"Scrch" (S)
Urgh.
Guess I'm back.
I think I had quite the wild dream, at least the scraps I still rember.
On the other hand, this mud tub is really effective.
Like my mind was screaming while my body was totally relaxed.
Though, I'd rather say that my mind was in the right.
After all, yesterday...
Shit, shit, shit, shit!
It's all coming back now!
My legs!
I can't see them below the surface, and it's a bit difficult to shift out of it.
Also, I'm a little afraid to move them too roughly after I broke them yesterday.
Though, I've heard from Allie that these mud tubs can heal one really well.
So maybe they fixed them already?
Carefully, I sit up and use my arms to lift my right leg out of the mud.
Just good that this stuff doesn't cling, or it would be hard to see anything.
So I get it out...
It's still twisted.
The kneeplate actually looks even worse, with it now all the way on the back from where it belongs.
Shouldn't it have healed?
Yet it doesn't quite hurt.
It's only stiff.
Did it grow back together wrong?
Oh, please no!
I, I don't know what I'd do with crippled legs.
Coming from the feeling the left one is the sa.
I can't bend them at all anymore!
At least, not back?
Only a bit forward.
Or... rather a lot?
Ehm, is it normal that I can touch my hip with my toes?
O-oh damn, I bent it all the way together.
Just on the wrong side!
C-can it go back?
Y-yes, it can.
It doesn't even hurt.
Already the stiffness is going away.
Is my other one..?
That one too!
How is this possible?
Huh, were my feet always this flat?
And the middle part feels strange.
D-doesn't matter.
If my legs aren't broken, this must an I can stand up.
I feel far better than yesterday, so this should be possible, right?
Okay, just be careful.
I only have to put my hands on the sides of the tub and lever myself up.
"Scritsh"
... Shit, what just happened?!
What is with my hands now?!
Since when do I have claws?!
Yesterday, I had pointy black weird nails, but just now they pushed out and now I got huge claws that jut out at an additional half a finger's length.
They look... sharp.
Really sharp.
Which kinda gets supported by how they dig straight through the tub.
N-no.
Focus.
I want to get out here.
Just, just bend my weird legs over the border.
Huh, that's actually not quite as difficult if I can fold them forward.
Now just extend them again on the other side, so I can regain my footing.
Got one, okay, now the other.
Whoah!
What's with my foot?!
It wobbles weirdly on the ground.
At least the front part.
That one seems a bit loose from the rest.
Wait, if I'd just put my weight there...
Yes, that works!
I can just stand on my toes!
Or rather the platform right behind them.
It's still a bit wobbly, but it works.
So far so good.
Suddenly, my head snaps to the entrance.
So hard that it almost throws off balance.
Soone is coming!
I can sense it!
Feel it!
(H)
She holds it steady, and I try to do as she says.
"Scsh"
Promptly, the black pointy parts that jutted out so prominently retreat considerably back into each of my fingers.
"Scruah!" (S)
That's kinda cool.
At least, they're now more manageable at this length.
What even would I need them this big for in daily life?
Climbing?
While I’m still wondering about my hands, we head out.
True to her words, after the first few steps, my gait becos a bit more secure.
Especially, if I bend down on my legs a bit while walking.
Might look a bit odd, but I'll fix my stance once I got walking completely down.
Once we exit this place, there's the princess' assistant.
