[guestservices]

[a strange question.]

You shouldn't want to, really. That isn't the priority.

[evocationary]

I can multitask.

Unless it's going to get you in trouble. Normally I'd be a rebellious uh, punk, but I don't like putting people in danger with it.

[guestservices]

Which makes sense considering what's transpired over the weekend. [...]

...all I can ask is that you take care of yourself first. You cannot rely on getting to know us.

[evocationary]

[she watches them for a moment, expression somber.]

I can't rely on it. I know. The NPCs can't always be your friends. [she says, pulling herself up to sit.] Uh, I think I maybe get it the most.

What if I get to know you uh, incidentally? I just have a lot of complaints, you know.

[guestservices]

[that's an interesting way of putting it. and they still have a job, after all.]

...what are your new complaints, Miss Lup?

[evocationary]

My newest complaint is that my entire body hurts.

[this is a little lighter, half a joke.]

[guestservices]

Understandably so, seeing how you refused to rest during today's events.

[they sound a little stressed about this, actually.]

I truly hope you've finished moving around for the evening.

[evocationary]

[look sometimes you have to do extreme sleuthing even though a twink stabbed you]

For tonight, sure. [a little cough.] ... Do you have any healing left? Vulpecula told me you can do it.

[guestservices]

[...ah...]

...yes. I have one left for the week, but you would have to complete a task for me to apply it.

[evocationary]

What kind of task? [exhausted...]

[guestservices]

Nothing arduous...it's simply meant to be an exchange.

[evocationary]

Okay, well. Hit me then, I guess.

If I can't do it, I can't do it. But I'd like - look, being carried? It's great! Real fun, for the first few times, and then uh, you can't get up the stairs and you look like a dingus and so uh, you have to suck it up. And do the lack of pride thing.

[guestservices]

...unfortunately you have to accept the healing first, and then the task will be given to you. I cannot tell you what it is before that.

[evocationary]

That's... that's uh, fine?

Does the healing like, go away, if I don't do it?

[guestservices]

Yes. If it's not completed in seven days it will essentially undo itself.

[evocationary]

[that's the funniest thing in the world it's like (ring voice) SEVEN DAAAYS... and then your side explodes]

Okay. Well. I'll take that risk. Can you like, try to make sure it doesn't fuck me entirely?

[guestservices]

I'll do my best.

[but finally they leave the doorway and begin making their way toward her bed. once they're there, they linger for a few moments before they hold out their hand. a soft light washes over her, a warmth following that blankets her as she feels her injuries begin to heal.

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.]

...how's that?

[evocationary]

[ohhh, that's so nice. she immediately goes boneless into the blankets.]

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

[guestservices]

[there's a huff. yeah, okay, fair. there's your healing...]

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...]

[evocationary]

[a

long pause]

Fuck.

[guestservices]

I would advise you attend to this sooner than the allotted seven days, but you do have that long.

[evocationary]

[she groans and slides off the bed halfway like a slug.]

Why sooner.

[guestservices]

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.

[evocationary]

... Oh.

[weh. okay.]

Okay, okay. I'll do it.

[guestservices]

[a quiet sigh of relief.]

Thank you.
