[Video] Backdated to 3/7/10

[The feed turns on. Splashes of blood-soaked earth fly across the screen as the journal is jilted about; eventually the screen rests on Jay, kneecap broken in and huddled on the ground in a moaning heap. The recorder is not seen.]

He needs a healer that can set bones. In the forest, north of the village.

[Then the journal is placed on the ground ( Read more... )

[Murmurs of evening sky grasp across the horizon by the time Leonardo makes it back to the C6 apartment building. His entire body feels like one big ache; it should, if the five slashes across his body along with leg burns count for anything. The wounds have eased their bleeding by the time he makes it back - still, the sticky thickness of iron clings to his skin as though to suffocate him, and he makes a beeline for the bathroom as soon as he arrives at the apartment.]

[He doesn't go for the "I'm fine" route again because, well, it'd probably just piss Donatello off. His eyes flick toward the door.]

He...'kay to be out?

[Action] i_speak_softly March 11 2010, 03:54:24 UTC

As long as he doesn't do anything stupid.

[Action] thesevencodes March 11 2010, 03:58:13 UTC

[A wry grin.] ...Sounds like a gamble.

[Action] i_speak_softly March 11 2010, 04:04:32 UTC

It always is, with him.

And with you too, lately. [A not-so-subtle jab.]

[Action] thesevencodes March 11 2010, 04:09:08 UTC

I had to. [He's more or less lucid by now, and fights the urge to shift under Don's firm grasp.] He almost killed Raph.

[Action] i_speak_softly March 11 2010, 04:14:02 UTC

So you had to let him almost kill you too?

Leo - it's not the way.

[Action] thesevencodes March 11 2010, 04:19:39 UTC

I won. [It's an automatic correction - it doesn't have anything to do with Don's point. He swallows back the stars and tries to make his brother understand.] I needed - to restore Raph's honor, and...

[He clenches his eyes. Worse has happened, but he won't let Don know that.] I'll be okay, Donnie.

[Action] i_speak_softly March 11 2010, 04:24:53 UTC

[Honor. Sometimes Don thinks honor has spilled more blood than treachery ever did.]

Yes, and I'm sure honor will help him to heal faster.

[And, oh, how he hates hearing okay-ness referred to in the future tense.]

[And right on cue, Raph emerges through the apartment door with a canvas sac filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies. Seeing Leo conscious makes him feel a little bit better.]

Hey bro. Brought you guys some presents.

[Then he dumps the bag unceremoniously on the floor next to Don and starts sorting through the stuff. The first to be plucked from the pile is a vacuum sealed pack of suture needles, then a few smaller packages of sterile suture line.]

I asked some guy at the clinic if they got any fishing line and he asked me "For what?" Guess you're not s'posed to use that stuff. They even got fancy needles too. Don't think you got to boil these either. Says right on the package. [He holds up the little pack, pointing out the largest word on the back with a grin. Yes, he's rather proud of himself.] "Sterile".

[Next is another package, this one he holds out for Leo - a package of Twinkies.]

Blood loss, right? Gotta eat somethin'

[Action] thesevencodes March 11 2010, 04:54:42 UTC

[Raph is talking just a little too fast for Leo to keep up, but just looking at those Twinkies makes his stomach turn. Food is the last thing on his mind right now - even though he knows he needs the sugar.]

...Now?

[Action] i_speak_softly March 11 2010, 23:54:48 UTC

[Wow, look at all that -! He's medgasming on the inside, but he'll keep a lid on it. Only this slips out:] Wow, Raph, you were paying attention all those times I tried to tutor you in first aid. [What he means is, Thank you, you're the best brother ever, how did you know I wanted that?]

Yes, Leo, now. [He tears open a packet of Twinkies - oops, no longer sterile - commits the further crime of touching them with his unwashed hands, and gives half of one to the reluctant patient.] Just that much, while I thread the needle.

[Action] thesevencodes March 12 2010, 00:46:00 UTC

[A brief staring contest is had before Leo shoves the stupid Twinkie into his mouth. As soon as the taste hits, his stomach tries to jump into his throat; he swallows dryly, clears his throat, and forces it down. All in all an unpleasant experience, and he probably ends up looking fairly unhappy.]

Stitches? ...Didn't think...

[Action] meanandgreen March 12 2010, 03:14:35 UTC

[Raph just snorts at his brother's half-compliment. Yes, he did good and he knows it. Usefulness does wonders for his mood.]

You're chewed up pretty good, bro. Don't kid yourself.

[Action] i_speak_softly March 12 2010, 03:19:56 UTC

Sorry, Leo. I changed my mind while you were unconscious. [He pushes on Leo's plastron, just hard enough to give him the idea he should lay back now.] I'll make it quick.

[Action] thesevencodes March 12 2010, 03:49:24 UTC

[Leonardo just relents and gives the softest "Tch." If he'd been fighting smart, he might not be bleeding on the couch right now. The anger and unbridled need to hurt has passed - too late - and he can see it for what it was. The evening light stretches over his eyes.]

Okay.
