More sobbing.

At some point the sobbing gives her an awful, awful headache, and she bites herself in an effort to make it stop. It doesn't, not entirely, but it dies down a little, and she's able to think clearly enough to remember that she's not supposed to do that. Not her body.

" - I'm sorry. Wasn't thinking."

Permalink

"Hmmm?"

Permalink

"Forgot not to bite."

Permalink

" - cure light wounds. I don't think that can possibly have hurt the baby, really, it's all right."

Permalink

She is much too tired and distraught to explain that she's not supposed to bite herself because her body doesn't belong to her. She nods.

" - I was supposed to be talking to you."

Permalink

"If you just want me to hold you that's okay too."

Permalink

"I don't want anything. Whatever I'm supposed to be doing - "

Permalink

"Well, you're supposed to be resting and recovering and focusing on the baby."

Permalink

 

"I don't know - recovering from what - "

Permalink

"You're - sick, or something - you were just saying how everything hurts -"

Permalink

"I'm sorry for complaining," she says, weakly, because she knows she's not supposed to do that and she thinks maybe the charm messed her up, or something. But she shouldn't blame the charm.

" - am I not supposed to hurt?"

Permalink

"No, you're not supposed to hurt!"

Permalink

Well, this is a problematic requirement.

"I'm sorry," she says, because she can't think of anything else to say about having failed this way.

Permalink

"I don't ...think it's your fault? Is there some important context I am missing here, you keep saying things that don't quite make sense..."

Permalink

She grabs her head. It still hurts. "Everything's connected wrong now, I'm sorry - I'll try to do what I'm supposed to but I don't remember all the pieces - "

Permalink

"Ssshhh, it's okay, you don't have to figure it all out right now. You've been - having a really bad time, haven't you, even worse than I realized -"

Permalink

Quiet sobbing. Her head hurts so much. Mustn't cry, if it makes her hurt, but it's so hard to stop - 

She goes to bite herself again and then remembers that that makes her hurt, too. She doesn't know what to do, then.

Permalink

"Do you want me to cast euphoric tranquility again - always seems to make you stop hurting -"

Permalink

 

" - if that's - what you want - I'll try to do whatever you want - "

Permalink

" - I want to help you! I want you to have what you need to focus on your baby and focus on recovering!"

Permalink

Oh no, he's gonna be mad at her, she isn't doing it right -

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry - I don't - understand everything, but I'll try to do better - "

Permalink

"I don't understand what you're apologizing for. You've been doing your best, Korva, it's been really hard but you've been doing your best even when it's really hard - I'm very lucky to have you - and now you can stop worrying about that and just worry about recovering."

Permalink

She sobs. Tries to quiet herself.

"I don't - know what that means - "

Permalink

"'m not good at words. Uh. Do you remember when you were happy."
