[His coat is badly tattered, especially the sleeves, with some stains around the tears, but the only blood seems to be splattered or smeared over the front. Underneath, she can see glimpses of blue-black rock, with patches of reddish discolouration.
Zelgadis looks upward as he thinks. He seems more relaxed now.]
Hmm... I didn't see its body clearly. It had long arms and fingers... just suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed me.
That sounds like it was a vaettur. It must have been pretty desperate if it attacked all of you at once though. Usually they go for people who split off from a group.
[Tuuri is wearing gloves luckily, as she reaches out and touches one of the spots where the rash is.]
Hopefully this goes away and doesn't linger the whole time. I've heard they can be horribly itchy.
[Well. As long as he doesn't pull away, she's going to try to touch the back of his hand to see what it feels like. She is a nerd through and through.]
It would probably be more effective if it were a heating pad or something.
[Then, is he doesn't pull back from it, she's going to try lifting his hand up so she can kiss the back of his wrist. It's not exactly one any of the injuries, but still pretty close to one of them.]
[As he watches her, there's a flicker of surprise and concern in his eyes. Even if she doesn't think he's infectious... should she really take that risk?

So I can't really catch it again, right?

If I caused you to be reinfected with the very thing that cost you your life...

Date: 2023-03-10 02:32 pm (UTC)[She looks really confused.]
I didn't die from the Rash. I was just infected when I died.

Date: 2023-03-10 02:52 pm (UTC)[She is not going to go into detail about that right now though. Instead, she's going to scoot a little closer.]
So it's fine for us to be next to each other. You took care of me when I was hurt, and I want to take care of you now.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-10 03:13 pm (UTC)He doesn't move away this time. He takes a moment to think about it. Tuuri is probably the one he can trust most on this matter, and besides...
He doesn't want to push her away, either.
So after a few moments, he also scoots closer. Closing the distance a little more.]

Did it mimic voices?
no subject
Date: 2023-03-10 07:50 pm (UTC)Yeah. It called out to us in a voice one of us recognized.

Date: 2023-03-10 08:05 pm (UTC)I'll consider it a novelty, then. Haven't felt "itchy" in years.

Date: 2023-03-10 10:51 pm (UTC)[She glances up at him now.]
You can't feel anything there normally?

Date: 2023-03-10 11:29 pm (UTC)[She's looking at his hand now actually. Is it covered in rock? Or just patches here and there?]
no subject
Date: 2023-03-10 11:42 pm (UTC)[It's all rock! The darker protrusions don't start until around the wrist, though.]

Date: 2023-03-11 12:12 am (UTC)It feels like smooth stone! Not like, polished-smooth, but very neatly hand-shaped. It's a little cool to the touch.]
no subject
Date: 2023-03-11 12:24 am (UTC)It's kind of cool actually, and she'll cup Zel's hand in both of hers. It's not a firm grab, but she's testing something else.]
Can you feel any warmth when I do this?
no subject
Date: 2023-03-11 06:09 am (UTC)Not really...
[He starts to say, then seems to rethink his answer.]
... Maybe a little.

Uncertain as he looks, he doesn't stop her.]
no subject
Date: 2023-03-11 04:47 pm (UTC)When she pulls back and sees that look on Zel's face she gets a little flustered though.]
I-it's a protection spell! To help you heal faster.
[She is not a mage and knows no magic whatsoever.]

no subject
Date: 2023-03-12 02:52 am (UTC)So...it'll be alright, got it? I put a spell on it, so it'll heal just fine without any long-term illness.
