[Well, this is embarrassing.  Despite what a certain Falenan knight told a certain tactician at homecoming - no, Lyon never had any formal training in how to dance, and it is not at all like the footwork involved in swordplay.  She did manage to get a bit of dancing in with the Prince, but took a rather unfortunate spill a few songs in and twisted

[Susan is nothing if not observant. When Lyon enters the room and leans on every desk as she goes down the row for support, she'll raise an eyebrow. Class doesn't start for some few minutes yet.]

Something the matter, Lyon?

[float_like_a]

[And she finally manages to hobble back into her seat, sitting there and smiling.]

No! I'm fine!

[best liar]

[deaths_heritor]

...The sides of your mouth are twitching, Lyon.

[float_like_a]

Well... I may have hurt my ankle. A little.

[waffuport]

[That limp is definitely noticeable there...]

What happened to your leg? Did you hurt it?

[float_like_a]

Oh, Viki!

[Lyon frowns a little.]

I twisted my ankle at the dance.

[waffuport]

What, what, really? Are you okay? Does it hurt??

[Attempting to inspect it!]

[float_like_a]

[Yeah, there's still swelling there - enough that she definitely shouldn't be walking around on it.]

It still hurts, but I think it's getting better.

3; everyone should have a 'caesar was right tag' B)

[commentboxtroll]

[If the tray is giving her trouble, then she's lucked out on Friday. Caesar has finally grown tired of seeing her drag herself around like this and just so happens to step into the lunch line right before she can pick her tray back up.

He'll take that.]

Do all knights really enjoy suffering? It seems to be a trend no matter where in the world you are.

[float_like_a]

[Lyon smiles as Caesar takes her tray.]

Oh, thank you--

[But then she sees who it is and braces for incoming trolling.]

I didn't do this on purpose.

[commentboxtroll]

You may not have twisted your ankle on purpose, but you've dragged yourself to school these past two days by your own choice.

[He could add 'ha, I was right', but that they both already know that.]

Where are you sitting? I'm not going to stand around holding this forever, you know.

[float_like_a]

I can't just stay home forever. I already spent the first three days lying around on the couch. It was driving me crazy.

[Lyon's look is somewhere between grateful and guilty at this point.]

Oh, my seat is over there.

[Pointing.]

...Thanks.

[ Don't think your injury goes unnoticed by her. She stares at her for a moment or two before clearing her throat a bit to alert her to her presence. ]

Ahem, if you don't mind, miss - may I have a look at your ankle? I know enough about sprains that I can recommend how to take care of it. And, shouldn't you have crutches with you?

[ ALL OF THE FUSSING - she has it. ]

[float_like_a]

Oh, no, it's fine. I've been resting it since Saturday.

[Yeah. Still pretty unsteady on her feet, though.]

[notalwystrthful]

Still, you need to take care of it until your ankle feels better. Come on, let me take you to the infirmary.

[float_like_a]

Oh, I really don't think that's...

[Yeah, and then her leg buckles under her. She catches herself against the wall, so thankfully she doesn't re-injure anything, but it was close.]

...maybe you're right.

[One her way home from school, she'll pass a creepy man with a bag over his head.]

Oh, hey, did you hurt yourself?

[float_like_a]

Oh, it's nothing serious. I should be fine in a few days.

[sob she actually has never met Black Mage

sort of side-eyeing that paper bag though]

[inthenertz]

Yeah, probably. I mean, so long as you take care with those crutches you'll probably be fine too.

Well, good luck with that, I got some business to take care of.

[Murder some children.]

Oh, yeah, before I forget.

[float_like_a]

Thank you. I'll be careful.

...Hmm? What is it?
