[He shrugs a little and goes over to sit in front of Lea.]

I didn't even feel it. A girl told me my head was bleeding.

[by_heart]

It sure is.

[So's his, so he has to use the cloth to wipe his own eye before pressing it to Roxas' forehead. He manages to get the cut clean enough to examine it, poking and prodding to determine just what he should to about it. It's not deep enough that it will need to be stitched, but he'll have to use some butterfly bandages to keep it shut before he bandages it over. He's not sure where the first aid kit came from, but at least it's a bit more modern than some of the other stuff around here.]

Anything else someone told you about?

[That cut's taken care of, but this is Roxas. There are others.]

[heartismyown]

No she didn't say anything else.

[His arm is covered in blood, but it's from wiping at his face. He has a few small cuts on his hand and a blister on his left palm from the keyblades but mostly he's unscathed.]

Nothing really hurts too much.

[by_heart]

[Yeah, it's all gonna hurt later when the adrenaline wears off.]

Lucky you. Lemme see your hands.

[Cleaning those up is the next step. Lea luckily had the forethought to put his gloves on before the fight, so at least his hands are fine. The gloves, not so much. He's going to need to pick up a new pair the next time they make port. He didn't even bother to save the old ones, not worth all the work it would take to clean them and patch them up.]

That blister's gonna be annoying.

[heartismyown]

[Gloves would have been the smart way to go, but he didn't come with any, nor did he think to get any.

He grimaces when Lea touches it.]

Yeah, it hurts a little already. It's not in a good spot, but I think it will get better.

[He tilts his head at Lea.]

Your head is still bleeding too. Want me to fix it for you?

[by_heart]

Know what to do?

[Might as well let him try, at least. Lea grabs a clean cloth off the table and hands it over. The old one's getting a little gross.]

[heartismyown]

Not really, but I can figure it out.

[Maybe. At least he knows he has to be gentle. He dampens the cloth and carefully begins to wipe some of the blood way from Lea's face to look at the cut.]

[by_heart]

Just get it clean. If it looks like it's not gonna stay closed with just a bandage, get some of those little ones I used on yours and tape it closed before you put the bandage on.

[He shifts uncomfortably on the chair. Nothing seems to be broken, but who knows what else might be bleeding. He's definitely bruised all to hell, he knows that much.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas concentrates on what he's doing, cleaning the cut carefully. It doesn't look that bad with the blood washed away, but it probably needs the little bandages. He takes one in hand and starts opening it.]

That was a really tiring fight.

[by_heart]

Tell me about it. I gave up on the stupid Keyblade halfway through because it meant thinking too much.

[Usually he'd just brush it off and pretend he was fine but he's too tired right now even for his own crap.]

[heartismyown]

Mmm. Just the Chakrams then?

[He speaks conversationally, but really he's concentrating. He gets Lea's cut closed and then works on folding a piece of gauze to make a bandage.]

[by_heart]

Yeah. Like 'em better.

[He'd been working on perfecting that fighting style since he was a kid, after all. Sure, he knows he should work on the Keyblade thing, but why fix what ain't broken?]

[heartismyown]

Why did you get a Keyblade anyway? I mean, there's nothing wrong with them, I have two after all, but you had your Chakrams.

[He tapes the gauze to Lea's head and gives another wipe of his face with the cloth.]

Are you cut anywhere else?

[by_heart]

[He tugs his vest and shirt off (not without a few hissed curses) and takes stock of the situation. Mostly bruises like he thought, but hey, he does have a nice gash in his side.]

Seems so.

[No wonder it hurt.]

As for that Keyblade thing...I could, you know, so I did. Seemed like the right thing to do.

[heartismyown]

That looks a little serious.

[Roxas frowns, wetting the cloth again and ringing it out before carefully washing the wound.]

I guess I never really asked you about that before.

[It's one of those topics they seem to try to avoid because it's the kind of thing that serves as a reminder that in the future, Roxas is gone.]

[by_heart]

[Lea would shrug, but it'd probably hurt too much.]

It's not like I have a lot to tell you. I only had it maybe a week or two before I showed up here. I still can't even get it to come out half the time.

[It'd probably get easier if he trained with it more, but he's not too keen on making an ass of himself. Keyblades aside, though...]

Ow.

[Stupid side. Hurts.]

If that thing needs stitches, you're not doing them.]

[heartismyown]

Sorry.

[He tries to take it a little easier with his touch.]

Why not? You can tell me how to do them, it can't be that hard.

[Roxas shrugs a little and investigates the wound before rincing his hands and pulling out some gauze.]

Only a week or two? Is that how long Sora's been awake?

[by_heart]

[Roxas, he trusts you with his life, but he's not letting you anywhere near him with a needle and thread.]

Telling you how to do it isn't gonna make it hurt less when you try. Just bandage it for now.

[As for that other thing...]

Sora's been awake for, I dunno, a year maybe? Maybe less than that. Timelines, right?

[He waves a hand. He has absolutely no idea how long it took him to come back or how long he was training with his Keyblade before he had to go rescue Sora from Xehanort.]

[heartismyown]

[It isn't likely that Roxas would kill him while trying to stitch him up, but if that's what Lea wants then he can accommodate. Roxas presses gauze carefully along the gash and gets out a bandage to wrap it around him.]

A whole year? What have you been doing then?

[by_heart]

[Lea turns his head to the side and stares fixedly at the wall.]

Oh, you know me...

[He's been avoiding this topic since they arrived. He's still not sure if any of the others have told Roxas or what they said if they did. Or if Roxas remembers what they told him, though he doubts it's the sort of thing even Roxas would forget.]

[heartismyown]

[He lets out a little laugh.]

Yeah, so I know you were doing at least something. A year is a long time. It's as long as I've been alive! Well, a little more then that now.

[Roxas wraps the bandage carefully and ties it off.]

I think you need stitches anyway.

[by_heart]

Yeah, I'll ask someone later.

[Roxas just takes everything he says at face value. Why wouldn't he? This is Roxas, after all. Even when he's managed to figure out that Lea's hiding something (or when Axel was), it's not like he ever manages to piece together what.]

[heartismyown]

[He pokes Lea's shoulder gently.]

Are you cut anywhere else?

[Roxas steps away with the bowl of water and goes to the sink to change it and rinse out the cloth.]

You didn't answer my question about what you were doing.

[by_heart]

[No he most certainly did not.

Lea turns in the chair so that Roxas can check his back for cuts and so he (conveniently) doesn't have to look at him.]

I'm a busy guy, what can I say? A lot happens in a year.

[heartismyown]

[Roxas sighs heavily.]

You got two cuts back here, but they're not nearly as deep.

[He raises the cloth and starts to clean Lea's back. He can't help but remember what Ikki said, so he's quiet.]
