Tarlomen's Gate
Wide enough for fifteen men abreast, the gates allowing access to the Tower
grounds are iron bound. The gilded Flames of Tar Valon set high up in the
thick timber have been polished to a shine that a Tinker would find
satisfactory. A cool river breeze wafts through the gate, making the trees
and bushes in the grounds to the north rustle and sway. The pale shaft of
the White Tower lies to the north, reaching a hundred spans into the air.

Before the White Tower
The White Tower looms to the north, rising over a hundred spans into the
sky. Trees and bushes, both short and tall, are sprinkled around the path
and throughout the Tower grounds. The path is covered by pieces of small
white gravel and bordered by white bricks. White steps, at least a pace
deep and slightly arched in the middle, lead up to the White Tower.

The Warders' Practice Yard
A large expanse of bare ground at least fifty paces across and nearly twice
as long stretches forth, its earth beaten hard. At intervals around it
under the trees stand wooden stands holding quarterstaffs and practice
swords made of strips of wood bound loosely together, and a few real swords
and axes and spears. A large gray stone building lies to the east, home to
the warder students and those warders who are not sharing quarters with
their Aes Sedai in the main Tower structure itself.

close door
Lexiane smiles happily.
Penzei starts paying increased attention to her surroundings.
Lexiane says 'This is only the second time an Accepted has taken me to a classroom!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane turns to Penzei eagerly, her eyes looking hungry for instruction.
Lexiane says 'I don't know what lesson you have to give, but I am excited for it!'
Penzei smiles happily.
Penzei says 'Have a seat please!'
Lexiane settles into a chair.
Lexiane produces paper, pen, and ink from a hidden pocket and watches you closely.
Penzei walks up to the front of the class room, produces a leather binder of parchment
from seemingly nowhere inside her dress and slaps it onto the desk.
Lexiane jumps at the sound of the slap.
Lexiane blushes.
Penzei says 'So, have you had any experince with healing weaves ?'
Penzei smiles happily.
Lexiane says 'No, Accepted. I don't think I have Talent for healing.'
Lexiane sighs as though disappointed in herself.
Penzei says 'Why do you say that ?'
Lexiane says 'Well, I try to learn and it just doesn't go particularly well.'
Penzei taps the front of her lips momentarily with her index finger.
Penzei says 'Define "well"'
Lexiane sits with her pen hovering over the paper, ready to write.
Lexiane says 'Well I understand the concepts.'
Lexiane says 'And I can produce the weaves, sometimes.'
Lexiane says 'Just not easy for me to do. Difficult.'
Lexiane says 'I have much more affinity for other weaves.'
Lexiane says 'Air, in particular, I am strong in.'
Penzei says 'Oh, dear, that is just inexperience, remember sometimes the best offensive move
you can make is ensuring your heavily armored soldiers stay in the fight!'
Lexiane winces at the mention of a fight.
Lexiane says 'Oh, I don't plan to do much fighting unless I have to. I did weave
Boboliosie until he left the Tower, Accepted.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'But that's the only fighting I go near.'
Penzei says 'If you expect to make it far in the Tower, you'll find yourself in some violent
sitations from time to time!'
Lexiane nods, her shaved head reflecting the lamplight.
Penzei puts her hands on her hips and continues speaking," How we handle ourselves in the
face of danger is very important! "
Lexiane says 'I understand, Accepted. And I am willing and able to handle myself. Just not
what I prefer.'
Lexiane says 'I quite like thinking, I've found.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'Asking myself questions and trying to answer them.'
Penzei nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Reading books and thinking about ideas.'
Lexiane says 'But of course, I also know Aes Sedai must sometimes set things in motion.'
Lexiane says 'Field experiments!'
Lexiane brightens up at finding the right phrase.
Penzei says 'I complete understand your trepidation and no matter what path you choose to
pursue in the Tower, you'll find yourself in many different kinds of situation.'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Of course, I understand! I was doing dishes when I found Boboliosie!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I had to throw ice spikes at him until he ran away.'
Penzei says 'We've all been doing dishes when a wild Boboliosie has appeared much to the
chagrin of novices'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane shrugs helplessly.
