In theory, Yufi can comprehend what sheās saying. Pain is temporary, just an immediate reaction to stimulus, that endorphins can kick in and help the body tolerate the situation, blah blah. But regardless of how long it lasts, the point isĀ that the severity of this injury is less mild and more serious, and Yufiās suffering.Ā Her legs are kinda pretty much the main event, and if she canāt run because of a sprain or pulled muscle or whateverĀ sheās done ( seriously, why is her thigh bulging like that? ), then it means sheās basically useless until itās recovered!
And maybe someĀ princesses donāt mind being carried and having their work done for them, but Yufi isnāt one of them. Sheād be pouting if there wasnāt so much wincing done on her end. Itās taking everything in her not to scream out whenever Aerith touches the area, no matter how delicately she brushes over the skin.
ā But itās right now! Are you for real that Cure materia wonāt fix this? Grr... ā
And itās not that Yufi hasĀ to always be on the main line, nor is it particularly shameful to be pushed to the reserves. But if she canĀ be in a position to strengthen herself, she wants it. No pity, no need to be protected... sheās made it this far.
But overexerting yourself will only make things worse.
She knows that, and itās why the decision to say back annoys her even more. Whyād she have to get hurt anyway, when Tifaās out there dive-bombing mile high bugs and Cloudās crashing in the front doors of demon-possessed houses? This blows.
But at least Barretās shoulders are comfy, as sheās slung across one, his free arm still available to shoot enemies from the back row.Ā Ā
