That was... Well, I was trying to help. [She sounds just as confused as he is, although with an extra large helping of guilt. She's not hurt, just startled, but she's pretty sure she did hurt him.] It was supposed to be, you know, healing? Like magic? It didn't do that before.

[She bites down on her lip, trying to think of a reason the power would react like that. Admittedly, she's not exactly an expert in it yet, but it really hadn't done anything like that the first time. And he does look better! So it has to have worked at least a little bit. So then what...

Could it be something beyond what she can heal? But why would that hurt him? Why wouldn't it just pretend whatever it was wasn't there, like with Harper's... right. Like that.]

Can I maybe take a look at your back? I won't try the spell again. Promise.
