She's stronger than I am;

[A sudden crash can be heard from this hallway as Aqua collides backwards into it. She lets out a pained and startled gasp as she slides down, leaving a red trail of blood behind her. Though the first thing one would notice is that she's covered in gashes and wounds that will surely become fatal if not treated immediately, they may also notice she's a bit older than most other Aquas. However, this one isn't from the future. In fact, quite the opposite.]

[Ooc: Info in profile. And yes, I know it's ridiculous >>;]

[You look like you could maybe use a hand in not dying. Here, hold still while I dig out a potion or two.]

Hang on.

[That is very much appreciated. Aqua will just sit here and wait. and bleed.]

[Stop that, it's bad for your health.]

Here.

[Kneels down, offering her one of the potions.]

[She chokes on part of it, but manages to swallow most of it down, sighting when she can finally breathe again.]

[There's a second one ready whenever she catches her breath.]

[After the first one significantly helps, she'll be taking the second soon after and downing that too. It looks like the majority of the bleeding has stopped for now.]

What... was that?

A potion. How are you feeling now?

[She's too weak to fully express her confusion at the answer, but her shaky sigh should answer the latter.]

Better than before. Thank-you.

Come one. You shouldn't stay out here.

[Offers a hand.]

[She hesitates on taking it. Not because she doesn't trust her, but because she noticed her surroundings and is looking around with a very worried and confused expression.]

... where am I?

A place called the dressing room. You'll see all kinds of people here who look the same, but they're not.

...It's a long story.

Where are my sons?

[Srs face is srs.]

[...Blinks.]

I don't know. They're probably back home, where you came from.

What?! Alone?! No!

[She forces herself up too quickly and she immediately winces and stumbles.]

--Careful.

[There's a hand trying to help steady her.]

There's nothing you can do for them right now. You need to heal and rest first.

[She leans against the wall just long enough to regain her balance.]

No. You don't understand. If I don't get back to them, Vexen is going to--

[She winces hard again, a hand flying to her side.]

-- I won't let him kill anyone else.

[She frowns. That sounds awfully familiar, but then again, all the other Vexens in here are assholes too.]

You won't be able to get back right now, and even if you could, you're in no condition to fight anyone. Listen- they say that time stops in your own world while you're in this place. So just let yourself recover for now.

How is that even possible? That doesn't make sense... none of this does.

[She slides her hand over her eyes.]

I know. It's confusing at first, but you have to believe me- you need to rest, and I can explain more.

[She doesn't have much strength to argue, so she merely nods.]

I'm going to need help getting there.

I can help with that.

[She offers a smile and herself to lean on.]

[She returns it with a small one and does lean, though she manages to hold her own weight well enough.]

[Leads down the hall to the closest bedroom and helps her over.]

Do you need another potion?

I think I'll be okay for now...

[Bed. ilu. She will be collapsing into that as soon as possible.]

I'll let you rest for a while. I'm sure you could use the sleep.
