[Sakura isn't facing the sphere, she's looking elsewhere. Her voice is kind of distant, stressed, but calm.]

I must request that people avoid the medical tent for the time being. I'm sorry. For now it's better just to call me if you're hurt, I'll come to you no matter what.

[Even if it would be more convenient to keep the injured in one area. She's

Sakura, I wish to thank you for your assistance. [Ammy bows her head respectfully, then leans back against the rock wall of the cave.]

Should I ask what has happened to the medical tent? Is there a reason why it must be avoided?

[fearlessflower]

Amaterasu... [Sakura still looks worried.]

I should give you a second treatment just to make sure. How are you doing?

There's a reason. It's too dangerous right now, just avoid it, alright?

[celestial_okami]

I am doing well. After Asher cauterized the wound, and you cared for me, Emil gave me something he called a gel that healed me the rest of the way. I am adjusting, but I still have one hand, even if sometimes it feels as if I still have the other. That is...an unusual sensation that I must grow accustomed to, it seems.

[Filtered to Sakura]

What is it? I do not plan on going far at this rate, I grow tired easily and I do not wish to have another accident. Did one of the holes open up inside the tent?

[fearlessflower]

You lost a lot of blood. I can give you some chakra to help your energy levels later, but I think it's a good idea for you to take it easy for now.

[Filtered to Amaterasu]

There's a very dangerous person from my world staying there. He looks like Itachi, but he isn't. I don't want anyone getting near him.

He's promised me not to hurt anyone but I don't trust him.

[poison_dango]

[Well this is a surprising bit of news.]

Haruno, what's wrong? Is it...is he there?

[fearlessflower]

[Tightly spoken, she's pretty stressed.]

Yes.

[poison_dango]

[Well that's just about the definition of 'not-good'.]

Leave, now. Don't go back.

[fearlessflower]

[Sakura would agree with that.]

When I ask people to stay away that includes you Miss Anko.

[bolganone]

Did something happen to it?

[fearlessflower]

It's just not safe Tormod.

[bolganone]

[...Frown.] Why? What's wrong?

[fearlessflower]

There's someone dangerous there.

[minding_mirrors]

[looks a little surprised, but doesn't ask]

How many injuries have there been so far?

[fearlessflower]

[She looks very very tired.]

Amaterasu, Yazoo, the younger Riku, the fellow who lost his fingers, Oliver... We lost the older Riku. Itachi's sick and he has someone else who's hurt but he won't let me see them.

I'm not sure. I might be missing people.

... Did I thank you for sitting with me before, Guy? How are you holding up?

[minding_mirrors]

That's quite a list. You would think people would be more careful, the way things are. But maybe it's harder to keep an eye out than I thought.

[still smiles, more in the 'making it okay' way than the situation actually being worth smiling about]

I'm fine. It might sound strange, but as dire as this situation is, I feel much better than I did when the paranoia was effecting me. At least I can deal with all of this rationally.

[fearlessflower]

I wish I could be optimistic that it won't get longer.

[She smiles back, the same sort of tired look.]

That's good at least. I don't think it sounds strange, at least if we're stressed now, it's honestly our own stress, right? Tell me if you need my help with anything, even just to talk.

[bluewhitecross]

It's no problem.

[fearlessflower]

Would you stay with Amaterasu? I'd feel better if you were with her. [Mainly because you're more sensible than she is.]

[bluewhitecross]

Alright.

[fearlessflower]

Thank you. [This is considerable relief in her voice.]
