sponsoredby | week 2 curfew ; gardens (west)

[ After the request for something more private and Sholmes suggesting the gardens, they've found themselves there.

He's deeply concerned for Nero, glancing at Sholmes as they usher him toward one of the seats. ]

[He shakes his head as he walks, making sure to keep an eye on Nero.]

I do say, I would not want to have this as a weekly occurrence, but it seems we must be prepared for these as well. How terrible.

[He sits once they get to an appropriate spot, Tsurumaru's cloak wrapped over his shoulders for the moment.

Nero's hand has not moved away from his stomach this entire time.]

Looks like it.

[ Looks like we're stomach injury buddies now.

He's going to be kneeling down in front of Nero, but also looks at Sholmes, getting the supplies out of his bag. He holds them and gives Sholmes a look, wondering how much experience he has on this.

Meanwhile, Finley is behind Kotetsu just pacing back and forth, worried. ]

[He's also bending down to look at Nero.]

Nero, we must see how drastic your wound is. [And he glances to Kotetsu.] I'm not the doctor in the family...but I can staunch a wound and dress it, at the very least.

[He makes a little tsking noise, but pulls his hand away from the wound. Slowly he starts pulling off the cloak, his outer shirt, and his under shirt.

It's a deep knife wound to his stomach.

It also looks like he got the shit beat out of him, considering all the bruises.]

You can see it, right?

We see it.

[ He makes sure to give Sholmes enough space to work and hands the kit over to him. Once they've seen the wound, he reaches forward to put his hand on Nero's stomach. No reason to let him keep bleeding while Sholmes gets the supplies readied.

He's sure Nero doesn't want too much contact, but it's easier this way. And he can help take care of the wound however Sholmes tells him to. ]

Indeed we can. Explain...what stabbed you?

[He's going to take some of the gauze to clean the wound and staunch it a little, shaking his head.]

We need someone to stitch this up. Do we have a needle or thread? Sutures, perhaps?

A knife.

[For some reason he seems satisfied with this answer.]

The first aid kits didn't come with that, huh?

What's in there is what I have, unfortunately.

[ But his head tilts a little. ]

What kind of knife?

The steak kind.

...Really?

Why would I lie about this?

Ah, it was more of being surprised. What happened in there?

Unless you'd rather not...

[The idea of talking about it now...

He shakes his head.]

Later.

[Kim was trying to get to the east side, but to no avail. He starts walking back this way... and seeing the men crowded around a very wounded Nero, breaks into a jog to quickly join them.

As luck would have it, he's here just in time to hear that.]

... I have a needle and thread. But doing this outdoors...

[He frowns, but he sets down his satchel and starts taking things out.]

Anything else need attention?

[There's a couple shallow piercing injuries, now that his shirt is off. But nothing quite as bad as the knife. The bruises are there.]

Nah. Just this.

Okay...

[He finds the needle and thread. Fortunately, he's been wrapping his tools so they don't contaminate each other, but this still isn't the best environment...]

Looks like the bleeding's been stopped. Good.

If you're ready, I can do this, but I should warn you. It won't be pretty.

Figured.

[He sighs, but prepares himself for the stitches.]

I'll talk to a watcher once they're available again.

Good plan. I'd try asking Satariel -- though I'm sure any of them would be willing to help.

[He's threading the needle as he talks.]

Talk to them a lot...?

A little. I asked if they had any specialties; first aid was mentioned.

Try not to move. ['Cause he's about to get started. This probably super sucks.]

I've got some painkillers that you guys can use. That might help out.

[ He chimes in from the side. Maybe not for relief now, but eventually... ]

Thanks.

[A pause... and then he turns his head to look at him.]

They're not the ones you're supposed to be using for your own injuries, are they?

[ He holds up both of his hands sheepishly. ]

I got some help with some healing. I'm doing a lot better than that first night.
