[...Hm.]

Sheila?

[Again, another immediate read receipt dated to fifteen minutes ago.]

At least text me back to tell me you’re busy!

[Third verse, same as the first...]

[After all of that has gone on!

She gives the group space even after Luca sends her a message and she follows the noise to the kitchen. After she gives them a while to figure themselves out, though, she's heading to the medbay! And giving Sheila a long look when she sees her inside. It's not like she was worried or anything?]

So, what happened to you?

Several things.

[It's fine. She's cleaned up since then, and it seems like her finger is back in its rightful place.]

Most of which ended with us wearing a monster's intestines as a bodysuit, for some reason.

[She looks intrigued.]

...There was a monster here? So, you had to fight it?

Monsters, plural.

[This is apparently important.]

They were trying to kill us which is, you know, not great! So we killed them first. It got messy.

Good for you!

[Proud of you, mom. With a frown, though:]

Is that all that happened?

No, but it was definitely the most memorable.

Seems like it would be. You aren't a fighter, right? I'm surprised you weren't more injured.

Believe me, no one is as surprised as I am.

Well, it's a good thing, at least, even if it was just luck.

[Thoughtfully:]

What kind of monsters were they?

Giants... Though, there was one with a neck like a snake. So that was terrible.

[Her trauma... But, also:]

By the way, I didn't want to ask right away because that seemed rude. But what happened to your face?

Oh, gross...

[Hate that. But she blinks, then sighs.]

Someone didn't realize that I can't fight this week and started something out of nowhere without realizing I wouldn't be able to dodge.

Oh, my god. Who the fuck?

Someone who knows I'm going to pay him back for it once I'm back to normal!

[Her! Perfect face! But she sighs.]

Honestly, we do get in a lot of fights out of nowhere, so it's not unusual... But to think that he went for my face without even asking! Unforgivable, right?!

It seems pretty unforgivable even if he hadn't gone for your face?

Maybe...

[she cannot count the number of times she has tried to deck [redacted] in the face with 0 warning so she can't be too upset about this honestly]

Well, I'll make him regret it soon, at any rate.
