bakerstreet | MINOR INJURIES 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.

[He'll find what he's looking for on the way.

And in the meantime, Shiro hums out a short sound at the pat. He doesn't get touched much and the easy familiarity is nice. The hum comes back and turns into a short laugh at the question though. Having been directly involved in the whole 'throw Shiro bodily into a transport' he has a whole new respect for their reigning Altean. And that's on top of her introduction when she locked Lance in a hold using his ear. Keith's summary has him smiling. He doesn't know her that well but he suspects Allura might appreciate Keith not finding her intimidating.

Just - heaven help him if Keith ever got into a spar with her with that attitude.]

There's nothing wrong with a scary woman. [Shiro actually found it a flattering trait. Even if he was in no hurry to end up on the wrong side of it. Which had him adding:] As long as she doesn't find out about this.

[And then he exhaled and shook his head, shifting to lean back on his hands.] I might have been wondering how many of those floating plates it would take it haul me back to my room, yeah.

[Giving Shiro shoulder pats is apparently his specialty. He's done it plenty enough.]

I don't think she'd like to be considered scary. Alteans are supposed to be welcoming and avoid physical conflict. Seek peace first before raising hands. [He remembers her refusal of him to raise his hand on the unknown creatures that inhabited the land before they left.] Scary doesn't make a good trait when you're extending your hand for peace.

She'd kick our already sore butts if she finds out about this. I, for one, am fine with not being doubly sore and keeping this a secret.

[He snickers a bit.] I don't think floating plates are going to save you here.

[It's a good specialty to have. Shiro won't complain.

He has to smile at Keith's view of Allura. Its not as if his friend is wrong. For someone utterly bent on the destruction of the Galra empire, the princess has a very diplomatic and gentle touch with everyone else. Which isn't to say that Shiro thinks his summary of her is wrong either. In fact, they're both right about her to Shiro's mind. But to Shiro, you can be gentle and good and yet dangerous at the same time. He doesn't have a problem with the dichotomy.

Maybe Keith is right though. Maybe Shiro should.

They can both agree whole-heartedly however that not sharing this last training session with her is a good idea and Shiro snorts out a laugh, finally starting the process of struggling to his feet, offering a hand to his friend.]

It'll be our secret. Come on. If the floating plates aren't going to help us we're going to have to do this ourselves.

[Considering even Altean kids could do some of these training levels with the training bots; he definitely wouldn't underestimate Alteans. He also doesn't want to be on the receiving end of Allura's wrath anyways. She's thrown food at them and sicked a castle on them already. He can't imagine what she'd be like if she was legitimately mad.

He takes Shiro's hand, although he wonders if either of them can really help each other up when they can barely help themselves.]

I don't know how well kept of a secret it's going to be if we have to be marginally functional later. Bed has never sounded so good right now. I swear I can sleep anywhere with how tired I am.

[Shiro's theory is that the hand clasp is as much for the common bond as for helping either of them up.

That and he figures if they both lean back at least one of them is going to get pulled forward and maybe manage to get their feet under them. Which is what he offers physically as he tries to rock himself to his feet. But Keith's words earn a little huff of amusement out of him - and its only a little self-depreciating.

Shiro doesn't sleep much and when he does it usually isn't very deep or restful. But - after this?]

Yeah. Me too. Thanks for that.

[Keith lets out an audible groan as he manages to stagger to his feet. Oh god, he's already feeling it.]

It's no problem. Kind of was nicer than just training by myself with the training droids.

[He doesn't expect the others to train at the extent he usually does. Keith also knew that he was more of the loner type among the group.] I enjoyed it. Made me more aware of what's around me. [It was different having to only think about his own back. Instead, having to make sure to assist someone help and getting used to having someone have his back, was a much different experience.]

[Shiro's body makes its own protests known and his groan echoes Keith's as he puts a hand to his back and winces. Yep. That wasn't going to get better before it got worse. And he'd better be careful how he lays when he sleeps too or his muscles were going to tighten down.

And it was all worth it. So he means it as he offers a shoulder and starts to hobble out of the training room.]

Hit me up next time you want a training buddy. [A grunt.] Just - not tomorrow, okay?

[He laughs a bit as he steadies himself and makes sure the other is just as steady against him. It's probably a lot more awkward for Shiro to use Keith as support with him being much smaller, but he seems to be keeping up fine.

A rare laugh.]

What? You mean you aren't ready to do this tomorrow? You really are getting old.

[There's no way he can do this again tomorrow, but let him have his fun.]
