Deals (Flock)

"You don't need her, we can protect you." Nezumi insists, walking stiffly besides her. Ever since she had managed to summon the three familiars she had not found a way to get them back in her mind. So now they follow her everywhere and even sleep in her room. Only Maury had been allowed to share the bed with her, Nezumi had agreed to take the floor and use Jaquen as a pillow. The wolf was okay with it, despite his harsh temper.

"No. Being so crippled is not acceptable." Robin had woken up in so much pain that she couldn't walk. It had been so long since she'd had a formal visit with a doctor that she has no idea what's wrong with her anymore. Sickle cell, like one of the doctors had said years ago, might be it... but then again someone had said cancer, another leukemia, and someone else just told her she was a hypochondriac, though there was something really wrong with some of her organs. It is all hopeless, in the end she has to ride on Jaquens broad furry back to get anywhere. Those three had arrived just in time for her.

"Robin, shouldn't you do whatever you need to do to get healthy?" Maury asks, hesitantly. "You shouldn't have to hurt so much."

"That's what I'm doing, Flock will help me if I help her." They finally make it to the nurses office and Nezumi opens the door so their group of four can go in. "Nurse Flock?" Robin says, looking in. "If it's okay, I'd like to ask you for some help."

(Note: Robin has -finally- developed her gift. She's a summoner and the three people that are with her are her familiars, not characters)

Flock didn't turn from her files as she thumbed through them. "Help?" she repeated. "What help would you need from me?"

Her eyes glistened bright yellow as she turned to face Robin. She looked just as small as Evan had when he came for help as well. Though she didn't see any revenge issues with this girl. No, she was definitely smarter. And more kind. Evan was now marked on her favorite person list. They related in their mutual anger. She chuckled at the thought of it.

She set Fivel and Kao's files down on her desk and sipped her coffee, staring at the girl in the doorway, her eyes at half-mast. "And would you be able to pay the prices I state, anyhow?" she added, her mouth upturned into a smile. "I would hope so, if you're expecting something from me."

She picked up her tea and bobbed the tea bag up and down in the cup, standing to sun streaming in from her window. She squinted through the rays, her yellow eyes looking nearly transparent. Flock cocked her head to one side.

"You all can go now, I'll be fine." Robin says to her familiars. They nod in unison and disappear. Now having to stand on her own, the girl looks at Flock. A price? She should have expected that, since that is how the world usually works. However... "I don't have any money, I can't repay you like that." She takes a steadying breath. "But I'll do whatever you ask until my debt is payed off, if that's okay."

Robin's legs tremble and her headache starts to come back. It makes her feel tired, even though she's only just gotten out of bed. It's suicide to stay like this! She thinks, knowing that she's just a target if she can't even run properly, and it's been so long since she's been able to dance. "I need you to heal my body. Since your the nurse, I figured you would be able to do it." Robin bites her lip, hoping that she's right. If Flock can't heal her then she's sure that she'll spend the rest of her life as a cripple... if she lives long enough.
