The distinct sound of a woman muttering under her breath roused Rincewind from his less than pleasant nap. Noticing that the wizard had woken up the Luggage's multiple legs emerged from its side stretching each one before it wandered over to me. Distracted I started to pace, muttering darkly under my breath so I did not even seeing him wincing.

"What am I going to do now? Why do I keep messing with those stupid tomes?" I growled when I finally paused in my pacing, looking at the wall of my bedroom with a glare.

"I could...ask the same." Rincewind coughed, making a rather half-hearted attempt at sitting. When it only made the sharp pain in his nose worse as well as sending black spots before his eyes when he tried to squint he groaned. Waiting patiently for the dizziness and spots to vacate his head and sight Rincewind grit his teeth, slowly opening his eyes once the spots had at least disappeared to find a pair of bright blue eyes watching him closely.

"Look just so we're clear I didn't want to bring you here but I had no choice. If someone had stumbled across you lying unconscious on the floor of the Ravnican library I would have had a long lecture to look forward to." I explained as he stared back at me. Noting the wide-eyed stare he was giving my face I rolled my eyes. "You're not going to try and run away again are you? I wouldn't normally point this out but it didn't do wonders for your nose. It's stopped bleeding but it looks pretty swollen. Does it hurt?"

"My nose? What happened to my nose?" Rincewind muttered, raising a hand to his nose and with a grimace he lightly touched the tip with his fingers. Which instantly produced a pained yelp and I couldn't help wincing in response as he pulled his hand away from his face, his gaze turning to me with two blue eyes narrowed.

"Before you raise your voice at me I didn't give you a bloody nose the wall did that. Anyway it's your own fault for running into it." I told him, stepping over to the bed and Rincewind quickly scooted back forgetting all about his nose as I moved close enough to kneel at his bedside. Seeing his mouth widen I quickly shook my head at him trying to soothe him before he could hurt himself even more.

"I promise you I'm not going to hurt you. While you were out cold I could have but I didn't so please relax alright?" I sighed and he snorted, realizing too late that that was a poor choice when his swollen nose protested the action. "I had to carry you all the way back to my home. You're lying on my bed in case you're curious. I couldn't exactly leave you passed out on the floor."

"Tell that to my nose." Rincewind grumbled as he eyed me his lips pursued together as I shifted closer. Still kneeling I stared at him waiting patiently until with a loud sigh he raised an eyebrow at me. "Why am I chatting with a zombie?" He asked, regretting it the moment my eyes narrowed at him and he grimaced at the way my lips curled back to expose my teeth.

"Don't you dare call me that!" I shouted so suddenly Rincewind let out a very unmanly scream, scrambling away from me as I pushed my face close enough to his so that he could see two brown eyes narrowed in fury. "I'm not a zombie. I prefer sentient undead if you don't mind." I growled a little less forceful after Rincewind tried unsuccessfully to disappear under the blanket covering my bed.

"Alright, alright! I won't call you that again if you would please stop shouting!" Rincewind shouted back as I straightened, glaring down at him as he uncovered his face.

"You're the one shouting now." I pointed out, unable to hide a tiny smile of amusement now at the look of pure shock on his face. "For the record I am a healer so just stay still and let me look at your nose. I need to see where the damage is so I can fix it." I soothed, waiting until he gave me a tiny nod having pulled the blanket down under his chin now. "What's your name, wizard?" I asked as I peered at the very tip of his nose, noting how red and swollen it looked up close not to mention the dried blood near his nostrils.

"Oh...it's Rincewind." He replied after a brief pause, his mind whirling at the thought that a zombie...sorry, sentient undead was currently doctoring his nose. "How do you know I'm a wizard?" He asked as an afterthought.

"It's stitched onto your hat though it is spelled wrong. I'm Ailis by the way." I told him, peering at his nose from several angles until with a tiny smile I lifted my hand and he flinched as I set my open palm against his cheek. "Relax, Rincewind. It won't hurt at all." I promised him and Rincewind tried to stay still until my hand started to glow and his eyes widened, all thoughts of being calm flying straight out the window.

Seeing his eyes widen I quickly placed my other hand firmly on his shoulder and he jerked, freezing in place. "Just stay perfectly still or I might make a mistake and give you a permantly crooked nose." I warned and he let out a tiny squeak of surprise as I gave him a grin that showed all of my teeth.

Despite his reluctance to let me anywhere his nose Rincewind soon felt the pain in his nose dulling though even when the pain vanished entirely he didn't move still frozen in place. At least until I set my arm on the bed looking at him with both eyebrows raised.

"You know you can let go of my arm anytime, Rincewind." I teased and he glanced down to find that his right hand had clamped down on mine, pinning both to the bed. With an audible cough the wizard released my hand, his hand moving to his nose and as he tentatively poked it with his fingers I noticed that he now sported two very red cheeks.

"S..sorry." Rincewind apologized and I rolled my eyes as he perched on the edge of the bed, reminding me of Tomri's gargoyle. "I don't usually hold hands with someone who kidnaps me."

"No need to apologize, Rincewind. You were in pain after all." I replied, giving him a tiny smile until it clicked what he'd just said and with a straight face. "Hey I didn't kidnap you. I just pulled you from your own dimesion. Not on purpose." I added with a shrug, standing as he continued to stare at me.

"That would still be considered kidnapping even if it was accidental." Rincewind countered once his mind finally agreed and supplied him with a retort. Giving up I threw my arms into the air walking towards the bedroom door with my shoulders hunched.

"If you're going to take on that attitude I'll just leave you here and let you find your own way home." I told him once I reached the door, turning around in time to see him rubbing the blanket's edge between his fingers his gaze on the carpet beneath my bed. "Unless you would like to be a little more pleasant? I was going to ask if you would like to join me for lunch?" I asked and his head jerked up, a loud gurgling coming from his direction.

"That would be wonderful, yes." Rincewind stammered and I nodded, turning the doorknob with one hand while I beckoned him to follow me with the other. Climbing from my bed he straightened his robes before he crossed the room both of us turning when we heard footsteps.

To my amusement and Rincewind's frustration the Luggage that had shot out of the portal seconds after the wizard was now standing at his heels, nudging his legs as if it wanted to come with us. Growling under his breath in a language I'd never heard before Rincewind glared at it his eyes narrowed and his arms crossed against his chest determined not to let the Luggage get the better of him especially not in front of his new...well friend is a strong word so he settled on ally after some very careful consideration.

"No. You cannot come with us." Rincewind protested though The Luggage continued to stare at him and he sighed, rubbing at the bridge of his nose.

"Why not let it come with us? Believe me sentient luggage with multiple legs isn't the strangest sight in Ravnica." I suggested and Rincewind's eyes widened at me, his arms falling to his sides as the Luggage trotted over to me nudging my legs now. "Hey I think it likes me." I grinned and Rincewind rolled his eyes towards the ceiling covering his face with his left hand as he did.
