As he tightened the make-shift bandage, Rae closed her eyes in pain. At his words, she nodded stiffly. "Alright." She opened her eyes and using her good arm, pushed herself to a standing position. The first step made her head spin, but Rae only sighed and waited for the light-headedness to pass.

"Just fine," she muttered through clenched teeth. On a normal day she probably would have been more nice about his help, but she was in some major pain, so she wasn't. Rae held her arm tightly against herself as they walked.
"You know.. Corona says if I use my sword right I might be able to cut off all feeling from your arm. You won't feel the pain but you won't be able to move it, either." Of course he forgot to mention how difficult this would be, as he would have to use his sword and hit Rae in the head at just the right spot...
Rae stared at him and then at her arm. She nodded. "Go for it," She said, sadness in her voice.
"Okay.. its only temporary. And if the need arises, I can end the damage at will. Though um.. it might take a few tries... it'll only hurt a little..." He drew his sword, and seemed a bit hesitant. Corona was just glad that no damage done would be permanent.
Rae frowned. "Uh, where, pray tell, do you plan on hitting me with that?" She looked at the sword.
"The side of your head, of course. I need to damage the part of your brain that controls that arm. Hopefully I do it right... I've never done it before..." He held up his sword as if to take aim.
N-never done it before? She was frightened beyond belief, but she figured if he missed she would probably be dead instantly. So Rae braced herself for the blow.
He swung his sword up at her and slashed across her eye and through her head. Though, no wound whatsoever appeared. Instead, she felt a slight pinch in her mind and the whole side of her body became numb, including the arm that was injured. When he realized he went too far, and she lost her balance, he caught her. "Oops... I guess I did it wrong..."
