[ A quiet hum ]

... There's a lot of meaning in that, I think. Making the conscious decision to do good. To be kind.

[othellovonryan]

I know there is. It's not a decision I take likely. If anything, it's extremely difficult to choose to be kind.

It would be easier to be cutthroat, ruthless, to not care beyond mine entirely.

But it makes things better for all of us that I try for more.

[bluediligence]

It's... honestly kinda funny, how familiar this sounds.

[othellovonryan]

It does?

[bluediligence]

Mm. My brother is ...

I don't wanna say too much when you haven't even met him yet. But he knows what his priorities are, always. [ Family. ]

And I know that many of his decisions are tempered by me and by the rest of his family.

[othellovonryan]

Good.

Inherently good people deserve someone who will selfishly love them.

Helps temper the martyrdom a bit.

[bluediligence]

Mutual leash-holding. It all balances out.

[ most of the time. ]

[othellovonryan]

Usually, at least.

You don't have to worry about me having a morality or self esteem crisis. My only concern is one day I may have to bite the bullet and do something my brothers can't and it might change their view of me.

I know they wouldn't abandon me, Draxum proves that, but change is a scary thing.

[bluediligence]

Mm.

[ sometimes not so much. but she tries to live on the bright side ]

... It really can be. But if you've got them and they've got you, you'd figure things out. In my experience, it's when you're - and that's a general you - alone that things get dicey.

[othellovonryan]

Oh definitely. If I didn't have my brothers, there was a ninety-five chance I would become at minimum a scientific ethics villain if not outright supervillainy.

Looking at the higher wounds. [Time to case out her arms.]

[bluediligence]

Supervillain Donnie-kun ...

[ Aside from the slash across her shoulderblade — nd the gash on her bicep that he'd already tended — the rest of her wounds are minor! Bruises, scrapes, a few shallow cuts that'll heal fine without stitches. ]

You'd still be cute, I think … but probably a little terrifying. [ "a little" ]

[ She finally lifts up her head, blinking a few times to get rid of the gross, gummy feeling that lingers after you nearly cry. There's a faint milkiness to both her irises and her pupils. ]

[othellovonryan]

I would be incredibly terrifying. [Not even calling him cute can fluster Medic Donnie.]

[Still tending to her minor wounds.]

Do I still need to hold your wings?

[bluediligence]

I, on the other hand, would make a terrible supervillain. I'd go to jail for the puns alone.

[ aforementioned wings wiggle faintly ]

Should be okay to let go now, if the worst is over with.

[othellovonryan]

I am not so sure. Supervillains do have an odd penchant for puns.

It should be, unless you're hiding something. [Robot arms are letting her go now as he finishes up.]

[bluediligence]

In real life? Wow.

[ She gives her wings a little shake, settling some of the rumpled feathers, and lets them flop loose ]

I'm not, but you can check to make sure if you think you should.

[othellovonryan]

In real life, yes.

I do prefer to be thorough. [Since she offered! Time to do a thorough once over for any extra bleeding.]

[bluediligence]

[ No extra bleeding! Though if he's poking and feeling around, there's a couple of tender spots that make her breathe in softly. ]

Just bruises, I think.

[othellovonryan]

Hm, does look like it.

okay. I need to go clean up. I will be long. [He has to decompress a bit.]

Kissing forehead. [And he leans up to kiss her forehead.] You were a good girl.

[bluediligence]

[ she blushes at the kiss, and even more when he calls her a good girl ]

A-Ah ... [ that's a feeling?? that's sure a feeling. ]

Uhm. Yeah, thanks for the heads up. Take your time.

[othellovonryan]

[Its called a praise kink, Korone.]

Take it easy. If I find you walking around unsupported, I will tie you to the bed.

[But now he's gonna go clean up and start vibrating because FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

[bluediligence]

[ sounds fake ]

You will do no such thing!

[ all she does is gently faceplant onto aforementioned bed, and spend however long he's gone trying valiantly to relax. she's reached the tired-but-wired stage of exhaustion, antsy but heavy as a bag of bricks. ]

[othellovonryan]

[He does take a bit. He needs to scrub all the blood off his hands and then wash even more until his hands aren't shaking so badly. Let his breathing get ragged and harsh as he just lets himself]

[buzz unpleasantly.]

[Its probably a good fifteen minutes before he returns to her room.]

Back. [He sounds. Tired.]

[bluediligence]

[ Picks her head up off the pillow, half sitting up with her good arm as a prop ]

How can I help?

[ she doesn't need eyesight to pick up on how tired he is ]

[othellovonryan]

Let me take a look at your eyes first. I can't immediately do anything, but the data is important.

[bluediligence]

But —

[ Sighs, sitting up fully now ]

Alright. But then you tell me what you need.
