196. But the death toll shouldn't work this way!

[thegooddrjones]

For those of you who haven't seen, it appears that people who have suffered the death toll in the past are suffering it intermittently. If you're suffering it, get in touch with the infirmary. There's a reason we keep you for three days, it's because we have drugs that can help with it

[Calm:] When you have time, I need stitches.

I'm not punishing myself, [he grumbled] I can handle it, take care of the people who can't.

Arthas. [Martha gave him a stern look for a moment, and then she touched the wound.]

Have we tried glue on you yet? It might work better than the stitches.

[darknessb4me]

What, just like ...paste it back together?

[thegooddrjones]

Sort of. It's much more permanent than that, though.

[The most dubious face.]

If it doesn't work, we can always stitch it anyway.

[darknessb4me]

...Sure.

[Martha pulled off her gloves and opened a different drawer, pulling out a tube of sterile glue.]

I know painkillers won't work, but I'll try to do this as quickly as possible. Are you ready? [The question was asked as she pulled on a new pair of gloves.]

[darknessb4me]

Yes. I can guarantee you I've had worse today.

[Martha nodded and then she broken open the tab on the glue and applied it quickly to Arthas's finger and pressed the two sides of the wound closed.]

[Arthas didn't make a sound at the contact, and in fact leaned over curiously to watch this happen. Glue. Well, it's not like it would be worse than having it open.]

[Martha held it for thirty seconds and then she let it go and the skin held together.]

Looks good. How does it feel?

[darknessb4me]

[He picked up the hand and flexed it - the skin pulled, but the glue didn't unstick.]

Much better.

[Smile.]

Thank you.
