🧙 WHO: Sakura Haruno -&- YOU! ⚔️️ WHAT: Various things 🕒 WHEN: The course of Sakura's stay 🗺️ WHERE: All over the Isle of Avalon! ⚠️ WARNINGS: Warnings in thread headers
[ It was a pretty heavy bomb to drop, but that doesn't bother her. She does him the courtesy of not lingering for his sake rather than hers. At least he let it out to SOMEONE, right?
Stepping back to give him more literal room now, she observes as he goes through the motions and movements, ensuring that he's able to move about. She likes what she sees so far, in that his body seems more relaxed. That's a good sign, that's a very good sign. Some small part of her worried that her "magic" wouldn't prove as effective as her healing, but it seems she worried for nothing. ]
That's good...!
[ Oh, the tail wag- that's cute! Sakura has to put in an active effort not to look charmed or amused. It feels good to have been able to help him, though. ]
I'm not sure what sort of care your scales normally need, and I don't think that my healing will do much for them, but if you'd like to see me again about the rest you can tell me then. Maybe I can help take care of those, too.
Hopefully it will sort itself out, but in all likelihood I imagine some are just dead scales. Not much to do about it until the new ones start growing in though, then we can see what damage has been done.
[Hopefully the dead scales would get pushed out in favor of newer healthier ones, but honestly he couldn’t speak from experience. He’s never had to deal with that much damage before, and his father… well he was tragically scaleless. So even if he had the inclination to talk to him about anything, he still wouldn’t be able to help. He’d nearly taken him to the medical ward when he started losing his baby scales, if Alfonse hadn’t informed him it was normal.
He did at least assume since of the damage would be too much, and the scales just dead, it will be good to have someone that can actually get a good look at his back to help him with it. That and he really didn’t want to be the one plucking the scales off, something about the thought of it made him a bit squeamish.]
So, should we head back then? I-if you want to of course, you’ve honestly helped me more than enough for today if you’re tired.
[He had no idea hope magic worked. At all. Could casting it make someone tired, he… he assumed so? But really, he had no concept of it at all. He just wanted to be considerate.
[ Mental notes are made, things to remember if she's going to treat him for any more injuries going forward. For now, it's enough that Alfonse feels well enough to move about freely and without discomfort.
He seems so hesitant to inconvenience others that Sakura can't help but smile. Is it weird that he reminds her a little bit of Hinata? One of her best friends from home, someone whose younger sister she's been trying to look after in her place. She's an only child, so she doesn't know what having siblings must feel like, but if she did she would like someone like them.
So in a weird, roundabout way Alfonse is kind of like a big brother or could be, potentially.
Sakura was gathering everything back up while he explained. By the time he finishes she's done packing again and snaps her medical pack shut. With a smile and shake of her head, she insists. ]
Nah, I'm alright. Trust me, my stamina's better than that. If you're sure you feel up for it I can still work. Maybe we can share some of the lunches I brought later over a break?
[ She'd like to get to know him more, especially if she'll continue treating him in the future. Honestly, she needs something- someone -to focus on other than Sasuke, Hanabi, and work. The former is certainly more interested in doing his own thing and needs space, Hanabi has school to keep her busy, and one can only do so much work in a day with the shop's hours. ]
