Nori smiles, pulling the blankets around Auretta, and starting to doze off himself. He looks up at at Corrin, shocked, then shrugs and looks back at Auretta

Auretta stirs as she slowly wakes. “H-Huh???”

Nori blushes, and stops touching her. "Oh, uh, h-hey."

Auretta rubs her eyes. “W-What’s going on?” she looks around, confused and a bit tired.

Nori pulls the blanket over her more, sighing. "You… I dunno. You just seemed hurt or something, and then you just passed out. We decided you probably needed some rest." He says softly

“Ah-“ Auretta blinks in realization. “Well…I still kinda hurt but…” she sighs, “It’s not as bad…” she mutters, snuggling the blanket.

Val walks over to the tent. "You good?"

Nori tugs a the blanket, looking down. "Do-do you know why you hurt? What even happened?" He looks up at Val and shrugs.

Auretta nods, holding the blanket close to herself. “Y-Yeah…I’m a bit better…” she mumbles to answer Val before shaking her head. “I-I don’t know why that happened…t-this isn’t the first time it’s happened either…” she sighs.

"When did it happen before?" Val asks, kneeling in front of Auretta.

Auretta looks down at the floor. “I…I don’t really remember all the details but…” she sighs, snuggling the blanket as she tries to hide her face. “I-It happened the same day Spark lost her arm…w-we were fighting a creature and…and I think I blacked out…”

Val looks concerned. "So… it's been a thing for a while now?"

Nori feels her forehead, then touches her neck for a pulse. "Do you feel dizzy or lightheaded before it happens? Does anything hurt?"

Auretta nods, hiding her face even more. “Y-Yeah…I-I don’t know what could have caused it, though…” she whimpers. “I-I tend to feel dizzy, y-yeah…and my head hurts…”

Nori sighs, moving her hands so he can see her face. "I mean, I have a few guesses on what it could be, but… but I don't really know." He sighs. "When you were fighting the creature… did you feel panicked?"

Auretta nods weakly. “I-I was terrified…e-especially after what I saw it do to Spark…” she whimpers. “I-I was scared that I was n-next…”

Val looks at Nori knowingly, then back to Auretta.

Nori strokes her hair, something he did to help calm Ari down. "Hey, hey its okay. Just close your eyes for a minute." He inhales sharply, then closes his eyes as well. "Listen, I-I've had anxiety my whole life. Maybe it's because My brain was fucked around with and im naturally paranoid, but I have it. And I'll get panic attacks a lot." He sighs, the stroking more a comfort to him now. "When my dad told me about this contract, that I would have to leave home and live somewhere else for god knows how long, I shut down. I couldn't think of anything else but all the bad things that could happen to me and Ari. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't even breathe at some points," He chuckles. "And that wasn't even the worst of it. I mean, I-I could be wrong.. It could be something else, but what happened to you might be that." He looks down. "Sorry, I kind of vented for a minute."

Val nods, having been thinking exactly that. Except, my panic attacks destroy mountains…

Auretta hugs Nori tightly. “I-It’s okay…” she mumbles, shutting her eyes gently. “I-I just…it might be that…maybe it might be something else…m-maybe it’s both…” she sighs. “I-I don’t know…” she tightens her grip on him, whimpering. “I-I’m scared, Nori-“

I’m so scared…someone please help me…make it stop… she thinks, snuggling her face in her friend’s shoulder.

Val hears Auretta's mental pleas and sighs. Worry not, little one… she says telepathically to Auretta, altering the voice to sound more msytical, and lighter. I shall help… The pain that had been besieging Auretta so constantly is whisked away, her mind cleared of the ill effects seeing her friends arm ripped off had. It shall be alright, little wing… and the voice fades away. Val staggers a little from the efforts of doing all that, but quickly recovers.

Auretta soon calms down, going silent as she clings to Nori. “Mm…” she mumbles, wiping her tears away with her wrist.

Val looks to Auretta. "I- I heard the voice. Are you okay?"

Auretta shakes her head. “N-Not really…” she mumbles.

"Okay… do you want to talk about it?" Val asks, sitting down.
