[Hester extends her leg without protest, a small blush creeping into her cheeks.
It's grounding, having someone touch her when she's felt so out place in her own skin lately. A hand in her hair, hands on her shoulders, being hugged so tight she could barely breathe- they'd all been an anchor to keep her drifting thoughts rooted. And Maya's hands feel...nice on her skin. Yup, just nice. Nothing else to it, nope. Just two girls hanging out while one feels up the other's leg. Not wondering about anything else.
But as for her injured leg it's perfectly healed. Not even a run in her stocking.]
He, um, the Wizard fixed it right after the trial. [She reaches down to run her fingers over her shin, remembering burns and glass and blood that don't exist anymore.] He was so quick it...it didn't even hurt.
