[He'd been there for hours, back torn open from the flogging received and body a mass of agony. Joe was aware that he wasn't the worst dealt that day, but it didn't mean his pain wasn't still on the extreme. He knew he should probably sleep, that the coming days would be busy, but for the moment, the man was content to stare blankly at the ground before him.

Guilt, was what he felt the most. For Sollux, and for Nel. The woman he wanted to scream at for being so foolish, for throwing her life away when he knew there was nothing she could do. Joe had witnessed and been part of enough trials to know that there was no passing the Headsman.]

[Depending on how far gone Joe is at the moment, he may or may not notice the sound of Yuna coming up behind him. Even if she had recently put up a post offering help, she still went back down to the green to see if she was needed.

Yuna clutches her staff, her mouth set in a firm line. She's definitely needed.

Without a word, Yuna casts both esuna and cure, and Joe is briefly engulfed in flashes of pink and white light.]

[After hours of fighting the need to rest, Joe has finally let sleep take over. His head is down when Yuna approaches, and as he stirs at the sound of movement, the girl casts her spells.

He jerks in surprise, pain tearing through him for a moment only to be fading rapidly a half second later. That was... weird. Joe looks to Yuna.]

What'd you do just now?

I healed you. It probably wasn't enough to take care of it completely, but... if I cast a second time it should be alright.

[Joe stares.]

Guess I should be sayin' thanks then... but really lass. Why help me?

[He's staff, after all.]

[Staff or not, Joe hasn't done anything to deserve this kind of treatment. At least, not as far as Yuna knows.]

I healed you because you were injured. [Isn't that enough? Either way, Yuna casts cure one last time. There's another flash of that white light, and then it's done.]

There. Hopefully that will be enough.

[It's still tender, still scarred, but far better than it was. Joe watches the girl carefully and gives a small nod.]

Thank you, lass. I don't believe we've met. What's yer name?

[summonupastorm.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[She offers him a small smile.]

My name is Yuna.
