Less training, and more of a test, really. And heh, you and Rufus finally agree on something. Like I told him, though, its really not that bad. I should be more or less up to speed by tomorrow, and good as new by Thursday or Friday.

And never fear, I plan on lazing about in bed as much as possible today. I still feel a bit like a giant walking bruise.

The Cure spells we use speed up the body's own healing process. A powerful spell combined with a powerful gift can heal in minutes - but you have to be skilled to keep the new bone from growing in weaker, when you go that fast. In all likelihood, that's why it broke - Elena and I were captured and tortured about four months ago, and we didn't have time to find someone trained as a healer, or to let the damage heal slower. I have it splinted right now.

And believe me, I plan on it.

The ends have joined, although a good hit would snap it again.

And...this is another point where our experiences differ vastly. This was not the first time for me, merely the worst.

I've had to have bones reset before - believe me, I will be.
