[--snaps to attention, narrowing eyes. muttering;]

Of all people. . .

[a_mighty_oak]

I'm not--ah--but what's with... [GESTURES TO FACE]

[notonboard]

[keeping voice low]

... It's nothing. An accident.

[a_mighty_oak]

That's a serious accident!

[notonboard]

Obviously.

[... trying to stand up, carefully] There's -- a hospital? A place for bandages or something. Where?

[a_mighty_oak]

Of course there's a hospital, it's over there--[POINTS]

[looking vaguely in that direction, and seems to think better of something. for a split second, sie removes hir hands, exposing a cut that runs from the corner of hir mouth to--

sie covers it quickly with a portion of hir scarf. starting off in that direction.]

Thanks.

[RECOILING, FOR A MOMENT]

Wai--[h-hurrying after] What did you do!?

[notonboard]

[a short, disdainful look, but doesn't want to spend time protesting]

Didn't I say, it was an accident?

[a_mighty_oak]

You hurt yourself with something on accident?

[notonboard]

... sure.

[a_mighty_oak]

[...THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LIE...]

I'm asking so it doesn't happen to me.

[notonboard]

Accidents don't happen if you're careful.

[a_mighty_oak]

You shouldn't sound so high and mighty when obviously it's happened to you.

[notonboard]

Never said it didn't.
