[ Sora stares at Fjord conflicted, his hand still. Deeply, truly conflicted. This goes into territory that he's not sure if he's particularly ready to go into. Fortunately, he doesn't have to; he feels that strange little sense and immediately casts Cure again, wordless, letting the magic wash over them both. (It's always on the caster and anyone nearby - just a weird little quirk of the spell he hasn't been able to isolate.)

It's enough to break him out of his little rut. C'mon. No more thinking. ]

Kids can be cruel. And scared of anything different. Doesn't get much better as life goes on, sometimes. [ He shakes his head. ] I... think you got lucky, in the end, but it shouldn't have been like that. I'm sorry. [ That wasn't Fjord's fault by a long shot. ]
