( they're bleeding! oh no. they are dead. )

[nomeals]

 

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.

[ hello.

how are we doing this. because i'm up for anything. ]

[pragma]

[ LMAO SO AM I which one of them should get hurt ]

[sprosny]

[ TBH ZERO GETTING HURT WOULD BE SO CUTE BC so awkward for the both of them, honestly. but its up to you. hit me. ]

shit lmao i can't pick which name to use

[pragma]

[ objectively, it's not a big deal. death is common in the battlefield, and injuries twice more so. a stab wound or two isn't much to be fussed over. or so that should be, but leo finds himself in zero's chambers, leaned against the wall opposite his retainer's bed. and he worries.

normally he wouldn't. normally as soon as the healers have mended the wound, there's nothing to fret over. but this is different. it's not the wound that bothers him but the events that led up to it - how this foolish man, who is useless in close combat, had actually jumped in between him and the attacker. and now leo's got a heavy weight in his chest that doesn't seem to go away, worsening every time he glances at the bandages covering zero's chest.

eventually he comes close, settling in a chair next to him, and sighs. ]

Zero, how do you feel?

[dual_fates]

[Wanna do some bonding over injury? I'm chill with either of them getting hurt.]

[pragma]

[ sure!! leo's probably not... the nursing type so he could get hurt instead? ]

[dual_fates]

[Okay! What options do you want for him? Big brother will do a great job nursing Leo back to health. He'll even make tea! (Which might hurt more than the injuries.)]

[pragma]

[ he... probably got thrown off a wyvern or something. tried to ride one bc everyone can reclass to wyvern lord but him?? also pls no not the tea ]

[dual_fates]

[Sounds awesome should I start or you for this? Btw, okay no tea but how about a free dragon ride to make his little bro feel better instead? Because who doesn't want to ride a dragon?]

[pragma]

[ i'm on the phone so it'd be great if you could! also dragon rides are acceptable. except he's not a kid big bro pls ]

[dual_fates]

[Okay! He just wants his cute little brother to warm up to him again. So he will give all the free dragon rides so Leon can brag to his friends about how cool his brother is.

Oh! Before I start up what kind of injury does he have? Like bruise or sprain or broken limb?]

[pragma]

[ broken leg sounds appropriate for being rejected by a wyvern!

also leo has no friends ]

[dual_fates]

[Don't worry Leo, big brother will get you friends too. Kamui just ends up running around the camp like 'THIS IS LEO AND HE'S CUTE AND GREAT BE HIS FRIEND.' Kamui A+ brother.]

[Kamui felt horrible when he heard Leo had broken his leg trying ride a wyvern, those animals could be very temperamental. When he went to visit his little brother, he decided to take it upon himself to take care of Leo until his broken leg healed instead of giving the burden to anyone else.

Which was why he was now standing before Leo with a book on how to nurse someone back to health in one hand and a bag of medical supplies in the other.]

I don't know how badly broken you leg is so I brought one of everything just in case.

[pragma]

[ are you trying to nurse him back to health or worsen it?? don't they have capable doctors. doctors that have patched him up. doctors who are not kamui. kamui is nowhere near a doctor.

and what the hell is that thing sticking out of his bag. ]

... The doctors have already seen me. I'm fine.

[ he's just eyeing kamui warily from his spot in the bed, book almost forgotten on his lap. a broken leg means he can't bolt. why couldn't he have broken an arm instead? ]

[dual_fates]

[Excuse you Leo, he is not a doctor. He's a nurse, there's a difference. He's going to do this one thing right and get closer to his brother again like when they were children. And that thing that was sticking out of his bag is a mend just in case his leg somehow started to hurt too much. Kamui had never had a broken limb before so he didn't know what to expect.]

I know that, but they're too busy with the war to do bedside care so I thought... that maybe, I could do that for them until your leg fully heals.

[Kamui knew from previous conversations that Leo felt a little neglected by Camilla and Marx since the paid so much attention to him and Elise. So Kamui wanted to fix that by being a real big brother and real big brothers protect and care for their little siblings.]

Don't worry Leo, I'll take really good care of you!

