He's already looking her over for injury, his eyes raking over her, but she knows he's not going to find anything. She's not hurt, that's the whole problem. It's been weeks since she last felt any pain in her leg, since anything at all caused her any discomfort or heartache. Things that she knows should have she can't properly feel, the memories glazed over, the thoughts blocked.

Immediately he offers to help and Raven breathes, relieved even though she had known he would try. He's never let her down and she trusts that he'll listen to her, even if she knows what she's about to say is going to sound absolutely crazy.

"My leg doesn't hurt," she starts, beginning with the parts he already knows, the parts they can both make sense of. "Nothing hurts." She frowns, and out of the corner of her eye ALIE is warning her to stop, her eyes flashing hard. Raven determinedly looks away from her, tries to focus her head even though it suddenly feels like everything is too much and she won't be able to get the words out. "I lied when I said I got painkillers from a doctor," she forces out. "Someone else gave me something."
