*looks down at herself* What do you think - how long will it take for me - to heal completely?

*checks Kex* Well .... You'll probably need some more weeks .... if you eat properly, that is. Your bones are ok now, only your muscles need to rebuild ....

<--- Kex

*nods* Okay. *looks down again* These scars will remain, right? *grabs the twisted sheet and tries to spread it over herself again*

*shrugs* They probably will. I mean, my potion can rebuild and strengthen bones and skin, but it's not perfect. *whistles and the sheet vanishes*

<--- Kex

*gives Flower a long thoughtful look* I see. *curls up*

*gets up* Why did you want to cover yourself? I doubt it was because of coldness, you didn't have a problem with that during the last days. So why? Want to hide your current ugliness? Are you feeling ashamed? Some days ago, you said it doesn't matter how you look. When did that change?

<--- Kex

I just don't want everyone who comes in to see me naked. *looks at Flower* Using clothes is some form of privacy. And it hides certain vulnerabilities of your body - like my current state. *touches her face and feels the scars* Most of them.

*thinks about that* Well .... I'm not sure about this privacy thing .... but that hiding of vulnerabilities sounds logical. Many enemies prefer to attack weak persons. *sighs* I missed so much knowledge in all this time .... *disappears*

*the sheet reappears (untwisted) and falls down on Kex, covering her*

<--- Kex

*surprised*
*wraps herself as tight as she can into the sheet*
*lays there a while, wondering if TinMan or Angelica will ever awake* They will surely be surprised about how things changed!

*appears near some crystal clear creek*
*walks into it*
*stands there, letting the water rush around her, thinking about this day's experiences*

<--- Kex

Several weeks she said. I hope I can walk again when TinMan awakes. Don't want to shock him with my current appearance. *feels lonely*
*doesn't really want to wait so long for TinMan and Angelica to awake*
*eventually falls asleep*
