as the light fades, she'll find her injuries have healed to the point of scarring and a bit of tenderness/soreness she'll need to still rest for.]
Because any pending tasks I have left outstanding means that I cannot provide heals to anyone else if they aren't completed, even if I am "recharged", so to speak.

...how's that?

Hmmgghpghh. [sounds like it's good! sounds like she is enjoying this.]

Alright then. [they step back just a little then to give her room.]
Your task...make yourself emotionally vulnerable for two people. A bit of humility, if you would.
[so yes, about that lack of pride thing...]
