seven cups of tea -- (Audio)

[stupid_hat]

[The communicator is turned on with a sounding clatter, and a soft cry is heard. Moment after moment, it proceeds to get louder -- a soft, keening wail.

It's the aftermath of Filia being rather painfully shot.

In her right shin.

Ow.]

I... ha... [She breathes out, and those listening can distinctly hear her trying to choke back tears.]What...

[bokuwadoctaaa]

H-Hello? What's wrong?

[stupid_hat]

[Ow, ow, ow. Gods, this hurts.]

A loud crack... I... it sounded, and then I-

[bokuwadoctaaa]

A loud crack?

You sound like you're hurt.

[stupid_hat]

My leg... [A soft grunt.] It is bleeding profusely, and by the heavens above -- it hurts.

1/2

[bokuwadoctaaa]

DOCTOR! SOMEONE GET A DOC--

[bokuwadoctaaa]

--ah, that's me!

Do you want me to go find you?! Unless you can have someone bring you to the hospital, I really should try to get over there myself!

[stupid_hat]

[Uh, how legit is this guy?] You'd... come and find me? Ah- well, all right, then. [She'd fuss more if he hadn't mentioned that he is a doctor of some sort.]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[The most legit doctor reindeer ever.]

I would! Can you tell me where you are? If it doesn't look familiar then you can just tell me a street sign or buildings. I know my way around the city really well!

[stupid_hat]

['Kay.]

Do... you know where a- the church is? I'm close to there; I think I can manage to get to the steps.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

I know! It's across from the high school. I'm in Marshall right now so I should be there really quickly!

sorry for the late! D:

[stupid_hat]

All right. I'll wait for you.

no worries :>

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Just as mentioned, a few minutes later Chopper ends up near the church. Unfortunately he was too impatient to ask who he was looking for but it just figures he should keep en eye out for someone injured.

...who he sees! I hope you don't mind a worried reindeer walking over to you right now.]

You're the one that's hurt, right?

t-thanks! ;u;

[stupid_hat]

[Hold up, yes, the person she recently spoke with had been... rather young-sounding, but a reindeer!?

Truly, Filia is shocked even further. Her kind eat creatures like him, after all.]

Y-yes...

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[A little too busy with his doctor routine, he doesn't notice how awkward the situation is, taking off his backpack and opening it to take out a cloth and a roll of bandages. First, he hands over the cloth.]

Well set that over the injury then I'll wrap it up for now. Does it still hurt? The hospital's not far from here, but do you think you could manage to walk there on your own? I... can't really help with that.

[Chopper looks down a little sheepishly. This size really gets annoying sometimes.]

[stupid_hat]

[Filia accepts it gratefully and hesitantly begins to apply the bandages to her wounded leg.]

I suppose... I could try. [Her voice hints exhaustion, but her expression is starting to harden with determination.]

Thank you.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Watching carefully to make sure the bandages are put on properly, he nods and offers a little smile, feeling relieved at the sudden change in attitude.]

You're welcome. ...ah, I'm Chopper! Nice to meet you! ...except it would have been better if we hadn't met like this, I guess. But it's still good that I came here.
