once she sees the clinic doors. Good. They made it. Her footsteps already feel lighter, any injuries of her own forgotten.

"Almost there. I got the door," she says to Joel, running ahead and holding it open for him. She leans inside. Sure looked like a clinic, or what remains she'd seen of labs and research facilities. Except this definitely felt alive. It felt hopeful.

"Hello? Need some help over here!"

[wilder]

The magic?

[He gives a light shrug]

Only if I do too much of it at once, it's not anything to worry about.

[vaccination]

Oh. Well... I could use some magic myself. If it's not too much.

[wilder]

It's not too much.

Where are you hurt?

[vaccination]

My ribs are pretty fucked up. Hit my head kinda hard, too.

[She has a number of bumps and bruises and aches all over her body, but those are the two that keep pestering her. She can feel a swollen bump hidden under her hair, though she can't remember when exactly that happened. Her ribs are the worst--bruised and swollen under her shirt, they're not broken but if he'd kicked her tiny frame just a little harder...]

[wilder]

[he glances up as he's reapplying new bandages onto Joel]

Fucked up? They're not broken, are they?

[vaccination]

[Ellie glances at Joel. Still asleep. Good. He didn't need to know about how badly she was hurt.]

No clue. I've never broken anything before.

[wilder]

Hm...

Take a deep breath for me and tell me if you feel a very sharp pain.

[vaccination]

Do I have to?

[She groans... quietly.]

More like a dull ache.

[wilder]

Heh, sorry. I haven't been given clearance to the X-Ray machines yet.

[He nods] But hey, good news. Your ribs probably aren't broken.

[vaccination]

So, you can magic me all back to normal?

[wilder]

Should be able to, yeah!

[vaccination]

Okay.

[She sits there. That's all she needs to do, right?]

[wilder]

[He'll finish up the bandage, taking a step away from joel so he doesn't accidentally...cast on him. More concentrating, more white glowing, and what not]

Heal!

[And yep, sure enough her injuries are getting fixed up by white sparkly magic. It's like a bedazzle image without Snoop Dogg ]

[vaccination]

Whoa.

[And just like that, the aches and pains dim. Ellie stares down at herself, awestruck.

It's kind of cooler when it's being used on you.]

Fuck, that is so cool.

[wilder]

Haha, why thank you!

[Doing magic to the newbies is always so much more fun than people jaded to magic]

How's it feel now?

[vaccination]

[She's pressing her hands against her ribs, something that would probably get a cry out of her minutes before.]

It's--fine. Perfect.

[wilder]

Haha, good!

But make sure to take it easy the next couple days, okay? No trying to carry middle aged men or anything.

[vaccination]

[That gets a smile out of her. She looks over at Joel--she'll kick his ass if she ever has to wash his blood off of her hands again, or scrub it out of her clothing.]

That's the plan. I'll make sure he doesn't overdo it, too.

Thank you.

[wilder]

Good. I'll hold you to that. He seems like a type that needs looking out for.

Heh..just doing my job.

[vaccination]

Oh, definitely. It's why I have to boss him around all the time.

[wilder]

Haha, sounds like my sister.

[vaccination]

What, needing to be bossed around?

[wilder]

Nah, more like doing the bossing.

[vaccination]

Oh, so you need to be bossed around.

[wilder]

Hey, I think I can take care of myself.
