[Elektra is crotched low to the ground in a Grecian style room. She's holding a pair of weapons; blades carefully hidden in the crook of her arm. She traces the floor with her handles before she slowly rises up. Once she's up she flips the weapons making the blades visible. She turns around twirling them a few times in her hands before starting

[Any attempt at trying to go back to how they were before and reestablish an appropriate distance is overcome by obvious concern.

Bruce reigns that in, not sure what is appropriate still. He rarely knows. He just says quietly,] I've never thought you were weak.

[gamma_effect]

Yes. Criminals - other killers.

...Are you feeling better? [yes, he's still worried, and it's still faintly visible]

[namedfortragedy]

He sounds like a vigilante.

[She can see that and will grudgingly accept that.]

... Owen is going to fix my hands.

I don't think he sees himself that way. It's... complicated.

Good. There are ways to get things out that don't involve hurting yourself. I know most of them.

Somehow I'm not surprised by that or you knowing ways to get things out.

I didn't intend to hurt myself. I just got a little carried away.

When I can't make a single mistake, I get good at not getting carried away, [he says a touch ruefully.]

I won't tell you what to do. Just be careful. If we're not pretending it didn't happen... there's people that care about what happens to you.

... It's just my hands. I've been using these too long to ever hurt myself seriously with them by mistake.

[That does hit a cord though.]

I try the meditating next time.

[concession received, he lets it go, smiling slightly]

I'll admit it's not as exciting as your method, but maybe the trade off of Owen not complaining about menial tasks is worth it for you.

[namedfortragedy]

It is tempting. He's going to say I told you say the whole time he's fixing them.

[locked - video]

[gamma_effect]

But he'll still fix them.

[namedfortragedy]

Yes. I just may regret that I let him.
