While Rylee was away there was a lot to think about now finally having some time alone, after all that's happened she simply couldn't get the opportunity to properly process everything. First though she had to focus on her actual task, while not specifically trained to treat injuries it was standard fair for a constable to be knowledgeable in the bare minimum. Once her sleeve was rolled up it became clear the gash wasn't too harsh, nothing too deep or long, without wasting anymore time she got to work. During this time though Rylee's mind drifted else where, really it was almost too real that just within the last hour she met an old friend, got into a fight with deadly intent, discovered his identity and then the same man pledged to stay by her side. Again it was too painfully obvious Kiori was morphed into someone else during his time with the Assassin's Guild, the boy she once knew was warm, friendly, and extremely talkative, not this solemn assassin just in the other room. Rylee didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't help not nearly feeling the same level of friendship towards him anymore, if anything she somewhat feared him...

With one last tug, Rylee tucked the end of the piece of bandaging underneath the last layer. Looking over her handiwork she was satisfied, the bleeding should stop properly within a day, especially due to some assistance from the herbs, of course her undershirt was still dyed red yet that didn't seem to matter to her. Coming back to Kiori she got straight back to menial labor, although after a minute or so she started to notice the silence between them, as kids this would've never happened least to say it was unsettling. After a wile longer Rylee considered an attempt at breaking the ice, until Kiori of all people took the initiative. He was clearly trying to be friendly, actually to spark a conversation, even if it was small talk Rylee couldn't suppress a wide grin.

Rylee stopped whatever she was doing to turn towards Kiori, "Funny seeing as we never drank, except for that one time when you swiped some ale, guh... why did you choose that for our first drink anyway? It did not go down smooth at all, hell I remember hacking up a storm..." Hopefully he remembered this, what would it say about their friendship if either of them didn't recall it, still she kept going, part of her assumed Kiori wouldn't be doing much talking himself. "Ah oh well all the same if you really want to know what I drink today, well... I don't drink actually, not on a constable's salary, but looking back ale couldn't have been all that bad, what say you Koi?"
