[She looks at Elsa for a long moment, her smile growing warm.] You're welcome. I'm glad the boys have you. [She cared a lot, Sanzang could tell that, and even though she hadn't known this version of her group for very long, even she could tell that was something they needed. Clearly they couldn't be trusted to take care of themselves.]
People in conditions like yours' have no right to talk back to me. [She turns her attention to Hakkai then, but her tone is playful.] This is me we're talking about! I have plenty of-- ah-- energy to spare! [Just ignore that hitch in her breath, and she presses a little into his closing wounds as Sanzo tries to sit up.
(Slow, it's going so slow, damn you work faster, she thinks furiously to herself, feeling her own energy draining, regardless of her earlier bravado. If she was at full power this would've been fully healed in less than a minute or two, if she was at full power this would be child's play dammit dammit--)]
I didn't give you permission to move! Working miracles like this takes time, you know! [But Hakkai's words churn through her mind. Come with her to fight Goku?] Are you going to become a nora, Hakkai? [Her tone is teasing, but her smile is vicious] Because right now, I don't think you could do too much besides be a meat shield without something like that!
[But that's not a bad idea either, unfortunate as it is. Sacrifice Hakkai to potentially save many more lives? It's not a decision she'd like to make, but she's made similar before. Sacrifice a pawn to get the checkmate they need. It's a no-brainer. The smile disappears from her face as she stares down at her glowing hands, plans upon plans building in her head centering around the hope that she could do that and keep Hakkai alive.]
If you let me heal you some beforehand, maybe I'll change my mind. [Which is as close to a "yes sure we'll do that" without having to say it out loud as Sanzang's going to get right now. instead she concentrates on Sanzo again]
What can you do to stop him? [It's not said accusingly or skeptically or anything, because if Sanzo has a better plan than "sacrifice Hakkai" then obviously she wants to hear it.]
