Mia’s gonna be back today! A spring in her step as she scurried around the apartment which she shared with what seemed to be half of Liggs these days, with a giddy feeling Aela Heartfire dashed around the living room and stuffed anything and everything that seemed out of place into a new home. Acting like a maid, though not a very good one, the green eyed girl had been busily tidying up Mia Kerney’s home ever since she had heard that the blonde beauty was coming home, and wanted the place to look its best for when she did.
They said she got hurt pretty badly, so this time I can look after her! It seeming like an eternity since the last time that the Gym Leader had been home, whilst Aela didn’t fully understand the injuries that her modern day mentor had suffered, she was willing to do whatever she could to look after the other woman. Remembering those days when she herself had been fresh to the world and in need of looking after, Mia had been the rock on which Miss Heartfire could lean upon as she adjusted to the roughly ten thousand year difference between her home and where she had ended up, teaching her English and how to look after herself. The domestication something of a work in progress, the blonde had never given up on the still slightly savage looking woman, and now it was time to return the favour.
I’ve really missed her too! I wonder what this hospital place is like? Shoving things into drawers that had no way of fitting into them, as the former cavewoman grunted and the wood she battle with groaned against her, she thought of all the time she had spent waiting for her friend to come home. Told that she was too ‘energetic and wild’ to go where Mia had been staying, while Miss Heartfire had been disappointed that she couldn’t visit she had instead chose to focus on the return of the blonde rather than her own melancholy.
Doing what she could to better master the aspects of the modern life that her blonde buddy might need, Aela reckoned that she had gotten pretty good at doing the washing in the sink, which was especially useful when the machine for such purpose was practically unfathomable now. Also capable of cleaning the pots, she only broke one or two now, so that was certainly progress, right? All in all shaping up to be quite the domestic goddess, or as close to one as someone who had lived as a primal savage could be, Miss Heartfire was looking forward to what Mia might say when she got home. Surely she’d be impressed, right?

Mia stared out the window as she rode home in her Dad's pick up truck. Usually she liked to ride on the open back cargo space, but her family had insisted she take the passanger seat. They knew she was still more sensitive than she'd like to admit, and while human medicine was starting to catch up to pokemon technology, she still had a few sore stitches from some of the larger wounds she'd suffered. Without a prosphetic ready her stump was just wrapped up in the arm of her jacket, making sure the loose, now empty sleeve didn't get in her way. "You alright there luv?" Snapping out of her day dream, still lightly dazed by the pain killers the hospital had given her, she took a second to register what had even been said, her mouth hanging agape as an "uuuuh" left her mouth before it finally registered. "Oh er...yeah...yeah I'm good Dad just...wanna get home to the pokemon..." The older man smiling through his beard, he pulled the car round the corner and pulled up outside Mia's house, not unlocking the doors yet just to have a last word with her daughter. "You know me and your ma' are more than happy to keep an eye on you till you're better right?" Mia briefly considered this, as she did each time it was offered...but she felt weak enough as is with how easy mewtwo had taken her down, she didn't need her Mom doting on her, making her feel like she couldn't do anything besides lie in her own bed..."I'll be fine Dad...I got a tonne of pokemon with apposable thumbs, I'm sure I can lean on them if I need to." The two shared a brief, quiet moment before leaning into one another for a squeezing hug, Mia wincing a little as her right bicep naturally tightened as though she was trying to squeeze her dad with the arm she didn't have anymore. Reaching for the car door, she hopped out and made sure to wave her Dad goodbye, waiting for his cart to turn around the corner before turning to the backdoor of her gym, basically the front door of her home, pulling her keys out of her pocket and easing the door open with a rather awkward push, taking in the state of her home as she stepped inside. "...Not gonna lie...was expecting to come home to worse..."

