[ With a very wry smile, and still very pale. ]

I think for now, let's forego the ice. I can deal with some discomfort.

[chevaliered]

If you have something for pain in that bag of yours, alongside the tape, we might be able to help with that.

[ hopefully it's warm in the summer dorm. he'd be nosier but uh. their doctor got the shit kicked out of her, so. priorities. ]

[momming]

[ Thanks, Crow. It's definitely warm, with beach-y decor. ]

I should have painkillers, yes. I'd prefer to use them for the people who need it most, but one or two should be fine.

[chevaliered]

[ he just


LOOKS AT HER?? ]

Otome, your ribs are at best cracked, at worst broken. I think you count as someone who needs them most right now. [ take the DRUGS. ]

[momming]

[ she just--

LOOKS BACK. CALMLY. ]

Two are fine for now. If... this continues, I don't know how much worse people will get hurt.

[chevaliered]

[ this face. ]

If this continues, we'll adjust. We have vouchers. Right here and now, you have busted ribs.

[momming]

... Goodness, I didn't think you'd be the one to fuss between the both of us.

[ He has a point, though. Which is why she doesn't protest. ]

[chevaliered]

Injuries suck. And I'm surprised you're not concerned, but I guess there's a predictable trends in people who worry about others versus how much they worry about themselves.

[ aka zero. ]

[momming]

[ A soft huff. ]

If I could have avoided worry altogether, I would have.

[chevaliered]

Yeah, that is exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately for you, we're all worriers.

[momming]

Yes, I'm coming to realize that.

... Thank you, though. For your help.

[ unstoppable stubborn meets immoveable stubborn ]

I’d be a real asshole if I’d just left you sat in the middle of the field like that, Otome.

[momming]

[ just as gently as she ever talks]

Then I'm very glad you're a fake asshole, Crow.

[chevaliered]

[ he’s probably looking for/grabbing her medkit so they can get those painkillers in her and get some tape out— but he pauses, and snorts slightly. ]

Nah, I’m very much a real one. There are just different levels to it, I guess.

[momming]

Well, it's true that everyone has complexities.

[ Okay, Crow. At least her medkit is nearby, thanks Mabel. ]

[chevaliered]

[ mabel is the mvp ]

Yeah, some more than others. [ he’d wink! but now’s not the time. he does however hand her a blister pack of pain medication and give her a Look.

take your meds, doctor ]

[momming]

[ Otome gives him a rueful look in response, but does tear off the back and takes two pills dry, like a badass.

There. All fussed over. ]

[chevaliered]

[ there was that so tough? ]

No heavy lifting either.

[momming]

Yes, and restricted activity.

[ she knows!! ]

[chevaliered]

Which you’re gonna stick to and not “but I’m a doctor, I have to bust my ass to help”— right?

[ … ]

In all seriousness I have first aid and field med training. You can boss me around if something’s too strenuous. I’m into it, in specific circumstances. [ CROW ]

[momming]

Certain circumstances, hm? I suppose I could cooperate.

[ He's flirting now which means he's probably less worried about her, which is its own relief. ]

[chevaliered]

[ well. to a point. ]

Half the fun is figuring out if the circumstances fit, after all.

[momming]

So I should boss you around until I figure out what gets you hot and bothered?

[chevaliered]

Oh, kinky. I didn't take you for the type, Otome.

[momming]

I'm a doctor, why wouldn't I have a healthy interest in bodies?

[ she says. Cheerfully. ]
