WHAT SHENANIGANS
WHERE bed
WHEN 88...early....

[Hey someone is your bed!

Or you're in their bed!

Maybe several people are all in one bed.

How did they/you get there? Who cares? Maybe go back to sleep, or something else. You can't seem the leave the bedroom until dawn and there are a few hours to go.]

[After a quick survey, they perch on the arm of the couch, pulling their shirt up their hip to start peeling back the gauze.

They did pull a stitch.]

[ a low "tsk", going to slice the stitches ]

You do have to be careful with these in.

[Laughs softly, keeping obediently still, shirt pooled between their thighs.]

Sorry. You should really stop treating me for free.

[They don't sound particularly sorry.]

I can make some concessions for a friend.

[ look he knows how friendship works!! he's wiping away the excess blood again before starting to clean it ]

[Sniper is a good patient; only their foot twitches a little at the sting.]

Good. I don't want to push my luck, but I'm probably a hopeless patient.

I can forgive you in this case, if the stitches were torn as you got out of bed. But did you do any other physical activity...?

It's possible I tore them before that. It's hard for me to sit around, given how boring this place is naturally.

[There WAS fresh blood but also definitely dried blood.]

My student might recommend you try to visit the hospital at this point.

[ grabbin stitches ]

I like the personalized care you give, Mori-sensei.

I'm touched. You will have to be more careful, though.

I'll try, but no promises.

What if I prescribed proper bed rest?

[ grabbing a needle to start stitching ]

It would need to be strongly worded and enforced. Something like this would have been gone in a couple days back home.

I'm afraid I don't know if I'm dedicated enough to be a stay at home nurse for you, to really enforce that.

[Sniper breathes steadily as the stitches get put back in.]

Of course not, you're a valuable public resource.

And ultimately ... It's not too serious of a wound. But it won't ever heal properly if you keep re-opening it.

[ TSK TSK ]

[Grins]

Think I'll get a scar?

You don't seem put off by the idea.

I think I'd look great with scars.

They can be quite gruesome, you know.

Do you have any?

Some! But I'm not much of a fighter.

Can I see...?

[ as he's finishing up the stitching; ]

Right now?

I can't think of a better time.
