Aoi smiled, "I would have come with you, Rex. How could you think that I would hold you back?" She pushed his shirt up, ignoring their settings. She was going to scold him later for being careless. "I'm going to put an ointment on it and then I am going to put some bandages on it, okay?" She said as she pulled out a small bottle of salve and starts to gently apply it, using magic to wipe away the blood. "My teacher's name was Melara and she died after I finished my training. When I left the court, I went looking for you. I followed your trail, doing whatever work I could find and not all of it legal. One day I stumbled into one of their safe houses after a particularly bad run-in with a gang. They took me in and I finished off my training. I realized that Ryu was more important so I came here, to rid this place of the darkness." She prattled on as she tended his wound, absently ripping the hem off her skirt to act as a bandage. "There," she said putting the final knot in. "All better. You need more blood but I don't know how you take it, from victims or normal replenishment."
