Yari Takane (691) has posed:
It's been a tense few days ever since Archer destroyed Sanary's village and her subsequent sequestering to Confed Medical. In between her duties, she's been all but camping outside Sanary's room, and when word comes that she can finally enter?

Five minutes later Yari is into the room with a place of home-cooked crab and pasta with garlean garlic sauce, and a cup of tea.

She'd apparently learned how to make pigs' blood tea at some point.

"Sanary, I'm coming in." In the woman goes!

Sanary Rondel has posed:
     Physically, Sanary's looking fine. Mostly, anyway. Aside from some bandages wrapped around her chest and shoulder, she appears to be recovering just fine!

     Mentally... Well, she's not huddled into a corner and trembling any more. That's a plus! She even looks over as Yari enters the room, a light grin forming on the girl's lips. "Hey, Yari. Smells good... Ah. Sorry if I worried you."

     She scoots over a bit on her bed to leave an empty space on the side, waving the Au Ra over while pushing herself up into a sitting position. "Haven't been out too long, have I?"

Yari Takane (691) has posed:
Oh no, Yari isn't having any of that! As Sanary sits up, she shuffles her tail over, and tries to drag the girl right back down! Into comfy ninja lap and chest! Then that tray is given over. Seems Yari wants to be a ninja-cushion right now.

"You're not getting away!" Comes the girl firmly, her worry palpable.

"Just a few days. Don't apologize. I..." She stops, then shakes her head. She won't dwell on what happened.

"How are you holding up?" Starts Yari gently enough.

Sanary Rondel has posed:
     So much for sitting up! Sanary's easy enough to pull back down, at least, and she's definitely not going to stop Yari from bringing her back down if she really wants to be a pillow.

     "Okay, okaaay. I'll be good." The healer lets out a light laugh and reaches up to pat Yari's cheek, shifting around a bit to get her head into a more comfortable position on her before starting on the food. She's careful not to spill any of that pasta or tea, although her movements are still quite a bit slower than normal.

     "You..?" Sanary raises an eyebrow at that lack of sentence-completion, but doesn't linger on that while sipping on the tea. She does go quiet once she recognizes that familiar scent, however, nuzzling into Yari a moment later without saying anything else about that.

     "... I-I'm doing as good as I could be, I guess. Got some more directions to work with now, so that's a thing. Has anything big happened lately? Heard you've been transferred recently..?"

Yari Takane (691) has posed:
Yari nods sagely. This is how recovering Sanaries should be, all snugged and warm!

"Good." Smile!

She's silent for a bit, then nods slowly.

"Nothing major. A few more issues with those Crey bastards. Otherwise, things have been quiet.

That brings a sigh to Yari.

"The issues with the Dravanians have gotten worse, and the Emperor has recalled all troops to defend Garlemald's borders. I'm the 'peace offering' to the Confederacy to ensure continued relations." There's more to it than that, but, she can't exactly speak on it.

"What are you going to do now, Sanary?"

Sanary Rondel has posed:
     Sanary's more than pleased with that food Yari's brought, especially considering the quality of the food in medical. Nutritious, but severely lacking in taste!

     "Mm... That sucks to hear. Er. The problems, that is. It's great having you here, though." She shifts around again and nuzzles once more for good measure, getting a good amount of pasta into her face before settling back again.

     "First I've heard of people being sent around as peace offerings, though... Hrm. How do you feel about all of it, anyway?" She pauses at the question about her own plans, a low hum escaping Sanary as she stares at the ceiling.

     "Starless told me a few ways to get stronger. I was wondering if you could show me your ninjetsus later to try and learn that, actually." She smiles awkwardly at that while rubbing the back of her head. "If you got time, I mean. Uh. And she talked to me about how to use it, too. Kinda like how we did with that one woman from last time, but on a..."

     And then she pauses again. "... Crap. Did you remember to feed her?"

Yari Takane (691) has posed:
Yari smirks a little.

"Oh don't worry, I left her plenty of dog food to eat!"

Yari tenses beneath Sanary.

"...I wish I was out there fighting, but, the time here with you and being able to ensure I can influence the Multiverse..."

"It's strange. It gives me freedom I'm not used to. I feel a bit lost, but liberated as well." She definitely sounds conflicted.

Yari perks up a little though. "I'd be glad to. Miss Kagenashi will be tutoring me as well. We should share anything we learn!"

Sanary Rondel has posed:
     Sanary laughs. Should she feel bad about that? Maybe. Does she? HELL NO.

     "Freedom's good. You'll get used to it. Just being able to do whatever feels right, not being tied down to doing things one way if you don't like it... I'll ease you into it, don't worry."

     She reaches up to ruffle Yari's hair briefly, then gets back to that food. It's definitely hitting the right spot for her, if the fact that's she's just about eaten all of it is any indication.

     "Kagenashi, eh? Should be fun. Yeah, I'm hoping to learn some stuff from Starless, you, maybe Lu-Mey if the bugs aren't too weird..." She hesitates for a few moments, then sighs. "... Maybe Vega, too, if I can get a hold of him. I need to talk with those two, at least."

Yari Takane (691) has posed:
Yari...actually pouts. She looks slightly intimidated by the prospect.

"...Figuring out what I need to do, not going on daily drills...it's..." Hiss.

"A little frightening." She finally admits.

The ruffling does much to calm her down though, much happier hisses and her tails waving a bit!

The ninja nods to each one, though frowns at the mention of Vega.

"I'll always support you, but be careful. Don't accept power you haven't researched. Else you might end up the slave to an Eikon." That warning done, she reaches over with a kunai!

And stabs some of Sanary's food. Nom!

"You'd better eat up, or I'll steal it all!" She taunts, grinning and then hugging Sanary tight!

Sanary Rondel has posed:
     "You've dealt with worse! Where's that Garlean pride?" Sanary grins slightly as she tilts her head back at Yari, clearly intending to goad her with that. "Surely a little unpredictabability isn't going to throw you off."

     Noticing that frown, Sanary actually keeps the smile up as she pats the Au Ra's face once again. "Definitely. That's why I'll be talking to both of 'em. But I won't be half-assing it this time. I just need to control it so that doesn't happen, and then... Nobody's going to hurt us.."

     She sounds much more determined! And then she pouts at the food-stabbage, but breaks into another grin despite pretending to sound hurt. "Aw. But I'm injured! You gotta be more gentle than thaaat." She munches on even more pasta, then returns the hug (albeit at the awkward angle)!

     "Good tea, too. Tastes just right~" Right meaning bad, of course. Which is... Right, strangely enough.

Yari Takane (691) has posed:
Yari almost immediately stiffens, straightens up, and head-bonks Sanary with her own horns! Whomp!

"Of course not! I'll bring Glory and Honor no matter what obstacles are in my way!"

A swift nod to Sanary!

"Never again! And we'll make sure that Archer pays!" Encourages the lizardess.

"We ninjas are opportunists! You must learn to defend even while injured!"

Squeeeeze. "I'll keep plenty of it around for you, Sanary."
