Ashley looked at her, his eyes still watering.

"But.... B-but..." he stammered and hiccupped.

"Look... L-look at your arm." he said.

"It's b-burned r-really b-badly." he stammered further.

"You... you said you're n-not hurt... b-but won't that b-be trouble?" he asked her.

"M-my flames are supposed to be r-really dangerous..."

"....I had a bad dream when I slept." Ashley replied.

"Mistress... mistress found me." he said.

"She came looking for me." he went on.

"She found you and me, and she took you, and said you would suffer, and said it was my fault, and-and-and-" he continued, but he couldn't say any more.

It just devolved into him sobbing.

Ashley continued to cry and sob for a few more seconds, before he latched onto her.

"I'm sorry..." he said quietly.

"I'll find a way to fix the burn." he told her.

"I'll make it go away." he said further.

"Just... just please don't be mad." he begged.

"I'll do whatever I can to make up for it."

"......." Ashley was silent as Reveka asked her question.

"...she's not here, right?" he asked.

"We're alone?" he asked further.

"We are." Reveka replied.

"Then I'll be ok. For now." he told her.

In his mind, though, he was still filled with guilt over what he had just done.

"We... we should fix the burn." he said.

"I was told my flames can hurt a soul." he told her. "Or... something like that. Maybe it was something else. I don't know." he admitted.

"....Blue Aloe." Ashley responded.

"Blue Aloe and Diamond Mint." he said.

"Mix them and put them on the burn. It should go away." he told her.

"Do you have them?" he asked.

"Or... do you know where to GET them?"

"I'll go and get them." Ashley said, rising to his feet.

"They need to be applied a soon as possible." he told her.

"And we only need a little bit of the mind." he then said.

"The aloe is the big one." he went on, seeming like this had been something that had been drilled into his mind.

"I'll be right back!" he finished, before quickly running in the direction she had told him.

After about 20 minutes, she heard Ashley returning hastily. He had a small handful of the mint, and quite a bit of the aloe. He ran over towards where she was, and set the plants down in front of her. He then looked around, before pulling some long, flat weeds out from the pond water that they were close to.

"All right." he said.

"I need to do this quickly." he muttered.

"Can you hold the arm out, burn up, please?" he asked her.

Ashley took the mint and shredded it into tiny pieces, which he spread out over the wound. Once he did so, he took the Blue Aloe leaves, and squeezed them as hard as he could, causing a clear viscous liquid to drip out, over the mint. Once they were all covered, and the bun coated, he wrapped the weed around her arm, bandaging it.

"There." he said.

"That should do it." he said further.

"Keep it like that for about 24 hours. The burn should go away by then."

"....sorry again." Ashley then apologized.

"I mean... I know you said you can't die and all, but the soul thing is something I don't know about." he told her.

"I can't remember exactly what I was told, just that my mana's bad for people's souls." he went on.

"So... I figured it'd be best to treat it quickly, lest something really bad happens." he then reasoned.

"But... that... that should do it."

".....I don't think I can sleep." Ashley amitted.

"Just... no." he said.

"I'm scared if I try, I'll see the nightmare again." he admitted further.

"So... maybe just food." he sighed.

"What are you thinking?" he then asked her.
