He collapsed after that third match. The reasons were simple: exhaustion and blood loss. Easy enough for my power… my psynergy… to fix and heal.
It still didn't stop me from being afraid.
I haven't been this nervous about healing since… actually, I've never been this nervous. Healing has always come naturally to me. Father said it was because I had a "gift" for it, like my mother before me. Alex said it was because I was kind-hearted, despite my sarcasm. But for some reason, trying to heal an unconscious Isaac has me in a nervous fit.
…Okay, "fit" is a little exaggerated. My hands don't shake; my voice doesn't tremble. I'm perfectly calm… outwardly. Inwardly… that's a different story.
Is it because he's a close… ally? Friend? Crush? Maybe the third one, since I've never had trouble with healing in Imil, where I was born and raised.
Or is it because I have to use my psynergy to heal him? We are in Babi's Palace… and he has made it no secret that he's interesting in this power. Garet and Ivan take care to avoid the palace while Isaac sleeps. Garet doesn't trust his temper and Ivan… Ivan doesn't want to chance Babi remembering the mind-reading from Altmiller Cave.
Me? I sit at Isaac's bedside, unmoving. I am a healer, first and foremost. And he is my friend. So, nerves or not, I'm going to make sure Isaac makes a full recovery. Then… when Isaac wakes up… we can leave this place behind and continue on our quest.
Author's Note:
Okay… This wouldn't leave me alone. So much so that this was written at 6:30 in the morning… without any sleep prior. Long story short, I've never trusted Babi in any of my playthroughs… and choose to interpret some of the character dialogue as being nervous and distrustful of him as a result. So, this is Mia during Isaac's coma being nervous at having to use psynergy in Babi's palace. The ending is rushed, sorry. Um… and that's it. Hopefully, I can go to sleep now. ^^
