4th shopping trip [Voice] Backdated to August 13th
[Though she typically prefers video communication, Bulla deliberately selects voice. It's difficult to tell whether she sounds a little off because she's tired, depressed, or sick, but she's definitely not her usual upbeat and sociable self.]
Hi, everyone. I could use some suggestions for a distraction or three. Preferably something where you don't have to move around much.
[Truthfully, she's tired, depressed, and not feeling well, though it's due to an injury rather than illness. Her mother has vanished from Luceti, and she's recovering from the worst injury she's ever had in her life courtesy of a cultist.]
...and if you're suggesting reading, please suggest a specific book, because I've already read everything I have here in the house.

[And that's how you can tell that Bulla's really not feeling well. Shopping has no appeal.]

[Voice, filtered---->Action]
[That is a bit of a wakeup call. She'll let herself be a little sad about her mother being sent home, but she's trying to make herself think that her mother will be safer that way. Trying, but she also knows about the dangers she'll face and survive (or be revived from).]
Thanks, Tenten. I'll see you soon.
[She hears that movement, and after setting her journal down, she takes the time to chop up a bit of fresh fruit to share with Tenten. It's slower with only one hand that can do much more than serve as a weight, but she manages it.]
[Voice, filtered---->Action]
Girl, you could have waited a bit for me so I could cut up the fruit! I mean, I am the weapon and blade expert after all. That wouldn't be any trouble!
[Action]
[Bulla's wearing loose clothing that covers most of the bandaging covering her stitches, but if Tenten looks carefully, she'll be able to see that there's some bandaging on both the back and front of Bulla's left shoulder.]
[Action]
[ Tenten notices it, but doesn't comment. Bulla shouldn't be on the spot for too many things yet. ]
[Action]
[She won't be doing so much as basic practice punches for at least the next couple of weeks, though.]
The hardest thing I've been doing is changing my shirts, actually. I've been thinking about getting a couple of tube tops when I feel up to going out in public again.
[Action]
[ Hmmm.... Tenten hums. ]
I can probably find shirts for you that only go around one shoulder too, if you want those.
[Action]
[She's still not really in the mood for shopping, even if she knows it would be good to pick up a few more things she can comfortably wear until she recovers.]
