Definitely not for the fun of it. Its too much stress. Leo is a lot better at the bedside manner for this sort of thing.

[He's focused on the wound. As long as she's not making his job harder, she can do whatever she needs to. Just clean, stitch, figure out what needs to be done.]

Two more on this one. I'll need to doublecheck the others.

[bluediligence]

Hmmm'kay.

[ two more. she can handle two more easily, no problem at all. except her wings threaten twitch, threatening to flap, and shit, she's had less practice with keeping them still - ]

Can you, do you have those fun robo arms? Grab my wings -

[othellovonryan]

[There is instant sound of metal moving and robo arms are grabbing her wings, flaring them out and away, to make it harder to struggle too hard.]

[bluediligence]

[ He can feel the violent shudder run through her, and the way her wings strain against the hold before she settles again, tense, breathing harder. ]

Okay. Good, th, thanks. Better to, to keep them out of the way until we're done. They get flappy when I'm - uncomfortable. Don't wanna knock you.

[othellovonryan]

Even if you do, I will be fine. However, I can hold them until I'm done.

[Okay, stitches done on that wound.]

[A Pause.]

[Positive reinforcement, perhaps?]

I am going to kiss your cheek.

[Then he leans in and dies so. At least that touch is gentle.] You are doing good for me. You can keep it up. [His. His tone is flat though.]

[bluediligence]

[ The kiss on the cheek is welcome, makes her smile a little despite the ache, the anxiety, and how very much she hates all of this.

And the praise is.

It's.

Her shoulders shake. ]

[othellovonryan]

Good or bad? [He is going to move on to check her leg injuries next. They're likely to bleed more than her arms.]

[bluediligence]

[ nothing for a moment, but then a a wheezy hiccuping giggle escapes her. ]

H-Heh. Good. Thank you, Dee-kun; I needed that. [ it hits an objective, and it's objectively funny at the same time. win-win ]

[ the main wound on her calf is long and tapered, far deeper at one end than the other; it's almost like a stab that got wrenched sideways. not pretty. the skin around it is already mottled with bruising ]

That one hurt.

[othellovonryan]

I'll make a note of positive reinforcement.

This will need trimming and stitches. Beginning now. [Time to take care of ragged skin for cleaning and stitching.]

[bluediligence]

[ the most solemn, ] Uh huh.

[ but she's still laughing, muffled snickers like she's trying so, so hard to bite them back. ]

You don't have to push it if — ow, ow ow — you're not feeling it though. [ her leg finches back away from him before she can stop herself. ] I'm being a terrible patient today.

[othellovonryan]

I have to treat Leo 'the worst patient ever' Hamato. Since he can only do so much for himself. You're fine.

[Robot arm does come out to hold her ankle to help keep her steady.]

[bluediligence]

[ mmmmmno. no. dislike. dislikedislike. he'll feel her fight him on it for a handful of seconds, an odd noise like a hissing growl escaping before she breathes out shakily and gets a grip. ]

Uh- [ what was he saying? oh, right -]

He's that bad, huh.

[othellovonryan]

[It probably says his much Leo is a pain in that he doesn't seem to react to her hissing or fighting, just waits for her leg to still so he can work.]

The absolute worst. Broken bones, a severely cracked shell, which is the only thing between organs and air, there is no skin under it, and he still tries to get out of bed.

[bluediligence]

[ It takes her a hot second to settle again, blinking hard against reflexive tears. But she does eventually manage it. ]

Sorry. For, uh, for the flinch. You can keep going.

[ Her pain scale might be garbage but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel it. She's soft under all those scars. ]

That sounds horrific. How did you stop him?

[othellovonryan]

You're fine. Continuing. [More quick efficiency!]

Restraints and sedatives. And guilt trips when he needed the sedatives to clear his system before more.

[bluediligence]

[ Ow. ]

Oof. Medic Donnie-kun really isn't somebody to cross.

[othellovonryan]

I am not, no. There's several reasons why Leo is the preferred Medic.

[bluediligence]

[ settles her forehead back down on the knee of her uninjured leg. deep breaths. slow breaths. eyes closed, so it's almost like she's not seeing by choice. ]

I'll do my best to not have to ask you to do this again ...

[othellovonryan]

I would prefer that.

Ask for help if you need it. I will be far more cross if I found out you his something. [Trim trim trim recleaning.]

[bluediligence]

[ owwwwww DEEP BREATHS DEEP BREATHS - ok no, slower than that, don't make donnie's life even harder by hyperventilating on him.

it takes her a second to respond, ]

Asked for help this time, didn't I?

[othellovonryan]

And that was very good of you. Headpats. [Have a headpats with a robot hand.] I just wanted it noted for the future.

[Clean, clean.] Starting the stitches.

[bluediligence]

[ She will accept this pat on the head while she is trying her absolute rubesty to not make a complete idiot of herself.

muffles a few pained sounds by chomping on her own hand. ]

No hiding injuries from Donnie-kun lest I face his wrath. Got it. Luckily for both of us ... [ bites! her! hannnnnd! ] ... I'm usually more sensible than that. Usually. Not least 'cuz I know how frustrating it is from the medic's perspective. And the, the perspective of someone who just ... cares.

[othellovonryan]

Ah, if only Leo could be so mindful. You would think he'd know how much agreeable patients help.

Try not to break your skin.

[Sorry for repeated stabbing]

[bluediligence]

Doing my best-

[ thank you, blunt human teeth. ]

Ow, fuck. [ Her wings pull against the grip of his robo arms, but she manages to keep her leg still this time. ]

And what about you, Dee-kun? Are you an agreeable patient?

[othellovonryan]

I'm the best patient. [For injuries.]

[He's a nightmare for illness.]

The only time I have ever been remotely bad was when my whole family was a mess and I had to take charge. I, admittedly, got a little lost in the sauce as it were.

The rest of the time I sit down and let whoever fuss as they need to. I learned young that it made everything a lot easier.
