Juna absently looked at Aressa, rolling over slightly onto her side to see, pausing to consider the question and her answer. She sighed. "I'm feeling..." She struggled to search for an adjective which described her current state. "Physically well. The pain from my ankle has begun to dissipate. I'm still feeling aches... but not as bad as before." She reported. Then she rolled over onto her back and looked up and the ceiling for a moment. She also felt worthless. She had spent her life learning magic as best she could and now found herself loosing a magic tournament in the first round. She wouldn't say that to Aressa. It was embarrassing to admit, even to herself. She paused for a second again.
"How's Elsis doing?" Juna asked. Then paused. "Bet she's won the whole tournament by now."
