"Them again...", Lea growled. "I caught them bullying her once before and chased them off, but this is way beyond schoolyard bullying. It's straight up criminal, and I'm gonna report them to the authorities. This has gone way too far."

"But you're right; we need to get her medical attention first," he said. "Go ask the store owner where the nearest healer is who can handle something like this. And while you're at it, see if she'd be willing to back us up as a witness against those guys." The shop's owner was an older woman so Lea didn't blame her for not intervening more directly, but she had to have seen something at least. "I'll stay here with Xion."

To Xion he said, "Isa's right. You didn't do anything wrong; they did. And we're gonna try and take care of it. You just stay still for now til we can find a healer, alright?"