She’s back! Even the subtle and almost silent click of the front door making Aela jolt as she scrubbed plates in cold but soapy water, with a jump the girl dropped the item back into the bowl and bounded toward the entrance to her adopted home. Dressed in a dark blue sports bra and wearing a fur skirt around her waist, the wavy black hair of Miss Hearfire bobbed up and down as she skipped toward where she would find her friend, her locks hanging in an overgrown and untidy fashion because she had been more concerned with tidying the apartment than she had been herself. Looking a little bit wild but filled with energy, the barbarian beauty skidded as she slipped across the floor on her bare feet before finally reaching the blonde whom she sought.
“WELCOME HOME MI- Ah?” Leaping into the air and grinning like a cheshire cat as she clapped eyes on that familiar golden fleece atop the head of the Liggs gym leader, while her greeting began with all the gusto of an overly eager pet, as Aela looked her friend over and found something lacking even mid-word she found her upbeat enthusiasm running out. A child passing through the spine of the the semi-domesticated savage as she saw that the ‘hurt’ of her hearty fellow heroine had apparently fallen worst onto her right arm, the mouth of Miss Heartfire hung low as she caught her first glimpse of what had happened to her mighty mentor.
“H-Huh?” Blinking in surprise at what she saw and left rather bewildered by the injury, the panic that she felt at seeing such a severe injury was by no means subtle, but then nothing about this coffee skinned cavewoman ever was. The gravity of the situation suddenly dropping on Aela like a ton of bricks, like a deer caught in the headlights all that she could do was stare at that incomplete arm without a clue what to do or say…

Hearing the energetic little cavegirl bound around the corner, Mia managed just a small smirk as she came around. The girl hadn't been entirely alone the week or two she'd been in the hospital, what with Mia's siblings probably stepping in to check on her now and then, but it was nice to see that all the same she still had someone beyond her pokemon or Vesta excited to see her home, opening her mouth to give a tired, but cheery greeting of her own when the tension between the two skyrocketed with Aela's aghast staring, Mia taking a second to realize no one seemed to have prepped her for what walked in the door.
She...felt like some freak show with that look
"...Er...Yeah this is...yeah." Not really sure how to explain this for the umpteenth time, Mia lightly lifted her stump out to the side, almost waving it about even to prove Aela's eyes weren't tricking her or anything, the knot of her sleeve jiggling a little at the end of her arm from the motion. "So...yeah..."
She'd let any awkward silence hang for a moment or so before letting out a heavy breath, patting Aela's shoulder as she moved past her to the kitchen. "I'm starving. Breakfast for dinner sound good?"

Wondering what she could say as the blonde before her also found her vocabulary surprisingly absent, Aela lifted her own right hand up and scratched the back of her head nervously, before suddenly getting the feeling she was showing off and pulling both her limbs behind her back. The guilt of her inability to deal with this situation suddenly flooding the usually so shameless girl, with a mix of a cough and a grunt Miss Heartfire forced her eyes away from what remained of Mia’s right arm and looked around the room, making some vain and obvious attempt to avoid staring.
“A-Any food is f-fine a-anytime!” The chocolate skinned lass looking back toward Mia as she spoke and having to force herself to not let her eye line drift back toward the arm, as she answered with an awkward stammer that would bely her discomfort, Aela looked toward the ground or anywhere rather than letting her vision focus on that would bely the feelings of guilt that were starting to overwhelm her. "Mia can have w-whatever she wants!" Wondering whether her presence in the mishap that had led to this loss might have prevented it, for a usually carefree girl Miss Heartfire shone with self-awareness and it showed painfully.
“I’ll get you s-some good food Mia!” The green eyed girl nodding so far forward that she practically broke into a series of bows at the request for food, while Aela wasn’t even sure if Mia meant to take to the task herself the skittish savage was already scurrying across the floor toward the kitchen. Not exactly an accomplished chef by any stretch of the imagination but having managed to master the frying pan enough so that not every part of the food she cooked was charcoal, more than anything Miss Heartfire just wanted to run away from the blonde at the moment.
I'm so sorry, Mia... Feeling guilty and foolish and her eyes stinging, as she broke into the kitchen the lodger found tears flowing down her cheeks for reasons she didn’t fully understand, but knew she had to hide them from Mia. The blonde beauty having enough on her plate without having to deal with the wild emotions of another, Aela had vowed earlier that she would take care of her friend and now that she had seen her, the dark damsel knew she would need it…

