cait chewed idly on a piece of gum as she peered down at split and slightly oozing flesh. the wound appeared to be relatively fresh and had been haphazardly covered with store bought bandages. she'd already peeled the off-white material away, squinting at the damaged skin as she did so. 

"
looks like we'll have to cut off the entire arm," she said, jokingly. "because it honestly looks like a rabid teddiursa got to it.

this particular client had been escorted into her cramped studio apartment - her dripping arm resting comfortably upon her dining table and her rear cushioned by a wooden seat. 

"
unfortunate."

cait clicked her tongue and gingerly poked at the wound, gauging the woman's reaction as she did so.

[attr="class","igglybuff-wrapper"] A stray Pokemon attack had torn Cecilia's arm open not long before she arrived to Mauville. She had walked the rest of the way, blood smeared into the lines of her palm, shirt sleeve used as a temporary tourniquent. The first place she had gone was the store to plaster it in bandaids and the store clerk had suggested perhaps she go see some woman named Cait Alfric.

Here she is now, bandaids being peeled off, wound still aching. Blood bubbles from the cut, skin inflamed around it.

Cecilia regards the green haired woman with a bored gaze. "Unfortunate," she repeats in a dull tone.

The only suggestion of pain Cecilia gives is a tensing in her jaw and narrowing of her eyes. She looks between the cut and Cait. "Is there a point to this? Do you want me to say ow because I can assure you, it quite hurts."

"just determining if there's any amount of numbness present."

cait pulled her hand away, her finger tips smeared crimson.

"
under ordinary circumstances you'd be in dire need of stitches, ma'am," she said. "and then there's the important matter of ensuring it stays clean for no less than a week or two while it heals."

a splash of water was all that was needed to clean the wound - the action followed by cait gently patting the surrounding area dry.

"
but i'll have you fixed up soon enough. make sure to sit perfectly still, alright? and please remain quiet until i say otherwise.

cait took the remaining seat at the table, situating herself close to the young woman as she did so.

"
close your eyes," she instructed.

[attr="class","igglybuff-wrapper"] The woman's ambiguity leaves Cecilia wary and alert - is this what it feels like to be Fernando? She taps her uninjured hand against her thigh, eyes narrowing further. "Nothing you're saying makes sense," she drawls.

She stares at Cait for longer than she needs to before, letting out a low sigh, she at last closes her eyes. Her hand goes still.

The wound aches. It's a pulsing sort of pain that radiates from her bicep down to the tips of her fingers. It takes effort to not clench her fist but Cecilia bites down on the inside of her cheek, pinning it hard between molars until it, too, begins to hurt.

cait shifts the entirety of her focus onto the wound, releasing a low hum as she gingerly presses her hand against torn skin and applies a light pressure. there would be pain for cecilia at first, but then it would gradually ease as cait pooled her gift into the arm and allowed for celebi's power to expertly knit it back together. 

it wouldn't be long before she removed her hand and examined the formerly oozing limb. 

"you're finished, ma'am."

she happily chirped out these words, satisfied with her work. all that was left now were thin lines of pink flesh with nary a scar to be seen. 

"
please flex your arm for me," she said. "and tell me how it feels. there may be some sensitivity but there shouldn't be any pain."

[attr="class","igglybuff-wrapper"] The pain isn't much worse than what Cecilia's already felt but she still bites down harder on the inside of her cheek. Her eyebrows raise above closed eyes. A strange feeling prickles her skin where Cait's hand rests, one Cecilia can't describe. Even after, the sensation lingers. It's warm and numb at the same time.

Her eyes open. Cecilia looks to her arm. She studies it. She traces a finger over the skin and then pokes at it. Silent, she obliges the woman's request and flexes, arm bending once then twice at the elbow.

"It's fine," she answers.

There was no Pokemon. Cecilia is certain there was no Pokemon. Her gaze flickers across Cait but she asks nothing.

"Thank you."

cait appeared immensely satisfied by her work, impressed that she had succeeded at avoiding any amount of scarring.

'no signs of irritation - there's a bit of blood that needs wiping off, though.' 
 
"i'll grab a wash cloth for you," she volunteered. 

she'd slip away for only a moment and reemerged with a slightly damp piece of fabric in hand. cecilia's skin was cleaned in short order, cait humming quietly as she performed the task. 

"
please be a little more careful next time," she advised. "it'd be a shame if you fell prey to a pokemon, miss - ..."

she pulled away the cloth and blinked at the young woman.

"
may i have your name?"

[attr="class","igglybuff-wrapper"] Cecilia's nose crinkles as the woman makes a point to parent her. She resists the urge to draw away from Cait but the very second the cloth is lifted, pulls her arm back and holds it at her side like it had been wounded all over again.

"Cecilia," she answers. "CC if you prefer."

She stands and brushes a curl of dark hair out of her face. Cecilia inspects her bare arm again. She had been wearing a light jacket but now it's ruined. "Where's a good place to buy a new jacket?"

Her gaze falls back to Cait.

"the local shopping center is stocked with everything you'd possibly need. though i'd honestly recommend the locally ran establishments - you know, the 'home grown' stuff? the quality of their merchandise is way better. a bit on the pricier side but it lasts.

she casually tossed the blood soiled cloth into a nearby bin, her gaze shifting back onto cecillia as she quirked a perfectly plucked brow.

"
cecilia," she parroted. "are you native to hoenn? your accent is telling me otherwise.

[attr="class","igglybuff-wrapper"] "No. I'm from Kanto," Cecilia answers, half dismissive as she considers what Cait had previously told her. In truth, she has a preference for brand name things but local businesses usually have an assortment of unique trinkets and bobbles.

"Price doesn't matter. Would you be willing to show me to one of the stores?" she asks, already making her way to the door. Cecilia rubs at her arm again, feeling for some remnant of her previous injury but there is nothing. There is no suggestion the wound had ever existed except for a torn jacket and a blood soiled cloth.

the name was a familiar one.

and the request to follow was also surprising as well as unexpected. 

"i don't see why not. but i'll need a moment to fix my hair. it could use a little brushing," she murmured, having considered it for only a moment as her fingers ran through her curls. "
do you want me to throw away your old jacket?

she paused - albeit briefly. 

"
are you - do you have family here?