Lexiane says 'He ran away pretty fast.'
Lexiane says 'He did also leave some gold lying on the ground, that was nice of him.'
Penzei says 'When faced with a real challenge he tends to do that'
Penzei giggles.
Penzei says 'So tell me, when you are channeling healing weaves, what do you find difficult ?'
Lexiane says 'Oh I find the people's bodies part the hard part.'
Lexiane says 'Very complicated and a little gross.'
Lexiane makes a disgusted face.
Lexiane says 'Once when Myrtle lit Elmitsu's dress on fire Elmitsu got burnt. The Aes
Sedai had to heal her and I watched her skin go from all weird and bubbly to normal.'
Lexiane shivers uncomfortably.
Penzei says 'Anatomy can be alittle 'revealing' and strange at first'
Penzei says 'But remember, the healing arts seeks to save lives!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'A lot of fluids...'
Penzei says 'Being squimish in the face of alittle, gore so to speak, will cause you to lose
focus!'
Lexiane says 'I am fine with some gore, Accepted.'
Lexiane says 'I had to kill 60 frogs and 20 horses the other day.'
Penzei falls down laughing.
Lexiane says 'Chloro Sedai asked me to clear out the Tower.'
Penzei says 'But not so much the same when its people huh ?'
Lexiane says 'I just don't like trying to fix it!'
Penzei says 'Which is fair to say, but often very necessary in our chosen profession'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'I understand, Accepted. I will keep practicing.'

Penzei stops using an emerald-hilted foil.
Penzei tries to quietly draw a shiny copper dagger from a camouflaged hood.
Lexiane says 'Have what?'
Lexiane looks around, worried.
Penzei opens her palm on her left hand and grasps the dagger in her right hand, then
removes it quickly causing alittle blood to come running out.
Lexiane says 'Oh!'
Penzei says 'Oh no! Accepted Lexiane, please help me!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I don't have any healing weaves memorized at the moment!'

Penzei feels this forced sleep beginning to fade.
Penzei is awakened by Lexiane.
Lexiane says 'Accepted!'
Lexiane says 'I put you to sleep and wrapped your hand!'
Lexiane points to Penzei's bandaged hand.
Maybe you should get on your feet first?
Lexiane says 'I didn't know what to do!'
Penzei stands up.
Penzei boggles at that.
Lexiane says 'So I did that!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'So it wouldn't hurt!'
Penzei says 'To be fair, I probably should have asked you first'
Lexiane gestures at the torn hem of her dress.
Lexiane says 'Oh, I am sorry!'
Lexiane says 'I was worried!'
Lexiane says 'Who cuts themselves?!'
Lexiane is clearly a bit panicked.
Lexiane says 'I was worried you were going to hurt yourself more!'
Penzei says 'Oh come now, it's just a flesh wound and easily repaired by the Aes Sedai of the
Yellow Ajah as soon as I leave here'
Lexiane says 'Well, what kind of person cuts themselves?!'
Penzei says 'The point being, even the weakest of the healing weaves could handle such a
simple cut'
Lexiane says 'Oh, well, I am not very good at those weaves.'
Lexiane says 'I am good at helping people sleep, though.'
Lexiane says 'So I did that to protect you from yourself.'
Lexiane says 'Cutting yourself is dangerous!'
Penzei says 'let me ask you a question'
Penzei says 'Do you utilize the Armor weave ?'
Lexiane says 'Yes!'
Penzei senses Lexiane connecting to the True Source.
Penzei senses Lexiane is channeling saidar.
Lexiane fails to pull together whatever flows she was trying to weave.
Penzei senses Lexiane is channeling saidar.
Lexiane gestures briefly at Lexiane, who now appears more impressive somehow.
Lexiane smiles happily.
Lexiane says 'I am ok with Spirit, too.'
Penzei says 'Do you utilize any sort of water weaves ?'
Lexiane says 'I know how to make ice spikes'
Penzei says 'perfect'
Penzei says 'What about any locate weaves ?'
Lexiane says 'Locate life.'
