Right, that was enough excitement for one mission. Does anyone know why Viveca didn't teleport us out as soon as someone took the orb, like what happened last time? Or was it that Cheri- or Ruvia or whoever she really was- needed to give up ownership, and stealing it wasn't enough?

[If that's the case, they'll need to be ready to bargain and persuade on future missions, rather than hope that whoever they steal it from simply gives up hope of regaining the Orb.]

If anyone's injured- I know how to heal. You might need a few days of rest to make sure you don't disrupt the spells, but you'll mend more quickly than you would have otherwise. And if you're one of my students, feel free to come to the infirmary to help.

And- Apparently the Commander is real, and on the station. But what he said about the Orb growing vicious... are they shaped by the bargains they make, and the people that use them?

[It looked different from the Gyeonje Orb too, red instead of golden.]

All right, all right.

[He grins as the warning comes yet again, and it's so much easier to laugh now that the pain has subsided. Pretty incredible how quickly that happened, actually, and he takes a deep, satisfied breath. Only a bit of an ache, rather than that stabbing pain.]

You must have a lot of patients think you've instantly fixed them and then just charge right back into what got them hurt in the first place, huh?

[bindsthedead]

Well, it has happened once here already- and I'd rather it didn't happen again. Particularly since I'm healing quite a few people and I don't have an infinite amount of energy.

[callada]

Well, I'll try to do better than them as thanks. Your spell's already working wonders. You need anything, by the way? With people stopping by and keeping you busy, I don't mind grabbing you something to drink.

[Since, look, he's genuinely appreciative and doesn't really know how else to show it, but he can at least do her some small favor.]

[bindsthedead]

Could you get me- some coffee, and perhaps something to eat when you're next in the kitchen? I'm going to stay in the infirmary for the next few hours in case anyone needs me.

[callada]

Yeah, of course. I won't keep you waiting long. Good luck with your other patients, all right?

[Rosinante smiles brightly, he can't help it. The relief from the pain in his back has made such a difference already. And then stands, and finds that even then there's only a dull ache, like all he did was a few too many pull-ups the day before, and again it's so easy to see how someone could overdo it by thinking they're already fine.

Anyway, he won't stick around, he's got coffee and snacks to get.]

[bindsthedead]

Thank you. I'll be waiting and- hopefully I won't wear myself out in the meantime.
