[ He looks concerned still, but he's not about to listen to her. Instead, he just pins down her human arm, not worried about the one that can hardly move, and decides to just cast like this. ]
This time, she sleeps right through midnight. Though she stays out cold, the end of the curse is made obvious when the blastia arm disappears, her normal one in its place.]
Seeing her arm return to normal, he breathes a sigh of relief. She's herself again... He stands up just to turn off the light before returning to laying beside her. He knows being woken up with a spell isn't at all pleasant. ]
If only they'd been in a better spot when Tyr had been cursed, she could have let him sleep, too. As it is, she probably sleeps for another hour or so before she starts to stir, slowly.]
Hearing her call out, he sits down beside her just as fast. ]
I'm right here- Relax, Rita...
[ She's not cursed, so he doesn't have to worry... Or he hopes she isn't cursed again with something else. But right now, he wants to be there for her. ]
He even healed himself after healing her, though the soreness is still there to a degree. But he doesn't even care about himself when she looks and sounds like this. His eyes are wide in both worry, but he reaches out to hold her shoulders too. ]
I'm fine. I'm okay now... Don't worry about me...
[ Though he wants to sound soothing, he can't help but sound scared. ]
She realizes she must be worrying him, and she feels guilty--for everything, even though she knows it was the curse, like when he was cursed. But nothing can erase the fact that she remembers what she was doing, what she was going to do. Tyr...]
I tried to--I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[Here, she wants to hug him, so she's just going to do that right now.]
He wraps his arms back around her instantly, holding her tightly to him. He didn't want to let her hurt him when he knows she's still hurt by when she hurt Estelle and Natalia, but...he couldn't bring himself to go all out on her, either... ]
You don't need to say that. You didn't do anything, Rita... [ He holds the back of her head against his shoulder. He's not going to let her feel guilty. ]
