[ poor thing... immediately, she looks apologetic. After all, she'd definitely doubted Dorothy there, too. ]
... I can't even imagine. [ a pause as she walks over, setting down the mug on the nearest available surface. ] Um, I made you some tea - ginger tea. You don't have to drink it if you don't want to, but I thought it might help soothe your stomach in case that poison starts kicking about inside.
My big brother's a soldier - he comes home injured a lot. And he's too much of a blockhead to take care of himself, so it's up to his poor little sister to do it.
[ an apologetic smile - but an understanding one. ]
Yeah... Trust me, I know he's one of the lucky ones. [ it was touch and go for a while with him, too. she's grateful every day that he's still with her. ] Sorry. I didn't mean to bring up unpleasant memories.
Of course. I would have been worried all night if I didn't make sure you were still with us. [ she sits down on a nearby crate. ] Us girls have to stick together.

There you are! How are you holding up?
[ is she still soggy. let's hope not. ]

... I'm trying to accept the fact that I think I was nearly killed... I think.
[ God she's so tired. ]

no subject
I don't think it was poison, just pills. Though it's true that my stomach hasn't been feeling the greatest.
[ So this is much appreciated. ]
no subject
[ Fiora doesn't trust it! It led to someone's death. ]
That was a really silly thing you did, you know. Sure, it helped us, but you may as well have stabbed yourself with that weapon of his, too.
no subject
It worked out in the end, didn't it? Somehow.
[ Almost miraculously. ]
no subject
[ she will scold an older lady, she doesn't care. it's her sister energy. ]
That said... I am glad you're all right.
no subject
[ But Fiora is apparently really good at it?? ]
no subject
[ putting her hands on her hips. ]
I can't argue with that, though. I've got lots of experience in fussing.
no subject
[ Just a hunch. ]
no subject
[ said dryly. anyone who has siblings knows... ]

... This may be insensitive, but is he like you? With the... [ She gestures, vaguely. Mechanical bits? ]
no subject
[ to say the least. ]
He's got a bum arm, though, so maybe he could use an upgrade like me.
[ this is a joke, she wouldn't inflict this on anybody... ]
no subject
[ With a strange little smile-- almost a bitter one. ]
no subject
Don't worry, he is. He's as good in a fight as he ever was. [ a beat. ]</small. ... Did I say something off?
no subject
no subject
Yeah... Trust me, I know he's one of the lucky ones. [ it was touch and go for a while with him, too. she's grateful every day that he's still with her. ] Sorry. I didn't mean to bring up unpleasant memories.
no subject
[ And she sighs. ]
But I'm glad to hear your brother is different.
no subject
He's stubborn, mostly. But I managed to keep him resting for a whole year, so I think I deserve a little of the credit, too.
[ it wasn't easy to get her warrior poet brother to stay still and not run off to be a hero again. ]
Is this guy a family member of yours, too? Or a friend?
no subject
[ She says it so curtly that it might actually still be a sore spot. Not that it's Fiora's fault. ]
no subject
That... sounds like it would be tough.
[ she barely remembers her dad, but she can imagine?! she knows riki... ]
no subject
... But. Well, that's a conversation for another day. Thank you for coming to check on me, Fiora.
no subject
Of course. I would have been worried all night if I didn't make sure you were still with us. [ she sits down on a nearby crate. ] Us girls have to stick together.

[ Dorothy seems smart enough to not typically drink poison. ]
