Nakama's on a mission. A very cut up, bruised, aching mission.

No, it's not fighting or weapons this time. She's brought so much drama and sadness into Roxas's life lately, and they may have plans for fun times later, but she feels like this needs more. A gesture like the ice cream on the roof, something bigger that's all her.

So she's dipped into her savings and bought herself a skateboard, and the plan was to expand on his one brief lesson until she was good enough to go out riding with him. Unfortunately, that first lesson didn't go very well, and she doesn't know anything about skateboarding other than that. So she's careening around the city, arms waving wildly to keep her balance and legs occasionally flying out from under her and sending her sprawling onto the pavement. But like the thousands of needles she took to her fingertips while learning to sew, she barely feels any injuries left behind.

If you find her early in the day, she'll look alright; later in the day, there'll be a large tear in the left knee of her jeans with a bloody knee beneath, and a limping gait that suggests more bruises and wounds under her clothes. Heck, you might even meet her halfway and have to leap out of the way. It's hard to say!

Make your choice, but choose carefully.

"I didn't - !" She starts to yell, but that makes her head hurt; resting a hand on her forehead, she speaks more quietly. "I didn't expect it to be that hard. But I'll ask for help next time."

She shakes her head. She still disagrees, of course-- she thinks it should've been obvious after the first hundred scrapes and scratches-- but now isn't the time to argue about that.

"Okay. Next time," she says, conciliatory.

The eight-legged horses move fast, and they're soon at the hospital. Nakama's lifted out of the cart on a stretcher and quickly whisked into the building, where a doctor and two healers appear to follow her to a room. It seems that they won't allow Yukari to see her until she's healed, so she sits up a little and calls out, waving her hand wildly.

"Thank you, Yukari...!"

"Take care, Nakama-chan!" she calls back. For a while she wonders about how all of that is going to go, but eventually she figured there's nothing much she can do anymore. Anyway, it wasn't a serious thing really. Geez, Nakama...
