FTEC -- Monday [August 2]

It was a quiet, contemplative Ino who could be found sitting behind the desk, like she was supposed to be, come Monday. Studying of course—that was normal, really—even though she was spending a lot more time frowning than usual.

Focusing was a bit hard to wrangle when all you were really interested on was other things. Willpower, however, was something she had in spades though and so Ino persevered.

Maybe she'd go and get an iced drink or something, when lunch came around and she could justify leaving to herself. Maybe that'd help her focus.

It probably wouldn't.

Where Ino is!

Triela hadn't slept very well for the past week or so, and that meant she was actually showing signs of it. The cybernetics could only carry the human parts so far, after all, so while Triela was impeccably dressed and straight-backed as ever, there were hints of exhaustion lurking around her eyes as she walked into the clinic.

Ino glanced up, about to give a cheerful enough hello, when she paused and actually looked at the other girl.

"You ain't lookin' so hot," she noted.

"I'm... fine." Yeah. That pause, and the fact that she was actually in the clinic, didn't make that lie particularly convincing.

Ino's eyebrows were going to raise, just so, and she was going to close her notebook and pick herself out of that chair.

"Wanna come talk?" Ino suggested, in a way that said it wasn't much of a suggestion at all.

Another long pause. "Sure," Triela decided, nodding decisively.

Ino gestured with a wave of her hand. Little of the flippant ninja about her--though today wasn't a day for much flippancy anyway.

"This way," she ordered, expecting Triela to come along.

Only if needed!

"Alright," Ino said, gesturing for Triela to sit on the bed as she locked the door behind them. "What's up?"

No physical injuries it looked like, but she knew better than most that not all injuries were physical.

"I've been having headaches. A bit of dizziness. It hasn't been too bad." Except that she'd never had to deal with either of them like this before.

Ino frowned at her.

"How long have they been happenin'?"

"A few days. I'm sure they'll go away, but Hinata made me promise to check in."

"Good," she said. "Do you mind if I do an exam on you? With--my powers?"

Ino didn't think that'd cause any harm, just to look.

"What will that involved?" Triela asked. Her Conditioning meant she couldn't just give away information, but a scan might be fine.

"My hands 'bout an inch from either side of your head," Ino said, holding her hands up to demonstrate. A soft green glowed from both of them for a moment before she let the chakra go. "It gives me the basics. How little you've been sleeping, what any imbalances are, and will let me know if there's anything seriously out of whack that'll need to have a closer look taken to."

Triela nodded. "That is acceptable."

And then Ino could tell her that it was no big deal and that this would go away soon.

"This will probably tickle a bit," she said, as was her routine when doing anything medical. "Try not to move."

Ino's hands, glowing a soft green, were placed to the side of Triela's head and then, from there, it was simple enough to have her chakra trickle into Triela's mind, sink into her nerves, her muscle, her bones. So much of it wasn't real--non-organic, she couldn't touch that.

But enough of it had been left that she could make sense of it. Weakness from lack of sleep, muscles moving when they should be at rest, headaches--so many causes for them--and dreams. Ino's attention, focused mostly on what was going on inside the other girl's head, was intent.

Triela's mind was something of a jumble. Emotions were swinging back and forth erratically, if still subdued. Most of all, though, there was a slowly growing sense of confusion. Triela was used to being in control, and at the moment she wasn't. At least not to the degree she was accustomed.

Headaches she never had, the hallucinations in her sleep that she didn't realize were dreams, the tiny muscle spasms that seemed to be growing more frequent...

It was disconcerting, and not calculated to help with her peace of mind.

Something was missing.

Ino's eyes narrowed as she, through her chakra, explored the composition of Triela's mind and considered that. Something was wrong. Some of it she could deal with.

Her voice, when it came, sounded distant. Highly distracted.

"I need your permission: I want to see if I can smooth a few things out for the time being." Give her some breathing room. It might be all this needed. It was too early to tell if this would be something that would need further corrective measures or would straighten out on it's own.

"You can make the headaches go away?" Triela asked, trying to sound businesslike instead of hopeful. She didn't really succeed.

"That would be helpful."

"For a little while," she said, a bit repressively. "It won't fix the underlying problem. I can do the same for the muscle spasms."

"Thanks, Ino," Triela nodded assent.

She would just kind of ignore that warning about it being a temporary thing for now. She was just glad that she'd get a reprieve.

She thought about repeating herself, but that could wait until after this was done, Ino decided.

"Alright," she said, and turned her attention back inwards--a new surge of chakra pouring down with, spinning down through the tendrils she'd set throughout Triela's mind. Lines. She smoothed over bumps and mended tears, tricking the body into believing that it was well, that nothing was wrong, and it wasn't entirely a trick--for a day or two, no more than three at the most, it would be well.

No spasms, no headaches. Ino left the dream imbalance alone. Triela didn't dream, wasn't supposed to dream, but that was too sensitive to handle without more warning and preparation.

It was enough, for now, to heal the smaller things. Adjust a few imbalances enough to shore them up so that there would be a break from them.

Triela's shoulders slumped ever so slightly as the mild headache she hadn't given much attention to over the past few days faded.

"Oh. That's nice."

"It's not permanent," Ino reminded her, as she began the delicate task of pulling all her energies out of Triela.

"I'll take what I can get." Triela even let out a soft sigh.

"I feel a lot better now, Ino."

"Thanks."

The glow in her hands faded and Ino stepped back.

"You're welcome," she said, still frowning thoughtfully. There were a few things she'd look up, perhaps, after Triela was gone. "What've you been up to lately?"

"The usual being stuck here with nothing to do," Triela scowled, seeming more like her usual self already.

"Well, other than that little Portalocity mishap last weekend." Which had actually been really fun.

"Oh?" Ino asked curiously.

"I've been promising to introduce Karla to my cobbler," Triela explained. "So we decided to take a weekend trip to Rome. Ended up in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Europe."

"Some slavers found us." Her grin was almost enough to make someone feel sorry for the slavers. Except that they were slavers.

"Portalocity ain't normally that bad," she noted, smirking. "Maybe it didn't like you."

"I don't know why... Oh, wait, maybe Karla talked to them. That'd probably do it." Take that, Karla!

Ino just shrugged.

"So I'm assuming you took care of the slavers?"

"Most action I've gotten in months," Triela agreed, smiling fondly.

With nurses!

Yay day off! \o/
