[ It's been a long few days. Not nearly as long as it was for those on the draft -- a fact of which she is keenly aware -- but her heart feels so sore. Miyabi is dead, Kairi returned with a broken leg, Elicia reverted back to a little girl and left her that message that was so bittersweet... She feels a powerful need to find Nami and Sanji, to talk to both of them, but ... that ... maybe that should wait. Until she can look at them without crying... and comfort them, instead of being a burden. In the meantime, she needs to focus on something else -- actually put her energy into something useful.

An idea has been brewing in her mind for some time. And all of this mess -- all the pain and the fighting -- and Luke, coming to her just days before with a request -- has finally prompted her to act on it.

In her room there are quite a lot of books. They vary widely in subject, but there is one solid section dedicated entirely to medical texts, ranging wildly in their complexity. Teaching herself has been difficult; basic first aid is all well and good until you have to use it in an emergency situation, and anything beyond that...

Well. You just can't learn everything from a book. She knows that... has known for a long while she probably needed to do something like this. So when she opens up the journal, turning on the video function, she looks pensive.... but also quite serious. ]

Are there any doctors in the village who'd be willing to take on a student? I -- I know some magic methods of healing, but ... [ She shakes her head. ] I want to learn the real thing. I promise I'll work hard. Really hard. This means a lot to me.

[ A beat. ] And, if ... anyone in the village would like to learn some healing magic... [ She's already been teaching Haruhi, and now Luke. ] ... I'd like to help. I know some magic from my own world, plus I've got a lot of practice with Nala.

[ After that, a thought occurs to her. ]

Can I ask you something?

[On the bright side, Xion's managed to catch him post-mental breakdown.]

Believe you just did. [But yes, go ahead.]

[Locked | 90%]

... I know we've talked about defensive spells, but ... is there healing magic in your world?

[Locked | 90%] /ninjatagging from work sorry roxas you have to wait.

[hisdarkmark]

...there are spells that heal injuries, yes. If that's what you're asking. There's a handful for closing wounds and fixing broken bones. Why?

[Ven's missed Xion, since he was out on the draft. So, even if he doesn't know much about doctors, he's still willing to say something.]

Good luck, Xion. I'm sure there's somebody here who could teach you.

Thanks, Ven. I sure hope so. [ A beat. ] How are you doing? [ Speaking of the draft. ]

[Voice]

[perplexme]

...where are you right now? Home?

[Voice]

[fourteen]

[ A beat. ]

Yeah... why?

[maidenofdemise.livejournal.com]

I'd be glad to teach what I know. My skills lie with diagnosing illness and injury and making herbal remedies to treat them.

[fourteen]

Herbal remedies...? [ That piques her interest the most. ] I'd be really grateful! Um, what's your name?

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

[After finding Tear so injured, being unable to do anything about it... Luke felt so helpless during that time. It happens every time someone he cares for is hurt, and there's nothing he can do about it. All he can do is... fret, maybe carry them. He's useless.

It's why he went to Xion to ask if she could teach him how to heal. It's why now, when he sees that entry, he hesitantly speaks up.]

H-Hey, if you find anyone...

[Voice]

[ There's a pause when she hears this. She can't help but feel a rush of sadness at his voice. Oh, Luke... ]

Yeah, of course. I'll ask.

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'm a doctor in my world. I've taken certification for first-aid, CPR, and the like. I'd be willing to teach you, if you want.

[Or others who've been asking Xion to pass along names.]

[Voice]

Ami... [ Xion smiles. ] Thank you. Actually -- could I ask you another favor? [ She wouldn't feel comfortable asking the others this, but she knows Ami at least a little bit... and she's so nice. Maybe she'll agree... ]

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

But you want to learn what to do in case your magic ever fails you?

[voice]

[fourteen]

Or in case I run out of magic... which can definitely happen. [ Not to mention that she's usually exhausted by that point, so learning real medicine could save her energy. ] It just ... it seems important to know the real thing... so I know what I'm healing when I use my magic.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

I'd be willing to take you on, kid.

[ and she knows healing magic... maybe this could help him make a pact. ]

[ voice ]

[fourteen]

Really?! [ ... don't sound so excited and/or startled. She takes a deep breath. ] Thank you... I-- I really will work hard! Um... you work at the battle dome clinic, don't you? [ She spent two weeks there -- though he wasn't the one treating her, she remembers seeing him around. ]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Do you think your magic would work? Because, well, I've tried Nala? Didn't work out.

[Voice]

[fourteen]

[ ... ] It should... I've been teaching Haruhi, actually. And it worked! Did you want to try? [ She can't help but smile. It'd be nice to help Sokka for once... instead of the other way around. ]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

What about altternative methods, Xion-chan?

[voice]

[fourteen]

... huh?

voice

[soracles.livejournal.com]

That's a really good idea, Xion.

voice

[fourteen]

[ ... ]

Thanks, Sora. Um ... if you wanted, I could try to pass along some of what I learn.

voice

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Xion. Riku is... still a little hesitant, but he'll respond.]

You think they can learn magic from our world?

voice

[fourteen]

[ ... hi, Riku. ]

Yeah. I'm teaching someone else already.
