Lana entered the room with Brutus following her. He'd brought honey....she didn't remember asking him to but...that was good since Loz might need the Codeine. She closed the door behind her then glanced at the couch where Loz was laying. She blinked, shocked, he wasn't in a full suit of leather....he...had skin....on places other than his head! Instinctively Lana had known that but for some reason actually seeing said skin shocked her senseless. She was so used to him being a head on a body of black leather. Her eyes ran up his cut up arms. It looked painful but not entirely serious.

She couldn't help but notice how incredibly muscular Loz was....and that shirt looked. LANA! She scolded herself internally. She couldn't help it, though! She was a girl! And he and his brothers were Un-be-lievably attractive. She couldn't help the fact that they were two even though thinking about that made her very uncomfortable with finding them so attractive.

She managed to smile at Loz and walked forward, pulling out a chair to sit a few feet from him, "Those are some nasty cuts, that's for sure, are those the only ones you have?"

Loz sat up on the couch with a bit of a grimace. That large one across his chest really got to him. He wasn't used to pain. His body was like a tank, but Hichigo managed to get through that tank-like exterior, past the protective leather top, and cut into his skin.

He looked at his arms when Lana mentioned them. "These?" he said. "This is nothing." And that wasn't just his ego talking. He'd had worse ~ falling from high heights, being thrown against walls, falling of motorbikes, the works ~ and he had a few scars to prove it. "This one's better," he said, pulling up his tanktop. He was rather proud of the large one. There were others, many others. Most were new but there were several old ones scattered about. Surviving an attack like that and finding a playmate capable of it thrilled Loz. He was happy to have a new playmate, although he was almost certain that his brothers would never let him play with Hichigo again.

Lana lept up from her chair and kind of tried to back over it, causing her to trip and fall back into it, "HOLY SHIT!"

She looked at Brutus, "More bandages and...." She glanced back at Loz, "Something.....for stitching maybe....or...butterfly bandages, I don't know get everything you can get your ...hands? on."

Lana looked back at Loz and snatched the honey and codeine then set to work crushing some immediately. She didn't know how she was supposed to stitch Loz up, she'd only ever stitched a horse before...but she didn't figure Loz would let anyone else but maybe his brothers who she was certain weren't familiar with such things. She glanced up at Loz then with a shudder began to crush faster. She doubted he'd let HER stitch them up. She still had to convince him to let her touch him.

She handed the honey, pain killer mix to Loz, "Eat this, it will help." She glanced at the couch then the bed. "And...can I convince you to go lay on the bed, please? It'll be really hard to fix any of those where you are."

[asobu_ka]

He frowned. That wasn't quite the reaction he expected. She was now supposed to show him a scar of hers and they'd compete with each other. But oh well.

He pulled his shirt back down and reached for the sweet Lana offered her. He took a spoonful then frowned at her. "I'm bored with the bedroom. And I'm fine anyway," he said, rubbing his chest, then flinching at the pain. He growled at the pain then ate another spoonful of the honey.

Lana looked at him sternly. "You may be okay right now, Loz, but those are big cuts and if any get infected they might never heal and you'll have to get your chest amputated or you'll die." She decided that being dramatic worked with other two year olds, why not Loz?
It didn't matter that a chest couldn't be amputated. It was a big scary word and perhaps it would startle Loz into letting her fix him.

Probably not...but it was worth a try. And if it didn't work she still had an entire bag of candy to bribe him with.

[asobu_ka]

Unfortunately Loz wasn't a normal 2-year-old. He didnt understand what the word amputated meant. Nor did he get infected either. He was used to materia and potions, not this other bizarre stuff. Either way, he didn't get what the big deal was anyway.

But the codene was starting to take effect. As he shrugged at her response, his chest didn't hurt as much. Huh, this stuff was better than that advil.

[percipience]

Lana decided to take another tactic and her face fell into a hurt expression. "Please let me help you, Loz. Your brothers would be displeased with us if we didn't fix you at least a little bit."

