I CAN HEAL!
[The video begins with that very abrupt declaration from Orihime, her fists raised, brow furrowed, cheeks flushed. It's only abrupt because there were so many previous false starts before pushing record, and every time she practiced prior to this, she got too flustered to say the right words.]
[Best to just put it out there, and let the rest fall into place.]
[Now that she's said it, she takes a deep breath, lets her hands fall into her lap where they're clasped tightly together, and she grins sheepishly.]
I hope that wasn't too loud. I'm not really used to admitting it, since it's kind of a secret back home. But it's one of the things I can do, and I thought, 'Oh, that would be good for people to know in case of an emergency.' And you don't have to be human or organic for it to work, since it's not...technically...healing. It's more like...
[She hesitates, and her shoulders grow tense.]
It's...well...how do I put it...it's like rejecting the event that caused the injury in the first place, so it doesn't leave scars, or stains. So...even if your leg gets chopped off, or you get completely blown away, I can fix it if I can get to you before your body disappears. I haven't really found my limits yet, to be honest.
[She's slowly been shrinking in on herself. Then she suddenly sits up straight and waves her hands frantically.]
But I promise I'm not a monster or a god or anything like that! And I won't get rid of any injuries or scars you want to keep!
[Orihime was listening at the debates. She'd never even thought of a scar being like a memory, so now she knows better.]
Just...just please keep it in mind. I'm a volunteer with Heals on Wheels, and though I'm not really sure what we're supposed to do since I joined, I'm very much on call at any time you need me.
[Her head bobs, and for a moment she looks like she's going to keep talking. But she realizes she can't think of anything more to say. So she bobs her head again.]
That's it. I hope you had a good holiday!
[She leans forward and reaches for the 'off' switch. Aaaaaaaand she's gone!]

...Am I supposed to wear perfume on friend-dates? Or anything special?

[it's not that special.]

[She's kidding. Probably. Mostly she just wants to see how he'll react if she makes the suggestion.]
video;
[srsly.]

[Who would even want to in the dead of winter, that would be a terrible time for everyone.]
I'll dress warm. And you can pick where we eat afterward!
