Natalia opened a bleary eye and looked around the room. "Ugh, what happened?" There was a residual throbbing in her head, but she was otherwise fine. She raised her hand to her face where the injury used to be.

"You fell off a balcony, do you remember?" Red asked, gently.

"I fell?" She cringed. "Fuck. I was trying to fix the railing."

"Well, school maintenance will have it fixed soon enough, so this doesn't happen to anyone else," Red assured her. "How do you feel? Is there any pain?"

"My head hurts." Natalia said. "But nothing I couldn't take a painkiller for." She used her arm to push herself into a sitting position and rubbed her eyes.

The corner of Red's mouth twitched, but it was gone quickly enough that it might have been imagined or misinterpreted. "How would you rate it on a scale from one to ten, where one is no pain, and ten is unbearable?"

"I don't know... three? two and a half?" She shrugged.

"Not too bad then," Red said. "I'm glad you're feeling better. Some water might help, or at least it won't hurt." He stood and grabbed a glass for her.

"Sure." She reached out to take it and took a drink. "Anyway, nothing's unbearable." She added. "Can I go now?"

"Everyone has different limits," Red said, he knew well enough that he could make things unbearable. "You're meant to stay here for the night, to make sure that no problems arise. It was just a student who doesn't even have an affinity who fixed you up."

"So? I've seen guys with no affinity do some kickass things."

"You don't even know who you're defending," Red pointed out.

"Doesn't matter. If it turns out they suck, it's not 'cause of a lack of affinity, it's cause of a lack of training or a lack of effort. Shit's hard, not impossible."

"Well, I happen to have faith in the kid's abilities," Red said. "But I would appreciate it if you give it a few more minutes, you did just regain consciousness. It wouldn't look good for me if you passed out in the hallway."

"Yeah, no problem." She lay back down.