She wanted the candy bribe to be a last resort because she really would probably need her entire arsenal of convincing methods to get him to let her touch him to clean and bandage the wounds. Only the ones on his chest, though. His arms seemed to be doing well enough on their own.

[asobu_ka]

Oh now that hit the spot. Loz knew that she was friends with Kadaj and she'd probably tell Kadaj something. and then Loz'd get fussed at. Again.

Loz frowned. "Fine," he scoffed. That was a low blow that Loz couldn't even fight against. And the codene was beginning to take effect on his mind and he just couldn't find a means to fight back anyway.

[percipience]

Lana smiled brightly at him. Yes, that had worked. She would have to use that in the future.....but she would save it for almost last resorts. It seemed a little...cheap.

She nodded, "Thank you, Loz. All you have to do is take off that shirt and sit on the bed instead. You can even take your journal with you."

Lana stood up herself and looked toward the door, waiting for Brutus to arrive. She rolled up her sleeves and disappeared into the bathroom to wash her hands. She wasn't going to be the cause of getting the wounds dirty. She tried to look at nothing but the sink upon entering the bathroom. She didn't want to know what was in Loz's bathroom. She preferred that stay a complete and total mystery to her.

She walked back out shaking her hands and waiting for them to dry. Finding a towel would have required looking around.

[asobu_ka]

Loz blinked. Take off his shirt? What did she plan on doing to him? Wait, Yazoo had done something similar when he practically carried Loz home the day before and that required... touching. Touching hurt, but at the moment, with this special honey, Loz felt that touching wouldn't hurt too much so he decided to comply, especially if he got a treat in the end.

On his chest was one rather large wound with several small wounds crossing across the large one. There were a few scars as well, from various battles, one across his left shoulder down the side that appeared more of a burn than anything else. There were several others, but none as noticeable.

Brutus returned almost the moment that Loz was back on the bed, carting more bandages and a bowl of what appeared to be warm water. Lana took them from him and thanked him. He went and stood in the corner in case he was needed for further tasks. Lana liked this ghost. He seemed to be more attuned to her needs than the others...probably because she wouldn't let the others near her.

She walked over to the bed with the new bandages and knelt on it next to Loz. She was careful not to brush him with her skin just yet. She set the supplies aside then paused. "Now...Loz...I'm going to have to touch you to do this...but I promise that I will do my best not to hurt. And if you're really good I'll give you that whole bag of candy, alright?"

She gestured over her shoulder at the bag of candy.

[asobu_ka]

At first he stuck his foot out against her to keep her away from him, but the candy was really really tempting. He looked at the candy, then looked at her, then back to the candy. "Fine, candy," Loz said, withdrawing his foot. If she did anything funny he'd smash her where she knelt.

[percipience]

Lana took the water and the rag that Brutus had brought and scooted forward slightly. She paused with the warm rag above his chest. She glanced at him, "This shouldn't hurt much. If it starts hurting a lot tell me, okay? And I'll stop. That might mean there's something else wrong."

She hoped and prayed to anything that would listen that he hadn't broken any ribs. Trying to get him to allow someone to fix that might be disastrous.

She then set to work cleaning out the small gashes. It was strange to see the skin that was usually hidden beneath Loz's leather..it was even stranger to be touching him..especially without him obliterating her for doing so. She marvelled at how solid he was. He almost didn't feel like real flesh beneath her fingers. It was amazing. The smaller wounds weren't so bad, really, they would probably heal normally without any form of stitches. She would just wrap the part of his torso that was worst affected in bandages and in a couple of days they would probably no longer need it...that big gash however.

She hesitated before touching it then even more gently than she'd approached the others began to clean it as well. It probably hurt more than the other ones did to clean but her hands were fast and gentle and she hoped it didn't hurt too badly. She reached out and brushed his burn scar when she was through and set aside the water. "Do you mind me asking what that scar is from?" she asked curiously. She thought it would probably be best to distract Loz while she worked, even if he had agreed to let her touch him. She picked up the neosporin and a bandage as she waited for the answer.
