[she pauses, then coughs a few times, hacking a little. after a moment:]

We are back safe, so...

[dms]

...Now, maybe. But that doesn't erase what you felt before.

[allomantic]

[she pauses for a moment.]

I'd prefer not to discuss it too much tonight, but - it would have been crueler any other way. You should not worry.

[dms]

Yeah, I get that, so I won't ask. You can talk about it whenever you're ready to. But you know I'm going to worry anyway, right? You're my friend.

[allomantic]

All the same, I think there is little to worry about now that I'm fine.

[dms]

Relatively, yeah, but your sight is still a big thing to worry about? If you're still having trouble, maybe we should get you a walking stick or something until after the trial...

[allomantic]

[she shakes her head.]

Clarte was able to regain their sight during the trial after they lost it. I imagine I'll be allowed as well.

[dms]

I'll cross my fingers. Just try not to push yourself too hard, okay? There's no need to aggravate the injuries.

[allomantic]

[she shakes her head.]

I want to be useful. It will be fine.

[dms]

Oh, me too. Believe me, I get it. Just... it won't help if go too far and make everyone worry about us more, you know?

[allomantic]

I don't see why they would be worried about me. My injuries are nearly healed.

[dms]

In a place like this, your friends are always going to be worried about you. That's just how it works.

[allomantic]

[frowns]

They shouldn't. These injuries won't matter in the long run.

[dms]

Maybe not, but that's not how being friends works!

[allomantic]

Well, it should work differently, then.

[dms]

[ vin is so funny he adores her so much ]

How would you say it should work, then?

[allomantic]

If someone is capable and competent, they don't need to be worried about.

[which applies to only her and nobody else]

[dms]

Mm, maybe. But don't you ever worry about your friends? Even the ones who are strong and can handle themselves?

[allomantic]

Not really.

[this blatant lie??]

[dms]

[ a surprised laugh. ]

You are such a liar!

[allomantic]

I am not!

[dms]

You totally are! I don't believe you never worry about anyone!

[allomantic]

Not if I know they can take care of themselves!
