[ 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?

[Locked | 90%] <3
Um... not right now. I just mean... if I could, and if you'd be willing to teach me...
[Locked | 90%] <3
Why the sudden interest?
[Locked | 90%] <3
[ She pauses at that. ] I've always wanted to learn more about healing and medicine. Ever since I got here, I mean. Back then, I thought... it was the only way I could still be useful. [ ... ] But now I want to learn so I can help my friends, and other people, too.
[Locked | 90%] <3
It's almost impressive of you. Ambitious, really.
[Locked | 90%] <3
[ Again, she pauses. ] Ambitious? Maybe... it probably is. But ... ambitious is okay. If it means I can help more people, then I'll be as ambitious as I have to be. [ She's growing up. ]

It's like I said to you when I first met you, Xion. It's just like being a martyr. But this place could use more healers. [If Xion were a doctor a few days ago, he would have dragged Hisoka to see her. Alas.]
[Locked | 90%] <3
[ A beat. And then, quietly, she smiles. ] Yeah. I think so too.
