Alex blinked once then twice before looking at Charles, who had several bruises on his face.
"What happened to you?" Alex asked.
"I fell off the stairs," Charles replied.
He remained still as Nessia tended to his injuries with a cotton bud soaked with a healing potion.
They were currently in the clock tower, so no one would tease the two who had already become a couple.
Alex smiled faintly. "Won't it be better to go to the infirmary instead?"
"It's just a scratch," Charles explained. "There's no need to go to the infirmary."
Alex's smile morphed into a smirk. "I guess you prefer to be treated by Nessia's tender loving care than the nurses' punches and kicks. Lin's and Rin's healing skills, Heal Slap and Feel Better Fist, are the real deal, but at what cost?"
Charles winced as if he was recalling a very bad memory. The two nurses were very competent, but the way they treated their patients was… rather unique.
