 CURRENT POPULATION: 35
It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.

She's sleeping when they come in, but the fact that she's getting rest is probably the only comforting thing about this situation. There are small scrapes and bruises all over, a black eye that's swelling a bit, and true to Xion's word, her left arm is gone from the elbow down. At least the bleeding on that has been stopped by the time they enter; small mercies.
She's out like a light. She doesn't even stir when they come in, though the steady rise and fall of her chest at least proves that she's alive.]

[ It's not a call meant to wake her friend up. She just ... kind of can't keep herself from murmuring it. The look on her face is very tender as they walk in.
Her limp has grown more pronounced the whole way here, and by now it's clear she's having trouble standing on it, even if she won't say so or even let it show in her face. She'll limp forward and carefully lower herself beside her friend. ]
I told her I'd stay, [ she says by way of explanation. ] She was asleep by the end, so I thought it was safe to come get everyone. But ... I want to be here when she wakes up.

Do you want her to wake up to you looking like. . . [well. that??]
Because if not, you should take a few moments to take care of yourself.

Xion looks down at herself, at her bloody clothes and hands, and... goes a little paler, at least. ]
... I guess not.
[ It's with a quiet hiss that she levers herself back to her feet, at which point .... she stumbles. Yikes. This really hurts. ]

Why don't you have Dr. Lecter examine your foot? I can fetch you fresh clothing, so you don't have to leave and can be here when Natalie awakens.
