Comments

[pishirogane]

[That is a scientific mystery that Naoto will have to solve later]

[When Kanji returns, surprise surprise when he has a bag from the first aid station]

Thank you, Kanji-kun... Though, the next time you want to see what the Breakfast table has, I suggest you head in the direction which it's located. [Still, what he has, she can check her bandages right now.]

[topgun_textiles]

[Head in the direction which it's-- damn it. All right... that was a really bad excuse. Points for her.]

Sorry. ...Uh, would any'a this come in handy?

[He settled onto the grass and handed her the bag, then drew a sleeve across a brow.]

[pishirogane]

[One day, that will be improved upon]

Hm... it should be able to.

[She set the bag beside her as Kanji sits down again, reaching for her pant leg once that was done. Slowly, she rolled it up higher, wincing faintly as she brought the rough fabric back far enough to reveal the bandages wrapped tightly around her calf.]

[topgun_textiles]

Yeah?

[He looked down and, when she started to roll up the pant leg, quickly found a spot in the grass to look at instead, swallowed. Maybe he should turn around or something... but he instead looked again, and scooted forward to sit directly across. A hand scooped under her ankle and gently lifted it up a few inches, resting it atop his thigh to elevate the limb.]

H-here, lemme do it...

[He reached for the bag.]

I got a little crash course on stitchin' people up from Megumi. If somethin's up, I-I can fix it.

[pishirogane]

[The effect is immediate even if it's undesired. Naoto's not a physically intimate being with other people outside of their professional work. She's barely comfortable when it's just a simple hand hold. Him taking hold of her ankle and then placing it on his leg is immediately too much.]

Kanji-kun, that's not necessary...!

[To do this on her own would be difficult do considering the location of the bite being on the back.]

[topgun_textiles]

'f you don't bend n' reach for it, your leg's not gonna tense. It'll hurt less if I do it.

...Keep it still a sec, okay?

[He sought where the end of the bandage was tied off and worked it undone, starting to unwrap the calf.]

Where's the bite?

[pishirogane]

[... Unfortunately, what he said did make sense. She sighed under her breath, not making any attempts to pull her leg away]

It's... underneath. [She makes a gesture, showing him how the bite arcs.]

[topgun_textiles]

[He nodded wordlessly, and when his hands passed the end of the bandage from one to the other beneath her leg, the movements were a made a little more gingerly than the rest. Kanji's hands were just a tad clumsy, a knuckle brushing against her knee or the side of the calf now and again as he worked the gauze loose.]

...Okay.

[Once undone he set them aside, and stooped a little to take a look to see how she was healing up as his stomach clenched, tipping the limb a little with a palm. Damn it... this thing got her good.]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto doesn't say a word when he accidentally brushes her knee or touches her skin directly. It's just going to keep happening once the bandage is off.]

[The bite mark is deep and the stitches are still visible. They're healing over as indicated by the pink around, but some of the scarring looks darker, irritated as though the wound was going to tear open.]

Ah... looks like I rested at the right time.

[topgun_textiles]

[It was no secret that he'd had stitches before, so he knew what those darker lines meant.]

Tch... They didn't give you crutches to keep ya from puttin' weight on the leg?

[Oh, he sounded a little grouchy now, reaching into the bag for the cloth and saline before he'd, as gingerly as he could humanly manage, clean the suture areas. His eyebrows furrowed.]

Don't even know what the hell they're doin'.

[pishirogane]

[Naoto was able to keep herself from making a sound as he cleaned the openings]

It's not that they didn't give me a crutch...

[Still a very terrible patient even when out.]

[topgun_textiles]

Naoto-kun... [He adores you, but you really are the worst patient. That's also the pot calling the kettle black, however.]

[There was a little build-up where the lines were darkened. Sorry, this was going to sting a little bit, but it was that or another infection. He quietly sighed, and got to work there, too.]

[pishirogane]

I didn't want people treating me differently at morning training just because I have an injury. A crutch makes it obvious.

[She winces faintly, swallowing the hiss. She wasn't aware that it had gotten that bad.]

[topgun_textiles]

I know, it sucks... but screw 'em. You wanna get better, right?

[He froze when she winced, and continued a moment later, but slower. Almost done.]

Doesn't look like y'did much to it today, though. Wanted to get at least a little more practice in before I, uh, actually stitched on a person.

