Relax...right.

[Its easy enough to unbutton the silky fabric, though sadly the shirt is probably not worth saving at this point. She hisses as he pulls the fabric away from all the cuts, half-dried blood tugging at the ripped skin.

That said, the wounds are mostly shallow, some already beginning to scab over. Only a couple are serious enough to need more than a wipe down with peroxide: the jagged cut through her left shoulder; the deep punctures through her side, thankfully missing major organs.]

[He sucks in a sharp breath, in sympathy, when he sees the extext of them - gentles his already gentle touch even further, as he eases the fabric off her shoulders]

You sure you don't want me to get a healer? Some of these look rough.

I've had worse. You've had worse.

[She attempts to help, or at least not to hiss quite as loudly this time]

...They got their hands full with the fish guys anyways.

Sure, but they could help out, after.

[Checking to see if there's a disinfectant less painful than peroxide,]

[There's whatever came in the generic Hell first aid kit lbr]

If it ain't healing tomorrow, I'll find them. ...I just wanna be with you.

...okay.

[He leans in, gentle, to press a kiss to her cheek]

I'm gonna clean it up, some, and do the disinfectant thing. Might sting.

I'm ready. Do your worst.

Maybe don't tell the guy who might gotta give you stitches to do his worse. I ain't the best at sewing stuff.

[But he is going to start cleaning these out, very gentle]

[She tenses a bit, pressing her lips thin]

...Nnnah. You made me a cape. That was pretty good.

Yeah, well. You're way more important than a cape. So.

[Keeps at it, doin his best not to hurt her]

I dunno. Some capes're pretty sweet. That--

[a sharp breath]

--hhah. Maybe you should try wearing more capes yourself.

Maybe I'll give em a go.

[A pause. A swipe, careful]

Gonna put the cream on now. Kay?

[Still tense, but stays steady]

Yeah... Yeah, go for it.

[Dabbing on some of the cream, just as gentle]

Okay... I think that oughtta do it.

[He hesitates - hesitates longer]

Okay. Uh. Stitches first before bath, probly.

[She lets out a shaky breath, clenching at her knee before releasing it]

Okay. Okay. Business before pleasure, right?

Figure if it gets wet without getting closed up, it's just gonna bleed more, right?

[Starts to dig the sewing stuff out of the kit - pauses, when moving stuff around unveils some pain meds, and shakes a couple out of the bottle to hand over to her]

Here... these first.

Ah--thanks.

[She dry-swallows the pills, wincing as they go down]

Looks like you guys got some butterfly stitches, too. You wanna try those, first?

...I dunno how good they do in the water, though.

Up to you. I ain't trying much swimming either way.

How bout we try the butterflies and tape a plastic bag over em?

If it works, least you don't gotta deal with the needle.

Sure. I leave myself in your capable hands.

[pay no attention to why she's so happy to avoid punctures, it's all good]

[Punctures seem like they're good to avoid just in general,]

Kay. We'll give it a go.

[Getting the butterflies out, then, and opening them up]

[Sometimes they restore HP (though not for Gold please don't stab gold)]

[She shuts her eyes again and lets him work, more obviously off-color now that he's cleaned her up a bit]

[Putting them on, as gently as he can while still having them close up these cuts]

...that okay?

[Slowly, she rolls her shoulder because she's bad at this--grunts at the pain, but watches to see that the clips hold]

Whew... Yeah. 'S good.
