Chapter 101: Rainbows and flowers and what it meant to be healthy
"It’s so red..."
I mumbled in a low tone as my eyes stared at the condition of my inner thighs. They were as red as a blooming flower, creating a line from the rigorous movement befalling upon my skin last night.
How many times did he end up doing it last night? I wasn’t counting, and my muddled head couldn’t think properly anyway.
"Sorry," I heard his insincere apology, accompanied by a light-hearted chuckle as he embraced me from behind, rubbing the area near the reddened part.
"Don’t!" I warned him with pursed lips, to which he responded with a kiss on my cheek. But he didn’t move his fingers further, just stayed holding the outer part of my thigh.
Don’t misunderstand--I didn’t scold him. I just wanted to try something.
I stared at the reddened parts and reached down, touching them lightly. It stung for a bit, like a leftover feeling of a bruise. But I circulate my mana, calling out the wood’s regeneration and the water’s rejuvenation, pooling it into my palms and my thigh.
Slowly, a soft glow in green and light blue danced around my hands, and when they receded, my thighs had returned to their normal condition, and when I pressed on it, there was no stinging feeling anymore.
Hmm, it was as if nothing happened last night.
"Oh, I did it..." I giggled quietly. It was the first time I tried direct healing with a druid’s skill, since there was no need for me to do that before. It was nothing big, but I was still glad that it was a success.
I was rewarded with another kiss on my neck. "Good job," Natha said while fixing my nightwear back; pulling my pants and tying the cord neatly in place. He didn’t let go of me after that, however, placing his palm above my abdomen. "Your circuits have stabilized. I think you’re in better shape compared to before you got sick, even."
