[UNFORTUNATELY THEY GET TO DEAL WITH HIM at his still-recovering-after-trial state considering they probably won't let him limp off to go be emo with his leg still wounded, so. He's here! And compliant. But he's very quiet AND APPARENTLY BUZEN'S BITS GO POOF SO HE CAN'T EVEN HAVE THAT.]

[impurities]

[ our poor nut... chang geng would have insisted that he be taken care of, though, considering how much blood there was. still is, really, considering his own bloody hands after all that.

he doesn't have any words of comfort to offer, not right away. buzen's gone, twice over, and it just feels - hollow. but he will continue a gentle touch as he starts to unwind the field dressing he'd applied in the hall. ]

[countermeasures]

[our poor nut :c while chang geng unwinds the field dressing, jiuqing readies supplies to clean out his injuries - it wouldn't do to have them get infected or something like that.



god are they just going to quietly patch him up while we all try to figure out who speaks first.]

[slashay]

[THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY.

But no, Kashuu will actually be the one to speak after a little while. He doesn't flinch or wince the entire time they're working, either - he really does have the kind of pain tolerance you'd expect from a being that just bodily throws himself into war and expects his undying meat house to make it out alive.]

--Thanks. Sorry... I didn't mean to cause any trouble.

[He just locks into Mission Mode when there are missions afoot and will always complete the missions without care toward himself.]

[impurities]

[ considering the fact that chang geng has seen people power through physical pain, has heard stories of soldiers on the battlefield doing impossible feats and surviving even more impossible things...

he's not surprised.

he does make a small noise, low in his throat, as he goes to strip that layer so that they can get to it. ]

The only trouble, if any, was trouble you caused for yourself. But thank you for letting us tend to you.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry, Kashuu.

[countermeasures]

You really don't need to apologize...

[like. yes, it was frightening to see him come back injured like that? but it's not like he went and got himself hurt just for kicks, and he had a good reason to want to not derail. they had so little time to work with.]

But I agree with Sir Chang. Thank you, Kashuu, for allowing us to help you.

[slashay]

[It's a gnarly injury, now that they can see it properly! About what you'd expect from a whole piece of metal just being shot at fuckin hypersonic teacup speed through someone's leg. At least it's nice and clean.]

It's fine - I know I needed repairs.

[He bled a lot all over the place and all over his potato, but it's fine. At least it didn't get any worse...]

--You don't need to apologize either, though. [To Chang Geng. And then, bluntly:] I don't really wanna hear any more sorries.

[impurities]

[ a small, humorless huff. ]

Then, that we couldn't treat you more quickly. [ so that he could have done something, anything, when the truth came out, rather than for the loss that he experienced today. ] And for the rotten luck - but this is clean if nothing else. You might want to spend some time in the healing pod, for further repair, but it didn't hit anything life threatening.

[ he moves aside to make room for jiuqing, for what they can do for him in the meantime. ]

[examining his wound.... yeah. pretty gnarly injury, but the cleanliness is a blessing.]

This is certainly treatable.

[she's doing something with it. what is she doing? don't fucking ask me, it's 9:30 pm and i don't actually know shit about wound care. she's doing her doctor thing i don't know. help.]

But I do agree with Sir Chang's assessment that the healing pod would be a good idea. This will heal with time, but there's no sense in waiting that long when you don't need to.

[slashay]

[yeah this leg injury stood between him and a midtrial damn u all :\

Kashuu's very still as she works, though! Her woolooloo doctoring... He also reaches out to gently tap the back of Chang Geng's hand, as if to quietly thank him for the concern, and for voicing the apology, even if he's exhausted of being reminded of his loss.

Though, when it comes to the healing pod...]

...I don't want it to go away yet.

[With Buzen's sword and body gone, it's the last tangible thing from him. A last solid, physical mark on this world.]