Mia had been heading to the kitchen to cook herself, knowing from the way she looked at her that the young cave woman was likely in some state of shock, and she herself just wanted...a sense of normalcy. Cooking breakfast, even at this time of day, sounded just mundane enough and time consuming enough for her to distract herself with, almost turning into the kitchen before Aela burst ahead of her, stepping after her as if to object but...
Her eyes lowered, Aela may have been hiding it but the way she stood was enough to show that this was bothering her far more than she was going to let on. The idea that a lost limb was a foreign concept to her didn't really register, so for now, Mia bit her tongue and turned away...the breakfast she wanted would likely be a little burnt, but if Aela insisted...well, Mia was just a little too tired to object, moving to the couch in the livingroom and falling into it, her face resting in a pillow, not even bothering to turn on the TV as she rested there in a half-aware state.

~the next morning~
“Mmmmnnnn…” A couple of the ‘sheets’ of fur that she usually wore as a skirt wrapped around her body as she lay with a limb in every direction, with a soft moan Aela Heartfire shifted from deep sleep and licked her lips, the lids of her eyes too heavy to open for the moment as she gave herself the chance to snooze while her mind steadily stirred back to life. Arms coiling around the pillows she had borrowed to rest her head on and pulling them into a cuddle like a little girl might cradle her teddy bear, the sleepy youngster squeezed the softness of these cushions with an expression of peace, her worries from recent times not quite occupying her mind in his short period of dozy delight.
Opening her eyes just fraction and looking through the narrow field of vision she was given, Aela peered around the living room in which her ‘bed’ was located, and her eye was drawn by something she hadn’t quite remembered would be there. Mia’s… Jacket? Spotting the shape of something draped over a chair and entirely too modern looking, in her sleepiness the girl had yet to remember that her mentor had returned home, having been used to having this space all to herself. Noticing this item of clothing making the heart of the young woman leap for just a second as she realized that her beloved blonde was back, the chocolate cavewoman sat upward with a sudden excitement and vigour but then found herself slumping as she remembered the night before.
Oh… The memory of an awkward evening previously rushing back into realization as Miss Heartfire slumped backward against the couch, what should have been a happy memory of her rough and tough friend’s return had twisted and turned into something that made her feel tense and awkward. Unable to really process the severity of the once so vibrant vixen’s new ailments and left rather out of sorts by it, the discomfort that Aela felt was sourced more from her own response than the horror of Mia’s injury and she felt guilty both for not being there to prevent it AND for also the inadequacies she had felt in dealing with it. Staring at the stump that had once been the blonde’s arm and then burning the food she asked for, the dark dish felt like she was already falling at every hurdle this new challenge provided and found a large part of her wishing that this was all just a bad dream she had woken from…

Mia's wake wasn't as slow and calm. Jolting up in her bed, the sense of not being held down by some cuff oddly foreign to her as she rose with more force than she intended to, a headrush not really helping her current mental state as she woke up from a hazy nightmare. She was aware enough of reality to know the difference, she didn't need reminding of the fact her arm was gone, but the pain she felt where it used to be felt like it was pulsing up her bicep, her neck and through her skull, gritting her teeth as she tried to calm down with slow, easing breaths.
"Haa...haaa...."
Her bed was a little damp from her own sweat and her clothes were even worse. Mia didn't feel like explaining this to vesta and kicked off her bed to strip the sheets, blindly tugging at them with her one arm till she had the bed clean of her little nightmare experience, dragging the damp sheets loosely behind her down the stairs.
"Morning Aela..."

