Characters: Terezi and Bluekat
Setting: In the dorms, just after Karkat returns.
Format: Action?
Summary: Terezi thinks Bluekat is being a huge wriggler about this whole "alternate version" business. TIME TO LAY DOWN THE LAW.
Warnings: None!

[Terezi would never, ever understand why she kept becoming friends with cudmudgeonly boys with egos made of glass. Karkat's little temper tantrum had been one of the most ridiculous things she'd seen.

But, to be fair, she could understand why he was frustrated.

That didn't mean he had to be such a baby about it.

So Terezi knocks on his door, tapping her cane against her shoe impatiently.]

[She holds her arm out obediently.]

Like who?

I don't know. I'll call someone on the network.

[Casually wetting the cloth at the sink and moving it over to soak up the blood.]

[Wrinkling her nose.]

Are you going to make this a big deal?

I wasn't kidding when I said it looked like shit, Terezi. I can't fix this.

[She sighs, sobering a bit.]

Okay, okay.

[Casually makes this (http://animus-network.livejournal.com/18945.html) entry.]

[ A few minutes later, Jade shows up, looking fairly serious and more grown up than she ever has. This is something she excels at; the healing of injuries, the patching up and the sewing together. ]

What happened?

[ casually follows. sideyeing everyone behind his shades... ]

[Terezi is looking a irritated and a lot woozy. She pretty much ignores Jade's question.]

It isn't a big deal, Jegus! I bet Karkat made it sound like I was about to keel over.

[Then she catches a whiff of orange creamsicles and smirks.]

Ooooh, Davesprite, were you worried about me?

Calm your nook, I didn't say anything incriminating.

[Glancing at Jade. Different. Preferable, in his opinion. But now's not really the time for that.]

She got impaled.

[ She steps closer and looks at the injury-- ouch, even without the weird blood it looks pretty bad. ]

Um...Dave, can you find me some antiseptic? And medical thread, and a needle.

[ yeah, it... looks really gross. he's trying not to wince. ]

Sure. Came down here to get my fret on. Need another pillow? I'll grab you some soup and we'll talk until you've got the warm fuzzies.

[ ah, cut the banter we need to fetch shit for jade. he gives her a nod, shuffling around to locate everything. ]

[She grins and swings her legs, but whoops. Woozy again.]

Such a gentleman!

[Karkat watches suspiciously, leaning himself next to the bed Terezi settled herself on. The corner of his mouth continues to twitch every time the teal troll moves her arm, but he does a pretty good job of keeping it hidden.

He grumbles under his breath at Davesprite's 'fussing'.]

Barf.

[ She examines the wound carefully, holding out a hand for the needed materials. ]

I'm going to clean it, and then stitch it up, and then clean it again, okay?

[ hands things to her in order, like the most excellent nurse. ]

Did another troll do this?

[Terezi nods at Jade, wondering if these stitches will hurt herself or Karkat. His powers are still kind of a mystery to her, but she's pretty sure he doesn't want anyone to know what's happened. She reaches for his hand, pretending to need something to hold onto.]

Ready!

[And then she turns her attention back to Davesprite.]

It was some sort of weird, horned hoofbeast in that forest.

[It seems Karkat knows, because when she takes a hold of his hand, it feels a bit clamy. A little residual pain from a fleshwound? A-ok. Stitches without something to numb it?

Not so much.

But his pokerface is unshakable...for the moment.]

[ Jade deftly cleans the wound, wiping away the excess blood and cleaning the area around it with a gentle hand. She knows that it stings when she cleans the gash proper -- she's done this herself, and it hurts like hell to get rid of the infection. But she doesn't want to be remiss and take any chances.

After it's clean, she unwraps the needle from its packaging -- already sterilized, she's happy for that -- and threads the surgical wire through. Then, she looks at Terezi. If there was anything like hesitancy in her face when she entered, it's gone now. ]

This is going to hurt. Maybe a lot. Are you ready?

[ nurse davesprite isn't going to watch because ew?? ]

[Terezi nods, tensing and turning her head towards Karkat. She tightens her grip on his hand, wondering if he'll be able to hold it together.]

[Karkat does everything in his power not to meet anyone's eyes. It doesn't stop him from swallowing roughly or bracing himself by allowing all his muscles to tighten.]

[ Jade takes a breath and begins stitching up the other girl's arm. Troll skin is a little different, she thinks -- less fragile -- but she bites her lip and gets the work done. It doesn't take long before she's carefully snipping the surgical thread, giving the entire wound another dose of rubbing alcohol. She wishes she had the high tech equipment from back home, but she can't help that. ]

There.

[ A nod. ]

[ despite himself he watched anyway, and it was disgusting. new found respect for jade over here. ]

Is that all?

[Terezi doesn't feel any of the pain - all she feels is pressure as the needle enters her skin and a vague tugging as the thread is pulled through. She does her best to keep their attention off of Karkat anyway, letting out a squeak as Jade begins suturing her wound and gritting her teeth.

It was surprisingly quick, though. Jade certainly knew was she was doing, and soon enough Terezi was turning back towards Jade and Davesprite.]

All fixed, huh?
