She had tucked the journal neatly under her arm as she made her way to Leon's room. The way was different from what it used to be but she was getting accustomed to that now. With her free hand she picked up her skirt slightly to increase her pace a bit; admittedly these long skirts were not the easiest things to move in.
Pausing in front of his door, she knocked twice and then pushed it open. "Leon?" She poked her head around.
First aid knowledge or not, she was still a little worried about putting it to the test, so to speak.
"Come in," he called out, having gone into the bathroom to change into more roomy pants - that is, his black jeans - so the two burn injuries on his legs could breathe more easily.
He walked out and tossed his gloves onto the table nearby. He wondered just how much he really taught her about first aid, and contemplated teaching her a few more tricks after she took care of the last injury.
It was not much, but it would have to be enough. Euphie wanted to show him that she had learned something useful from him. It was something between a need to prove herself.. and prove... something. She didn't know what exactly, but as long as she got that feeling, it wasn't important to know what it was.
"Hey, you don't look too burnt." she attempted a little bit of a light remark, but worry still dominated her tone.
"Here," She moved his way picking up bandages and other items on her way, "Show me."
"Did you expect burns all over me?" Leon raised an eyebrow as he closed the door, stepping back over to her. "It's five total, and only this last one that I can't get to."
He went over and sat in a nearby chair, rolling up the sleeve of his t-shirt so she could see the burn injury on the back of his upper arm. "There..."
"I'm glad not to find more burns all over you." Euphie replied and pulled the table a bit closer so she could set the bandages and creams and all those things on it as she took a look at his arm.
"It looks..." Well, it could probably be worse, but that didn't stop her from wincing slightly at just seeing the injury. Sure, she had seen worse injuries than this in her time here but it didn't make it easier to see a friend injured.
Lightly, she pressed her fingers around the wound, just taking a second look before doing anything. "Okay, let's get this done." Reaching out for the utensils on the table she approached Leon cautiously again, almost as if scared to hurt him just by coming closer. Silly thoughts.
"It's not the prettiest thing, I know." Leon let the sleeve drop as she picked up the utensils, before he a thought struck him. He lifted up his arms - being mindful of the injuries - and took his shirt off, sighing softly.
"The shirt would have gotten in your way," he stated smoothly, looking at her as he put the shirt aside. He could be slow with really simple things sometimes, and probably didn't realize that she might not exactly take to him being shirtless lightly. "Do you need me to help you out with this type of injury? I don't think I taught you how to take care of burn injuries..."
"It's fine-" Euphie answered before he lifted his arms and took of his shirt, she stared in confusion, then blushed ever so slightly before she averted her gaze to the side quickly staring firmly at the floor.
"Oh! Ah... I guess you're right... I didn't think of it." Of course, even if she had thought of it, Euphie probably wouldn't have suggested taking off his shirt, but that was besides the point. The important thing was Leon had an injury to take care of.
Clearing her throat, she turned her gaze to him, making sure to keep it fixed to his arm where the burn was as much as possible. That or his face. "...Ah, you didn't but..." She bit her tongue a little, "I can learn now, quickly."
"Well, there's a tube of aloe vera gel that's for burns. Use that first, and apply it with a Q-tip. And I would advise you to put some disposable gloves on first..." he stated smoothly, ignoring her apparent embarrassment at him being shirtless. He'd put it back on once the injury was taken care of.
"Anyway, how are you?" A frown crossed his features. "You haven't met up anymore with Walter on your own, have you?"
Doing as he instructed, Euphie put on the gloves, took the Q-tip and moved to get the aloe vera gel before moving to his side once more. She began applying it over the wound, although she might have jabbed him a little too hard when he brought up Walter's name. (Just out of surprise)
"I have not, he hasn't said anything on the journals. Probably should... check on him sometime."
Euphie eased up and began smoothing the gel over the wound gently.
"Tell me when you do," Leon stayed still as she applied the gel to the wound, still frowning. There was no way he'd let her go on her own to meet this guy, fuck that. He did grimace a bit when she jabbed him, but he knew that she didn't do it on purpose.
"Once you're done, you can put the gel away and put the bandage over it. There's a special bandage that's used for burn injuries, it'll say 'burn' somewhere on the label..."