Uncharacteristically lost in her imagination, as the blonde drew closer to the room and offered a greatting, Aela gave a small gasp and jumped as she found herself startled by her friend. “O-Oh! You up?” Spinning around on the spot and kneeling on the couch with her chest pressed into the back of it as she turned to see Mia, Aela felt her heart pounding for a few seconds thanks to the shock she had been given, responding more instinctively and shining a bright smile toward her companion that unfortunately melted away once she saw what her friend was doing.
“Mia, you OK?” Looking down at the sack-like bundle of bedsheets that blonde was dragging and blinking in confusion, for a second the cavegirl wondered what was going on before springing off the couch energetically. Dressed in little more than the sports bra and gym shorts she tended to wear to bed, Aela dashed over to mentor and reached for the bale she was pulling in an effort to help her.
“Aela can do this! Well, carry, but wash machine can be tricky?” Wrapping her fingers around the wad of bedding and trying to tug it toward her, the eager Miss Heartfire made an attempt to pry them away from the blonde. Not wanting to muscle Mia out of the task or stifle her independence at all, it was more a notion of Aela’s that she should be taking up the ‘slack’ around the house, though whether the woman opposite her felt the same way remained to be seen…

As mia trudged through the livingroom Aela was like background noise to her right now. SHe just wanted to push forward, wash her sheets, and get them back on the bed before Vesta could see she was having stupid sweaty nightmares. She only really noticed Aela fully when she felt the tugs on the sheets dragged behind her, and as one of her fingers slipped, she slammed the heel of her foot down hard, turning her eyes back to the chocolate skinned cavegirl with a harsh glare, enough to shoot even her potentially prideful, animal like nature down to the ground as the blonde made it clear without a word that she was not appreciative of what she was doing in the slightest.
"Aela. Down."
Maybe ordering her like a dog wasn't the nicest way to go about this, but Mia could still feel her heart racing from her nightmares. This wasn't exactly her in her most clear headed state.

“M-Mia?” Jolting as the blonde slammed her foot into the ground, Aela looked into the eyes of her friend and saw what looked to be someone completely different looking back at her. Not that pair of gentle eyes trying to understand her odd behaviour but rather those violet gems looking like they were made of ice, the cavewoman didn’t understand why Mia was acting this way toward her when she was only trying to help, and that only stirred the defensive and contentious part within her.
“You need help, don’t be stubborn!” The behaviour of the blonde not being taken as a warning by Miss Heartfire but rather some odd form of challenge, for a soul who was used to a more pack-based mentality, the only way to deal with this defiance was with a display of power. Perhaps intending to show that she was capable, though her actions were clumsy the wild woman wanted to show Mia that she could be counted on and was rather rough in her demonstration of this.
“Aela can do this for you!” Practically shouting as she snapped at her usually beloved blond and grabbing the bundle of sheets in both hands, Aela showed a hint of a bruise to her honour as she found herself denied and tugged at the sheets even more firmly. Showing that same stubbornness that she had just chided Mia about, for the moment Miss Heartfire didn’t care if she tore the item between them or even dragged Mia off her feet as she yanked on the bundle, and as she dug her heels into the ground and hefted at the roll in an effort to ‘win’…

"Aela...I said..." Tugging with her one arm, Mia was still a formiddable enemy to the girl opposite her, pulling with as much strength as her one arm could muster before a step back to secure her position forced her to catch her leg on the corner of the table, yelping as she tripped back against the edge of the table, the coffee table flipping against the back of her head, bringing a loud hiss as it hit the scar under her hair from one of her injuries, still holding the sheets tight in her one hand, purple eyes glaring up at Aela through her blonde hair.
"..."
With a throwing motion of her arm, she tossed the sheets back at the other girl and refused to answer, keeling forward and gripping the back of her head as the pain radiated through her skull, refusing to make a sound of pain as she let Aela have those bed sheets, trying to just deal with the aching sensation behind her skull now and the frustration and stress she felt at the front.

