“M-My Lady!” Its painful cry came out as a surprised gasp. The young maid could only look up at her from the ground, her face contorted with pain. Her small adorable eyes were wet with painful tears. “What are you…” she sniffled, her voice breaking as a fresh wave of pain pushed down on her.
“Siet!?” Ravina pulled back, her own eyes widened as she saw the other girl on the floor. “What, are you okay?” She asked concern flush in her voice.
“Y-yes my lady, I'm fine just a little… bruised.” she managed with another winch of pain. She smiled at the little lady. “However, I would appreciate it if you would… get up?”
“Oh, y-yeah.” Ravina pushed herself off of Siet, rising to her knees as she crawled off of Siet, helping the girl to her own knees. “S-sorry, about that.” she stammered, rubbing the small bump on her head she gained after she practically tackled the young girl right outside her room. A silver tray had clattered to the ground aloud with the crips breaking sound of fine glassware. The floor was covered with water.
Speeded along by panic she didn't even think to try looking outside. If she had she would have found the young made seconds from entering her room. Even if she wasn't there she would have found the other maids, both of whom were looking at the pair on the ground, stunned into inaction. “Are you sure you're okay?” She asked, wiping a fresh tear from the young maid's eye.”

“Yes. it's… fine.” the maid replied, she was holding her elbow, the fabric darkened a little by blood. “Oh, s-sorry my lady.” she flinched as she saw the small bump on her young mistress’s head. “I should have paid more attention-” However, Ravina cut her off.
“Oh, no it's my fault, I shouldn't have burst out of the room like that.” Ravina insisted. She looked around, catching the eye of the maids watching. “Go get the doctor.'' The order knocked a little bit of sense into the maids, they looked at each other and nodded before both of them fled. “One of you could have helped…” shaking the thought she rose to her feet. Seit immediately jumped up to help her but was stopped by another, unexpected wince.
“Seriously how did you scrape your knee on a marble floor? Come on.” Ravina helped the young maid to her feet.
“My Lady,” Seit started, unsure of what to do. “I’m supposed to look after you.” she finally insisted.
“And you have done such a marvelous job of it. Seriously Seit, let me take care of you this one time, alright.” drawn into the girl's room, Siet could do little agent Ravina as she led her to the couch, sitting next to the young girl she finally relented.
“Alright, fine.” She relented, “But only because you’re the one who did this to me!”
“If you say it like that it makes me look like quite the villain.”
“That's not what I meant!”
“Isn’t it? I might have to punish you for that.”
“My Lady!”
Ravina continued to tease Siet until the doctor came. She didn't know what else to do but distract the other girl from her injuries, desperately trying to hide her own unease and worry through the crude humor.
