A Mother's Gift(s)

1. [If you're chilling out in the women's section of the showers at some point, you might see Yui examining herself. Her back, in particular.]

They're gone...? I suppose I have been here a while...

[Unlike some loafers, Yui is at least keeping up with studies while on board the chalice. And today, she's reading a history book.]

No...No, they aren't. Now that I'm here I don't have to worry about getting any more of them, either...Earlier, I was checking to see how some bruises I had when I arrived were doing, and...well, they're gone.

It seems you've taken a few knocks as well.

[Jukai opens her mouth, righteous anger blazing... and then stops, and lets her mouth click shut.] I... I shouldn't ask. If you want to tell me, I'll listen, but I'm not going to pry any more than I have. I'm glad the bruises are gone, though.

[At mention of herself, she just laughs hollowly, putting a hand over a particularly large score across her stomach.] Legacy of a misspent life, I guess. You'd be surprised how much the gangs get after you if you oppose their "protection" details too much. Or if you take back things that aren't theirs. Or if you pick fights to protect people that are just in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Ah...yes. My injuries were not nearly so...heroic in nature.

...It would have been nice to have someone like you around.

[hero_signal]

Well... [She doesn't seem to have a response to that.] ...I'm sorry to hear that.

[Jukai does, however, go red all at once at the second comment.] I, uh, well, I can't be everywhere, right? I wish I could, but I had my hands full with just my city.
