[The first thought that comes to mind upon seeing the fluffy-scientist would have to be, 'Zombie'. James is walking in a pained hop-step, his right foot obviously damaged, and he seems to have ripped his Malnosso gifted shirt into some rather make-shift bandages around his middle, most of them showing rather worrying red stains. Besides all his

...James?

James! Where are you?!

[keusrai]

Alright, let's go then... [Attempting to offer up even more support - he's not above even carrying James - he slowly makes his way up the stairs, trying to make sure his roommate doesn't slip or fall.]

[james_morph]

...Thanks for this Keu.

[He looks at him for a quick moment before looking away again]

[keusrai]

[...Not sure what to make of that just yet, but that's something to think about for later. Right now, getting James home safely is more important.

It doesn't take long before they get to the apartment itself; there, Keu helps James over to the couch and starts to get some water warmed up for cleaning him up.]

[james_morph]

[He sinks into the couch gratefully, quickly laying out so there wasn't any pressure on his newly healing ribs and horrifically damaged foot]

Fuck that hurts... [He lifts a paw up to rub gently at his temple where a headache was threatening to explode]

[keusrai]

[That foot is hard to look at... It reminds him of his own "quality time" with the Malnosso. With a blue shimmer, he's going to summon a few strips of cloth to serve as bandages, though he doesn't apply them yet. The water's not ready.]

I'm going to make some tea. Do you think you'd be able to drink some?

[james_morph]

Yeah. There's some English Breakfast tea somewhere in there..

[He gets a little distracted by the summoning of cloth] How did you do that?

[keusrai]

Magic. [He seems too focused to really offer an explanation. He heads back to the kitchen briefly, returning with a container of hot water and a cloth or two; these he puts to work cleaning that lovely blood off.] The tea'll be ready in a couple minutes, so relax until then. [Although, judging by the scent of it, it almost seems like he completely screwed that up. There's an acrid, bitter smell in the air.]

[james_morph]

Umm... Keu... what did you do to the tea?

[He's watching apprehensively as Keu cleans his foot, his teeth baring a little every time the cloth gets too close to the actual injury. He's also got a paw slowly drifting up to cover his nose as the smell gets kinda potent]

[keusrai]

I'm brewing something that should act as a disinfectant. By the look of these wounds, you're going to need it. The tea itself is fine. [Keu finishes the cleaning for the moment and goes to retrieve a teapot and another cloth from the kitchen; it's definitely the source of that pungent smell.]

[james_morph]

[He wrinkles his nose] I'm gonna have ta get a new teapot after this..

[For the moment he seems to be content in just closing his eyes and breathing as carefully as possible while Keu goes about his work]

[keusrai]

I'll scrub it out afterwards. [Pouring some of the acrid liquid into the cloth, he kneels down.] ...This is going to hurt for a while, but it should numb the existing pain after that. [Hoping that he brewed the stuff right, Keu's going to start cleaning out the wounds, bandaging them with the strips of cloth he summoned earlier.]

[james_morph]

[His ears shoot upright as the stuff touches his foot, his fur rippling and exploding in color, his face twisting into a wince as he bares his teeth at the pain]

...Ow. [He enunciates clearly]

[keusrai]

I'm almost done. Hang in there. [He's moving to the other, smaller wounds, which shouldn't take long.]

[james_morph]

[He lifts a paw up and bites down on it, holding his silence as Keu goes about cleaning his various cuts and scrapes and broken bits]

[keusrai]

[The last of the bandages goes on. Keu soaks them them all in a tiny bit of his disinfectant brew, then heads back to the kitchen to dump the vile stuff out. There's a muffled gag as he does so.]