Lexiane says 'I got that to watch out for Loret, the mean Child of the Light lady who
stabed Elmitsu!'
Lexiane says 'Elmitsu is another novice, she's my friend. She has a block but she's
getting better.'
Penzei nods in agreement.
Lexiane is babbling a bit after the stress.
Penzei says 'Okay so you most definetly have all the required learning to utilize a healing
weave!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Probably!'
Penzei says 'Also just because you are not the most adept at the weave doesn't mean it will
not be effective'
Lexiane says 'That's true, I wish I could have healed your hand.'
Lexiane gestures to Penzei's poorly bandaged hand.
weave without completely mastering said weave!
Penzei says 'It order to still be effective you can become good, very good, or even exellent
at a weave without completely mastering said weave!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'That makes sense'
Lexiane says 'I am only good at armor'
Lexiane says 'And only good at Sleep, too!'
Penzei says '( I generally get healing weaves, or cure status weaves anywhere from 50%-80% )'
Lexiane says 'But I was worried you would hurt yourself so that's why I put you to sleep.'
Lexiane says 'I know I am not supposed to weave on people without their permission but I
didn't want you to keep hurting yourself so it seemed smart.'
Penzei says 'You can definitely diversify your weave knowledge to handle a mirade of sitation'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Do you know what this does?'
Penzei senses Lexiane connecting to the True Source.
Penzei senses Lexiane is channeling saidar.
Lexiane forms a beautiful weave of blue light about Lexiane's body.
Lexiane says 'I learned it here but I am not sure what it does.'
Lexiane says 'Wards against evil!'
Lexiane says 'But I am not sure what that means.'
Penzei says 'The weave has essentially lost it's purpose'
Lexiane says 'Oh.'
Lexiane says 'Well, it's pretty.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I guess that's something.'
Penzei says 'the only time I would use that weave is if I was traveling through a place that
had lots of angry monsters and I was alone'
Penzei says 'And they would basically ignore you'
Penzei says 'Outside of that, its fairly useless'
Lexiane says 'Ah, so like walking through the warder yard right before dinner.'
Penzei says 'OOC IE it removes the color from your name when fighting Dark Side'
Penzei falls down laughing.
Lexiane says 'Well thank you for the lesson. Please don't keep hurting yourself!'
Penzei giggles.
Penzei says 'Learn yourself some healing weaves!'
Penzei is already standing.
Penzei says 'I promise they will come in handy'
Lexiane says 'Ok I will next time I refocus my studies.'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Is our lesson ended, then?'
Lexiane says 'I want you to get your hand fixed!'
Penzei says 'Don't worry, I'll be just fine, go back to your dishes and shelving your books!'
Lexiane says 'Ok, thank you for instructing me!'
Lexiane curtseys gracefully.
Lexiane opens the door.
Penzei says 'Anytime!'
Lexiane waves.
Lexiane leaves west. <<
A lesson on being squimish!!
Re: A lesson on being squimish!!
From Lexiane's perspective!
Jenda Sedai gave novice Lexiane the task of seeking out Accepted Penzei for a lesson. Lexiane found Penzei in the square and requested that lesson. A lesson on healing is momentarily derailed by some creative thinking.

Lexiane gestures at the torn hem of her dress.
Lexiane says 'Oh, I am sorry!'
Lexiane says 'I was worried!'
Lexiane says 'Who cuts themselves?!'
Lexiane is clearly a bit panicked.
Lexiane says 'I was worried you were going to hurt yourself more!'
Penzei says 'Oh come now, it's just a flesh wound and easily repaired by the Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah as soon as I leave here'
Lexiane says 'Well, what kind of person cuts themselves?!'
Penzei says 'The point being, even the weakest of the healing weaves could handle such a simple cut'
Lexiane says 'Oh, well, I am not very good at those weaves.'
Lexiane says 'I am good at helping people sleep, though.'
Lexiane says 'So I did that to protect you from yourself.'
Lexiane says 'Cutting yourself is dangerous!'
Penzei says 'let me ask you a question'
Penzei says 'Do you utilize the Armor weave ?'
Lexiane says 'Yes!'
