"She is a LOT more than she seems to be." Sharp confirmed.

He then proceeded to give Levi and Ally what they needed.

"Salve first, then powder, then wrap." he told them. "Keep the feet bandaged until you take a shower or bath. Refresh them afterwards." he finished.

"Got it." Levi replied.

"Good." Sharp responded, before calmly leaving the room, vanishing in a puff of smoke when he did.

"......" Sharp was silent for a moment, and sighed.

"I doubt it." he replied.

"Not with the way you currently are." he added, somewhat cryptically.

"....you mean her feet?" Levi asked.

"Among other things." Sharp responded. "And no, I don't have time to elaborate."

Sharp's face was unreadable for a moment... and then his face paled.

Drastically.

".....no..." he said in a hushed tone.

"No... no, no, it... it can't be..." he said further.

However, the woman's tone and expression showed that this was not a lie.

".....DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" Sharp then cursed loudly, turning and slamming his fist into the closest wall.

"Ah..." Sharp muttered.

"Well, I was currently about to help this young lady with her little foot issue." he told her, gesturing to Ally.

"But... if this is urgent, then please... do not hesitate to inform me of what is going on." he told her further, before looking at Ally and Levi.

"If this is sensitive information, then would you be all right with my giving you the salve and bandages, and you help yourselves?" he asked.

Just as Sharp was about to get the supplies, they heard the knock on the door.

"...eh?" he muttered.

"Who...?" he wondered, but he could feel an immense presence behind the door.

"....come in!" he called to them.

"Apologies, but I have a feeling this is important." he told Levi and Ally.

Sharp was stunned to hear all he did.

"...excuse me?" he asked.

He then growled, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Great... just... this is fantastic." he snarled.

"Right, well, first things first." he then said.

"Your feet need to be tended to, and while I am not a medic, I DO have some things here that will help." he informed Ally.

"And then I'm going to find out JUST what's going on with Angela." he added.

"....I... see." Levi muttered.

"Well, I-" he started to say, before they were beckoned in.

They made their way in, with Levi helping Ally slightly, and when they stepped inside and sat down, Sharp was immediately looking at Ally's feet.

"...hm." he muttered.

"I assume you've come to me about those feet?" he asked her, wondering why it was HIM being visited for such.

Levi had noticed that she had taken her sweater off, and was using it to stem the flow of blood from her feet.

"......" he was silent, and bit his lip.

"I..." he stammered.

"You're bleeding. Badly." he told her. "And your footprints leave a temporary echo wherever you step, I've noticed." he commented further.

"Was that... my fault?" he asked her.

"Did I cause that?" he asked guiltily.

"........" Levi was silent as he saw Ally wince upon touching the floor with her feet.

"I'm coming with you." he said.

"I'd rather not be alone." he told her.

'And I'm worried about your feet...' he added mentally.

"Come on, let's go then." he finished.

"Hmph. You're lucky you didn't die, you know that right?" Ally's 'partner' asked her.

Levi froze when she said that last part, and his face turned red for a moment.

"Ah, I, uh-" he stuttered, before shaking his head vigorously.

"Eh-heh..." he chuckled.

"...wait..." he then mumbled.

"Who?" he asked. "Who's this 'Ash'?"

"Huh?" Levi muttered.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

He then sat up once more, and looked around, before he noticed a door leading to a small bathroom. He got out of bed and made his way into the room, and there was silence for a moment.

"....what the!?" she then heard, before he came rushing back out.

"My... my eye..." he stammered.

".....no, not really." Levi replied.

"I feel fine." he told her.

"Like... better than ever." he said further.

He then looked right at her, their eyes meeting, and Ally truly noticed that something was... different about Levi.

He normally had light blue eyes, but one of them was different. It was a deep purple colour, but it was just that one iris in his right eye. Beyond that, nothing was different.

"..." Aly was silent for a moment, before returning the kiss.

"All right." she replied.

"I think I understand." she told him.

"It sounds very confusing and concerning, but... I trust you." she then said with a smile.

"And I trust Ryker as well."

"......" Levi was silent for a moment, before exhaling slowly.

"Good." he said.

"Just... good." he muttered.

He then laid back down, letting his head hit the pillow beneath him, and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds.

"...I'm glad." he said to Ally.

"But... I have this vague feeling that I DID hurt you..." he mumbled further, guilt in his tone.