[pishirogane]

... Yes.

[Hm... would it be too late to get a crutch then?]

You're learning how to make sutures? [Though, would he be able to stitch her?]

[topgun_textiles]

[He nodded, finishing with clean-up. Time to get the antibiotic junk on it. The stuff's always so goopy...]

Takani Megumi-san's been teachin' me. Man, you should see her work with a needle... she's quicker than me, but the lines she can stitch come out kinda pre-- nice. They come out really nice. [Don't use that word, you twit. Besides, what does a 'pretty' stitch look like?]

[As for if he would be able to stitch her? ...uh well see it's um HE WOULD TRY HIS DAMNDEST. WHILE SWEATING BULLETS.]

[pishirogane]

So she's a surgeon.

[At least, that's what it sounds like. Naoto remains still while Kanji continues treating her leg, becoming oddly comfortable with his touch.]

[topgun_textiles]

[He nodded again, applying the antibiotic. It was a little cold... sorry.]

First doctor-type I'm a'right with. She's from like a hundred years ago, pretty damn well-known where she's from.

She's a Weapon, too. Last few days, I've been tryin' out that Dual Resonance with her n' Tifa. 's pretty weak, though...

[And he got some on his hands. He made a face at his hand and worked to wipe it off first before he'd double-check the bite wound. Did he miss anything?]

[pishirogane]

[She can't help but shiver at the initial contact]

I see. Well, in order to dual resonate, you must align with both Weapons in theory, correct? That's not an easy feat.

[That appears to be everything besides the new wrapping of gauze. It doesn't hurt as much.]

[topgun_textiles]

Right. This guy was tellin' me the Weapons gotta have a good connection, too. I know 'em both, but those two just met.

[A mistake on his part. If they were to go on a mission as they were, they'd get clobbered. Maybe a little more practice was needed before he'd think about asking Megumi to partner, too...]

[He unwrapped the new roll of gauze and held the two new clips in his teeth for now as he started wrapping her calf back up.]

Y'wanna practish dual-reshonansh too, we can.

[pishirogane]

Hm...

[So it was not only the Meister, but the Weapons that had to get along. That made sense... she knew the Shinigami had two weapons (one who was a nutcase sending ice cream cake on a mission). There was someone else with two weapons. Both cases, the Weapons were related though which made all the more reason why they could resonate well.]

[Naoto withdrew from her thoughts, watching the gauze go around. He really needed to wait until his mouth was clear to speak]

... Who would the other Weapon be then? [Megumi or Tifa?]

[topgun_textiles]

[He thought about that a moment. He'd been told that personalities had to be considered for any resonance, but was doubly important for dual. Having too similar personalities caused feedback, and too wildly different would only cause problems. They had to balance, compliment one another, but at the core they had to relate to one another.]

Megumi. [All three of them fought to prove something to people, to society as a whole at the very core, right? Naoto was cool and professional, while Megumi was fiery yet professional, too. That... that'd actually work. All he needed to do was shoulder the weight and hold everything together as the Meister!]

[As the last of the gauze was in place, he placed the clips, securing the ends so the bandages stay firm and in place. Kanji worked to unroll the pant leg, drawing it down over the calf to cover the limb.]

A'right... think that does it. Feels okay?

[pishirogane]

[Naoto hasn't met Megumi. She believes that Tifa might've been a better choice in this case, but they would have to see through trial and error.]

[She stared at her leg, watching as he set the clips and rolled down her pant leg. Placing a hand carefully on it, she nodded]

Yes, that's much better. Thank you...

[topgun_textiles]

[He nodded his reply, briefly glancing away as he went a little pink and shifted to sit beside her once more.]

Yeah. No problem.

[And that's when he noticed a very familiar kunai, picking it up. He had to wonder how many times he'd seen Yosuke-senpai drop these and play it off like it was on purpose.]

I remember these. You try fighting with 'em?

[And just to test, he poked the tip with his finger, withdrew the hand quickly. Sh-shit, that was sharp!]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto withdraws her hand from her leg and looks at him as he returns to her side. When he picks up the kunai, she raises her hand]

Don't touch--!

[Ah, too late. Well, he realized she keeps it well-maintained despite all the old scratches still on it...]

During the invasion I used it.
