I guess she gets better. We gotta get you cleaned up or you'll give your teammates a heart attack.

[the idea is to pick him up, but moves slowly in case Acedia wants to pull away]

[adharma]

[ verrrrrrry tense, and a little angry or hysterical, one of the two. ]

I broke her neck. And then she just . . . got up. That's not fair.

[iwantyour]

[I don't care, I'm taking you down to the stupid lake to get you cleaned up]

You were not supposed to get that far to begin with.

[adharma]

It wasn't. Just . . . [ slow exhale ] . . . a miscalculation . . .

[iwantyour]

No?

[putting him down by the lake in the mud before reaching the water 'cause the last thing we need is drowning. And takes off his jacket so it stays dry]

[adharma]

[ kind of zoning out a bit, sorry to say. ]

It was just a little fun. But there's something . . . different about her. Maybe she doesn't feel pain . . . I kind of want to beat her, but I don't know if I can. Isn't that weird? I'm usually sure of what I can do, or what other people will do. I don't know how to go about this at all.

[good for you, I'm stripping you]

And I guess stopping hasn't occurred to you?

[adharma]

[ . . . so you are, here let me help. ]

Not before. I like interesting things.

[iwantyour]

This interesting thing might end up killing you. Stay here.

[I guess I'm using my own shirt as a rag since yours is all gooey and disgusting, goes get it wet]

[adharma]

Maybe I'm already dead.

[iwantyour]

That doesn't make it not matter.

[I have a wet shirt, I guess I'm cleaning you up :|]

[adharma]

[ I guess you are :|. I guess I am actually really feeling this broken knee and trying to not show it \:D/. owwwww ]

It doesn't . . . [ hfffff ] They can't know, Wrath will get himself killed.

[iwantyour]

I won't tell them. They gotta learn about this, though. Unless you want me to hide you somewhere while I go find Cinnamon.

[adharma]

She can't heal broken bone anyway. [ sssssiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhh, and scrubs at his face a bit with his hands. ] It hurts a lot.

[iwantyour]

[still cleaning off the blood. So much blood goddamn]

Sorry, I have no idea of what to do about broken knees. I'll take you to Ruby and get Cinnamon and maybe I can try sneaking you into the cavern later for a proper bath.

[adharma]

[ bites down on his lip for a moment before speaking. fffffffffffffffff. ]

. . . sorry.

[iwantyour]

[have a very careful hug]

[adharma]

[ fuck if i know what to do with hugs. doesn't quite know what expression to make either, it's either something really sad or something really happy. ]

Dammit.

[iwantyour]

[it's a shirtless hug too, should've thought that through better]

[adharma]

[ yay i am not the only one who makes bad decisions.

deeeeeeppppppp breathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay. ]

[iwantyour]

[recovers the CLEAN!1 jacket and covers him with it]

Better?

[adharma]

[ hunches his shoulders into the jacket, relaxing a little ]

Better and worse.

[iwantyour]

Why?

[adharma]

. . . I feel . . . really bad.

[iwantyour]

I'm sure you'll learn from it.

[materializes a shirt because showing up at Ruby half-naked would probably get me killed]
