Not sure.

[He'll get Martin's door open for him and gently lead him inside. Still... Looks like home, yep.]

Less eventful than ours, I can safely say.

From:

curriculum_fictae

... Right. You've seen it, haven't you.

[ Martin awkwardly lowers himself to the bed. ]

From:

eyediot

Yes. I-i have.

[Just helps Martin sit and looks at his face properly now, being careful.]

They did do quite a number on you, didn't they....

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Totally and firmly sewn shut - though his eyes are intact underneath. ]

Y. YEs. Bit sore, though not actively painful, at least.

From:

eyediot

[Jonah nods even if he can't see it and starts looking around.]

Have you got a - A small knife or scissors here?

From:

curriculum_fictae

Sewing scissors over on the end table, yes.

From:

eyediot

Right, got that.

[Getting those and. Well, it's not the worst impromptu surgery he's done, but might be the most delicate. He doesn't want to fuck this up.]

Don't- Don't move, all right? My hands are, um. A bit colder, but I'll try my best.

From:

curriculum_fictae

... I mean. Could be good if you miss, yeah?

From:

eyediot

....Why would that be good? I'd rather not hurt you.

From:

curriculum_fictae

N-no, I mean - if you miss, being able to numb the pain would be. Good.

From:

eyediot

Ah. That. Is true, I suppose.

[Just. Going to start gently trying to nudge the thread to give some slack so he can cut the first thread. It goes through easy enough though the cold is there against Martin's eye.]

All right. First one done.

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Way too close. Martin gulps a bit and does his best to hold still. ]

Better - better do the next one before I try opening both, yeah?

From:

eyediot

Y-yes. I'll try to make it quick.

[Gonna just get on that- Boa taking pity and he starts cutting through this one as well. Slow and steady but with purpose.]

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ good. good. Martin winces a bit, but ... ]

Oh. That's much better.

From:

eyediot

[Carefully pulling the thread out and tossing it aside.]

Is it? I didn't cut you or anything?

From:

curriculum_fictae

I-I don't think so?

[ There's a trickle of blood, but it seems to be coming from the holes in his eyelid. ]

From:

eyediot

[OH.... Nope no, gonna grab a cloth to hand to Martin so he can. Do that. But he'll at least try to numb it a little.]

Good. I'm relieved for that much.

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Martin dabs delicately at his eyes. ]

I mean, still horrid but. At least I can SEE again.

From:

eyediot

[Smiles a little. He is selfishly relieved.]

Yes, you can see again. And that was a simple enough remedy to fix.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Honestly, not bad compared to some of the other things I've seen.

[ He winds up leaning against Jon. ]

From:

eyediot

[Oh... He just. Tucks Martin's head under his chin for the moment, patting his back almost awkward before settling into familiar.]

Right, this place could have done much worse to you.
