...I don't see why you should have been yelled at for that. Sure, maybe it wasn't intended for watermelons, but it was sort of like training, wasn't it?
And it gave you practice with operating it.

[ He snorts. ]
Misusing city defense equipment for ridiculous banter isn't grounds for an angry senior knight to you? I'm sorry to remind you, but they all have sticks up their arses.

I have a hard time imagining it... if one of General Lin's men did something like that, I feel like he'd try to find some strategic way to use watermelons in a battle. It would definitely surprise the enemy!
Find a strategic way to fight steinbocks and dragons with watermelons?
[ He's joking, this isn't true disbelief. But it sounds ridiculous don't it. ]
Your General Lin seems far more lax... or perhaps, he's just odd.

He is a little odd.
[she is so rude.]
...but his opponents are other humans, not dragons and... I don't know what a steinbock is.

[ She can't be rude when Estinien is the one who just went 'maybe your commander is just a weird guy'.
Estinien here trying to figure out how he should describe a steinbock. ]
...It's something of a deer-like animal.
[ Antelope would be a better approximation actually but hey. ]

[help every time i open this log now i see the cap of our mingle thread and think i'm on the mingle]
I see... "deer-like," though? Is it much large than them?

[i truly want to believe estinien actually went to the medbay but just in case he didn't. hello. jiuqing is wherever he happens to be, come to check on him.]
[ You're right this catchall image really gets me every single time thinking it's the real thread help.
And no I'm sorry to disappoint you but he did not. The medbay seems crowded with people who need it way more than him, and his injuries are most definitely way lighter than everyone else.
He's at the edge of the skate park, removed from everyone else! But he didn't completely leave because Bass puppydog eyed him. So, instead he's by himself, stop sign still here, picking out odd shards from his injuries.
They look like letters... ]

[I KNOW IT KEEPS THROWING ME OFF SO BAD
anyway]
...Estinien.

...Estinien.
[ He glances up at her, and there's just this grunt of greeting. ]
Jiuqing.
[ On the ground before him, the letters are... well I don't want to figure out the logistics of which letters are still stuck in him and what he picked out, and also don't want to make you do a letter-scramble puzzle, so she'll be able to parse that they likely spell out 'I DON'T FEEL REAL'. ]

[you're a kinder person than me i absolutely would have made whoever pced with me do a scramble puzzle]
...you know, the easiest way to head off any worrying from anyone else would be for you to be able to say, "I already let Doctor Su see to my injuries."

[ He snorts -- at least he's well enough to find humour in that, apparently. ]
Allowing me to use your name as an excuse to escape, then?
Allowing me to use your name as an excuse to escape, then?
Well, I have a reputation as a doctor to upkeep, so I can't let you use my name if you're not well.
But if you allow me to examine and treat you, I promise I'll be quick and efficient about it, and I won't nag you about your injuries.

[ ... ]
I'd rather not be touched at the moment.
[ She can like, insist and look anyway, but he will be stiff and uncomfortable is all, and that's what he's alluding to. ]

If you're able to move well enough to show me your injuries, I may be able to instruct you on treating them yourself. But if your injuries restrict your movement, it may be unavoidable.
I'll make it quick, though, if I do have to touch you. I just want to help.

I know you do.
[ He concedes that, even with the surliness that he has. Estinien understands Jiuqing is doing her best and only has the best intentions... she's the best. But okay, he gestures.
He has several cuts around his neck, shoulders, and chest area, though the amount of blood on his shirt seems disproportionate to their current state. He also tucks some hair behind one ear and she'll see that there's a wound there, like... a hole of some projectile blasting and nicking his ear. Truly the saddest injury :(. There's also dried blood coming out of said ear. ]
Your diagnosis, doctor?
[ He says, wry, more on own behalf rather than at her. ]

...at the very least, we'll need to do something about your ear. It's actively bleeding.
The cuts will need to be cleaned, as well, but if you're able to reach them, I can probably just give you the disinfectant for it...
[she'll start sorting out the supplies at least. these will be treated one way or another especially if he won't get into a pod tonight.]

I was planning on getting bandages as soon as I was allowed to leave here.
[ Mildly sourly. He could just ignore Bass and Aymeric and just leave on his own, but he can't, for reasons. Mostly because of Bass. He touches his ear, wiping off some of that with a grimace. ]
From the explosion, I'd wager.
[ Tinnitus... ]

Well, it's your lucky day.
[she produces a roll of bandages from her bag.]
I've made it a habit to start taking supplies from the medical bay when I wake up on Thursdays. So... here, we'll use this.
[as for his ear... hmm. bandaging it up might be a little tricky, but they'll need to clean it and figure out a way to do that.]
...do what you can reach first. I'll supervise, and I'll assist with anything you need me to.
[that way they can keep the touching to a minimum.]

[ Yes'm. ]
You're well-prepared.
[ Mild. But sure, he will remove the rest of these letters and give a cursory touch around to make sure he's gotten all of them out, before taking disinfectant and bandages as required. Most people would be gentle about wound treating but this man just out here taking the antiseptic straight to the wounds with no hesitation like a champ, or an idiot.
And wrapping as necessary. The neck is easy. The shoulder and upper chest part is a bit of a struggle, but he does a pretty decent job, all things considered. Jiuqing can judge his wrapping skill, he's no doctor but he at least has passing first aid familiarity probably. ]

It would be negligent of me not to be, at this point, I think...
[people have been coming back brutalized with such regularity that if she ever just showed up empty handed on thursday it would be a giant "fuck you" to whoever was coming back.
anyway, she winces a little when he applies the antiseptic directly - SIR? - but the treatment is done well enough, so she won't mind it if he says she checked his wounds out to get people off his back. the ear is another matter.]
That will do... but I'm afraid I will need to touch you to see to your ear. It will only be a few moments.

[ That would've been so funny. Jiuqing with her bag full of medical supplies, seeing Garou walk out: sorry I forgot everything today.
It's fine, Estinien has high tolerance but little patience. It's on himself so it's okay. Regarding the ear, Estinien just... nods. He's prepared for this so though he's still stiff, he will allow it. ]
Do as you must.

[honestly,]
Alright.
[she gets to work then! she'll be quick about it. a cursory google search tells me adhesive bandages/gauze pads are good for external ear injuries, so she'll get in quickly, clean it out, apply that, and then back off.]
...there. Now if anyone gives you grief about your injuries, you can honestly tell them I helped you, and I'll back you up.

[ I'm so glad she gave him these rights because he immediately used it on Bass. Just instant 'Jiuqing looked me over stop nagging'.
He reaches up and touches his ear... HIS BANDAGED EAR. A much better job than he did for himself but that's to be expected. He nods at her, short but not too curt, because he does appreciate it. ]
My thanks, Ser Jiuqing.
