[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!]

*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*

If you see him again, point him out to me. I'll make sure he dies screaming.

[She gives Selphie a quick kiss on the forehead and then slides free. Time enough for hugging later.]

Alright, this'll probably feel kinda warm. But I'm going to do what I can, okay?

Nah. It's okay - I got a feeling I won't be. But him, and all the other stupid jerk ass Navy guys is the reason why I'm so mad at them...

*Selphie giggles happily though at the little kiss and nods in agreement. It was weird, cause her own healing magic usually felt cold. But then, Chandra was a fire lady*

Okay. I'm ready.

[Chandra kneels down and reaches up, gently sliding a hand along Selphie's thigh to size up the length of the scar. Man she hopes nobody barges into her room...because this could look so compromising...]

Brace yourself sweetie.

[And then she begins to channel, a red-gold glow pouring from her fingertips. Her fingers slowly move over the scar and she keeps on focusing, intent on the spellcraft. Heat, the warm tingly variety, fills Selphie's whole frame as Chandra works, sweat beginning to bead on her forehead.]

Almost done...just...sit tight.

[The strain is pretty evident, but at least it's for a good cause, right?]

*There are too many men on board that would have too much of a good time seeing Chandra and Selphie the way they were positioned. Selphie doesn't really want to think about this. Instead, she does as instructed, tensing slightly as she prepares for the spell.

Selphie closes her eyes, for no reason other than she doesn't really want to look, and she's not really sure how she feels about this - trying to get rid of such a horrible scar. At least it feels warm and tingly, and she smiles a little to herself, breathing a small sigh of relief when Chandra's done*

[It's another few minutes, but Chandra has to let go of the magic with a gasp. Weakly, she rises up and sort of flops down on top of Selphie.]

There...done. Did all I could.

[She rolls off after giving the girl another peck on the forehead.]

Go...have a look in the mirror. Tell me how I did.

*Selphie opens her eyes in surprise and holds Chandra for a minute, a worried frown all over her face. She tries to smile after the kiss on the forehead, but she still looks concerned*

Chandra, are you okay?

*She'd make sure that Chandra was okay first before checking the scar herself. Perhaps, if Selphie chose to stare for long enough later on in the bath she might find a faint white line, but the whole ugly scar seems gone. Selphie doesn't say anything at first, just stares in amazement*

I'm fine. Just...used a lot more mana than I thought.

[She props herself up and looks over at the mirror.]

How'd I do?

*Selphie turns herself round to Chandra, and rubs roughly at an eye - no, she is not going to get emotional about this*

It's - it's gone. The stupid horrible thing is gone!

[Chandra smiles up at Selphie, sliding closer to the edge of the bed and rolling over.]

Show me then.

*Selphie shuffles over and gives her eye another quick rub before showing Chandra where the scar had been just moments ago*

[Chandra looks at the little white line and gives it a poke before nodding.]

That'll do. Adds character down there, y'know.

*Argh! Chandra! No! What are you doing?! Selphie blushes a bright red at the touch, but mostly at what she says. Quickly, she pulls the hem of her skirt down to cover her thighs as much as possible though, admittedly, that wasn't particularly far*

What?! What are you even talking about?

Relax.

[Chandra rolls back over]

It's character. Y'know. Something that sets you apart a little.

But - I don't really think so...

*Still blushing because she is thinking too many thoughts at once*

I mean, it's not like anyone's ever gonna be looking...there.
