injury - entry #5

[winterobsession]

I will be exiting Treno shortly.

I don't recall exactly how I ended up here in this hellhole of people but I should be leaving. Especially after sustaining the injuries to my upper back in that unexpected confrontation. *sighs*
They are painful...almost suprisingly so...
My shield, at least, came out mostly unharmed.
I spent too long on it to

...You did not mean to enter the tournament?

Hm. Either way, it was a good fight.

[winterobsession]

A good fight?
In all honesty, Miss, it felt rather one-sided.
You had the higher level of skill and the obvious advantage.

But, ah, all the same, thank you.

[rush_her_away]

Heh. Thank you. And it's no problem.

You’re in Treno? That's not "around Kalm" just to let you know. And in a fight? Okay, how’d THAT one happen?

…Are you okay?

[winterobsession]

I'm leaving Treno, and YES, I realize that Rikku, thank you.
It was an accident. I was given directions to the tournament and was forced into a match...it didn't end in my favor, obviously.

Am I okay? ...well, yes, altogether, I am. I was burned across my back however. It is...slightly unpleasant.

[machinalove]

But I mean, you thought you were somewhere near Kalm and you were actually in Treno. That’s kind of a long way off. Whoever gave you directions was a real zang rayt. Why are people so mean?
A match? OH! You were in the struggle tournament! The one everyone was talking about. Well, uh, that’s okay. I mean, most people were preparing for awhile. Though I can’t really see you fighting much.

Slightly? You can say it hurts, ya know. Should you really still be traveling with an injury?

[winterobsession]

...forgive, it's been too long since I attempted any Al Bhed. *sighs* I don't know, Rikku, and I don't care too. It was a mistake placing myself amongst so many of them, I think.

Yes, the 'struggle tournament'.
I don't normally fight. The battlefield is not really my place. I can defend myself, hinder the enemy, and what have you...but no, I do not fight.

*moves to shrug, and winces* It does hurt, but it's interesting as well. I hadn't seen a weapon like her's before, and the pain is fascinating...I mean, it is...yes. Hm. It's to my upper back. I see no reason not to.

How's the travelling going, Vexen? I heard you were in a tournament. Er... sorry about your loss.

[winterobsession]

The loss was inevitable, Baralai, but thank you. I'm simply not one made for fighting. Not on my own anyway.

The travelling? Unfortunate, I think. But, we'll see.

And yourself, Baralai? How are your travels?

[heroic_silence]

Hmm. Given your current rate of progress, perhaps it would be easier if I came to you.

[winterobsession]

Ah. Yes. Lexaeus, I apologize. But I am afraid Miss Rikku will not me travel far in my present condition...

[heroic_silence]

In that case, I shall meet you. Where are you currently staying?

[winterobsession]

A small apartment in Alexandria. We can't meet there...perhaps out on the street? I shall have to send you directions...
