Summary: Sakura comes to the Opera House to heal Riff
Log:


The last thing he wants to do is make Cain worry. Riff keeps his word, speaking with the healer and setting a date, the sooner the better-- east enough, apparently, when she herself had wanted to come over immediately. He'd told her his location and now waited for her in one of the downstairs rooms that had probably once been dressing rooms for the star actors of the now-empty stage. But it was comfortable here, couches and coffee tables in the foyer before the roomful of vanity mirrors. Riff kept his Device on hand in case she called again.

Instead, Sakura knocks on the door to give him a little leeway before opening it herself. Her ability to heal was definitely prized amongst most of her community at home but she often wondered what were her limitations here. She briskly walks into the room, focused and with an objective.

"Riff, right?" she asks. Her voice is filled with a great amount of concerned as she eyes the person before her.

He stands politely as soon as she comes in, offering her a warm smile. "Yes, Miss Sakura, I am." Nodding, he offers her a seat with a gesture. "Thank you for coming so promptly."

She returns the smile with a carefully restrained one. She sits down next to him and eyes him intently trying to determine what's wrong with him.

"All right, tell me any and all symptoms you're experiencing. If there's a visible external injury, please point it out." She doesn't need gloves, but, instead, she begins to make various hand signs.

Riff watches her curiously, not sure what the hand signals mean. "I was injured during the Hallowe'en cursed week," he explains, taking off his jacket carefully to point out the bites at his neck and shoulder. At least they're well-bandaged, obviously by someone who knew what they were doing.

"The wounds do not look infected, but I suffer bouts of fever and exhaustion." A woman doctor is... unusual, but-- He'll get over his discomfort and take off his shirt as well because it's necessary. His left arm is also bandaged up securely to hide the lacerations that have been spreading down from the bite at his shoulder, the flesh slowly failing and crumbling.

"I do not remember what made them." But it must have been something supernatural, that week. Some of them are from Cain's vampire form, but some of them look like other bites-- He remembers nothing of being a wolf at the time, and so he cannot say.

Eventually, her hands turn into something that's captivated by a bright blue glow. She places her hands over his neck, listening carefully. The bite wounds, however, should end up healing themselves over until nothing but smooth skin is in place.

She looks at the injury with a great amount of curiosity while her face tenses up. She continues to nod as she looks at the wound.

"You don't remember where you got these cuts?" She inspects them rather closely while keeping his hands on his neck to heal him. Upon a second glance, she looks again, "They look like they were caused by some sort of animal too, and, one of them is more fanged in the marked than the other, which seems to use more teeth...." Her voice drones off as she moves her hands from his neck to the cuts, hoping to repair, heal, and create new flesh with her ninjutsu. It should feel fairly refreshing for Riff himself.

"I was unaware and entirely not myself for most of that time," Riff explains quietly, patiently holding very still. It does feel like it's working; he can tell immediately, and that is truly fascinating. How one could heal in this way is beyond him, but he's been in the City long enough to know that such things exist in other worlds.

"Could you explain to me what you are doing, please?" he asks, out of curiosity, not because he thinks she is untrustworthy.

"It's all right. I understand most of the civillians were brainwashed and left with little memory, and that it's happened before here too." With the neck wounds now fully healed, she begins to move her hands to the arm wound. It'll take awhile before Sakura responds. The energy poured in for this wound is far superior than his neck wound.

"I'm speeding up the body's natural healing process through medicinal chakra. The jutsu I'm using sends my chakra to treat the body. It requires a lot of concentration to use, so if I don't respond right away, I'm just more focused on the wound," she answers. The wound will begin to alleviate itself shortly after this explanation.
