"That's good, that's good," Rainbow says, yawning and nodding. "Once you've got a few minutes to wake up a bit more, he'll probably come over and change your stuff, before sending you off for the day." She nods towards the healer, a bit of a lanky man with long white and chocolate hair.
She lowers her voice. "So, uh... I don't know if you want to maybe see and try if we can catch Tiana when she comes in, and see if we can get some stuff for your Pokémon, too. She seems like she might be willing to do a favour, or we could try asking this one. I just... don't really know any of the others. I'm kinda bad with asking new people for stuff..."

"I don't genuinely even know some of the period equivalent treatments that replace some of the supplies I've used. I think the word antiseptic threw Tiana off as it was, medicine like this in my time is practiced in remote locations that don't have electricity or wifi." The girl wrinkled her nose. "Probably better we at least wait for someone you're familiar with, before I come off as a loon. I will have to keep in mind, smaller words... and to avoid jargon."

"Hey, lots of people know big words!" Rainbow says. "They're just, uh, the smart ones. I don't know that many of them. ...and some of the small ones are confusing, too. Like wifi. And jargon." She seems embarrassed.
The healer comes over shortly to interrupt them and change Bea's bandage - it looks like the various essences have jumpstarted the healing, so it's pretty much good as new. Probably also a side-effect of being part energy-based lifeform now.
With a new bandage, Rainbow leads Bea out to a stall outside to go get some food (mostly fruits), Before heading back to see if Tiana's in yet. And, in fact, she is... and she gives a grin and rolls her eyes as the pair enter. "So, did we go out and pick a new fight already?"

"Wifi is... a signal sent through the air to devices like my Pokedex, it lets you communicate or access a lot of things. Jargon is a catch-all term for anything technical, or specific, words for very specific niche things." Bee explained, with a gentle poke of Rainbow's nose. "Time period specific language would be jargon here."
Bee indulges in more high-acid fruit, as it is very much to her liking, doubly so with the loss of fluids.
"Actually, I wanted to ask an extremely large favor. We were attacked on the islands heading here from Mossdeep, on an important mission that we have a writ for from Lord Gaius, and I've spent all but the last of my medicines, bandages and the like. Is there any chance you could help me resupply it?"

"Ahhh… I see," Rainbow says, musing it over.
"How much are we talking about here?" Tiana asks. "If it's a basket or two, could probably swing it. But, anything more than that, and we won't be good if anything drastic happens here. It's probably important if you've got that sort of permission... but we have to take care of our own, too, right?"

"...Baskets?" Beatrice blinked a few times, before fetching a first aid kit from her pack, sleek plastic with a snap lid and a red cross symbol on the top of it. Popping it open, she looks over what remains in there. "I've used most of my antitoxins, topical painkillers, and bandages. I haven't... attempted it yet but I have heard of gut thread being used to stitch wounds? I possess neither the needle nor the material. Whatever is used to cleanse wounds wouldn't be bad either... alcohol maybe?"

Tiana looks concerned. "Baskets... you know, those open-topped containers... with handles... that you hold?" She glances at Rainbow. "Has she had any other issues recalling things? Because, if so, that could be a sign of much more serious damage."
"Not that I've seen," Rainbow says, before looking at Bea. "...have you?"
"If you're feeling alright, yes, I can get you some of those things, but... I just want to make sure you are sure that you're all right."

"It wasn't confusion over what a basket is, I have never heard materials measured in terms of a vague volume of material before." Bee retorted, a little flustered. "How do you determine how much of something you require for a given treatment?" Maybe they had mechanical scales? Or... measured it by volumetrics somehow? As long as it isn't in... handfuls or pinches, the girl could probably let the issue drop.

"I mean... we put the berry mixtures and poultices and bandages and stuff... in the basket?" It feels like the pair of you are just talking past each other. "That's just the total amount of everything that I can probably spare from things before it's far too much. And things are determined based on how bad a person is injured?"