Lexiane is already standing.
Lexiane feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.
Lexiane weave flows of Spirit around herself.
Lexiane smiles happily.
Lexiane says 'I am ok with Spirit, too.'
Penzei says 'Do you utilize any sort of water weaves ?'
Lexiane says 'I know how to make ice spikes'
Penzei says 'perfect'
Penzei says 'What about any locate weaves ?'
Lexiane says 'Locate life.'
Lexiane says 'I got that to watch out for Loret, the mean Child of the Light lady who stabed Elmitsu!'
Lexiane says 'Elmitsu is another novice, she's my friend. She has a block but she's getting better.'
Penzei nods in agreement.
Lexiane is babbling a bit after the stress.
Penzei says 'Okay so you most definetly have all the required learning to utilize a healing weave!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Probably!'
Penzei says 'Also just because you are not the most adept at the weave doesn't mean it will not be effective'
Lexiane says 'That's true, I wish I could have healed your hand.'
Lexiane gestures to Penzei's poorly bandaged hand.
Penzei says 'It order to still be effective you can become good, very good, or even exellent at a
weave without completely mastering said weave!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'That makes sense'
Lexiane says 'I am only good at armor'
Lexiane says 'And only good at Sleep, too!'
Lexiane says 'But I was worried you would hurt yourself so that's why I put you to sleep.'
Lexiane says 'I know I am not supposed to weave on people without their permission but I didn't want you to keep hurting yourself so it seemed smart.'
Penzei says 'You can definitely diversify your weave knowledge to handle a mirade of sitation'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Do you know what this does?'
Lexiane feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.
Lexiane's carefully woven spirit forms a blue aura about her body!
Lexiane says 'I learned it here but I am not sure what it does.'
Lexiane says 'Wards against evil!'
Lexiane says 'But I am not sure what that means.'
Penzei says 'The weave has essentially lost it's purpose'
Lexiane says 'Oh.'
Lexiane says 'Well, it's pretty.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I guess that's something.'
Penzei says 'the only time I would use that weave is if I was traveling through a place that had lots of angry monsters and I was alone'
Penzei says 'And they would basically ignore you'
Penzei says 'Outside of that, its fairly useless'
Lexiane says 'Ah, so like walking through the warder yard right before dinner.'
Penzei falls down laughing.
Lexiane's blue aura has faded.
Lexiane says 'Well thank you for the lesson. Please don't keep hurting yourself!'
Penzei giggles.
Penzei says 'Learn yourself some healing weaves!'
Penzei says 'I promise they will come in handy'
Lexiane says 'Ok I will next time I refocus my studies.'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Is our lesson ended, then?'
Lexiane says 'I want you to get your hand fixed!'
Penzei says 'Don't worry, I'll be just fine, go back to your dishes and shelving your books!'
Lexiane says 'Ok, thank you for instructing me!'
Lexiane curtseys to her audience.
Jenda Sedai gave novice Lexiane the task of seeking out Accepted Penzei for a lesson. Lexiane found Penzei in the square and requested that lesson. A lesson on healing is momentarily derailed by some creative thinking.
Main characters: Lexiane, Penzei
Passerby: Ackbar
Point of view: Lexiane
Put through the rp-lizer and lightly edited.
Tower Square
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
Zone: Tar Valon
Door north: TarlomensGate
A one person canoe rests on the ground.
A marble bench, flecked with gold and bronze, adorns the floor.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
An elaborately sculpted marble fountain splashes merrily.
A stout wooden barrel stands nearby.
A large man eyes the surroundings warily, every movement fluid.
Penzei Perets, Tower Accepted, Yellow Ajah Apprentice is standing here.
An old woman smiles kindly.
Ackbar the Recruit is standing here.
The Tar Valon town crier stands here, spreading the news.
Lexiane marches into the square, her body language all business.
Lexiane curtsies to the square.
Lexiane says 'Hello, Accepted!'
Penzei smiles happily.
Penzei says 'Greetings Novice Lexiane!'
Penzei says 'How are you?'
Lexiane says 'I am well, thank you.'
