[He was actually going to turn this thing on to see if anybody needed any help getting to the clinic or something, but that changes pretty quickly. He sets the tablet down with a sharp intake of breath as he grabs his abdomen, just below his ribcage with a free hand. Even as he does, the deep red blood of a deep wound starts to spread into his

[Okay, this place? Officially really stressing her out.] Do... uhm. Do you need help?

[Why is there another kid here? Seriously, Underworld, this is getting old.] No, kid. I got this. Ain't like it's the first time. [A beat.] Thanks, though.

[And now the awkward soldier of fortune is looking for a shirt about 10 minutes later, because while the other had to come off for bandages...she's a kid.] Yeah, I'm sure, sweetie. [A pause.

[video]

[redheaded_rock]

Yeah, it wasn't pleasant when it happened.

[griftering]

How'd you break it? [And he's assuming she fell off her bike when she was a kid or something.]

[video]

[redheaded_rock]

[griftering]
