- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] began trolling neuroticProvision [NP] at 13:50 --
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] limps down the staircase, wearing a dark lime jacket. She's shoved her handstump into one of the deep pockets, her left hand holding the bannister for support. --
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] hums as she washes some of Paloma's dishes in the nutritionblock --
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] heads into the respiteblock, startling a little when she sees Elizan. --
- AA: <\ E, Elizan! You don't have to do that for me... />
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] jumps a little when she hears Paloma's voice, startled. She nearly loses her grip on the plate she's washing but catches it comedically. --
- NP: Oh, h-hellO PalOma!
- NP: HOw are y-yOu feeling?
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] smiles to Elizan. It's a little weak, but she's trying. --
- AA: <\ Aside, aside from the obvious, I guess I'm okay... thanks to you. />
- NP: I +-+ry, g-glad +-+O hear i+
- AA: <\ But, but really, let me help with that... />
- NP: N-NO, I've g-gO+ i+
- NP: R-Really!
- AA: <\ I, I can't keep doing this to you and Yunato, getting hurt and making you come over here... at least let me help, please. />
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] frowns and dries off her hands, then plants them on her hips and glares at Paloma --
- NP: Y-YOu're nO+ m-making Yuna+O and I d-dO any+hing!
- NP: W-We're helping y-yOu because w-we /wan+/ +-+O!
- AA: <\ But... />
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] sighs, shaking her head and smiling. --
- AA: <\ .... I'm lucky to have friends like you. />
- -- neuroticProvision's [NP'S] face relaxes and she smiles --
- NP: +h-+ha+'s v-very nice Of y-yOu +O s-say, +hank y-yOu
- AA: <\ It, it's the least I could say! I, I mean, you always come to my rescue, Elizan... />

- -- absoluteAltitude's [AA'S] smile grows a little more stable. --
- AA: <\ You're way too nice, Elizan. Thanks. />
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] beams at her, then walks over and gently starts examining her bandages --
- NP: +ha+'s v-very k-kind Of yOu, PalOma; n-nOw, j-jus+ as a m-ma++er Of prO+OcOl, h-hOw m-much pain are y-yOu feeling r-righ+ nOw?
- -- absoluteAltitude's [AA'S] bandages seem okay; there's a little blood, but not too much. Probably from moving too much. --
- AA: <\ Um... I guess I'd say it, it's pretty bad, but not too bad...? />
- NP: Hm...
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] makes a mental note to change the bandages a little sooner because of all the moving around Paloma is doing --
- NP: D-DO yOu w-wan+ any+hing f-fOr +he p-pain?

- AA: <\ I, I'm okay. />

- AA: <\ D, don't do that! />
- NP: I d-dOn'+ w-wan+ +O d-dO +ha+!
- AA: <\ I, I deserve it just fine, I guess... I just, I don't think it's bad enough for that? />
- NP: Okay +h-+hen
- NP: M-Make sure y-yOu le+ m-me knOw if yOu ch-change yOur m-mind +hOugh
- NP: Okay?
- AA: <\ O, okay... />
- NP: G-GOOd...
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] looks back over at the sink, then back at Paloma --
- NP: If y-yOu w-wan+, y-yOu can h-help me d-dry...
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] smiles. --
- AA: <\ Okay! />
- -- neuroticProvision [NP] gives Paloma a handtowel and goes back to washing the dishes, holding them out when done for Paloma to dry --
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] takes them and dries them off thoroughly before setting them aside. As she dries, she says, --
- AA: <\ I, I'm just so surprised at how everyone's come to help after... after all this, considering everything. Do, do you think that's strange...? />
- NP: I d-dunnO, i+ m-makes m-me glad +ha+ s-sO many p-peOple c-care abOu+ y-yOu

- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] gazes at the dish in her hand and the cloth wrapped around her stump. --
- AA: <\ ... yeah. />
- AA: <\ I don't want anyone hurt because of me. />
- AA: <\ No one else, anyway. />