Lexiane says 'Jenda Sedai told me to seek you out for a lesson.'
Ackbar bends over Lexiane's fair hand and kisses it gallantly.
Penzei says 'Ah! Ofcourse!'
Lexiane nearly jumps out of her dress!
Lexiane says 'Blood and ashes!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'Scared me!'
Penzei beckons Lexiane to follow her.
Ackbar boggles at the thought.
Lexiane snatches her hand back.
Lexiane says 'Who is that?!'
Lexiane now follows Penzei.
Lexiane says 'Who is that?!'
Penzei says 'Oh it's just a member of the Civil Watch'
Penzei says 'Don't worry they are harmless'
Penzei giggles.
Penzei winks at Ackbar.
Lexiane says 'Ah. I have heard that the city is glamorous and has many sites.'
Ackbar says 'Is that not proper behavior in Tar Valon?'
Lexiane says 'No, people generally do not kiss my hand.'
Lexiane says 'Well, Skullcrusher does sometimes.'
Lexiane says 'That's my horse.'
Penzei looks at Lexiane.
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'But mostly he nips my hand for treats.'
Ackbar says 'My apologies. '
Ackbar says 'Your mount has fine taste.'
Lexiane says 'What an odd thing to say!'
Lexiane whispers to Penzei 'How do we escape?!'
Penzei falls down laughing.
Lexiane whispers to Penzei 'He wants to EAT me!'
Penzei says 'Excuse us, we have matters to attend to good sir!'
Penzei curtseys gracefully.
Ackbar bows before Penzei.
Lexiane whispers to Penzei 'I knew Tarabon was poor but I had not thought that poor!'
Lexiane curtseys to her audience.
Penzei leaves north. ^^
Lexiane follows Penzei.
The pair travel to a classroom inside the Tower
In the Classroom
A board of black slate hangs on the wall near the door, suggesting this
room is used as a classroom. The room is plain and windowless and has
enough place to seat thirty students. A dais with a desk sits at the front
of the room, where the Aes Sedai or Accepted teaching the class can sit.
[ obvious exits: W ]
Zone: White Tower Upper Floors
Door west: door
Penzei Perets, Tower Accepted, Yellow Ajah Apprentice is standing here.
A young girl in a plain white dress stands here.
A large man eyes the surroundings warily, every movement fluid.
A haughty young woman strides by practicing Aes Sedai serenity.
Lexiane says 'This is only the second time an Accepted has taken me to a classroom!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane turns to Penzei eagerly, her eyes looking hungry for instruction.
Lexiane says 'I don't know what lesson you have to give, but I am excited for it!'
Penzei smiles happily.
Penzei says 'Have a seat please!'
Lexiane settles into a chair.
Lexiane produces paper, pen, and ink from a hidden pocket and watches you closely.
Penzei walks up to the front of the class room, produces a leather binder of parchment from seemingly nowhere inside her dress and slaps it onto the desk.
Lexiane jumps at the sound of the slap.
Lexiane blushes.
Penzei says 'So, have you had any experience with healing weaves ?'
Penzei smiles happily.
Lexiane says 'No, Accepted. I don't think I have Talent for healing.'
Lexiane sighs as though disappointed in herself.
Penzei says 'Why do you say that ?'
Lexiane says 'Well, I try to learn and it just doesn't go particularly well.'
Lexiane says 'Air, in particular, I am strong in.'
Penzei says 'Oh, dear, that is just inexperience, remember sometimes the best offensive move you can make is ensuring your heavily armored soldiers stay in the fight!'
Lexiane winces at the mention of a fight.
Lexiane says 'Oh, I don't plan to do much fighting unless I have to. I did weave Boboliosie until he left the Tower, Accepted.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'But that's the only fighting I go near.'
Penzei says 'If you expect to make it far in the Tower, you'll find yourself in some violent situations from time to time!'
Lexiane nods, her shaved head reflecting the lamplight.
Penzei puts her hands on her hips and continues speaking," How we handle ourselves in the face of danger is very important! "
Lexiane says 'I understand, Accepted. And I am willing and able to handle myself. Just not what I prefer.'
