With who?

[She hasn't heard that particular name applied to Lancer before, and thus doesn't realize that's to whom Diarmuid is referring. At his question she lifts her arm up, looking down at the injury and - unintentionally - giving Diarmuid a clear view of it as well. The spike tore through her coat and sliced through her side, across her ribs. It shows some signs of healing, but it should still probably be looked at it. It should be clear that - without the healing - the injury would be much more serious]

It's... not as bad as it was. [A briefly sad look crosses her face] Shion isn't here to look at it though, I think...

[He's on a visit home, rather...]

[oathshackledbird]

Hmm...? Oh! You probably know him as Lancer. Cu Chulainn is his real name.

[Diarmuid draws in a breath and winces. He has seen enough wounds to know that one could have easily ended up fatal if she had been in just a different place or if whatever hit her had hit a little harder. The healing she has gotten is a start, but yes, it really needs mending more.]

I am tempted to make a run down to the infirmary. It will be easier for me than for the rest of you who are hurt...

[Too bad he hadn't thought of that before when he was getting the food. Of course, when she mentions Shion, he is distracted from this train of thought.]

It's been a while since I last saw him...

[attheclocktower]

[Ah. Lancer. The person who almost died. Xion decides to tactfully dodge around that part.]

I think he's back home. Not... gone home, but... when people here visit, sometimes.

[She lowers her arm again, her other arm wrapping around to cover her injury with a hand. She feels bad asking him to do that, especially knowing it'd take him a full hour at least to get down and back up.]

I can probably heal it a little, once I've rested a bit.

[The problem being that "rested a bit" has every liklihood of turning into "full on collapse"]</small.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid frowns slightly. He doesn't like the idea of Shion being away during this important time. Yes, it will be dangerous here, but...what if something happens that makes it so he can't return form his 'visit'?]

If you are worried about how long it will take me to get the supplies, please don't. Fortunately, I don't have to rely on the elevators like everyone else.

[Super speed has its pluses.]

I think you need to do more than rest a bit and your wound should not wait to be tended that long. Maybe someone will have left something up here. Will you give me a moment to look at least?
