[ another watch injury D: ]

Well normally ya tell me what day'a the week it is, but that works. 'least I know you're somewhat here.

Should at least stop the bleedin' in your side, though, else ya might end up faintin' 'fore we even get t' med.

[Bell just kind of sighs and rolls his eye at Youth's inability to answer the last question. Figures.]

He's as "here" as he will be.

[He nodded to Rabbit's suggestion and shifted his hold to give better access to Youth's wounded side.]

You want him sitting or standing for this?

[Youth shoots a slightly annoyed look at Bell. He knows he's being called a bit dense.]

Days do not always matter so much here...

[He tried to help Bell, but figured he was really only going to get in the way at this point.]

I've kept some pressure on it. Though I do not think it's been enough.

C'mon, kneel for a moment 'n I'll patch ya up enough for us t' get to med, 'kay?

[ he digs about in his med bag for rolls of gauze ]

[Bell ignores Youth's annoyed glance. There are more important things at the moment. Like getting Youth healed. While Rabbit fishes for bandages, Bell helps Youth into position. He's silent, attentive, and yet keeps a watchful eye on the surrounding area.]

[He nods. A bit clumsily Youth kneels, trying to cover up for it. He's not proud of being weakened, but there's not anything he can do about it. A short breath out was all that betrayed the pain he was in from his injuries.]

Try t' stay still, 'kay? [ rabbit does take note of that. he's extremely observant. he observes the wound youth has (oh man, what a wound) and chooses to wrap the gauze and bandages around the shirt. removing the shirt might reopen the wound. but first he felt delicately around the wound for breaks. ]

[It's worse than Bell thought it was. Perhaps its good that Youth has a medic now. Bell steadies Youth as best he can without disrupting any of the wounds, as Rabbit proceeds through his examination.]

How's it look?

I will. [He would have nodded, but that would be moving, and he's trying to cooperate. Youth grimaces as Rabbit tests the injury. Leaning just a bit on Bell, Youth focuses on staying upright.]

Red. And brown. [So what if Bell wasn't talking to him? He could still answer.]

[ definitely cracked. ]

I won't sugar coat it for ya. You'll definitely need stitches 'n lots'a rest. Your ribs're at least cracked.

[ man, wrapping this would be hard. He padded up the wounds then wrapped the gauze around his girth, taping the edges to keep the pads still. ]

[ Seren dashes to the housing level before checking her journal again, seeing the reply from Bell as to where she's going ]

[ She says this out loud to no one ] Our training has paid off, Youth, and now it will serve me to aid you. [ Then she looks for which direction she needs to go, speeding off in that direction ]

[ She finally hears two voices she doesn't know and 1 she does ] Youth...

[ She skids to a halt near all three men ] I am Seren. I offered to help carry Youth to the medical area.

[Profound observation, Youth. Really. Lucky you always sound like this, or Bell might have to actually worry about your mental state... But Youth's brave about it, and Bell expected no less.]

See. You'll be fine... Just a little banged up.

[And then, faster than he had ever seen anyone move... So this was Youth's training partner. He nodded once to acknowledge Seren.]

We'll have to be careful with him. He's got some cracked ribs.

How much is lots of rest? [He really wasn't partial to laying around for a while. Especially when he'd been attacked, and didn't know who was behind it. There was a slightly competitive edge to his thoughts, as well as some plain stubbornness.]

I did not think I would not be fine. And I cannot not be fine. I told Sailormoon and Cara and Blood I would be. Breaking my word would be bad.

Seren! [When she arrives he looks up from the painful work Rabbit is doing, and manages a thumbs-up.] I am glad to see you. And you did?

[ insert some time because i really don't know how long it takes to heal broken ribs D: ] 'n by rest, I mean, don't go runnin' 'round, liftin' stuff, 'n exertin' yourself.

[ he sure is stubborn. rabbit pretty much expects to see him in med again with a new injury shortly. he seems the type. ] Well, yeah, you're gonna be fine, but not right away, yanno?

[ he looks up at the white-haired woman. She sure was interesting. ] Sure could use a li'l help. Gotta be careful though. His sides wounded pretty badly.

[ She kneels beside Youth ] I will tell you precisely what I told Handmaiden. I shall keep track of the exercises you miss so that - when you are well - you may repent for being bedridden. That is how you can keep your promise to them, while swiftly recovering.

[ She looks between Rabbit and Bell ] What will be the best carrying position so as to not cause him more pain? Shall all three of us carry him together? Or should one carry him on his back? Or do we need a flat ... object of some sort with which to carry him while not jostling his wounds as much - I do not mean dragging it on the ground, but it would be better than stretching his limbs.

[Seren seemed to know how to deal with Youth. That was good, since Bell...could admit defeat and say he kind of didn't know what to offer his roommate as comforting words. Soothing or silly promises weren't his thing. Bell would just as soon hog-tie Youth to the bed to ensure he didn't move before he should.]