Groaning as she grappled with the other girl over what was probably the dumbest prize ever, Miss Heartfire behaved rather childishly as she tried to ‘win’ this odd tug of war, turning at her hips to try and put more of her strength and weight into the contest to try and counter the raw power that Mia possessed. Mia showing her ever impressive level of physical strength despite the injuries she had suffered, as the grip of the gym leader grew firmer the scruffy lodger only put more effort into her victory. Only realizing just how silly she was being when her ‘competition’ fell backward onto the ground, as a dull thud signalled the blonde bashing the back of her head on the table, Aela realized what she was done and was filled with horror.
“M-Mia!” Taking a step forward to try and help the girl before receiving a face full of cloth, Miss Heatfire tugged at the sheets to pull them from her head and chest before dropping to the ground and throwing herself forward.
“Mia, you OK Mia?” Bracing herself almost instinctively as she was sent a glare that she would normally have expected from a nasty natured Pokémon rather than a companion, there was an iciness about the colour of Mia’s eyes that sent a shiver through her, though Aela ignored this subtle warning and threw herself onto her knees in front of her fallen friend. Reaching forward with both hands in an attempt to help pick battered blonde back up and check that she was OK after her fall, the clumsy cavegirl tried her best to make up for her mistake, not knowing she was probably only making the situation worse…

Barely able to tell what Aela was doing, sound practically a numb sense with the pain in her head and her eyes squeezed shut as she lowered her head, even her attempts to dull her own pain with an instinctive grasp of her own head just frustrated her further, feeling the bandaged stump of her right arm brush against the side of her head, gritting her teeth harder and kicking her leg out at the leg of one of her chairs, every attempt to reduce her pain just frustrating her further, and the dull frustration increasing her pain.
"Get off..." She mumbled through her grit teeth, but it was barely loud enough to hear, she just struck out with her elbow and shot aglare back at Aela, not in a position to do much more...she just wanted to be left alone, to just burn out till she was either too numb or until the pain actually faded away. Actually...
"Make yourself fucking useful for a change...white bottle by my bed..."

“Mia?” Blinking in confusion as her friend began to thrash wildly, lashing out like an angry, wounded beast, Aela wondered what she could do to calm her friend down and reach out to try and steady the shoulders of the girl. This proving a mistake as she found the hard edge of an elbow smacking into her cheek, even this unintentional action of Mia was enough to daze Aela and send her spilling sideways. "Unnnggg..." Left shaking her head on all fours as a little bit of blood made a thin trail down from the corner of her mouth, Miss Heartfire felt an angry and instinctual urge to defend herself rising up within, but this time managed to put a lid on the feeling.
Useful…? Pushing down her desire to give as good as she got, Aela looked toward Mia as she spoke again and found that the addition of ‘for once’ was like an icicle through her heart. Clumsy for certain but trying her best in her own way to help, while the cavegirl wasn’t exactly expecting a sense of thanks, to know that her efforts had been completely ineffectual stung far worse than what had hurt her cheek. "I-I-I'll get it!" Feeling the mix of pain in her face and hurt in her heart, tiny little beads of blue built in the corners of Miss Heartfire’s eyes and she simply nodded at the comment and sprang to her feet, suddenly feeling like she needed to get away from the Gym Leader.
Silent and stunned as she moved away, despite stumbling over the sheets that had caused this little dispute the cavegirl did not stop going until she got to Mia’s room, not looking back once as she left her furious friend because she didn’t want to be reminded of how much she had disappointed the woman. Ducking down next to the stripped bed of the blonde and picking up a small light coloured bottle, Aela looked at it for a second, feeling like right now she might even manage to mistake the colour white for something else and wanting to be triple sure she got what the blonde had asked for. Her mind quiet and acting more on a kind of autopilot, Miss Heartfire nodded at the bottle before turning around, moving much more slowly and nervously as she returned to where she had left Mia…
