[Well, that's better than nothing. He inclines his head a bit when she thrusts the first aid kit at him, before sighing and wiping a hand down his face.]
I'm not cut up. [Wolfwood had gotten hit with the business end of some baseball bats, only he's not about to say as much. Can't be seen, anyway.] You're the one bleeding all over yourself.
[Taking the kit out of her hands, he cracks it open with a critical glance. It's basically the same stuff he'd use if he was at home.]
I don't want to deal with you passing out from blood loss, so go sit down.
[ wow, offensive!!!!! it's very tempting to huff back at these rude accusations, but captain cranky seems to want to help, for some reason, and her arm is still bleeding slowly under her wad of makeshift bandaging, so she does as she's told with a small sigh ]
If you run into them again, watch out for the guys with nailbats. That's what got me.
[ once sitting she falls quiet, rolling up the remains of her sleeve for easier access ]
[Finally, some cooperation. He raises his eyebrows slightly at the nailbats comment, but it's beyond saying much about at this point. They've all seen what these local hooligans have been picking up for their rioting.]
If they try that shit on me, they won't like where I shove their bats.
[Wolfwood pulls out a tiny bottle of antiseptic and shakes it a little, before grabbing a cotton ball.]
I've got no idea why they're all being such lunatics either.
Well, I dunno how it started, but once a mob starts going, it's easy for other people to get swept up in it... Dreamers, too.
[ that comes out more somber than she intended, and she's not eager to linger on the subject. she is not a seven foot tall buff guy who can make good on those threats, but the last thing she wants to do is admit to this stranger she's scared, so clearly!! time to lighten the mood? ]
Me too!! If one of those creeps comes at us, I'll really let 'em have it!
[ puffing her cheeks out for emphasis. maybe she can get a smile or laugh out of this guy, or at the very least, a non-scowl ]
[It does get some raised eyebrows out of him, does that count?]
Yeah, their shins won't know what hit 'em. Okay, hold still.
[Wolfwood says that at the exact same time he starts swabbing the cut on her arm. It may not be enough warning for the stinging that is about to ensue.]
[ it is not enough warning for sure, she yelps!!! comically at first, but it seems to strain her throat so it becomes a coughing fit. by some miracle, she keeps the injured arm still for him, but the rest of her hunches over ]
[A bit of an outsized reaction to his mind. Then again, Wolfwood's pain tolerance could charitably be called 'insane', so he's not really going to judge her for that. The coughing gets a slight frown out of him.]
You can grab some water when I'm done. [He's not about to stop halfway then come back to it, that's just mean. Wolfwood continues swabbing for a few seconds before letting go of her arm and diving back into the kit for the gauze.] Even though their shins deserve whatever you'd give 'em, probably better off not trying it for a while.
[ she does recover just as quickly, just a bit of a wince as he works and back to a bright grin. gotta keep the bravado up ]
I'll try to restrain myself... but I can't promise anything if those creeps get you cornered!
[ since clearly, he needs the protection from his new three foot tall bodyguard. she tries not to fidget in place while he's getting the gauze, since the wound hasn't even closed yet. a bit of blood trickles down her arm. now she sounds quieter. contrite, even. ]
.... Thank you. Sorry about, um.... all the blood....
[ yes, it's that time where maya apologizes for being hurt ]
[It's gauze time, though he's quick and efficient about it. There's no getting around the discomfort of it for Maya - at least he's taping it up before she has much time to think about it.]
You can kick 'em higher than that. Might work out better for you.
[If she can't fight fair, fight dirty. He snorts a bit, straightening up and tossing the gauze back into the kit.]
[ she makes a valiant effort to keep grinning through it and pretend she isn't in pain, but it is very obvious that she is. it takes enough effort that she stops talking for a minute, (incredible) though she nods in response to the kicking advice. yeah!! kicking!! ]
[ once it's over and he's putting the gauze away she lets out a long breath through her nose. ]
Is it always like this here?
[ crazy angry mobs and such. it may become apparent she is fresh blood here. pun intended ]

[He shakes his head, snapping the kit shut. He's too new himself to be confirming anyone's worst fears. It does not bode well, however.]
But in my experience they'll wear themselves out eventually. [Speaking of--] Now go sit down somewhere before you pass out.
