[ alisaie hardly needs a reason to go on an expedition, especially after finally getting back into her own, real skin. existing as a force ghost on the first hadn't been too terrible, and mostly she had felt like herself, but that had mostly been due to the fact that she quickly became accustomed to what it feels like to be made entirely of aether. climbing back into her bones felt like taking off tight shoes after a long walk.
satisfying, and also kind of painful.
much as she wanted to dart off to work immediately, the toll that their bodies had taken while lying dormant was quite heavy. her muscles had begun to waste, her bones ached from head to toe, her stomach felt sick - it was a few days before she was even able to walk around the rising stones without feeling ready to hit the floor, and even longer still before she was ready for any sort of exertion. krile's efforts had been tireless, but it still took quite some time. it seems that leaving your body to rot unmoving for a few years was very unhealthy.
but she's finally been given a clean bill of health. well, mostly clean. she still tires more easily than she otherwise might, and by the end of any given day she is quite sore, but honestly, krile, alphinaud, and the chirurgeons are tiring of her constant complaining. there's no amount of healing now that could help, only time and effort will see her strength back as it was.
so when peony makes mention of a quick survey trip to castrum centri in southern mor dhona, alisaie is quick to leap upon it like a frenzied lioness on a fresh kill. it's not far to travel, after all, they'll return by the morning, so alphinaud can't complain too much. and they always have their linkpearls. and so she's up on chobi's back in a flash, his saddlebags packed with snacks and gysahl greens, her rapier on her hip, ready to ride before peony can so much as nod. ]
