At first, when the girl's fingers touched the ears, they skittishly seemed to flick back. Yet, despite such an initial reaction, they seemed to relax.
"Ooooo... that feels nice, Layton!" Deep in the girl's chest, it sounded as if she was purring. Did normal girl's purr like that? In cat-like fashion, as ********* managed to find a place where the sensations felt best, she leaned contently into the feeling.
"I would like to think they are lifelike. However... I don't understand why you are apologizing, Layton." She smiled kindly to the girl. "You haven't done anything that would require any sort of 'sorries.'"

Hygiea almost missed ********* simple request as FredBob gave his simple short description of the cat she had only heard about hours earlier. Purple and grumpy and yet her excitement would still be there if the older boy had told him Zue had mauled people - and it seemed to dash all that stupid drama with Molly right out of her mind.
She now had a little more to go by and she would totally have to tell HugBell when they were able to go explore, because she also plans to do that after all. "Thank you!" She squealed to FredBob, her little hands went up in a very Flynn Rider 'yay' manner.
Then she turned to *********>, silly stupid grin still in place as she gave them a puzzled, "huh?" and then an, "oh, right!" What else would she be needed for. Her hands nearly in place for it to work she clapped them together and said aloud in her still happy manner, "Herbal Remedy!" She let her hands remain for a moment as a glow began to form and pulled them apart for another glowing orb to appear between her fingers.
Hygiea could feel her body rock a little from performing her magical little performance and she closed her eyes deeply before opening them again with a little head shake. Weird, she.. felt a little drained, perhaps a little tired even from doing it a second time - something she hadn't really done before. "Weird," she shrugged as she held the little orb out to Layton. "You have to eat it to work."

Layton was really, REALLY confused by ********* response to her petting. It was almost ... it was almost cat-like. Layton gave an awkward sort of laugh, but her heart wasn't in it. Either this girl took her cat animatronics way too seriously or ... she was part cat. Since the second was clearly impossible, Layton simply assumed she was a ... fanatic of cats. Also known as a "crazy cat lady."
Her hand dropped back down to her side.
Even stranger was when Hygiea performed her little ... dance? It was like something out of an action movie. There was a show Layton recalled she liked when she was little ... what was it called? Dragon ... sphere? Something like that. The light ball above Hygiea reminded her of that, and she almost laughed at the fact she was thinking of a cartoon.
As Hygiea handed her the ... seed? Orb? Layton smiled and accepted it. This girl was really little, about 12 ish? Layton wasn't good with ages. She rolled the orb around in her hand a little and glanced back at the twosome. They seemed completely serious about her eating this ... thingy.
Layton wasn't one to argue. She popped the ball of ... whatever it was into her mouth and chewed. Almost instantly she felt a weird sort of numbness ... She was completely aware of everything going on, but her limbs felt sort of tingly, like a painkiller. Well at least they had been telling the truth. "N-now what?" she mumbled.

"Atta' girl Hygiea!" the cat-earred girl cheered lightly as she gave the small glowing herbs to Layton. A hand drifted behind the child's head and gave her a couple scratches, almost as if she was now the pet.
"Now... hopefully that will be enough to take the edge off!" Pulling her head away from the fingers which had been scratching her just right behind the ears, she straightened up before extending her leg so her foot was essentially in Layton's lap. Five toes wiggled at her almost teasingly.
"With your good hand, you may want to grab onto this... in case it hurts." She clapped her hands together, then rubbed them up and down. When her hands parted again, she was already grabbing for the girl's poor shoulder where the bone had been dislocated from the socket. Within moments, ********* was actively trying to push everything back to where it was supposed to be.

Hesperis was going her best with Varya's arm, and her best ended up feeling... not too shabby, actually. The discomfort was tangible on the girl's face, but she did her best to ignore it.
It had to be done, and it would help - Momentary discomfort for a good cause.
"There you go." She said as she tied up the sling behind the girl's neck, not too tight, not too loose either. "How's that ? Does it need to be longer or shorter ?"
She wiped her hands on her coat - the space goo would probably be gone when she next powered up, she knew. "I don't think this is... the constellation itself, per-se. A place named after it, perhaps ? Pretty sure Virgo is the senshi of the constellation, through..."
As for her name ? Well. "Hesperis. Well, one of my names. But I answer to that just fine."
Then Molly talked. Hesperis' eyebrow started twitching. Valhalla would probably recognize the signs of irritation in the younger page - like if she was a second away from summoning her staff and giving the brat a good smack to see if it might straighten her mind - what little she might have - back on. Instead, Valhalla and Ganymede both got thumb ups.
"Nice handling of the 'princess'." From the sneer, that was a compliment. She didn't know the blonde senshi all too well, sure, but he was on Callisto's... team, wasn't he ? And she needed him on her side to keep her safe, at the very least.
Beside, bitching out people who were helping you ? Shiiiiittty. Douche move, yo.
She kind of wanted one of the tiny senshi to tape her mouth shut. They seemed... Very at ease and useful, given that most of them were still probably busy mentally ******** class="quote">LadyNozomi

Why do I need to grab onto th-
Layton screamed. Layton screamed so loud. She was crying and screaming, the whole bloody mess.
Even with Hygiea's little painkiller, it was still intense pain. Layton wasn't exactly the "beefiest" human here- her most invigorating activity was probably swimming, and even that she wasn't very good at. She'd never broken a bone before, let alone had a shoulder dislocated. This was all sorts of new pain.
Her hand gripped ********* foot, not in a death grip, but certainly harder than usual. She was trying really hard not to bruise it or anything, but dear God it just hurt so. much.

