o10 ★ DON'T RUN WITH SCISSORS

[electrowhipit]

...

I need some help. A medic. A healer. Whatever. Sooner would be... ow. Sooner would be better than later.

I'm at Sideswipe's place... 5718 Cunningham Lane.

It was just an accident.

((ooc; This is what happens when you forget humans don't have armor plating. You'll find Jolt still sitting in the bathtub.))

[ He's still sitting in the tub, and angles himself a little to show her the wound- there's a fairly deep gash in his side, which is covered haphazardly by bandages. Sideswipe is no medic, either. ]

[she looks back, a small frown on her face. Lucky for Jolt, she knows this kind of stuff. She goes back the sink, wets the cloth, then goes to tend to Jolt.]

If you don't mind my asking, how'd you get it?

[electrowhipit]

[ he sort of... frowns as well ]

It's... kind of embarrassing.

Hmmmh.... you don't have to if oyu don't want to.

[she removes those old bandages and starts off cleaning. She's got one of those faces Mom's give their kids whenever they cut their fingers on the knives mommy specifically told them not to touch.]

Let's... just say I sort of forgot I'm not armor-plated anymore. [ He does his very best not to move around as she works, but ow. ]

[D8 you'll feel better soon enough, dear!]

You're.... armor-plated?

[electrowhipit]

[ T-thank you ;-;/ ]

Usually. This town... somehow took away my usual body.

[She goes to put the cloth in the sink and runs it under cold water to clean it, then looks back with a slight frown. She knows somebody with a non-human body, he's always been like that... but....?]

How do you mean? [Not going to assume anything outloud--that's just rude]

[electrowhipit]

[ He flashes her something of a sheepish grin. Explaining this is old hat by now. ] Usually I'm about twenty-five feet tall and made of metal. Woke up in this body when I got here and... I haven't quite adjusted yet.

I see...

[she turns, and gives a gentle smile] You'll have have to be a little more careful, right? [she turns off the sink, wrings out the cloth, kneels down again, and gets just the last bits before moving on to bandaging.]

[electrowhipit]

You don't have to tell me twice.

... My name is Jolt, by the way.

Claire Layton [Actually, it's folly, but she likes being "married" to Layton 8|a ], it's a pleasure--although, I wish it had been on better occasion.
