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.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Right. Like - I don't know. I heard all sorts of people coughing up something awful.

[ He clings a bit, fingers digging gently into his sleeve. ]

From:

eyediot

It wasn't pleasant to see, no.

[Poor Battler. But he lets Martin cling, rubbing his back gently.]

You'll be all right.

From:

curriculum_fictae

I - I know, I just- sorry, I sort of need this? Right now?

From:

eyediot

No, of course. I don't mind, it's... I do love you, Martin. I'm happy to be here to help.

From:

curriculum_fictae

It's helping a lot.

[ The hug is getting a LITTLE tight. ]

From:

eyediot

Good. I'm glad to be able to do that much.

[He lets Martin cling, he is only a twig after all.]

From:

curriculum_fictae

Well - I mean - you could spend the night?

From:

eyediot

I-

Do you want that? I do need to, um. Run a short errand for Sparrow, if you wanted to come with but. I suppose I could stay, yes.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Oh - right, of course. For Sparrow and all. I'll go with you?

From:

eyediot

[He smiles a little at that.] Brilliant.

Whenever you feel up to moving, then.

From:

curriculum_fictae

... Are my eyes bleeding any more?

From:

eyediot

[Taking a look- and they're fine now.]

No, they're all right. Nothing amiss now.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Right. Then. May as well go and get that done then, yeah?

From:

eyediot

[Chances playing a light kiss to Martin's curls, watching the little bit of frost he leaves immediately start to melt with a smile.]

Yes, let's. I think you'll enjoy this field trip as well.
