If there were two powers I could pick, healing would be one and teleportation would be the other.
There are limits on energy in this world. I mentioned it in some earlier chapter, with Rachel–seven or eight maybe. Most people can heal minor wounds, but it drains them and they have to eat afterwards. Major wounds can’t be healed quickly without draining the body to exhaustion or death; if the wound is great enough, they will run out of energy and die.
So, mostly, it’s a handy trick that makes them durable, but not at all unkillable. Mortal wounds still kill them, and the balance is preserved.
Bruises, broken bones, concussions, no big deal. Open wounds get progressively harder to heal, and they can’t replace lost blood in the same way as they can knit skin together.

Man, it would be amazing if everyone could heal themselves. Of course with quick-healing, there are boundaries that get pushed that wouldn’t normally (like in Tales of MU). It’ll be interesting to see if anything comes of that. Other than amusing the Master at Arms, of course.

I revised the first part of this chapter. It’s better now.

Nice use of the love-hunt motif. Perhaps some more character and personality elaboration would flesh things out a bit?

Yay for telling off to obnoxiuos nobility:) Hope it doesn’t come back to hit Allen in the face.
