Wrap or log?

[lightthedarkness]

Not going anywhere, promise. Kinda hurts too much to move.

we can totes log it up!

[droptheious]

Okay. I'll be there soon.

[And as promised, he eventually shows up with his backpack and Ruddiger perched on his shoulder. Don't mind him, Usagi, he's just going to let himself in.]

Usagi? Where are you?

Action;

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi is on the couch, a blanket across her lap along with a manga. She offers a little wave.]

Hey stranger. [She's pale, well, even PALER, massive amounts of blood loss will do that. She sounds as tired as she feels.] You know the rules, shoes off at the door. [She is, as she said she would be, wearing a bikini top. Beneath she's wearing a pair of shorts. She's avoiding fabrics that might tug on the crystal or get caught on it.]

Action;

[droptheious]

[He does as he's told, taking his shoes off at the door. He looks tense and uncomfortable- but at least it's not because of the bikini this time. The crystal and his deep-seated trauma attached to it is far overpowering his ye-olde sense of decorum.

He comes into the room, his brow furrowed in worry, moving to crouch beside her. ]

...Well, that looks awful.

[He's an alchemist, not a doctor, he doesn't need to have a good bedside manner. ]

Action;

[lightthedarkness]

[He's not wrong. The wound just barely touches the bottom of her bikini top and is a wide oval from hip to rib like she said it was. The crystal is jagged along the wound, following the bite mark left by the monster.

It's pretty in that it's a crystal instead of a whole bunch of stitches and a red angry wound, but the crystal is a deep red at the base and moves up into pinks and then its traditional silvers and blues.

She sighs, and then winces.]

Be nice, I'm in enough pain as it is.

[droptheious]

This is me being nice.

[It's not pretty to Varian. It makes his skin crawl. He hates every single thing about this. But it's hurting Usagi, and he has to push through his own issues to try and help her. He squints at the wound again, not touching it, oh hell, no, not touching it.

He then rummages in his backpack. ]

I have a few pain relievers - I- I don't know how much they'll do against this because it's Deerington that caused it- but I hope it might at least take the edge off.

[lightthedarkness]

Well, can't be- that is, I would like to take a deep breath and not wish I lacked lungs... so can't be any worse than the day of! [Where she had a literal breakdown on Syaoran's couch.

A proud day, that.]

[droptheious]

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

[He pulls out a flacon with purple liquid in it, offering it over to her, a touch apologetically:]

I'm sorry, it tastes really bad. I haven't worked out how to make it taste better without compromising the medicinal qualities.

[lightthedarkness]

[She takes a deep breath and then gulps down the concoction, gagging afterward.]

Oh, that... that wasn't pleasant. [She gags again, putting a hand to her mouth. Oh no, don't... no... she WILLS herself not to vomit.]

[droptheious]

I did warn you.

[He grimaces, raising his hands a little.]

Please don't throw it up, it takes me like a month to make.

[lightthedarkness]

[She shook her head, pressing a finger to Varian's lips to shush him while her other hand was gripping his shoulder. She took several long deep breaths and then swallowed.]

Just...[A breath]... a..[Another breath].. thought.... offer... very strong... drink... after.

[She took another breath then let him go, leaning back.]

I think I died a little.

[droptheious]

[Wow, rude, Usagi. He watches her sit back, raising an eyebrow.]

Yeah, see they won't sell me strong drinks here. Apparently sixteen is too young to buy alcohol in the future. So I can't do that.

It wasn't that bad. And it should, at least, help with the pain.

[lightthedarkness]

How quickly will it happen the pain?

[Activating her gag reflex, which is causing her muscles to tighten in her stomach, is not exactly helping the entire side-covering wound.] Is this gonna take 30 to 45 minutes?

[droptheious]

No, it should take about ten.

[He says that with an incredulous snort. Wow, Usagi, doth tho think he's but an amateur?

Also, he's an alchemist, not a doctor, so gag reflexes with side-covering wounds are what she has to live with. ]

It should kick in soon.

[lightthedarkness]

[She gave a small nod and leaned back.]

I can't remember... is the hospital... actually a good place to go or evil? [Was she going to need a transfusion? Was it necessary?]

[droptheious]

Eh, it can be a fifty kind of deal. Your best bet would be The Goodbye Home. Eddie runs that and I know he has plenty of medical help there. And it's all Sleeper-run, so it's safe.

[Still, he casts her a worried look.]

Do you need help getting there?

[lightthedarkness]

Ah no, I mean, I dunno, how serious is extreme blood loss after a few days? [Because THAT wasn't a worrying comment or anything.]

Actually, I need a second favor. I... pretty much destroyed Syaoran Li's couch with... all my blood. I don't suppose you have a seriously strong stain remover? [Usagi doesn't know how to stop taking care of other people when she's injured to no end.]

[droptheious]

I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I'm gonna imagine pretty serious.

[Varian blinks at her for a moment, because Usagi... Usagi please.]

...Yes? Some acetic acid could get that right up but I think we have bigger concerns than staining your friend's couch right now. Like, you know, the fact you've been bleeding for days.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... oh no, no I haven't been bleeding for DAYS Varian, the wound is all sealed up.

No, I just... lost a whole lot the day of since the monsters bit out my side, ya know? So we can be concerned for his couch. I'm fine. [She's not fine. Usagi Tsukino should be banned from saying that phrase.]

[droptheious]

What? NO?!!

[Usagi, what the heck? You're gonna give him a heart attack.]

That IS a big deal! Why didn't you tell any of us you'd been bleeding that much?! This could be really serious. You need to go and let Eddie take a look at you.

[lightthedarkness]

[She waved a dismissive hand, smiling.]

There were more important things were going on. I'm sure it's fine now. [She may be slightly anemic... WHO KNOWS! Not her! But sometimes, yeah, Usagi takes... REAL bad care of herself in an attempt to take care of everyone else first.] I'm fine-.... ish!

[droptheious]

Fine-ish is not fine!!!

[Why do you do this to him???]

We should get you to the Goodbye Home so Eddie can take a look at you.

[lightthedarkness]

[Same reason you do, Varian. You don't like worrying your loved ones.]

It- I will go when I need to. I don't need to, I haven't fainted [NOT a great scale to function off of.] and I haven't had many dizzy spells. [Also NOT a great scale to use.] And the pain is... manageable. But I'm fine, it's crystallized. My crystal will heal me because that's what it does.

[droptheious]

[He doesn't look in the least bit convinced here.]

Okay. Only if you're sure.

[lightthedarkness]

[She... very, very, very carefully, gathered Varian into arms and rested her forehead on his shoulder.]

Thank you for worrying about me... I'm sorry I made you worry. I hate doing that to my precious people.
