[ the mention of an injury has him going quiet. he pauses, glancing down at himself. he'd been so fixated on the air being ripped out of him that it takes staring directly at the wound, focusing on it, to even register that the distant stinging he'd felt belonged to him at all.
after cycling through as many timelines as he has and experiencing the majority of them in the late stages of oripathy, minor wounds really aren't anything. he'd forgotten. so many things he'd done to hide the peculiarities he'd built up discarded the moment he'd grew too comfortable. stupid. ]
… Oh. [ he wants to say it looks worse than it is, but now isn't the time. ] We can get everything else done first.
[ not a no, not a dismissal. an improvement over the usual response. yes!!! ]
Thinking about it… if we wanted to make the best use of a medic's time, shouldn't I be the one to break it to the others? If they feel like they need to beat someone up, it'll only be one person they'll have to patch up as opposed to two.
