Night Slipping [Komugi, Lyza]

..Okay, that was another passerby dodged. Ugh, getting around to look for who was still here was challenging when a lot of your skin felt like it was glued together with fire... She kept hoping she'd run into Taro during the night, he hadn't come to visit her and surely that had to be because he was still in the other world. Well, she at least wanted to keep her legs stretched and her hopes high, even if she wanted to melt into a pile of tears occasionally.

At some point into her excursion, she'd have made it to some ways to having a clear view of whatever remained of the Eighth's barracks - not at all close that she'd be easily spotted by someone at work but also not so far that it'd be hard to see. She looked upon it in silent contemplation, her glowing yellow eyes dulled even in moonlight.

Maybe it was better Taro wasn't back yet...

"You."

The voice that echoed out from behind Komugi was formal and straightforward, with an authoritative undertone to it. Lyza had been walking around the Gotei in search of... well, nothing actually before she stumbled upon Komugi. Her steps mostly silent out of habit, something she trained a long time ago and just became how she was.

There was no specific reason to be here asides from to either sniff out people she didn't like or just take a night time walk in what used to be familiar territory. After all, she liked her familiarity and hated anything and everything new. That was just how she was. But then there was this girl who was also out here, and clearly hurt. Walking while hurt. Hurt while walking. Kids these days...

"Are you wounded?" Lyza could see that the answer was yes, but she needed to make sure those bandages weren't some kind of fashion decision. Like how she'd seen some women use wraps like that as a bra... Distasteful as it was, she kept her mouth shut, and this almost certainly wasn't a fashion choice here. The witch just needed to at least attempt to not come off as immediately confrontational like she had a habit of doing.

The noise that the small Nekomata made in sheer surprise of someone being up here with her could only be described as something between a high-pitched scream and a yowl, quickly covering her mouth as her bright yellow orbs would rest upon the pale lady before her- Oh, she recognized her, wasn't she one of the people helping out in the ward? Slowly, she'd beckon her stiff, fluffed tail to drop down, a sigh of relief dawning her,

"..Ah, Konbanwa," She'd calm her voice to say, "Yeah, yeah i'm injured... But I was getting sick of sitting in bed... Also I was looking for.. uh, someone.."

Her ears drooped, eyes turned ovular with sadness, seeming quite disappointed with her situation.

Lyza's stoic demeanor didn't exactly soften so much as only became gently exasperated at the idea of someone walking around in such a pitiful state. "Do you think that person would be very proud of you for showing up looking like this?" The witch wondered, now slowly approaching Komugi with a disappointed shake of her head. "Or would they chastise you for putting your own health at risk for them? I know I would."

The witch slowly reached a hand out, not to grab, but to offer it to Komugi as it glowed a gentle green; the sign of Kaido. "You got lucky. I'm a licensed doctor and professional healer." She explained her actions, letting Komugi ultimately make the decision to build up some sort of trust. She couldn't exactly heal very well if the girl was feeling anxious. "Let me help you at least. Before you cause some kind of permanent damage walking around with all that damage, I mean."

The Nekomata gave a sulking look, "I guess you're right..."

Taro would be upset she was up and about when she wasn't fully healed, but she wanted to see him again so badly... And she really wished she could help out. Couldn't even lift a rock in her current condition without accidentally causing a worse injury.

She looked upon the lady who had caught her, Kaido in her palm... Yeah, she knew for a fact it was her helping out in there then. Her body relaxed, allowing the healer to perform her duty without interruption, though Komugi was looking at her with admiring eyes. She didnt really recall seeing this lady prior...

"..You aren't bothered by my appearance?"

She would've expected at least a 'hey kitty' or a try at a scratch behind the ears at this point but, no, the lady seemed to be pretty respectful of her person. At least, as respectful as you could be applying Kido directly to it.