[pragma]

[ nurse is not?? the better alternative?? how about you be a good big brother and let him read in peace?? please. it'll only take a few weeks for his leg to heal. ]

Don't you have better things to do? Play with Elise? Play with Camilla? Spar with Xander?

[ not... that he doesn't appreciate the gesture, because he does. just. maybe he's just not quite ready to be cared for like that. it's just a little sudden. and worrying. ]

[dual_fates]

[Kamui doesn't know that. As far as Kamui is concerned a few weeks is a long time to be helpless! So Kamui will help him heal even faster by his great nursing skills. At least try to pretend to be happy to see your big brother caring for you Leo.

Kamui deflated a little when he saw how unhappy his brother was with his caring gesture. Had they really grown that distant?]

What's more important than caring for an injured loved one? All that can wait until you're better and we can all spar or play together. [Like a big happy family that Kamui had only been able to read about. He knew that everyone was very busy and the fort was very far from the capital, but he couldn't help but daydream from time to time about what it must be like to all live together at the capital.]

hello c:

[akumu]

[The thing about sworn enemies and pride is that sometimes, despite knowing that Leo may or may not be as bad as he thinks, it's hard to just accept that they're now on the same side. Even harder than that is to accept help, especially for something as embarrassing as an injury due to carelessness. He hadn't expected the ambush-- none of them did-- but he feels at fault for it. If he had noticed it sooner rather than later, they could've prevented it. No, instead, he noticed it too late, and it was only with everyone else's help that they managed to come back in one piece with bad news.

Unfortunately, that happened, and while he could always ask to be healed, they were rather preoccupied with the ones who took the most damage. He wasn't too concerned, and even told Sakura he can do it on his own.

Except, well... no. That wasn't happening. He's not sure just what exactly the Nohr siblings were up to, but when Leo had been shoved his way to help, he had only a wary glance to give him. It was an improvement, he supposed, from the days when he would've sneered or protested or, if he was in a bad enough mood, kick him out with good measure.

Now they were kind of stuck. Huh.]

... Let's just get this over with.

come into my arms

[pragma]

[ change definitely doesn't happen overnight, least of all something that's been ingrained into one's consciousness. it's neither of their faults that they don't get along, but they're the least cooperative of the bunch for sure, as much as leo hates to admit it.

and it may very well be a ploy from their respective siblings that the role of takumi's caretaker had fallen upon him. he doesn't even much much about healing arts - or any at all. elise had always been the nurse in the group.

so leo finds himself in takujmi's tent, a tray of standard medical implements next to him, and a less than enthused expression on his face. ]

... Right, then.

I trust that you know not to move while I work.

[ good thing he's not allowed needles. ]

jumps in them

[akumu]

... Depends. Do you actually even know how to use these?

[It's an honest question, even as he pulls back his shirt, just enough to reveal the gash on his side. If Hinata or Oboro were around, he'd have asked them for this instead. Admittedly, he rarely has to be tended to when it came to wounds compared to them, given that he chooses to battle from a distance. Since they weren't an option today, and he had been caught in an ambush-- he supposed he should bite his tongue and at least accept the help.

Besides, given the look that Ryoma gave earlier, he doesn't need him scolding him about carelessness AND refusal to cooperate. His pride was bruised enough. At the very least, Leo was somewhat better company that others he can think of.

There's not really a lot of good company he can think of when most of them were from rival territory.]

[pragma]

Of course I do. [ no he doesn't, but it can't be that hard to learn? elise does it.

at least, he could decipher the steps he's supposed to take from the supplies given to him. his attention is turned to takumi's wound then, because the sooner they finish, the sooner they will be released from each other's company.

first - he reaches for the wash basin and grips the towel provided, squeezing it dry before leaning over to dab it against the gash on takumi's side as gently as he can. it's not like the little hoshido prince can't take a little pain anyway, right. ]

[akumu]

Ugh.

[He can definitely take a little pain, but he instinctively tenses up when he feels the towel on his wound. Nothing to write home about though, and he forces himself to relax and let Leo do what he can to clean it.

He's still dubious. It's easy enough to guess how to clean a wound, after all.]

So how did they manage to put you up to this?
