(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[As if Killua wouldn't pick up on that hesitation. He narrows his eyes slightly.]

Are you worried it won't work? Or that it'll cost them more energy that they don't have?

[Healers here are somewhat limited, he's noticed, and even if the personas are still a mystery to him, he figures the personas must be drawing their energy from who they're paired up with. It's the only reason he can think of that would make Terry hesitate like this.]

[overstrain]

It actually didn't work.

[ Might as well give it to him straight. ]

She's the strongest healer I know too... and it didn't work. If it did, well... I wouldn't be here.

[Instead of taking the seat again, Killua just crouches down beside the cats this time, giving up on any pretense that he isn't interested in petting them.]

It could be a compatibility issue. [He muses quietly, puzzling over this.] You said your heart got crushed--normally that would be a fatal injury. Something like that might've been beyond the persona's healing ability.

[overstrain]

[ Yes, the cats really like the attention that Killua is giving them now. Some of them purr and playfully paws at his hand too. ]

But even so, shouldn't it at least reform somewhat? Even if it's a slow healing process, shouldn't it be healing something? I couldn't feel anything coming back when the attempt was made.

[ It's so different from the healing magic he's used to, so he has an issue of understanding how stuff isn't compatible. ]

[evoltlution]

There's a lot of factors that could've kept it from working.

[Though he's still playing with the kittens, Terry still has most of his attention and it's obvious he's taking this seriously.]

You've been healed by a persona before this, right?

[overstrain]

I... I think so. I was coughing blood one time and I got a bunch of small healing spells thrown my way. I've been healed by normal means and other magic before too. It doesn't really feel all that different from magic.

[ So he doesn't think they're the same thing. ]

Though both felt warm...

[evoltlution]

Well, if they worked before, then it sounds like it was that situation that didn't line up somewhere.

[He smiles, just a bit wryly.] Usually this is where I'd suggest experimenting to find out what that something is, but....you know. That'd be pretty unpleasant.

[How morbid...]

[overstrain]

[ Terry can't even fake a laugh at that comment. He looks like he's lightheaded with all the endurance chipping away and letting the morphine in his system fully take over so Terry ends up passing out on the bed.

Good job Killua.

Good job. LOL ]

[RIP Terry... He'll at least make sure the cats have some food and water to last a bit of time before he leaves the guy to rest.]
