But thankfully, Otome is a doctor and also a doctor in the middle of a gruesome demon crisis who has seen people with limbs torn off and intestines hanging out, so. She doesn't even flinch, just drops the Gross bandages and leans closer to begin wrapping the nice, clean ones. ]
It looks like whatever caused it struck fairly deep. Facial injuries also tend to bleed easily.
[ oh. thank you. he holds them awkwardly because he has to use his left hand, but he shoves them in his stupid cat ear hoodie ]
Thanks. [ he grimaces a little ] We spent... a few weeks in there. We didn't get all the wounds at once, but when we came out, it was like... we all got them today. [ he doesn't sound fully certain of how much time actually passed but the point is: yeah the effect ended and their lives suck ]
... But the stuff that was fully healed didn't come back, at least.
[ he kind of-- flinches, but not out of fear or anything, just surprise. because he had been looking away and so he totally missed it. wow. he misses peripheral vision? ]
... You couldn't have anyway. We weren't ... entirely ourselves.
[ he's blinking his one eye rapidly like thinking about it is sort of belatedly freaking him out ]
It's no problem. I taught a few people how to wrap injuries, if there's anyone you'd feel comfortable with helping you for a bit. But I'd also be happy to lend a hand with changing them.
[ this makes perfect sense but he's exhausted so he still squints ]
... Right. I-- Thank you. Sorry for the trouble. [ he huffs a little ] Yanagiya-san, how was everyone else? Taichi's group. I wasn't there so I didn't... see.
It was a little touch-and-go with Kainé, but they'll all be fine. They were just also a bit of a mess, like your group. Caleb might have mentioned the use of several healing spells, but then I did a little more treatment.
That's good. [ it's not quite the details he wanted, and after a moment of hesitation he-- leans into the touch ] ... It's a good thing everyone's better prepared now.
... Right. [ sorry he's too exhausted to offer any ideas right now? ] I don't think we can guess what goes on in those to better prepare. It's... weird.

[ for? the record? he guesses? he's being a good patient and letting her work without fussing even though it's not like he took ... painkillers... ]
But we were-- we were in there a while. It healed a bit. And then ... it was back to how it was at first when we got back.

... Then, after a pause, two more packs. ]
For tomorrow, eight hours in between. So it healed enough to let you make it through, but then the effect ended?
[ Wow. Hate that. ]

[ Sorry, she's just going to reach out to gently touch his cheek, eyes a little pained. ]
I'm sorry, Yamato-kun. What you went through sounds terrible, and I hate that I couldn't be there to help.

... The more I hear about these, the less I think I understand what they're even trying to accomplish.
no subject
To see what kind of person we are, I think.
[ it's pensive? but he shakes his head a little and, belated: ]
... I'm not going to see out of it again, am I?
no subject
[ Well, she's not a liar, so. ]
I'm slowly trying to save up vouchers to upgrade my healing ability, so when the time comes, I'll tend to your eye.
... For now, though, I think it's going to be a bit of an adjustment period.
no subject
[ so like. for bigger things! ]
no subject
[ we'll see what will need it by then, but his eye is on the list. ]
no subject
[ his hand kind of drifts to it and he blinks before putting it back down. going back a bit; ]
Thanks for the bandages. I didn't... I don't know who put them on the first time.
[ so he doesn't think he could've replicated it ]
no subject
[ Since she's a pro. ]
no subject
Oh. How often...? [ that feels like a stupid question so he trails off ] It's not like a band-aid, I guess.

I think at this point we can't say that it won't happen again, after all. So I'm going to see what I can do to help prepare.

... Do you think you'll be able to rest, Yamato-kun?
no subject
... I don't know. [ it's? honest? ] Tomorrow, there's...
[ thursdays suck actually ]
no subject
But that's all the more reason to get as much rest as you can. Granted, it's not exactly something you can force.
no subject
[ not that that is ... thrilling a prospect either but ]
no subject
[ She's being super, super careful but she's also pulling him into a gentle hug. ]
Thank you. I know it's a lot you're dealing with and you might feel overwhelmed right now...
But thank you, for making it back to us. We can take the rest one step at a time.
