[Mia wouldn't want to hear that, about her ribs - she thinks she took care of those already. But, no matter now. She takes a breath, shuts her eyes, and starts on the burns on Xion's arm.]

[ Oh, they're better -- but sore, still. Healing is a long, slow, frustrating process. As Xion is beginning to realize, at this point. She shuts her eyes as Mia works -- initially, at least, before she turns her attention to the ceiling.

She can already tell she won't be awake long after this. It makes her feel better, but it's exhausting. Still, she'll stay quiet for a time, letting Mia work... until curiosity gets the better of her. ]

Um ... can I ask you something?

[she can see and almost feel Xion tiring already. It doesn't surprise her. She wants to wait and heal her wrist while she sleeps, anyway; occasionally it aches to have bones come back together.]

Of course. What do you want to ask?

[action - morning of July 15th]

... what's your name?

[ Quietly, almost shyly. She feels bad -- this girl has obviously been here before, been helping her, and Xion has no idea who she is. ]

[Mia turns bright red at that. Of course she doesn't know her name. She hasn't been awake to hear it.]

I'm so sorry. It's Mia. ...That's been very impolite of me, hasn't it?

[ ... a single, weak laugh escapes her at Mia's reaction. She can't help but smile. ]

It's okay... we haven't spoken before today. It's not like we had the chance... [ Her smile is sad and amused all at once. ] It's nice to meet you, Mia.

[frost_jewel]

It's nice to meet you, too. I would prefer different circumstances. Your friends told me your name is Xion.

[She pats her shoulder, smiling again.]

Don't force yourself, if you're tired. It is fine if you fall asleep again.

Well ... I think that happens a lot here. Sometimes you meet the best people at the worst times... [ A brief grin. But then she yawns, which is pretty telling. ]

Okay, if you're sure... I am tired, still.

The best thing you can do for yourself now is rest. [And she's going to ask the others here to try and keep the parade of visitors to a minimum today.]

While you sleep, I can heal you a little more.

... okay. Thank you, Mia. So much. [ She settles, then -- shutting her eyes with a sigh. She feels safe with Mia here -- which, more than anything, is what lets her drift back to sleep. ]

[action - morning of July 15th]

[frost_jewel]

Of course.

[Once she is asleep, Mia will do what she can for her broken wrist. She might even stay for a while after that, knowing that the chances of Xion being disturbed by some other visitor are much smaller while she's there.]
