[let's go find gerard!]

Gerard! We're here to heal your back pain!

[dendroculi]

[nahida is here, looking very concerned. she is convinced that gerard has back pain.]

[frogzoned]

[ what is happening ]

My ... back pain?

[ HE IS SO CONFUSED ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[nodding seriously.]

She has healing magicks. Let's get you free of that back pain, buddy.

[dendroculi]

[she looks between the two of them.]

She said she was getting supplies to help with it, so I thought my psych might be of use...?

[frogzoned]

I don't-- I never said I had back pain did I? I don't have back pain. Why would I have back pain?!

[ hes going through it. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm pretty sure you've mentioned back pain before? [she's thinking.] Maybe it's because you just seem like you're in pain.

Nahida, you weren't there that time Gerard fought a very skilled fish warrior and didn't even once complain about how much back pain he was in.

[dendroculi]

A... fish warrior?

[she wrinkles her nose a little at that and looks a bit uncertain.]

Um...

[...she's starting to think maybe she misunderstood something when she was talking to ylfa before. oh dear.]

[frogzoned]

[ STOP THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY ]

Don't - You don't have to bring that up!

[ ... ]

And I handily won that part of the fight! It isn't even relevant right now because I did not have back pain! Or any pain.

[ well. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she looks like she's reassessing her memories of that fight realizing gerard wasn't dealing with incredible back pain during it.]

...Well. Do you have any pains you need healed?

[dendroculi]

None at all? Even if it's minor, I'd be glad to help if I can.

[the more used to using these psychs they all get, the better, she thinks.]

[frogzoned]

[ it really would be the only reasonable explanation for the way that fight went down, but no. no terrible back pain. ]

I really do not think it is anything physical that can be helped.

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh.

[whispering to nahida - ]

He's feeling sensitive about being a frog.

[dendroculi]

Oh...

[she whispers back - ]

Is it really so bad to be a frog? Frogs are cute.

[frogzoned]

[ he can hear this he is standing right here ]

You should explain that to the people who's first instinct is to scream when they see my visage ...

[honkinbigteeth]

[poor gerard.]

She says you're cute, Gerard! Not everyone wants to scream when they look at you!

[dendroculi]

Other people need to broaden their horizons. There isn't anything wrong with frogs.

Though I could understand if they screamed when coming face to face with a Spinocrocodile...

[frogzoned]

[ this all feels so condescending to have two babies tell him that frogs are cute. are they. are they. ]

Fortunately I am not a ... whatever that is. Just a frog. Either way, cute is not a top priority of mine.

[honkinbigteeth]

You don't have to want to be cute to be cute.

[dendroculi]

Hehe.

[im still losing it at them both assuming he has back pain]

...well, I'm glad you're not in pain, at any rate.

[frogzoned]

Cute is not-- No. I would not like to be cute.

[ ex wives don't like cute ]

And as I said I don't have any back pain! So no healing necessary. You'll need to find someone else who has a skinned knee or something.

[honkinbigteeth]

You don't want to be cute for Elody? You know she likes cute little frogs!

[dendroculi]

...

[nahida wonders if she's supposed to be listening to this, actually]

[frogzoned]

[ ylfa is now recruiting more children into this very terrible parent trap situation ]

You know what? Yes. I am having back pain. Can we try the thing for back pain? We should do that.

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh no! Gerard, your back pain!

[she's distracted so easily.]

[dendroculi]

[...he's probably just changing the subject, nahida thinks, but she'll play along.

so! out comes her phone. she pulls up the camera, then taps it so it goes into selfie mode, and then lifts it up so that she's taking a selfie with gerard in the backrgound.

when she snaps the picture, her eyes, the leaf in her hair, and the green detailing on her outfit all glow. in the selfie, it's all glowing - and any injuries he had will be in the selfie as well. physically, on him, he'll feel any aches, pains, or minor injuries fade away or heal up.]

...there, did that help?

[frogzoned]

[ its all very magical and shiny and this doesn't particularly phase him as he's used to that sort of thing. unfortunately nothing glows on him in the selfie, he didn't have any back pain. what a liar! ]

Tremendously! Excellent job. Healing! A wonderful skill.
