It's a pretty sword at least.

[abileunaspada]

Who: Adela Milani (abileunaspada) & Sasuke Uchiha (not_thedragon)
When: November 19th-30th (originally planned for November 19th through 27th)
Where: Between Land of Fire and Land of Birds
Notes: A simple weapons' commission turns sour when rumours of an opportunity reach the ears of a surprising foe.

It really was her finest work...

Adela sighed as she lovingly peace-bound the ornate sword into its hilt. It might have been overly-decorated and never meant to see combat of any kind, but it was still such a fine work that she didn't care. Hopefully the lord who commissioned it from their store would agree, because they hadn't specifically asked for uncle's work and he had given this job to her...

Well, and to Sasuke for the delivery. Really, she'd be able to handle a bunch of bandits, but given all that happened she couldn't exactly blame Obito for wanting to make sure that there was a Jonin with her. Really, even if on paper he'd been given the same mission she knew the real reason, if she was honest with herself. Well, hopefully it would just be a precaution this time...

Sasuke was going to be hearing the gurgling end of that hysterical laughter in his head for days, but at least his memory wasn't hearing-based; the visual was messy enough without wishing for Sharingan-for-ears upon himself. There was no doubt that their opponents were thoroughly out for the count, though, so Sasuke's attention was already turned to his leg by the time Adela dropped down by his side, gritting his teeth as he gingerly manipulated the bone still jutting out of his calf.

"I tied off a tourniquet already," he said, once he trusted his voice to be steady through the deep breaths he was still taking to maintain oxygen flow to the brain and work through the body's shock reaction. "But it needs to be set before I can do more than lessen the pain."

Which would be an unpleasant endeavour that would require steady hands -- more hands than his own. He levelled a scrutinizing stare at Adela, gauging whether or not he trusted her with bone when she'd been unable to use a blade properly mere minutes ago.

Sasuke would probably notice that Adela was perspiring quite heavily then -- more than what would have been normal for that level of combat. It was true that part of it was from her fear reaction, and even she could admit to herself that her skin felt cold and clammy, but also hot and feverish.

Whether or not she realized it, she'd probably be exhausted entirely by the time her adrenaline ran out. At that time Adela had pushed herself too hard, harder than she had in a very long time, and although it didn't seem to have any negative effects she was probably going to be feeling it for at least a couple of days.

But, that wasn't what was important. Her mind was still focused on the task at hand, hanging on a little longer as she looked him in the eye, "Tell me what to do. My field medicine knowledge is pretty limited, so you'll have to guide me step by step Sasuke."
