"Mm. Well, while I don't think that any sort of heavy work is in order, I do think that after a few days, once your shield has had a chance to build up and your wound has had a chance to heal a bit more," Sasha gave Rin's good arm a narrow-eyed look, "that maybe we should look into some sort of weight-lifting for the arm you'll be using to fight with."

"Weight lifting?" Ohhh Rin's lazy bones were all screaming all at once. Did she have to? She pouted at Sasha shamelessly, "But... that's like.. hard work." QQQQQQQQQ

"You're going to have to work twice as hard, Rin." Sasha pursed her lips.
"Twice as hard with one arm fewer than the rest of us."
Was she being too harsh on the other woman?
Nah.
"You've got to prove yourself capable all over again."

"Strength is not my... strength," Rin cleared her throat. "What I mean is... my problem has mostly been dexterity... not really muscle... besides, I'm not a sun. I just need to figure out how to tend other peoples wounds like this." And figure out how to tie regular shoes. She was very tempted to get more... suitable clothing once portals opened up again.

Sasha made a thoughtful sound.
"What is Byr's .. what does his charge do? Is it damage, protection?" She paused, tapping her chin as she moved to sit on the bed.
"I wonder if he'll change with you."

"It was healing... but Rep kinda... beat us to the punch," She gave a weary smile. Yeah, she finally named names but Sasha knew all along anyway. To deny it now would be like saying she thought the woman was too stupid to figure it out. She wasn't.
She looked a bit concerned at the possibility of change in all honesty. Healing was something she enjoyed and hoped to get better at... perhaps even a specific way of healing. Was this all over now? Was he going to be a destructive force suddenly? It pained her.

Sasha gave a pleased little clap of her hands.
"Ah, I'd forgotten! Then his charge is a non-issue - however, you still need to be able to attack in order to build his charge."
She lifted her brows.
"So, much as you'd like to not have to think about wielding Byr, the fact of the matter is - you have to."

"I... uh... never even considered difficulties with Byr?... I mean. I've not even tried cause losing an arm was hard on both of us. Like. He had to keep me alive through that and heal most of it and... I dunno. I never really attacked monsters before anyway... Just defended people who were," She raised her brows at Sasha, "I mostly use him otherwise in duels where there is no one to protect but me." Not to mention how personal duels were... and thrilling and.. mmm... yeah, no way would she stand around defending all day.

Sasha gave Rin a long look.
"So you're going to have to learn how to do everything you did before - but with only one arm."

"Well. Yeah. I can't even figure out deodorant yet without throwing out my shoulder so," relearning to fight was apparently not on the top of her to-do list. Though it should have been. She was so ******** come next mission.

Sasha's mouth kind of fell open a little.
"I.. that's kind of inconsequential in the bigger picture, Rin. If you can't do your job... I mean. Does.. am I making sense?"

"I dunno," her gaze fell straight to the floor and suddenly she wasn't so sure about anything anymore. She'd just... assumed she'd have time to get back on her feet. Figure out basics like eating and dressing first and THEN worry about defending and healing again. Going straight to the... it felt immediately overwhelming. Instant frustration causing a strangled sound in the back of her throat and after quickly rubbing a hand across her face turned to look at Sasha, "I'm going to die, aren't I?"

"No, you aren't going to die - but you don't have the luxury of being able to take your time. If we are a hindrance, if we are not an asset to this organization - we are a liability. If they hadn't thought that you might be able to provide something unique to Deus Ex, they wouldn't have fixed you up proper."
Sasha smiled, her expression softening.
"We will have to make do with what we have. You won't be given a keeper, Rin - but I will do my best to help you, just as Melvin will. And if I know Rep," which she did, "he'll help you, too. This is why I brought up the topic of weightlifting. Strengthening the muscles that you have available to you. Making them adapt, forcing your body to change the way it thinks."

"Ughh... but comeonnn... weights aren't it. I just need to like... get my brain to work better okay?" She fluttered her lashes at Sasha. As if dorkily flirting with her would get her off the hook.

"I'm trying to be serious, Rin," Sasha's lips formed a harsh line. "I'm trying to look out for you."
