You okay? I can open a lock if you want.

If it was a trouble, I wouldn't be here. You need help and I'm offering it.

...I - [Well at least she wasn't asking awkward questions.] Thank you. [He wraps an arm around her shoulder, wincing as he gets to his feet.]

Like I said, not a problem dude.
[She helps him into the house and gets him settled on hard chair.]
There. I'm gonna have to look at those ribs. Now, can you get your shirt off, or do you need help?

I - it's not appropriate -

What?

Dude, it's me, or I call a few friends that happen to be doctors. Guaranteed they'll ask questions. Now, shirt off.

This is gonna hurt, sorry.
[Her fingers are as gentle as they can be. And she pulls out an ace bandage from a pocket and begins winding it tight around his ribs.]
I'm gonna recommend you stay inside and try not to move very fast. And if anything starts hurting worse, get to a doc. Ribs aren't something you mess around with.

I can't tell if they're broken or not, so be really careful.

Well, thank you.
[She continues cleaning up the various wounds.]
And I'm going to say don't go out at night for a long while. Take it easy. But then, I never listen to advice like that. So don't go out alone. Take back up with you. It's what I do.

I - think I will, next time. I really didn't quite mean to be out after the sirens.

I tend to forget that I'm one of the odder ones that goes out on purpose after dark. Well, me and my room mate. We go out just to see what trouble we can find. Makes us feel better after a bad day.
[Or, ya know, to rob people blind...]

I've wanted to do that too. See what kind of monsters are out there - but more prepared, I suppose.
Have you been injured as well?

A couple of times. Bumps, bruises, twisted my shoulder pretty bad once. Thought I screwed up my knee once. I was really glad I found out I hadn't.
[Her work is efficient, neat, and as gentle as possible.]
Maybe, after you heal, you can come out with me. I don't mind going out and having fun and helping someone out at the same time.
