If Tatin had been capable of conscious thought during Aurelia's... healing was far too benign of a term for what was the forcible crafting of his body back into place... he would have thought that this process must be like what the creation of a humanoid species was like... at ridiculous speeds.<br/><br/>Tatin wasn't sure how his sensory organs could function when they too were being rearranged. It wasn't just the shattered bones, ruptured organs, torn muscles and tendons that were piecing themselves back together, but small changes along parts that, what few had escaped Aurelia's onslaught, were twitching and twisting to become even more heightened. Down the line, Tatin would gain several benefits to this, his senses more acute, more attuned, his eyesight improving markedly. But at the present moment, this increase in efficiency only meant that his nerves were receiving and sending more signals than a normal humans, and at the moment this meant far more pain.<br/><br/>He grit his teeth, shaking and trembling as his body convulsed under Aurelia's ministrations. He felt his eyes start to roll back in his head as his shattered vertebrae reassembled, stronger than before but no less pain as pure liquid agony shot up and down his spine.<br/><br/>As suddenly as it had begun, it stopped and his body, arching up against her in some lewd parody of what any man would have killed for, slumped back down with a dull thud that made him groan out. There was genuine pain still coursing through his veins, but it was dampened. Even Tatin's mind felt swifter as it processed this fact, and realized that his muscles had the dull ache of a vigorous workout. This was a pleasant thought to him and he couldn't help but let a lopsided, almost maniac grin cross his features as Aurelia moved away from him.<br/><br/>He nodded at her command and laid there. He relished in the pain, now back down to acceptable levels that he could process, the dull ache pulsing inside him as he couldn't help but let out a chuckle. The chuckle soon became a laugh. As he shakily rose, his conscious mind still working out how to maneuver a body that moments ago was not nearly as... well crafted, made him laugh again. He could FEEL what wondrous new strength, agility, dexterity,<em>everything</em>he would have when the ache subsided.<br/><br/>As he stumbled into the refresher, he laughed incessantly, not 15 minutes ago feeling as if he would die with pain, now feeling as if he would never be more alive.
