Open RP: Leather and a Big Sword in the Hospital Wing

[last_akkadian]

((Backdated to just after this.))Mathayus made his way to the Hospital Wing, arm still bleeding freely where Brienne had clipped him. Under normal circumstances he wouldn't bother - his constitution was preternaturally strong, and certainly he'd been wounded before; but then under normal circumstances he'd be living in a yurt in the desert and

Brienne was quick to hurry after Mathayus, after getting her clothes more or less straightened. She wanted to make sure he actually went to the hospital wing, and was relieved to see that this was, in fact, the direction he was going.

Taking a deep breath to brace herself, she caught up with him. "I'm sorry," she said abruptly. "I really shouldn't have gotten that distracted... I shouldn't have been that careless and..." Not knowing what else to appologize for, she simply ended lamely, "I'm sorry."

"What, this?" Mathayus gave her a friendly grin, white teeth gleaming. "Just a scratch. I'm only here because you seemed like you were going to destroy all your clothes if I didn't. Not that I would mind," he added with a chuckle. "Far be it from me to stop a lady getting naked. But I thought you'd be mad at me again later."

Brienne was relieved at his easy acceptance of her apology, although once he started speaking, she did find herself blanching at his comments about getting her naked. But she was tired of fighting with him, and so she rubbed her temples, sighed wearily and said quietly, "I wish you wouldn't mock me."

Mathayus paused, looking at her. "Brienne." He waited until she stopped rubbing her temples. "I'm not mocking you. I'm kidding around with you." He smiled, this time kindly. "It's what friends do."

He raised his uninjured hand, palm out, in a gesture of surrender. "Okay. All kidding aside: you're a damn good swordswoman. I'd spar with you again, anytime you say. All right?" That dispensed with, Mathayus looked around the infirmary again. "You think there's anybody here?"

KOS-MOS, on her usual patrolling around Hogwarts, entered the hospital wing. She momentarily stopped, assessing the people in there. Noting their weapons, KOS-MOS was on her guard.

"State your name and purpose for being here."

Mathayus gave her a look; he thought it was sort of obvious, given the blood. "Mathayus. I'm wounded. You the healer?" If she was, he didn't think much of her observational skills.

[kosmosmagdalene]

"I am not the school nurse. However, if you require healing, I can heal you."

Mathayus would have folded his arms skeptically, except it hurt. "And how will you do that?"
