ISLA
"One day," Isla says, her voice cutting smoothly through the whisper of surf as the Northaven groans to a halt in the sand, "you're going to put your back out doing shit like that. Or pop a shoulder out of place. And when you do, I'll be there waiting at the clinic with a lecture all ready for you." The stern expression of medical concern she's adopted soon melts into a cheeky smile, the Remedy falling to a halt on the shore, a sunhat shading her eyes from the dying light, a basket hung over one arm.
"Hey," she adds cheerfully. "I heard about what happened at..." She doesn't want to call it a party, so she merely waggles her fingers down the beach in the distance, where Pierce's shindig had taken place. "I brought a few things for you and Ronin, in case you had trouble sleeping or needed some extra healing water. There are also a lot of snacks." Because whilst the Taliesins likely have healing aplenty, they are also perpetually hungry.
