[audio & as ever, action for Spades if they want it]

Hey - everyone - guess what?

So, at the end of the Navy ball thing, my arm got cut up a bit. Buuut now that's it healing, the cuts all cross over each other - I can totally play noughts and crosses on myself!

*Yes, Selphie actually giggles a little at this because, after all, isn't this amusing? Turning injuries into games? How hilarious!*

And and and, my dress didn't even get any blood on it - super bonus!~

[ETA: Excuse my UKisms - noughts & crosses is more likely known to most of you guys at tic-tac-toe!]

Uhm... Okay?

*She's not really sure what she's said that is so worrying... But she'll head out on deck for Chandra anyway, and look around for her somewhere*

[Chandra's up on deck near the bow, and when Selphie approaches the Planeswalker spins around and hops to her feet.]

Cutie, what's up with that broadcast? Doesn't it bug you that you got hurt?

*On her way over, Selphie smiles and waves, but she looks a little unsure about the question Chandra is asking*

Huh? No. Why should it? It'll get better.

Because it's morbid and weird?

*Selphie pulls a face, apparently not very pleased to be called these things, and she looks down at her feet*

Isn't it better than me being all scared and sad? It happened so I have to deal with it, right?

Of course it's not better, but it's...

[She waves a hand, trying to get Selphie to come closer.]

You should just let someone take care of those little things. So they don't risk scarring.

*Selphie shuffles a little closer to Chandra, still a little put out by this*

Yeah. I know. I will. I don't really want any more Navy scars...

[Chandra reaches out and grabs Selphie by the arm, her fingers beginning to glow white.]

Then instead of counting, come to me. I'll fix them up, hon. I learned a new trick.

Whoa! Chandra - you do healing now too?

*Selphie can heal, but it's more a pain thing than getting rid of actual cuts and bruises*

Yeah. Learned a bit of White magic back on that last island. It's not much, but it'll keep scars down.

Awesome! Now you're super duper talented.

*Selphie laughs a little as she stretches out her arm, trying to get a better look at the scratches - it definitely looked much better*

With all the healers, no one's gonna need me around anymore.

[Chandra pokes it and the superficial stuff goes away. Not the pain though.]

Wrong. You're the cutest one here by far.

Being the cutest doesn't help heal scars though, does it?

*And anyway, Selphie knows her cute status has been taken by Leanne*

You can't...maybe... I don't know if this will work but I wondered... Can you get rid of any scars? Like, I mean, old ones?

Emotional ones, yes.

[Chandra shrugs.]

Never tried. But I can, if you want.

*Selphie just smiles at Chandra for that first bit - why so cute?*

Hmm...

*She shuffles a little, uncomfortably, then holds out her wrist, moving aside her blue leather wrist band*

Wanna try on these first?

*They're not as bad as she thought they might be, but the scars from when she tried to pull of her chains when she was captured by the navy, they're still there*

Sure, let's give it a try.

[Chandra holds up two glowing fingers and presses them against the scar...]

*Selphie frowns at her wrist, as though by concentrating hard on it, it will somehow help Chandra with her work*

He-hey... It's gone! My wrist is normal again! Look! Look!

*And she holds her wrist right up to Chandra's eyes, just in case she hadn't noticed already*

[Chandra blinks and pulls her head back, pushing Selphie's wrist clear.]

Yes, I see that. Easy enough to fix, I think. Guess I'm better with this stuff than I thought.

Got any more?

You are! I already said you were super duper talented! But I bet even if you told everyone you could get rid of scars, not everyone would come asking you too. I think lots of people like them!

*But when she thinks of her own, she takes a small breath*

Uhm. I have one. It's... It's a pretty bad one. And I really don't like it. From when I was kidnapped...before.

*So it reminded her of events that she'd far rather forget. On top of that, it was unsightly. Not that she was thinking of anyone really seeing it mind you...*

But maybe, I should sit down, maybe somewhere more private.

Maybe so. But this is new ground to me.

[Chandra blinks and shakes her head. That had some implications...and she was willing to help but...uh...awkward?]

Okay. Sure. Let's go to my cabin then, and I'll see what I can do.

*It wasn't so bad, but she really didn't want to be seen with Chandra touching her thigh in the middle of the deck. Not with this crew.

So in her cabin, Selphie sits down. She manages to lift one side of her dress slightly, while still completely keeping herself covered for modesty's sake. Revealed is a deep, angry looking scar on her upper middle thigh*

From the kidnap. Again.

*Selphie doesn't seem to want to look at it, either, or at Chandra. She's been pretty good at ignoring it. But now, if there was a chance to heal it somehow.."

[Chandra follows and goes down onto her knees, inspecting the scar with a clinical eye. No, she doesn't want anyone else to see this either. And the injury itself sets off warning bells, causing her to look up at Selphie with a worried expression.]

What the fuck did they do to you, dear?

*It's a strange question, because no one's really asked about this, since no one has seen the scar since she got it. She avoids Chandra's expression, and gives a lame shrug*

Just a guy. With a knife. Tried getting... getting a little too close. That's all.

[Blinking, Chandra stands up and pulls Selphie into a hug. She's not really sure why, but it feels hugworthy.]

Is he dead?

Mmhmm. Or, I think so. Some of the others went back after and killed them all, pretty much.

*Selphie latches onto Chandra quickly, apparently very grateful for the hug*

He made the mistake of taking the chains off my feet, so when he got closer, I smashed his face in. I kicked his nose so hard it broke!

*Trying to get some strength back into her voice*
