Susan Cochrane<br/>At 4855 Pinetree<br/>Talking with Cherry and Damian<br/><br/>Cherry wasn't moving with her usual fluid grace, but she wasn't hurt but so badly. Susan could see that at once.  It took her a bit longer than it should have to respond to Damian, she had to remember how to speak first.  "No problem, I don't mind at all.'  She resisted the urge to call hm Da Mo, just to watch him twitch,  by sheer force of will.  She turned slightly so she could see both of them, made sure they had as much privacy as could be expected "It went well.  They're leaning on me, no lie about that, but for info about bigger fish.  The DA didn't ask about you two in particular, I didn't say anything about you, and I won't.  You guys are clear so far.  Legally.  Now, other people?"  she shrugged.<br/><br/>Linda was moving into another position.  Not flowing, her side was bothering her  enough to throw her off a little.  "All right, let me see."  She dropped to her knees beside the fighter, unslung her bag and set it down as she carefully pulled up Linda's tank top.  A very nasty bruise, Sue probed it lightly, alert to every twitch of torso muscle, little gasp of breath, flicker of expression on Linda's face.  "Let me see your arms."  Hands flowing over skiing, nothing more than the minor bruising and contusions of a fight,  same for the legs.  And yes, Susan kept her touch very professional.  Firm, gentle, but not tender.  But that bruise worried her.<br/><br/>"Right, you asked for a massage, and that's a good idea, but that bruise, well, I've got some stuff for that."  She glanced at the man watcing them.  "Get lost, buddy, we need privacy, she's getting a full rubdown, then I've got to work some stuff into that bruising, and show her how to do it herself."<br/><br/>For the first time, Susan took a careful look around to see what the room had to offer, a massage table, a mat, towels, whatever.<br/><br/>Linda was a distracting thing, she certainly drew the eye.<em>And the way she's half grinning at me, she knows exactly what she's doing to me.  I'm not gonna keep this professional for long, and the little minx knows it.</em>
