Tris sits on one of the hospital beds, dark brown bangs falling into her eyes as she tries to keep still while a healer bandages up the underside of her forearm. Looking down at her through half-moon glasses with penetrating, concerned eyes, the healer asks, "How did this happen?" Tris blinks, taking a moment to re-focus her vivid green eyes before slowly raising her gaze to meet the healer's. "I fell," she says simply.

Todd saunters into the infirmary, heading straight for the bandage cabinet until he sees Tris. "Jeez, they must like you. Took me a week before ending up in here with major damage."

Tris looks at Todd with utter confusion on her face for a moment, as though unable to place him. Then recognition seems to dawn and she grins wryly and says, "Guess I'm just lucky, eh?" The healer clearly doesn't believe her and says, "Well, if you should happen to feel like you're going to fall again, come talk to me, okay?" Tris frowns at her and says, "Thanks, but I don't have as acute control of my balance as that.. I trip over things all the time. Am I supposed to freeze in mid-fall and float here?"

Todd laughs. "Just call for Derek. He's our own personal nursemaid."

Tris grins and replies, "I'll have to remember that. I'm extremely klutzy, as anyone from my old gym class would attest to.."

"Could be worse," Todd says. "They could try to employ you as an acrobat. Then you'd be screwed."

Tris winces and says, "I once knocked someone unconcious just while serving in volleyball.. Making me an acrobat..? It would be a blood bath.."

"See? It could definitely be worse," Todd says, making his final point.

Tris nods and says, "True." The healer motions for her to hold down the end of the bandage while she goes and searches for a pair of those adhesive hook thingies in the various drawers and cupboards. Tris does so as she asks Todd, "So, what're you here for?"

Todd holds up his left arm to show a gash across top. "Trees around here are vicious. Derek's gotten sick of me coming to him every time I get a scrape I can't deal with, so he only haled it partway. And least it's stopped bleeding. That's all I care."

"Aah, I see," Tris says with a little nod of acknowledgement. The healer returns, fastens Tris' bandage, then says, "Come down twice a day for the next three days for a change of bandage. A wound that big could get seriously infected. The salve I put on should prevent that, but I don't want to take any chances. And remember - falling doesn't have to be the way out. There are people you can talk to." As the healer walks away to deal with other patients, Tris blinks, then says, "Did she not just hear the whole 'deadly klutz, clear the way' discussion? I understand politely pretending not to hear someone else's conversation, but dude.."

Todd laughs. "Get used to it. All the teachers here are like that. Except the telepaths.. watch out for them."

"Telepaths?" Tris repeats, starting to look a little worried. "As in people who can read your mind and shuffle through your memories?"

"Exactly," Todd says. "And it seems to be quite a popular mage around here."

Tris winces and says, "Damn.. Guess I'll have to watch what I think then, huh?"

Todd nods. "Yeah, it takes some getting used to."

"I imagine so." Tris glances up when Wolf and the floating Verginia enter, looking fascinated by the simple levitation charm for a moment before she looks back at Todd. "So, what's your power then? Not telepathy, right..?" She adds that last as an afterthought, a bit warily.

Todd laughs. "No, thank god.... I've seen what that can do to people. I'm lucky to be granted with the powers of invisibility and walking through solid objects."

"Ah, I see. Sounds useful," Tris comments.
