ϡ - Chapter FiftyThree; recovery [action|voice]
[ Action ]
[ The draft had left everyone feeling disoriented and he was no exception. It might also have to do with the fact that his right wing was broken, along with his arm and a few ribs. His arm and ribs have healed quite a bit since then. The injuries now only light sprains that he wears a brace on his arm for. His wing, however, is taking much longer to heal and it's left him bed ridden for several days since the draft ended. Despite his general and easy return to almost full healthy Helios has been resting in the clinic for a few days. But today he's probably well enough to get up and have a short stroll around the village, maybe even play a little with Luminair and Maggir who are in Saori's care for the time being. Helios can be found at the bakery, library and then the clinic (when he's finally yelled at and dragged back there for being a bad patient) for most of the day. He looks better than he has been and he's not nearly as tired as he was, so overall he's making a pretty good recovery.
It's later into the evening when everything is winding down that he'll make a voice post over the network. ]

I know it-it's been rather rough on most of us these last few days. So I was w-wondering if anyone would like to do a potluck sort of endeavor at-at the welcome center? It could help us all wind down from the obvious thing. But, ah, it's-it's just a suggestion of course.
[ Because food makes everything better, right? ] Also if-if it's not too much trouble would anyone be willing to, ah, talk for a bit? It doesn't have to be about anything in particular, really. I-I've just been having a hard time sleeping lately- [ pain does that to you and of course the creeping sensations he gets when he dreams. Like he's being watched by something and it doesn't go away, it just never seems to go away.] -so perhaps I'll start off with a question. What's your favorite memory of home? It doesn't have to be one specific memory or event. I remember when I was little of going to the town near the castle and getting this fantastic ice cream from the ice cream parlor there. It was homemade, sweet and creamy, absolutely delicious; I haven't had ice cream that lived up to those standards yet. I've always tried to make it myself but it just never tasted quite like that type. [ Helios supposed that was a good thing. It would ruin the true artistry of the ice cream back home. ]
So if you want to talk, feel free to answer. Otherwise I hope you all have a good night.

[ He smiles though it is a tired and worn looking one. ] Loads better than when we first met. I only have a sprained arm now. [ And a broken wing, but he doesn't mention that. Jack can probably see for himself how its bent and limp against Helios' back. Compared to the other proper looking left one. ] And, ah, how are you?
[Action]
Well... physically anyway...]
I'm fine, thanks to you. If it wasn't for you then I'm sure I'd be the one in the bed right now.
[He gives a sigh and shakes his head.]
You're an idiot, you know that? But thanks...
[Action]
[ Maybe he was too nice for his own good. ] But you're welcome. I'm glad I did what I did back there. I-I don't regret my decision at all to help you. If it were anyone else I'd do it all over again and I-I have in the past. [ He's died in the process too. ]
[Action]
[Then again, he wasn't exactly above such reckless acts himself, though he might not have quite realised it yet.]
Well, what do you say we go for a drink sometime when you're feeling better? You seem like a useful guy to have around, so we might as well spend some more time together. It looked like you could use some kind of magic, for one thing.
[Action]
Oh! Um. I-I wouldn't be opposed to that. I don't drink much myself, but it's nice to do it once in awhile. But, yes, I do use magic primarily. It-it's rather common in my world.