"Oh... OH!" Bee covered her face and laughed, clearly really embarrassed. "You are offering more than I need because it is a long journey! Jeez, I am -so- sorry, haha... I guess I had a bit of a ditz moment." She giggles and nearly doubles over. "Thank you Tiana... you're very generous."

"It's all good," Tiana says, laughing. "As long as I know that you're thinking smoothly. I'd rather not have to keep you here for longer than I have to. Not fun for either of us.""It's okay," Rainbow teases. "You're my ditz, so you really aren't that bad. I don't have a lot of room to point and laugh.""Anyways, I'd rather at least try and make sure you don't need to be back here in a day or two," the healer says, theatrically rolling her eyes and sighing. She goes back into the building, before returning a few minutes later with a medicinal-smelling woven basket. "There you are. As much as I could spare. Please make sure it's put to good use. Though, in a perfect world, I'd like it to be able to be returned untouched after you're back here." She grins. Bea gets a lot of medicine! 5 Sitrus Berries. 5 Energy Roots. 5 Heal Powders. 3 Revival Herbs. 5 Poultices.

"That would be a wonderful world indeed." Bee took the basket graciously, cheeks burning at Rainbow declaring the possessive. "Thank you Tiana, I'll put it to good use." She offered the Roselia a little bow, only realizing after they had left the hospice that she had never exchanged full names. "We should probably catch up with the others, and I'll look after Genesect when I have the privacy to do so."

"That would probably be a smart idea, yes," Rainbow says. "I don't know what I'd do without you." She winks.
It takes a bit to find the others, but eventually the quartet is located at some food vendors. Lucille has just greens in front of her, while the others happily are eating some meat. There are definitely some bruises from the prior day, but everyone seems to be otherwise okay.
"Oh, Chrysanthemum, Beatrice," Lucille calls. "I'm glad that you're alright. Are you good to travel?"

"I can't fly on my own, and Genesect was wounded in that last engagement. I'll need time and privacy to tend him, as not to cause a panic. I suppose scouting for more company wouldn't be a bad idea while we remain too. Both short but important ventures. I'm fine though, and we've the medical supplies needed to keep after everyone for some time at least. Tiana, one of the healers here, was very kind." She explained.

"I've asked around already," Lucille says, quietly. "Word should hopefully be passed around by tomorrow, where any would meet us near the entrance to town. So, take the day to rest, recuperate. I can show you to the place where the locals informed us travellers can stay. That's where we were last night. There're rooms that can provide some privacy there."
"See... shouldn't have brought along people without wings..." Magnolia grumbles.

"I'll remember your complaints the next time a little rain inhibits your fighting ability." Beatrice retorts with a flat expression. "Genesect will be good to fly in the morning. If you would lead the way Lucille?"

"That wasn't rain that did that!" Magnolia says. "That was a full blown torrent! A giant jet! ...also, the rain from them is far worse than any natural rain."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that everything'll be fixed," Lucille says, carefully ignoring the Charizard. "It's this way. Oh, how were the resting facilities here? The stubborn fools all refused to go." The bug-girl shakes her head. "A matter of pride, I feel. Given how they were bested." She sighs.

"Tiana is quite nice, and I had a dreamless sleep that was relatively pain light. I'm not used to the curatives here, but I'm also not particularly used to being injured either." Beatrice shrugged helplessly. "We saw Lilycove well fed, and possibly saved three lives. I'd say it is worth it, for how quickly I recovered. A damaged rib would have been weeks if not months before my change." Bee follows along after Lucille.

"Is dreamless sleep good or bad?" Lucille asks, curiously. "I know my dreams tend to be good, but others have more in the realm of nightmarish stuff. They're peculiar things. Nobody really knows how they work. Though Psychic types, at least, sometimes have premonitions through them."

"I've little knowledge of dreams, but mine have only been troubling since arriving in this time. The ones back home were fairly mundane and benign, aspects of everyday life with surreal twists and turns about them." Bee explained thoughtfully. "I'd never given much thought of dreams pertaining to things that might come to pass before, though it might explain the incursion on the island."
