[ this just gets a message marked as read but that's because he's a ye olde and also there are more important things to do than be considerate and reply
it takes him a little bit!! but eventually!! we are off to the ox dorm. ]
[ Rita frowns... but she goes ahead and removes the glove from her right hand, wincing as she does.
The skin underneath looks raw and blistered, and clearly burnt. She rolls up her sleeve to show the arm is bandaged, but it's easy to imagine that it's more of the same. ]
A souvenir from Thursday's trip. I didn't get it healed at the time.
[ there's a very light scold to that. he will go usher her somewhere to sit? i've never been to ox dorm but gestures. please go sit down. he comes to join her, working the cap of the remedy off with his good hand and passing it over with a frown. ]
[ which means that yes, the "i just didn't bother asking" is exactly what he thought happened. booboo the fool!!!!! it's not like he could be there to ensure it was going to happen, either, considering he was also bleeding everywhere like hours beforehand, so there's nothing much to be done about it. but.
he reaches out with his good hand and chops it extremely lightly on her head. bonk. ]
Next time, ask a little sooner. You were firing that pistol with your arm like this. What would have happened if something with it went wrong?
Don't only hear what you want to hear. [ ma'am! the scolding isn't much of a scolding though, and he's smiling, a bit mischievous as always. ] I am serious. Luck, perhaps, was on your side, but luck and foolishness are only occasionally bedfellows.
All that aside, I don't have to tell you this looks suspicious, I assume.

Date: 2023-10-15 02:47 pm (UTC)I do. [ a beat. ] Though, I have a strict policy on doling out healing based on the manner of injury, so it does come at the cost of a story.
[ he says this very lightly, teasing in a way that suggest it's a joke, except it is simultaneously blatantly clear that it is not a joke at all. ]

Was this the product of stubbornness?

Date: 2023-10-15 03:10 pm (UTC)I didn't refuse any healing, if that's what you're worried about. I just didn't bother asking anyone.
