Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ara was still wounded, even after the healing that Hy-Brasil had done on the little girl, and Jada was sore and bruised herself. She had pulled Ara away from the mess, leaving the fate of Metis in the air, the question of what had happened to General Candy Cane- it didn't matter right now. She had asked the kid to have her back, then Scylla had run off into danger and dragged a child with her, and Ara had been seriously wounded for it. It could have been so much worse- it could have been something tragic, it could have been-

Well. It was terrible, not it could have been terrible. The guilt gnawed at her stomach as she moved away from the scene of the battle, her hand firmly wrapped around Ara's own, guiding her carefully away from the damage and the battle left behind. "Are you okay?" she asked the young woman who was close to her, anxious. "Do you still feel good Ara? Or did you want me to take you to Denebola's house? A hospital?"

She needed to get her far away before people started searching the area- not the Negaverse she was worried about right now, but civilian people. the power out would get attention soon, and the terrorists- well. They would, naturally, be blamed. She wanted the two of them away before people came looking for faces to blame.

"No hospitals, then. We don't want your mommy to take you back to England." Scylla gave the younger woman a smile, her brow furrowing in concern. they were mommy's friends- was her mommy a doctor or a nurse? That might be a good thing for Lucia if her mommy was, but the horror that would come from seeing her child being injured could drive away a valuable medical professional that the city needed.

The question about Denebola was an interesting one. "Denebola can be nice," she said with a smile, "Unless you're bad. I have someplace else I need to go, though, so I want to take you where you think you will be the safest and the most comfortable before I have to let you go. She has a nice, large house, and there is medical equipment there."

Shaking her head, the senshi led Ara futher away from the site. "The building will be fine eventually. The youma broke a lot, but the city will be able to fix it all up good as new in a couple of days. Youma break a lot of stuff; I am real sure they are learning new and better ways to fix broken buildings all the time."

"That would be very bad," Scylla agreed, and her smile to the younger senshi was genuine. "You're on track to be very brave and very strong, and now we just need to make sure you remember to be very smart about it too. But that's what friends are for, to help you keep yourself protected too, right?"

Ara's concern was kind, and the senshi of the Kraken nodded to the younger woman. "I'll be just fine. I'm already healing up," she assured, and pointed to a scratch on her arm. "I think that was a lot worse a few minutes ago. Senshi magic makes things get better faster, remember?" Well, she thought it was worse. Maybe it was that other scratch? Eh. "Go to Miss Denebola's house and get patched up, Ara, and call me on your senshi cell phone when you're almost home so we don't worry about each other."

The younger woman was very kind. Jada wanted very much to help keep her safe and see her grow into the best senshi she could.

Scylla's arms wrapped easily around the younger woman, and she was able to keep her wincing face well-hidden from the younger senshi as the scrapes and scratches pulled.

"You be safe too, Ara. I'll see you soon, I promise."
