Liffey wasn't expecting company, so she started when she was hit suddenly by the sound of her name. She turned to peer over her shoulder, eyes widening at the sight that met her gaze.

His words were lost somewhere in the pounding in her ears, so her response was not at all directed by what he'd said. "What are you doing out here!" Liffey replied, her eyes narrowing a little, "You should be resting still! You're going to get yourself hurt and undo all the healing you've done, and then I'll have to hurt you and you'll be worse off than you even started."
