Karigan sat up slowly. The pain made her ache all over. But if there was anything she hated more… It was being idle. Being idle meant no work was being done. Training was being missed. None of that was good to her. She spent many days living day to day on what she had.

Her fingers traced over bandages on her left arm. Slowly she began to check over the rest of her. More bandages in other places. Pieces of what she had been doing last before ending up in a bed at a inn began to filter back to her. The job had been dealing with pirates. Too many… Their numbers had overwhelmed her. Even all her training had done her no good.

“If you don’t rest, you won’t heal.” 

Kari’s ears flattened against her head as she heard the woman speak. Blue cat’s eyes stared at the strange elezen woman. Possibly her savior. Her memory was foggy after a point of the fight.

“I’m fine. Right as rain.” Karigan said as she forced a smile. A sudden movement made her wince an nearly fall back to the pillow behind her. Maybe not so fine… “Okay I lied… But I can’t rest… I can’t afford this. I need to get back out there.”
