the MINOR INJURY meme

You or your meme partner has been hurt, but don't worry! This time around it's not that bad. You can still limp your way out of this mess.
INJURIES.
1. Sprain/strain. How did you screw up walking?
2. Broken bones. Simple fractures still hurt.
3. Cuts. Hopefully one of you has a sewing kit.
4. Burns. Location, location, location. Let's pray this one isn't on your ass.
5. Concussion. No, they're most likely not holding up fifteen fingers.
6. Other. I'm not a doctor.
HOW'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Stupidity. You did this to yourself.
2. Accident. Is an unintentional attack still an attack?
3. Attack. Don't lie, you deserved it.
4. Other. It's probably still your own fault.
WHERE'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Home. Did you remember to invest in a first aid kit?
2. School/Work. This should be excellent for getting you out of doing stuff!
3. Outdoors. Predators like the smell of blood. Clean up asap.
4. In the water. Hopefully there aren't any sharks!
5. Other. Like a hospital. That'd be handy.
Christa | Attack on Titan
5, 3, 2... for a given value of work.
...it's not clearing. he frowns, reaches for his horse's reins, and misses by a good three inches. ]
no subject
she was going to panic slightly when she sees him nearly fall off his horse. what was--he wasn't injured from the battle, was he? someone would have noticed!
looks like that someone was her. ]
C-corporal, sir? Are you all right?
no subject
I'm not dead, am I? [ it takes him a second to place her — one of the new scouts. levi grabs for the reins again, this time successfully. ] Don't answer that.
We're heading back. Get on your horse.
no subject
but she couldn't help being concerned. and it would probably cost her, but she can't help asking before she could help herself. ]
... Permission to speak freely? Sir, I'm not sure if you should be trying to ride by yourself.
no subject
...his head is still spinning, though, and he sighs, loudly, like he can't believe that he's saying what he's saying. ] What do you know about head injuries?
no subject
[ the thought of the corporal getting wounded was almost unbelievable, but... they were all only human. fighting titans. and it'll be a while until they could get back to a proper medic.
time to think fast. ]
no subject
It'll probably pass. [ it didn't seem that bad at the time, at least... ]
no subject
It would be dangerous to ride with a head injury by yourself. If you'll allow me to, I'll help!
no subject
You just said you don't know anything about head injuries. What're you gonna do about it?
no subject
I apologize, I can't treat it. Not as well as the medics would when we get back. But I could try to make sure you won't injure yourself further.
no subject
How? [ if he sounds grudging, he doesn't mean to, it's just his face. and his voice. and his entire being. but really, he's just paranoid and needs to know everything before it happens to him. ]
no subject
... If that's all right with you, sir.
no subject
And how do you suggest we sit?
[ putting all the responsibility for any awkwardness on her. yep. ]
no subject
[ wow THIS IS... SO AWKWARD now that she actually thinks about it. and they're both short, either would work. maaybe going to leave decision up to the boss though. ]
no subject
[ less distance to reach the reins. besides, even if he's short, he's still taller than she is..! just barely. ]
Fine. Let's go. [ unsteadily dismounting. he's really annoyed that he has to be an inconvenience, not even worried about the injury. ]
no subject
[ quickly reaching to take the reins for Levi's horse so she could lead his side-by-side with hers. and wondering if she should offer a hand up or if he'd be offended... ]
no subject
Okay. [ deep breath, while he tries to focus his gaze on a certain point and succeeds, mostly.
...now he has to figure out where to put his hands. oh god. why. he'll just... move his legs so they aren't bumping into her 3DMG and put his hands near there. good enough, right? ]
Go. Before I change my mind and walk.
no subject
okay, taking the risk. ]
Have you ridden with another person before? If you put your arms around my waist, we could ride faster. And we don't want you to slip off, sir.
no subject
Of course not. [ it's kind of weird talking to the back of someone's head, especially as he's now setting his arms around her waist as instructed. ] Better?
[ his dry tone is exaggerated, mostly to defend his own discomfort. ]
no subject
[ gently patting both horses on the neck like a disney princess before nudging hers into a brisk trot. camp's a while away, but going faster might make the headache worse. going slower might make him grumpy, though... win some and lose some. ]
no subject
and really, unfortunately for christa, he's always grumpy. for what it's worth, he doesn't complain or protest at anything as they move back towards the camp. by the time they're nearing the place, however, levi has gone from glowering determinedly at trees to staring rather vacantly into the distance. he really doesn't look so good. ]
no subject
We're almost there, we'll get you treated soon!--Was the ride all right, sir?
no subject
...fine.
[ he isn't quite sure what she just asked him, even as he answers. ] You don't need to be so... [ ugh, words. he stops there, trying to figure out what he wants to say, and then just gives up. thank god christa is so sweet/basically a goddess. ]
no subject
[ whatever that was, it sounded like the start of criticism. and coming from the corporal while he's injured... trying to think fast and wondering what else she could've done.
ripped her clothes for bandages probably, will have to keep in mind for next time. ]