Lyza let out a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't have to fight just to heal this person. If needed she was prepared to subdue the girl, but thankfully she didn't need to. Sometimes people needed that extra little bit when it came to help... even if it was Lyza tying them down like a mental hospital patient so she could help them like they so desperately needed. No, this little kitten was sane enough, and Lyza appreciated that in this world of meatheaded psychopaths.

"No. I couldn't care less what you look like, just what you do with yourself." Lyza said to Komugi as she stepped forwards to close the distance and got down on one knee to look at the girl's bandaged up wounds more closely. "Where'd you get these, anyways?" Lyza couldn't help but wonder as her gaze raked over Komugi's figure in an exclusively professional way, brows furrowing a little as she only got more upset at how the girl was walking around like this.

A weary smile formed on her face with that reassuring response; the woman before her would have no idea how relieving it was, "Cool."

Her eyes tracked along with the pale woman's approach and kneeling, raising an eyebrow as she eyeballed her.. She was gonna heal her, right..? Oh-

"I was in the battle fending off major invaders," She suddenly stiffened up, her gaze drooping, "I wasn't much use, I only managed to chase off one with the help of another... He was a funny guy, hope he's alright."

She chuckled a little bit, remembering Ranma, only for her breath to catch,
"But, like... What's the point if they aren't dead? They'll just come back and be an even bigger problem later..."

Lyza stood up after getting a close examination of Komugi's wounds. It wasn't so simple as just put a hand over the girl's body and the wounds would heal. Sort of, but not really. "Everyone came out fairly wounded, some fatally, some almost fatally." Lyza sighed as she hovered her hand around Komugi's most brazen of wounds and began channeling her reiryoku into a healing spell. The only difference between Lyza and most other healers was the intensity of that glow.

From her hand came a burst of green light that would wash over Komugi and begin repairing her wounds. Anything like burns, scrapes, and missing skin came first, then she could stitch the wounds back up after the girl's skin was back the way it should be. Even in a matter of moments, there would be a sensation of relief as Komugi's body was slowly healed back to the healthy state it should always be in.

"If them coming back is your worry, just kill them next time." Lyza said flatly, her stare focused more on making sure Komugi didn't have any adverse reactions to being healed so quickly. It wouldn't hurt, but it would be a little jarring at how fast it was. "Get stronger, think smarter, learn to cheat, I don't care. The job will never end until then."

She hardly had to grit her teeth to endure the pain of healing, shivering a bit as the sensation of her flesh rapidly shifting and repairing ran like uncomfortable jittery waves through her body. Was Kaido always this bright, or fast? Igen's definitely wasn't this intense... Deep breath in and out, until it was over...

Wow, she was feeling better! Bit funky and itchy, but better. Too bad about her fur though, that'd take a while to grow back... May Taro not see her all patchy like this. Though, with Lyza's suggestion to kill her enemies, to do all she could to vanquish them, that made her abruptly stand up and huff,

"You bet i'm getting stronger!" She'd suddenly proclaim with newfound energy, "How am I supposed to be a hero if I can't even get rid of the villains? Sure it isn't super heroic to kill people but... If it's the difference between one person and a whole bunch of people, i'd rather it be one person!"

Komugi was idyllic, not stupid; her life in the Rukongai taught her far and well the importance of disposing of something or someone that would be a recurrent threat. If she just let the bad guys go every time like in comics or movies, they'd just come back worse than ever. Even so, the idea didn't really sit well with her...

"I.. might not like killing very much, but.. If I don't, more families will die. Like, I can't help but imagine what if my family was here, and all got crushed in an attack they had nothing to do with? Ugh, our enemies really have no honor, huh? Attacking over a bunch of.. Mrph, innocents."

She seemed hesitant to use the word there; she hardly thought of the nobility as 'innocents', but she also had to remember much of them were just people living their lives, probably having gone down to sleep for the night, maybe outside having fun... Just being themselves-

"Ah.." She felt lightheaded, her knees buckling before her head fell. That did take a lot out of her, huh...
