[unbr8kable]

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

[a sharp breath]

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

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe I'll give em a go.

[A pause. A swipe, careful]

Gonna put the cream on now. Kay?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Still tense, but stays steady]

Yeah... Yeah, go for it.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[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.

[unbr8kable]

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

Okay. Okay. Business before pleasure, right?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

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.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Ah--thanks.

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

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

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

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

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

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

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

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.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Sure. I leave myself in your capable hands.

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

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[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]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[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]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

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

...that okay?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[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.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Couple on your side don't look so hot, either.

Want me to do those, too?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

...Guess they'll make a mess otherwise.

Should I ditch the pants?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... that'll probly make it easier.

Here, lemme help.

[Going to reach to undo the button on her pants as well, just as gentle]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Has she ever stopped him from undressing her?

...To be fair she does try to assist one-handed, though her hand is clumsy reaching for the ((did clothes back then have zippers. well, whatever))]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[When the pants are undone, he taps at the uninjured hip, soft]

...lift up a little?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She pushes up a bit on one arm]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Eases her pants down over her hips and then off entirely, sets them aside, then starts to tend the cuts]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Squirms a little, but mostly stays still so he can work, leaned forward, arm balanced on one knee]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[The process is the same as before: cleaning, and disinfecting, and then applying the butterfly stitches. He's as gentle as before, keeping an eye on her reactions to try and tell if it gets too much]

[When he's finished, finally, he offers her a smile that's trying to be reassuring]

Almost done. Just lemme know where there's plastic I can steal and we're in business.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She can't completely hide flinches or hisses as he tugs at the skin, but keeps more or less quiet as he finishes up]

...Kitchen, maybe. --I can send somebody.
