[Kit frowns in concern. Chime seems to be out of danger, at the very least, which is a relief. But those scars...

[Kit gives a sigh of relief and sinks down to sit on the floor. The past few moments of panic have left her drained too, now that they're over.]

But now that we do we won't ever do it again. I promise.