I would guess a stretcher of some sort. [He looked to Rabbit for confirmation, as he was the medic. This group of four, the structure of it, the dynamic, had a note of familiarity...like Seven's dream. Not now, though. He could think later.] I don't see how on one of our backs would do him much good. He should probably be as still as we can get him.

[Twenty-one days at least seemed a very long time for things to heal. Far too long to be resting, certainly. Three. That was a good number. He'd rest for three days and then make a break for it if he could. Youth could even try to start bargaining now.] Walking is not exerting myself. I could walk.

[He looked at Seren when she made her offer.] Thank you. That is a splendid idea! They can be totalled up and then I can work through them! [Okay. It hurt to speak with that much force. Maybe he should be a little less enthusiastic. For just a little bit.]

[But the turn of the conversation was a bit disheartening. He really was that injured; he'd lost completely against those things. Maybe three wasn't as good a number as he thought. Five? Surely not six. That was a lot of days to be spending on his back. Then again, he was leaning on Bell as it was, and they weren't at Medical yet. Leaning heavily, more than he'd realized. He'd need some sort of strength to leave.] How... still is still?

After a few days, I'd say walkin's acceptable. [ that is, of course, that the pain didn't keep him in bed in the first place.

[ rabbit glances around, considering what supplies they have near them. ]

Carryin' him on your back'd cause too much strain on his side. Normally there'd be a stretcher but we don't really have any supplies for one. We'll need t' send for one. Which one'a you two is fastest? [ he looks between the two white-haired people. ]

I do not know what a stretch is, but perhaps just a flat piece of wood would suffice, like... a door... I can remove the door from my room and bring it back - would that be acceptable?

Or... [She looks at Youth ] You wrote that your house is near. May I borrow a door from within, so that the exterior is preserved?

[ Looking at Bell now ] I do not know if I am faster than you, but I am willing to fetch some sort of 'stretcher' while you two prepare Youth to be moved.

[[OOC: Feel free to godmod her running of as soon as someone chooses an idea, and she'll back in time for her next tag :3 ]]

The house is fine. Take my bedroom door. It's straight-ahead when you enter. The house is just up there, on the left [He gave her a number that was the house number and tossed her the keys.]

...You're probably faster anyway. Go ahead.

[Seren maybe didn't know what a stretcher was, and Bell wasn't sure he wanted to wait for her to get one from the medical area, but she knew the gist of what they needed. The door would suffice.]

[After she took off for their house, Bell looked past Youth to Rabbit.]

He should lay flat and we'll lift him onto the stretcher, right? Or do we want to just wait and let him climb on?

That is good ...to hear. [He'd push it, probably, as soon as he could. Right now he wasn't all that sure how soon that would be, but Youth liked to focus optimistically on the future.]

[At Seren's question and Bell's response, Youth inclined his head, indicating Bell.] We're housemates. Same house.

Do I get my question answered? [Youth wasn't sure if he should be bothered or not that they were talking about him, above him, instead of to him so much. But things were a little fuzzy and he was more or less content to wait while wondering how still he needed to be.]

A door'll do. Prolly roll him onto it. Won't be as comfortable as a stretcher but it works. [ he's not sure what they have against stretchers. then they're all pretty eccentric ]

[ and to youth. ] Well ya can move 'round, 'course, but ya should do it within moderation. Don't hurt yourself.

[ Seren easily catches the keys (huzzah for hand-eye coordination!) and ran off, counted to find their house, then let herself in. 6 seconds.

A quick-step forward and she finds Bell's door, grateful that the style is one she recognizes. Pulling out the appropriate tool from her scavenger's tool-belt, she gets one hinge off. 12 seconds.

The other two hinges come off. 18 seconds.

She eases it onto her head and balances it there with both hands, kneels to pick up the keys, and moves outside of the front door to lock it again. 24 seconds.

She runs back to where the three men are waiting with Bell's keys in her pocket and the door on her head, reaching them approximately 30 seconds after she left and only slightly winded, mostly in awe at her speed at this point. ]

I... have returned...

[ She lays the door on the ground near Youth, ready to move it closer when whichever character is on that side moves. Then she digs into her pocket to hand Bell back his keys. ]

[Bell just nodded, taking the medic's decision as something like orders. Then, to Youth.]

But you move too much, and I'll have to tie you down, hm? [His eye scrunches into a crescent shape. He's smiling, sort of.

And before anything more can be said, Seren is back. He accepts his keys and looks to Rabbit.]

We'll move him together? [Waiting for the other's aide, so as not to jar Youth more than necessary, he helps Youth lay down on the make-shift stretcher]

[Youth blinks. Sometimes he isn't sure when Bell is serious or when he's teasing.]

I do not need to be tied down. I can assess my... [He lost the word. Oh well. He could. In fact, right now, he's only dealing with the loss of adrenaline. Since he was no longer in the middle of a fight, the tiredness was setting in.

He's surprised at how fast Seren moved. Clearly he needs to train with her more. But before he can comment, Bell's moving him. Youth tries to help, but he's pretty sure he's getting in the way. It takes effort, but he forces himself to relax and let Bell move him.]
