[Luckily the damage wasn't more serious than that. Posed over her in the snow, to Rin, Sakura's agonized screams and convulsions had seem to stretch in slow motion. In reality, she realizes it was probably but a matter of seconds.
If it had been longer, had the worms done more, Rin's not certain the healing spells at her disposal would be enough. Watching the lines of Sakura's face relax comes as a relief to her, a reassurance that's not the case.
It doesn't make her breathe easier, though there is a sad smile on her face in its place. Proud of the outcome maybe, or relieved. She knew it would work, of course, just as surely as her heart echoes the sentiment of Zaveid's words.
Quiet hangs heavy in the air, Rin's expression unchanging.]
...It was unavoidable.
[Yeah, thinking back on it, there was no better outcome.]
If anything, one of us should be dead.
[A statement like that just invites more questions, but she probably owes answers to Zaveid by this point anyways if he chooses to ask that much.
Gently, Rin lowers Sakura back down to the bed, smoothing the hair from her forehead to reapply the cool cloth.]
