The Dark Paladin of Chaos
It was another stretch of few days without her sister. Madalena sat on her bed and leaned against the wall, utterly exhausted. Cardinal was off on a mission this time around, so she couldn't call him to come keep her company. And when she had no company, the days stretched endlessly. She woke up in the morning and went through her physiotherapy routine, after which her body was always too tired for her to be able to stand without the aid of crutches.
She hated those damned crutches. Madalena was a free spirit; before the switch to that body, she had always been bustling about, running off from mission to mission or event to event, never much carrying for proper rest or all of those stuff that it was only other people that needed it. The Kaomians and her sister had promised her that this would improve, that she would cease feeling so old once her body adjusted and she could go back to the activity levels she was so used to, but at present it seemed more like a distant dream than a reality.
It was with much effort that she walked herself to the kitchen, Baal walking carefully by her side until she got there and sat herself down by the counter, only now realizing that her comdevice had been on the counter that entire time. Sighing, she opened it and ran her thumb through her contacts. So many people she had known while in Scherezade's body, yet could not reach out to. Not yet. It was too early. Once she could walk normally, once she could fight normally, if fighting was what she wanted to do at all…
Except one.

Madalena had wanted to reach out to him every day since her return, but she could not bear to have him see her like that. The first days had been hellish to her, unable to even chew and swallow food without guidance. She'd wanted no one to see her then, no one save her sister.
But now… Cardinal had already seen her. Had already loved her. Maybe it was time at last to reach out to who she had thought was her best friend and see what had changed after that miserable day in Kashyyyk.
Her fingers working slowly, she chose to send him a text message.
If you're not busy, wanna come over? Scherezade's out for the next few days and I could use some company.
