Just a cheerer, not a doctor [Open, bendytimed to just after darksoul fight]
Starfire had to consider herself fairly lucky. Yes, they had damaged parts of the City, and she would have to find Beast Boy as soon as she was cleared to leave and comfort him, but it was over and no one had died. Her dear friend would be all right.
Even she would be all right soon. The burns on her arms and legs were somewhat extensive, but with some care they had healed nicely, protected by wrappings. The other change was in her hair, now sporting an uneven cut and coming to just below her shoulder blades due to burn damage.
Ordered to stay in bed, she satisfied herself by rebelliously floating up under the blankets, seeing how far she could go before being told to touch back down. It didn't hurt too much anymore, luckily. The pain was more of a phantom than a physical reality by this point.
"When will I be allowed to leave?" Starfire was impatient. Her body was healed enough, so she felt the calling to begin the emotional healing.

"Zetta told me about your group. He said it was a 'group for justice-concerned, good-deed loving teenagers who want to be heroes'." He shrugged, but had a smile from ear to piercing-laden ear. "I told him it wasn't really my type of thing, but I have a friend who loves doing that type of thing. She'd probably be interested," he said, nodding assuredly.
no subject
"That is an accurate description of us," she agreed. "Who is your friend? It would be wonderful to meet her."
no subject
He dropped one hand back to his lap, the other still pressed against his face as if he were looking in a telescope. "She's usually holed up in the Engineering labs since she discovered it."
no subject
Way to startle her already!
She laughed. "I am not an engineer, but I admire their work. What do you do?"
no subject
"Oh, and I'm also really good at alchemy, too. I can make a potion for anything! Well...a lot of things. I can even even make a potion that makes you look like someone else," he said, rather proudly. "It can...get you in trouble, though."
No...of course that wasn't experience speaking. Mostly.
no subject
Someone had watched too many nature documentaries.
Ah, but she thought she understood his meaning. "You use that potion often?"
no subject
His lips curved slightly into a frown. That didn't sound like he would have enjoyed at all. He paid it no mind, however and straightened up again.
"Not really, no. Despite how much fun it can be." And surely it was fun running around as a brawny slayer of dragons or a pretty, pretty princess, was it not?
"It was more that I spent some time testing it in the place where Fontaine and I do all our people-watching. Stormwind's Cathedral district! It turns out that most people, especially the uh..." His long eyebrows drew together and wobbled slightly as he tried to remember the word.
"Cory?? Corgie? Clergy? Clergy! Yes, those. They don't like being 'impersonated'." There was a short laugh as if the notion was silly. "So I was questioned on 'suspicious behavior'."
no subject
Yes, she had been there once. She longed to go again, but there was just never time!
"I can imagine it!" Starfire giggled, picturing a line of people with just one identical-looking person who didn't belong. "What suspicious behavior did they believe you were planning to do?"
no subject
"I can't really tame them to be my companions, but I'm sure they're great conversationalists. As for that behavior well..." His voice trailed off but he laughed.
"They thought I was going to impersonate one of the clergy, assassinate someone and try to frame them for it. I told them that was silly; why would I want to kill some random person, anyways? Hunters don't kill in the cities, they do it in the silence of the wilds." He pursed his lips and rubbed the violet stubble on his chin, "Come to think of it, that last part didn't go over too well, for whatever reason."
no subject
That was a power she had seen before, and...well, it was in her nature to take most statements literally.
Starfire listened to the story about the clergy, a faint frown on her face. They were holy men, from what she knew of them. "Were they opposed to any taking of life at all?"
no subject
"Innocent life," he stated. "They're opposed to taking innocent life. With the state Azeroth is in it's impossible to live on without any deaths. A lot of them are pointless, though, stemming from years and years of hatred."
Hatred was a common fuel for anything he had witnessed. It briefly made him wonder if Azeroth would have lasted a few more years anyways, if the Ohm hadn't destroyed it.
no subject
She understood the priests' view there, and it upset her. Pointless deaths from hatred----it was her worst enemy!
"A world torn by hatred. How familiar."

She hugged herself. "I have looked all around for a solution to this problem, but one has not been found."
no subject
He drew his legs up to his chest and draped his arms over them. "No one seems to ever be able to forget the past unless it was they who were at fault."
no subject
"But all hope is not lost. We are here, among people who respect us more easily than most."
no subject
"Though I suppose it's been hard for me to relate to other people on the whole matter. Apparently I keep making people upset when that's mentioned." He said, shrugging as if it couldn't possibly have been something he'd said.