Hygiea had heard many screams in her life, some from brothers who got themselves hurt or from the other kids when she punched them in the nose. Even her own when she got injured by various means. Layton's really wasn't any different, even if it was from a new person and via a severe means - setting shoulders never looked fun.
The other girl's cry did startle her, however, never allowing her to smile at ********* for the sign of affection and also making her realize she had a rather big hat on her head. When the heck did that appear? It had slide down over her face when her body jerked from surprise, nearly falling to the ground until she caught it with both hands and held it secure as can be with her looped pigtails. Hygiea winced, sympathizing with Layton over her experience and.. well, she didn't like the crying.
When it seemed like ********* actions were complete, Hygiea loosened a hand from the brim of the hat to tug and free the pink cat plush that she had decided to stuff into her belt like usual. She held the doll towards Layton awkwardly, not sure if cuddling it would be helpful at all. ********* had told her to mind her manners, and telling the other girl to 'suck it up' didn't fit into that.

"Oh!" Steven looked at the popsicle sticks Hug-Bell provided and nodded enthusiastically before he fished his leatherman out of his pocket. "Give it here, I can cut them." He knew having that thing in space would eventually be some good, even if landing on the pocket it was residing in gave him a nasty bruise earlier when he fell.
With a cut piece of popsicle stick and some more tape off the roll he had, he was satisfied with his jury-rigged finger splint. Now hopefully it'll heal as fast as the others seemed to be. It already felt like it was but really, common sense wouldn't allow him to believe it was really that simple.
"Thanks, kid!"
But then Layton screamed in pain, rightfully so, and.. oh god, Steven seemed physically hurt by the sound given the way he cringed.

It wasn't long before her ears were flattened against her head. It wasn't a surprise that Layton was screaming, but it didn't make it any less harsh on her ears. Of course, it almost felt like her foot was suffering from an enormous cramp, due to all of the tight squeezing going on at that appendage. Again, ********* really couldn't blame the girl for her reaction.
It took a few moments, which meant a few moments worth of screaming were shrieking nearby. Yet eventually, something seemed to pop back into place, and ********* was able to let out a small sigh of relief. "Pheeewwwww... there we go!" However, the treatment was not quite done for Layton.
"...I'm going to bandage your shoulder a bit so it doesn't move around too much for now. Then we'll be all done I think!" ********* gladly exchanged her foot for Hygiea's ever constant companion, the pink toy cat. Once she had her foot back, the guardian then carefully moved Layton's arm so that there was room for ********* to start bandaging.

Layton nodded weakly at ********* through her tears and attempted to say, "Th-thank you." She whimpered a little bit out of pity for herself.
As ********* bandaged her up, she could feel herself slipping off the face of the Earth (was this even Earth? Layton wasn't sure anymore). She thought of all the things she had experienced so far. The space whale, losing Callum, the "senshi." It was quite a bit for one day.
Perhaps it would be better if she just ... nodded off ...
When ********* was done, she nodded and thanked her timidly, and then snuck off to a bed, where she promptly fell asleep.

Camelot wasn't sure he saw anyone else that needed help, that wasn't being handled already, so he focused on the unpacking and setting up, and checking on those that had already been helped.
He wanted to make sure everyone was comfortable.
He would continue this work, and aid anyone who came to him, in any way he could. If that meant treating wounds or simply offering comfort and company, he would do it. It wasn't an easy thing to accept, being a civilian in space, and he imagined they would need as much 'normal' as they could get.
Even if it was coming from a man dressed up as a knight.
In any case, he went to the table of supplies and started up with that again, content to busy himself with work for as long as there was work to do. And the way it looked, that might be a long time.

Hug-bell had noticed Layton left Barnaby and it was a good thing because no sooner than the girl went to lay down the bear began to shrink. The child hopped over to the bear and picked him up before putting him back into his sub-space pocket.
"Now then..." She said softly before looking around. Looked like everyone was taken care of for the most part. She decided now would be the prefect time to slip off an explore. So she did!

The girl she had been helping with ********* was out finally, the screams had died down and well her thanks were at least said. Hygiea gave the guardian catgirl a lopsided grin as decided to place the untaken cat plush back in the loops of her belt for safety.
That job was done and she turned to see what other such work she could possibly help with, even though she still felt a little woobly, when she noticed HugBell take off. "Aa!" She voiced out, grabbing onto the brim of ********* hat with both hands. "HugBell! Wait up!"
Her friend was going to explore? She totally wanted to go! Hygiea took a few steps to follow the senshi of comfort, not without a quick turn to ********* to give a small indication that she was leaving, and then continued on.
