Reeve walks past, wordless, going down the hall to his room. The door opens with a dry, disused creak, and the room, vacant and spartan, looks clean, if dusty. It doesn't take long to sink in, though, and all the memories located with that space come back to him. Closing the door, Reeve puts his attention and emotion back into fluteplaying.
~ Is she alright, Sage?~

Irianna turns her head to look at Sage, but doesn't mover otherwise. She looks at his ectoplasm-encased arm with concern and says, "I got bruises, scratches, splinters, and I passed out earlier today. You have what looks like third degree burns and your clothes are in tatters. I do believe you won, or lost as some might say, in the department of injuries."
After issuing another yawn, she mutters to Sage, "There's something I want to tell you about, but it can wait for later. Until then, I have a jar of aloe vera in my bag. If you think it might help those burns, then use as much as you want."
Violet eyes flick to the Rai sensei, already back to playing his flute. She smiles and says, "Thanks, Reeve. I probably would have spent the night in the woods had you not come along."

He grins, putting down his flute for a moment.
"I've had one too many nights out in those woods to let that happen. Have you been assigned a room yet?"

Sage nods to reeve, " she looks fine...if you have some tweezers I can take out the splinters...as for the burns...they're not as bad as they look. After all, in a day or so the crystal structure here will change into a replacement layer of skin. As for the aloe...thanks. "
Sage moves over to Iri's bag and sits down next to it. He then reaches his left hand into it and takes out the aloe vera. Holding the jar in his palm, he uses the tips of his fingers to undo the lid, after which he sets the jar down. He then takes a dab onto his finger tips, and when he moves to apply it to his arm, the ectoplasm in the area where he's apply it liquifies and pulls itself out of the way, moving back into place and resolidifying as his fingers move with the application. As he works, he hums a strange tune that seems to hang in the air.

Irianna responds to Reeve. "Nope, no room for me. But I usually spend the night in a tree anyway, so it doesn't matter. I would only use a room every once in a while, like when I'm too worn out to flap my way up into a tree." She stretches her wings a little and says with a chuckle, "I'm like a bird in more ways than appearance, my friend."
Then Irianna looks back to Sage. "Heh, I owe you plenty, so don't worry about it. And there should be a pair of tweezers in a little velvet pouch in an interior pocket of my bag."

"Aye, but I should probably issue you one, for paperwork reasons. It doesn't hurt to have a place to store your stuff, either. Although, I rarely use mine. I prefer the woods, too, me Avian friend."
He looks down the hall, mentally checking which were available.

As he finishes applying the aloe, Sage recaps the jar and sets it back into her bag. " oh? then I'll get those tweezers and remove the splinters before they get nice and compfy in your flesh. After all, they stick around in there too long, and they'll start bringing their buddies in. And you don't want to contend with their buddies, the infectious brigands."
Am I ever thankful that my arm is numb right now...if it weren't I don't think I could be talking right now...oh the wonders of a psychic trance.
After speaking, Sage reached around inside of her bag. After a few minutes of one handed digging, he brought out a pair of tweezers. He then leaned over a bit and began the careful work of removing iri's splinters. "now this is going to hurt a bit...so bear with it and keep it as a lesson on what you need to remember to avoid or do to keep from this happening next time whatever you did that caused this."

The woman smiles at Reeve in acquiescence and responds with a mutter of gratitude. Irianna says nothing else on the matter. If Reeve is thoughtful enough to bother with the idea, then it would be rude to further object.
Then Irianna is too busy keeping her mind off the pain of Sage's aid to worry about anything else. "Yeah, I'll tell you about how I managed to get this way after I take a little time to rest. Suffice it to say for now that I took your advice."

With a smirk, Sage stopped plucking for a few moments, " oh? then it's good that it was only this much that happened. it shows that you have talent to be able to survive experimentation with little to no training. however...I would suggest that if your training does this to your back, perhaps you should wear a protective layer of armor, or a pillow back here. All you need is some rope to jury rig it. around the waist, around the neck, and tying between waist and neck to prevent choking."
As he spoke, he resumed his plucking of the splinters from her flesh.

" Don't feel like y'have t'use it, but yours will be the third on the left, down there. Oh, and if you like, I've got a sedative that'll numb those splinters pretty well..."

An expression of wonder crosses Irianna's features. Now why didn't I think of that? Then her expression is slightly irritable. I do believe that brings the factors I didn't consider to a count of two. Never again will I be that hasty, damn it!
"You could very well be a genius, you know that, Sage?"
Irianna glances at Reeve, her eyes peeking out from over the arm of the couch. "Thanks again. But I'll be okay without a sedative. The aloe vera has helped the pain quite a bit. And I'll set up that room tomorrow morning. Tonight, though, I'll content myself with my spot on the couch."
The woman lets her head drop back to the couch cushion. She can feel herself slipping away again, but this time into sleep instead of unconsciouness. Violet eyes blink slowly a few times before becoming too heavy to keep open. Her breathing deepens. Just before she falls asleep, Irianna mutters her thanks to Sage and Reeve once more, thinking as she does that she will be hard pressed to repay them some day.
(( Got to sign off. I've been online much later than I meant to be. Later!))

Sage smirks, and before Iri drifts off to sleep, Sage says, " maybe...but hindsight is always 20/20."
As she drifts off to sleep, Sage finishes removing the splinters from her back, piling them up on a napkin and using a bit more of iri's aloe vera on the spots that he had to tweeze the splinters out from. Sage then turns to Reeve, " so...know of anything good to drink that will get rid of headaches?"
((sleep well, see ya later))

Reeve smiles, reaching under the couch cushions to produce a blanket, stowed away just for occasions such as this. Covering Iri's sleeping form, he remarks, "Aye, I've got a cure for headaches. Might make you sleepy, though."

Sage nodded a bit, " sleepy is fine...it's better than the headache thats starting to build from the pain I've been ignoring. So if you could prepare it quickly, it would be nice."

Reeve nods and walks into the kitchen, pouring a few select herbs into a cup of water, which he makes boil with the help of electricity.
"Drink that," he says as he returns. "Ought to tase like cinnamon."
