[Her voice sounds distant, weak, but devoid of emotion.]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I need... Is there an ambulance service? Coordinates follow.

I don't think they have them here-

I'm on my way, okay.

[He doesn't bother responding over the network - once he has her coordinates he's on his way. If there's a bus there when he arrives, all the better. But he has no idea if there even are services like that for non-natives of the City.]

Hey.

[He's carrying an oversized first-aid kit, and he hands it to her.]

She probably won't want me touching her. Do you need this? [as if to indicate he's aware members of the City have supernatural healing abilities.]

I've got something better. We'll see when we get to her.

[She's lying on her side against a wall. The amount of blood giving a clue as to why she's not sitting up. Her clothes lie in tatters and she is curled up, clutching something to her chest, her communicator on the ground next to her. She watches the pair walk closer with eyes gone flat with shock.]

Mei Lin knelt on the other side, putting the case to the side and pursing her lips]

Don't bother her with that right now-

[Her brows tensed, hands moving over her body, beginning to glow softly. She'd just have to deal with the consequences of using her powers like this]

Jiva.

[Even under the artificial calm, a flinch flickers across her face when Vicious comes so close. When Mei Lin uses the word, though, her attention diverts from him to something... else while the visible wounds and bruises begin to heal, leaving her at least externally whole, if still bloodied.]

How...

[She licks her lips and the thing clutched to her chest is revealed to be a small box with a few buttons on it that she pushes without looking at it, after which the blankness leaves her expression to be replaced by a certain wonderment.]

How did you do that?

[He moves back enough to give her some room, and shrugs out of his black trench coat, offering it to Morn. He doesn't repeat the question, though he watches them both closely - as if it is vital that he know.]

[She gives Mei Lin a look that says when after she gets out of here, bathed, and into her own clothes, there will be a Talk about that, but she cautiously levers herself up, wincing as the remaining damage lets her know that she isn't 100% healed. Without meeting Vicious' eyes, she takes the coat from him with the hand not clutching her remote.]

Thank you.

Let's not worry about that right now, Morn. Right now, we need to get you to a hospital.

[It does come as a relief as Vicious walks away. Living with Mei Lin has established at least some trust and she's not male. No matter Vicious' generosity to date, he remains a man.]

Leia's friend said an ambulance is coming. I want to go home.

No hospital if you can fix it.

So... A long, long time ago... Once upon a time, I guess, there was a man who created the words of light, to guide humanity on a path towards goodness. Master Lotsuan created the 24 Lotis words.
