[Whoever's watching the feed right now can probably tell that something's not quite right. Not only does Eley look blackened and sore as if he had been scorched somehow, but the tree behind him also looks as though it has met a similar fate, with shattered branches and charred bark.
And in his hands, he's holding some remnant of what might have been a scarf at one time, though right now it looks like nothing more than a rag.]
Why would anyone do this? How could they... enjoy such a thing?
[He sounds tired, disappointed, though that quickly turns to bitter anger.]
Edmundo the Blade has made an enemy of me. He has shown nothing but disrespect. I should not have let him get this far. If only I was not so complacent, so tied to the path of peace, this would not have happened. My tree...
[Yes, he's more concerned about the tree than he is about himself right now.]
If anyone knows a way to repair the damage, I would be grateful to you.

I currently have no job, but when I was in Heaven all I had to do was sing to wake up the new angels.
[That last part makes her smile.]
I'm glad. It is part of my nature to make people feel better.
[Action]
[Again, something Eley had not heard much of here. Singing was rather prevalent among the Agkelon people however, and he did sometimes miss their voices. It was soothing, even for someone like him...]
I have never attempted to sing... though I was given a harmonica to play. I am still far from good at doing so, however...
[He seems a little embarrassed about it for some reason.]
[Action]
[That's practically shocking to her!]
...Why not?
[Action]
[Was she really expecting him to have tried it then? Obviously it was something very important to her.]
My kind are usually born without emotion or knowledge of human norms. I became too close to the humans... and developed emotions of my own as an exception.
It is something I have been exploring here, since the Malnosso gave me this human body. But... singing is not something that I have encountered yet.
[Action]
[She knew nothing of humans before going to Earth...and now she's changed so much that she's living as a human.]
You should try it though. Most people have a lot of fun with it, and it keeps me from missing home too much.
[Action]
[How did someone just... break into song? How did they know what to sing or what tune to follow?]
Perhaps you could show me?
[Action]
[Kohaku has no problem just starting to sing, and she was going to sing for the tree anyway. So she just takes a deep breath and starts this song. ]
[Action]
...in fact he rather struggles to stay awake, already feeling tired after the attack. He finds himself closing his eyes and resting his head back on the tree, still listening, but relaxed now too.]
[Action]
Are you okay?
[Action]
Ah... yes, I am sorry. I was listening, please do not think me rude. It seems that my wounded body requires rest. Your voice just helped to relax me enough to do so.
[Action]
[Though only if she doesn't see blood. I she does, she still has the bad habit of fainting.]
[Action]
[He pauses, as if unsure about his decision.]
On the other hand, human bodies are fragile. Perhaps... I should be more careful.
[His body was covered in burns rather than gashes. Luckily there wasn't too much blood spilled here today.]
[Action]
[Solar powered angel.]
[Action]
He gives a nod though, holding out his hands.]
The burns are all over my body, mostly at the front. If you can heal them... well, such kindness deserves a reward.
[Action]
[Though she understands why he would think that. Any humans that helped her, she would reward with a wish.
She'll take his hands though, and it should quickly feel like cool water is rushing to the burns. Probably not too comfortable since it's already cold outside, but it'll take a few minutes for her to get them to heal from the inside out.
Healing people is much harder than healing plants.]
[Action]
For now though, the touch of her hands on his keeps his attention, as does the sensation that follows shortly afterwards. Though the cooling feeling washed away the sting of the burns, it also left him feeling rather more cold on the inside and he couldn't help but tense up ever so slightly, as if his body was trying to guard him from it.
Time passed though, and eventually the sensation stopped.]
Is... is it done?
[Action]
Uh-huh. You can check for yourself.
[Action]
His gaze returns to Kohaku. He really is rather intrigued by her at this point.]
I know of people with the ability to heal but I have never experienced it in that way before. Besides that... you seem to have many gifts. I wonder what else you are capable of.
[Action]
Other than that, the rest of my magic is normal...except for a few higher level spells. [Which she hasn't tested out here.]
[Action]
[A few hundred years was still not a lot of time on Eley's scale. He couldn't help but wonder just how old this angel was...
As for the magic-]
I cannot say that any magic is 'normal' from my perspective. But I feel lucky to have met someone like you all the same.
[Action]
...True. Elemental magic seems almost constant in a lot of worlds, so I tend to go by that.
I'm just glad I could help.
