[i]She had suddenly stopped crying, seeing that the man suddenly didn't remember what had happened before. She looked at him, blinked a few times, before rubbing the rest of the tears from her eyes.[/i]
"W-what...?"
[i]She then grimaced in pain from the scrapes that were on her shins. She looked down at them and clutched them tightly.[/i]
"Ow..."

-
"Not feeling to good?" [i]Valentine eyed the scrapes on Mion's shin, not doing or saying anything about it. He once again did notice his own wounds, but he was getting a little lightheaded from extreme blood loss.[/i]
-
[i]She looked up again at the man, seeing the blood trickle out. She gasped, rushing over to him. Now he really needed to be patched up.[/i]
-
"Hm? What is it?" [i]Valentine asked, a confused expression on his face. He was legitimately confused as to what Mion was worried about.[/i]
-
[i]As soon as she reached him, she put a hand up to the heavily bleeding spot, then pulled it back, seeing the massive blood smear on her hand. Then with her clean hand, she started to pull out medical supplies from her handbag.[/i]
-
"What are you [i]doing[/i], witch!?" [i]Valentine inquired, about to start backing away.[/i]
-
"No, please! Calm down! Those are harmless, I'll demonstrate..." [i]She sat herself down, as she unscrewed the antiseptic and poured it on her shins. A small amount of tears formed from the sting, but she endured it. She then started wrapping bandages around them, tying them up in a knot afterwards so that they won't be loose.[/i] "See?"
-
[i]Valentine looked at the bandages legs, raising an eyebrow.[/i] "What's there to see?" [i]He asked skeptically.[/i] "You poured poison on your legs, then tied your legs up so the poison could sink in. You trying to ki11 y0urs3lf, or something?"
-
[i]She shook her head.[/i] "No, this isn't poison. This liquid is supposed to cleanse the area around the wound. If it were poison, I would've been curled up on the floor right now. I have to heal you, too." [i]She stood up, putting the medical supplies back into the handbag.[/i]
-
[i]Valentine rubs his chin, thinking.[/i] "I don't trust it," [i]He decides, but seems to decide to let Mion do her thing, anyways.[/i] "But dying whilst writhing in pain isn't as bad as some make out to be."
-
[i]Mion sighed. At least he allowed her to patch him up now. She walked up to the man, as she pulled out the antiseptic again. She started to pour small amounts on the wounds, making sure not to be too wasteful. [/i]
-
[i]Valentine yelped from the sudden sting he wasn't expecting, and jumped back.[/i] "You ARE trying to kill me!" [i]He exclaimed; most strange was that he noticed the antiseptic sting, but not five stab wounds in his leg.[/i]
-
[i]She took a step back, then made a reassuring gesture.[/i] "Hey, it was painful for me too. Just... don't worry, the pain will go away after a moment."
-
"Sure." [i]Valentine remained skeptical, but stayed put, watching and waiting.[/i]
-
[i]After making sure the antiseptic was applied correctly, she started to look at the stab wounds. She placed her hands around the area, and did so with a light, almost imperceptible touch.[/i] "Well, they aren't wide enough for me to stitch together... but there is one spot... Listen, this may hurt a bit too..." [i]She pulled out a needle and thread, then started stitching the gap together on one of the stab wounds.[/i]
-
"Oh, and now your stabbing me!" [i]Valentine yelled, but remained still all the same.[/i]
-
[i]She didn't pay him any attention, focusing on stitching the lacerations together. After threading the final string and cutting it off, she then grabbed her bandages and started wrapping them around the injuries. Being this close, he could faintly smell the scent of flowers from her hair.[/i]
-
[i]Valentine continued to allow Mion bandage his injuries, going silent as well.[/i]
-
[i]After a few seconds, she finished, tying off the bandages in a ribbon and sighing. She then took a step back to observe her handiwork.[/i] "Alright... you should be bleeding less now."
-
"Does it matter?" [i]He sighed, standing up, and looking at his bandaged legs. Bandaged wounds? That was an entirely new thing for him.[/i]
-
"You never heard of medical treatments before?" [i]She said, as she placed the bandages and other stuff into her handbag. [/i]
-
"Never," [i]Valentine responded truthfully. It wasn't that he never got cut, bruised, and wounded; it was that he never got those cuts, bruises, and wounds treated.[/i]
-
[i]Mion nodded, then turned to the gate. She looked at it's imposing size, and sighed.[/i] "Let me do something real quick..." [i]She started to walk up to the gate.[/i]
-
[i]Valentine nodded, stood up and watched.[/i]
-
[i]Mion took a deep breath, putting her feet apart and raising her hands, like she was going to push something. Valentine started to notice a orange bracelet on her wrist as she took her stance, which glowed brightly. Thrusting her hands forward, the gates swung right open, pushed by the force of Mion's gravity bracelet.[/i]
-
"Okay, that's weird," [i]Valentine said, slowly and cautiously approaching the now-open gates. He clearly wasn't used to the supernatural.[/i]
