She squeaked and shook it off her.

After a second, Corysande took the bandages from him. “Let me help you before you hurt yourself.”

". . . Are you sure you know what you're doing?" he asked, letting her take them.

1 minute ago, Halcyon The Only said:

He stared at her for a second. 

“You DISPLACED my ENTIRE PEOPLE?!”

I know! I know, I know! she cried, folding into herself a little. I'm sorry, okay?! We have to stop Malevolence, and . . . it's only temporary . . . I'm sorry . . .

He pushed the green button.
I had to fight the temptation so hard, to rewrite him to be color blind just for this one moment of humor.

“You just wrap it around like this, right?” She wrapped the bandages firmly around his shoulder, making sure to also be gentle. 

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

Holt smashed it.

She thanked him.

He flinched, but let her continue.

"Um . . . yeah, thanks."

She eventually finished and tied off the bandage, smoothing it. Something about her touch soothed the pain. Then she moved to the other side. 

it’s kinda fun to experiment and see what she can and can’t do with her magic

He relaxed a little, then stopped and handed her some antiseptic.

She used it sparingly, then wrapped his other shoulder too. Again, her touch soothed the pain there, but it didn’t seem intentional. “There. Better?”

He nodded and stood.

"Thanks. That . . . feels a lot better. Did you do anything else?" he asked.

It continued to be a spider until smashed by Holt, and then it turned into a gold coin.

“You could have asked me! I would have said no! Thank goodness I didn’t tell you—“ He stood up, cutting himself off, and shook his head in disgust.

She blinked.

She looked up  at him, puzzled, still kneeling. “What do you mean?”

He shrugged- which he should not have done, he realized when pain shot through his arms. "It just feels . . . less painful."

That's good.

"There's still a group imprisoned in the deep caverns," Utility pointed out.

Rebus looked a bit surprised. “I thought that had been the group I rescued. Regardless, they should find their ways to safety - I can offer.”

“Shut up.”

The mirror said it with her, for obvious reasons. The mirror behind her was not in the mirror.

“Well, I’m not telling you now!” He dragged his hands down his face. “Never mind. Never mind. Just don’t ever EVER do ANYTHING like that behind my back again.”

"Ok. And what and where is the field?"

She nodded timidly and didn't push the subject.

He had every right to be angry, after all . . .

Didn't mean it didn't still hurt, though.

I'm sorry, she whispered again. I was just trying to help the Thread . . . I should've told you.

“There’s a device above the roc on top of the cliff. You might have to dig a little to find it— I know there was a backup power source…”

“Yes! You should have. How does that help the Thread, anyway?”

“No. It could be… I don’t interact much with mortals. So I don’t know the extent of what I can do.” She looked down at her hands.
