Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah, everyone did really well." It had turned out pretty well for a Sahara mission. "It was good to see everyone working together and helping out. Still. I was glad to have someone with your training around."

"You'll have to teach me some of that, sometime," she said. "I've been slacking on my medic studies."

"Great!" Sherry was genuinely enthusiastic about him going over the basics with her. She might have been in Life, and she might always have bandages on hand, but when it came to using them, well. She'd not practiced with them nearly enough. She relied a bit too much on weapons for that sort of thing.

"Yeah. I need to work on it, though." She sighed. "Once upon a time I wanted to be a nurse. I'm.... not anything like a nurse now. More, archeologist than nurse." She laughed, and then looked at Jason again.

"Is that what you do? Field medic stuff?"

"Oh, I see." Sherry was nodding. "Surgeons are and doctors are certainly needed."

She looked back at Jason. "From what I've seen, you're pretty good at it." She was, of course, referring to recent situation with Kai.

"Helping people is one of the greatest things anyone can do, I think. I'm glad we have people like you around to do it."

Sherry was nodding in agreement. Always needed more. "We really do need to make sure more trainees get bandage clearance." Sherry didn't say there were other runics she'd never been cleared for, but she DID have her bandages.

"I look forward to it. You know more than I do, and that'll be a big help."


Sherry glanced around the room. "Any word on how long you're laid-up for?" She knew it was bad if his weapon was tired out, but still.

"Aha, yeah it is." Sherry had her own memories of the battle arena. It could be tricky.

"Not too bad, then," she said with a hopeful tone. "A week or so isn't bad at all." Or well, it was on the worse end of things, but that didn't matter.

"I'm glad you can read all of that." A gesture at the machines. "I like to help out here," she meant the infirmary, "but I never really got training on the technical side of things."

Sherry sighed a little. Sometimes she felt like she should have done more with the healing side of her division. She might be more helpful then.

"So tell me," she said, changing the subject again, "Do you like to read? I can bring you some books or something." She was going to helpful to Jason, at least.

"Understandable." She had started branching out before she ever got far enough for the real infirmary training. "Good work learning it all." It was a sincere compliment.

"Good." She would have to bring him something to read then. "French, huh?" Right, Solia. Sherry had to smile. That was sweet of him. "I bet I can dig up one or two. Give you something to relax with while you're here."

She pulled out her notebook to make a list. French, she wrote.

"While I'm at it, is there anything else you need? Want?"

Sherry's smile only grew warmer, between his sighs about infirmary work and the color on his cheeks at the mention of French. So much to study and for all the right reasons, she thought.

"It's no trouble, so if you think of anything else, be sure to let me know." She was serious, Jason. What had happened had clearly been bad for both of them, not just her. She wasn't even in a hospital bed, which meant she was in a much better position for helping him out. "I'm serious, though. It's no trouble."

She closed the notebook and tucked it away again. "Did you want me to get the books now, or do you want to tell me how you and Solia met?" Sherry was curious, okay. "Of course, you don't have to tell me at all if you don't' want to! I didn't mean to pry." The question had just kind of tumbled out.
