[ The chocobo continues to peer at her in some concern. It's a sort of stalemate until she props herself up on her elbows to get a better look at him. And then the chocobo reaches down and pokes at her side - the area where earlier Blizzard spell had been most concentrated - with its beak. Futaba flinches. ]

Ow, hey! I thought that got healed!

[ Sitting up properly, she surreptitiously lifts the collar of her shirt slightly to peer down towards where he's poking and. Well. She glances back up again. ]

You know I heard somewhere that frostbite bruises when it thaws. Never actually seen it before, though...

[ Guess it didn't heal all the way? Or maybe there was some amount of lingering injury even after it got healed? Come to think of it she's probably gonna have to ask Ren and Makoto how they dealt with all this kind of stuff now. The injuries and whatnot. Ugh she does not like being targetable.

That being said, the chocobo does not seem satisfied now that she's aware of the lingering injury. Instead he's now inspecting every inch and - to nail home where this is going - starts preening her hair. ]

Wh- hey! What are you doing!?