Lexiane says 'I quite like thinking, I've found.'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'Asking myself questions and trying to answer them.'
Penzei nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Reading books and thinking about ideas.'
Lexiane says 'But of course, I also know Aes Sedai must sometimes set things in motion.'
Lexiane says 'Field experiments!'
Lexiane brightens up at finding the right phrase.
Penzei says 'I complete understand your trepidation and no matter what path you choose to pursue in the Tower, you'll find yourself in many different kinds of situation.'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'Of course, I understand! I was doing dishes when I found Boboliosie!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I had to throw ice spikes at him until he ran away.'
Penzei says 'We've all been doing dishes when a wild Boboliosie has appeared much to the chagrin of novices'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane shrugs.
Lexiane says 'He ran away pretty fast.'
Lexiane says 'He did also leave some gold lying on the ground, that was nice of him.'
Penzei says 'When faced with a real challenge he tends to do that'
Penzei giggles.
Penzei says 'So tell me, when you are channeling healing weaves, what do you find difficult ?'
Lexiane says 'Oh I find the people's bodies part the hard part.'
Lexiane says 'Very complicated and a little gross.'
Lexiane makes a disgusted face.
Lexiane says 'Once when Myrtle lit Elmitsu's dress on fire Elmitsu got burnt. The Aes Sedai had to heal her and I watched her skin go from all weird and bubbly to normal.'
Lexiane shivers uncomfortably.
Penzei says 'Anatomy can be a little 'revealing' and strange at first'
Penzei says 'But remember, the healing arts seeks to save lives!'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'A lot of fluids...'
Penzei says 'Being squimish in the face of alittle, gore so to speak, will cause you to lose focus!'
Lexiane says 'I am fine with some gore, Accepted.'
Lexiane says 'I had to kill 60 frogs and a lot of horses the other day.'
Penzei falls down laughing.
Lexiane says 'Chloro Sedai asked me to clear out the Tower.'
Penzei says 'But not so much the same when it's people huh ?'
Lexiane says 'I just don't like trying to fix it!'
Penzei says 'Which is fair to say, but often very necessary in our chosen profession'
Lexiane nods in agreement.
Lexiane says 'I understand, Accepted. I will keep practicing.'
Penzei says 'That being said, Lets have it!'
Penzei stops using an emerald-hilted foil.
Penzei draws a shiny copper dagger from a camouflaged hood with a flash of steel.
Lexiane says 'Have what?'
Lexiane looks around, worried.
Penzei opens her palm on her left hand and grasps the dagger in her right hand, then removes it quickly causing alittle blood to come running out.
Lexiane says 'Oh!'
Penzei says 'Oh no! Accepted Lexiane, please help me!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'I don't have any healing weaves memorized at the moment!'
Lexiane feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.
Lexiane begins weaving a complicated weave of Air and Spirit, then settles it down on Penzei.
Penzei lies down and falls asleep.
Lexiane nods in agreement, satisfied with herself.

Penzei Perets, Tower Accepted, Yellow Ajah Apprentice is sleeping here.
A young girl in a plain white dress stands here.
A large man eyes the surroundings warily, every movement fluid.
A haughty young woman strides by practicing Aes Sedai serenity.
Lexiane says 'I didn't want you to hurt youself more!'
Lexiane springs into motion.
Lexiane rips cloth from the hem of her dress.
Lexiane begins inexpertly wrapping the cloth around Penzei's injured hand.
Lexiane leans back with a sigh, studying the injury.
Lexiane takes Penzei's knife from her and then nods for herself, satisfied.
Lexiane release the flows keeping Penzei asleep.
Lexiane wakes Penzei up.
Lexiane says 'Accepted!'
Lexiane says 'I put you to sleep and wrapped your hand!'
Lexiane points to Penzei's bandaged hand.
Lexiane says 'I didn't know what to do!'
Penzei clambers to her feet.
Penzei boggles at the thought.
Lexiane says 'So I did that!'
Penzei giggles.
Lexiane says 'So it wouldn't hurt!'
Penzei says 'To be fair, I probably should have asked you first'
