W-Wait, actually... maybe I can patch it up myself. How hard could that be?
[ Unfortunately, he's also a huge baby. ]
no subject
[But she places everything that she's found next to him where he's seated turning on her heel to face towards the door.]
If you can do it on your own, then do it--I'll keep watch on the door. Yell for me if you find yourself failing at the task, though. Because I don't want you bleeding out to death when you owe me.
1/3
Yes, seriously. ]
Thanks.
[ With her back away from him, he starts on removing his shirt and glancing down at the stuff beside him. Let's see... he's not a doctor or anything, but this much really shouldn't be too hard. Start with disinfecting the wound, right? ]
You should know, it's not because I don't trust you to do this, but--
no subject
It's just that IiiiiIIIIIIIT HURTS--
[ And with his free hand, he immediately slams his hand over his mouth, trying not to make ANY MORE SOUND THAN THAT because holy shit that stings...! ]
no subject
A...Alright. Sorry.
[ He's resigning himself. This was really... much more important than his image here. Not like anyone's opinion of him can get much lower. ]
...Please help.
no subject
Inaba sighs and turns around with a sigh, hands on her waist.]
Let me see it, then.
[The good thing is that she doesn't seem to be judging or scrutinizing him.]
Well... the good news is that you'll be fine after a few days. But the ointment is going to sting even if I do it, so you're going to have to bear with it.
no subject
[ He tries to brace himself, but in the process, just... sighs. ]
Pathetic. Isn't it?
no subject
[She asks the question as she goes on ahead to continue where he left off with the disinfectment.]
no subject
Me. This situation. It's pathetic, isn't it?
no subject
[Her voice is quiet, but honestly even as she continues her work. She's has to treat idiots (read as: her boyfriend) before, so this is honestly not something new for her; it's easy for her to do this while talking, and she doesn't seem bothered in the slightest.]
Rather, I think the situation you were forced into in is bullshit. To be honest, I'd argue that you were just... unfortunately convenient.
no subject
Even so. ]
Ow--
I hoped this wouldn't be so hard to figure out, and that there was something I could do to make this right. Ultimately, I just made things worse for myself and muddied up so much.
I'm so used to having a team behind me, that there's nothing I can do on my own.
[ It's frustrating. Some genius, unable to talk his way out of these things. He always knew it, but he hadn't realized exactly how much he leaned on his friends for support. ]
no subject
[It's hilarious, though--the irony in the words that Inaba says. As someone who basically isolates herself from everyone else and yet understands this much.]
no subject
That depends on who I ask, I guess.
[ There's a large group of people he wouldn't ask for literally anything, but. It's funny to him. ]
I guess this is going to cost me another favor, isn't it?
no subject
[But then he asks if it's going to cost him another favor. And while that is a little tempting-]
It isn't. Consider this a freebie.
no subject
[ Not that he knows what she'd even ask for. How bad could that be? ]
I guess the point I'm trying to make is... I'm a little surprised. For as distant as you seem, you're fairly reliable.
no subject
[She answers in a sing-song voice, but she makes it rather obvious that she is just saying it in jest.]
Is it really that surprising? I just simply did it because I'd benefit from it, that's all.
[Liar.]
Well, I'm also just not a huge fan of murder. It's seriously abnormal how so many people's first instinct is "yes, I'm going to fucking stab someone or something".
[Not going to say anything about how reliable she is or anything because she has a lot of mixed feelings on that front; many that float to the surface.]
--okay, looks like we just need to bandage it and then we'll be done with that.
no subject
[ Probably better to not make fun of the person taking care of your bandages. Really, the words are so familiar that it's almost troubling, but it's also still endearing from a base standpoint.
She's absolutely lying, but he'll let that slide. ]
As much as I hate it, apparently there were some incentives in place. Add in paranoia and revenge, and... unfortunately, it becomes that much more appealing.
no subject
[Inaba's quiet for a moment, deep in thought as she runs things over in her head.]
In his particular case, I suppose I understand. When you've already lost something important to you--and then someone who was considered a potential culprit brings you back to the scene of the crime alone, a lot of assumptions can be made there. The thoughts of "what if this person is doing this to kill me next" and "if I don't do something, then I'll die", things like that. You can probably argue that revenge was also a thought, too--there's a lot going on. But even if I can understand it...
[Her words trail off, and her gaze is distant, a little pitiful.]
...it's sad that anything has to come to that.
