"Eh?" Ralph glanced aside at Katelyn, then laughed. "That are a lot of questions, so let's start with the first one? I'll get down to the other two questions later

Kalinka calmly sat herself on the nearest stone bench, thinking of how she didn't particularly wish to help or view Ralph even partially undress herself. For the moment, Kalinka rested in stony silence, her covered arms crossed in her lap.

It wasn't hard for Kalinka to guess what the army wouldn't have liked about Ralph, especially considering Katelyn was meant to be treating the very same wound. Why bother not telling the truth in a modern army, though, aside from pride or self-delusion? Let me get this straight... You lied to become a trained killer, then almost got yourself killed for your trouble, simply for just so happening to be on the wrong sidewalk at the wrong time. That's the least impressive way to be dispelled short of illness, not that it isn't a horrible organization the first place. After that, you likely used sympathy and your pull with an old friend to get your lecherous self into a school full of young girls. It must keep getting better from here.Finally leaning forward with her chin in her hands, Kalinka

Fearing that once again she was growing too chatty, Katelyn resisted the urge to ask him any further questions. However, it would not be polite to pump a classmate full of strange, unknown magical energies without explanation of the changes it would cause within one's body, so she did stop to describe those for the benefits of both her classmates

"I understand," Ralph nodded to the explanation given. She did her best to sit still when Katelyn cut through the bandages, though she did flinch once or twice when she felt a startling coldness against her skin.

She listened to the Kate's chanting, even though she did not understand a single word from it. Ralph smiled softly, almost relieved, when the worst pains faded away.

"That language... It sound familiar, but I don't recognise it. It's not Sylvan, is it?"
