[font=trebuchet ms]As she ushered the three newcomers away from the border, Rin cast occasional glances over her shoulder at the trees behind them. Still no sign of additional strangers, but the fur on the back of her neck continued to stick up. The growl of who she assumed to be Siborno ahead of her- she wasn't looking at his face, but the tone of voice didn't sound like anyone else who was gathered- did little to dissuade her from forging onward. He'd hardly be the most defiant patient she'd ever treated, and being tense was understandable under the circumstances.
Clony's chattering reverberated through her head, cheery and rapid-fire. "Yes, attacking people at a fashion show is illegal," Rin said, twitching her ears. "But this world is full of creatures who don't care about the law." Another glance at the forest, another confirmation that no one was following them.
At Aurum's first statement, Rin nodded. "Likewise." It was nice to see him again, yes. Part of her was hoping that learning the circumstances of his appearance here wouldn't change that. His second statement, however, drew a wry scoff from her. It was true, none of the other members of Elysium had been too terribly injured by the attack.
...Had he been there when she appeared after Caesar was chased off? She'd blacked out pretty soon after, so her memories of most of that night were a blur... Adjusting the bandages over the right side of her face, Rin commented, "Yeah, everyone came out in one piece. No thanks to Caesar."
Shaking her head, she asked, "How long ago did you find Siborno, and how long has it been since you patched him up?" Best to start covering the relevant questions now, to make treatment quicker when the time came. Glancing forwards towards the sea town, she added, "We're not far away now. Once we get inside, I'll get to treating him."
