[miraculess]

I'm trouble. And we both look for that, it seems.

[shutsdown]

...Maybe. [distracted enough to walk past their turn, though.]

[miraculess]

[ she recognizes it and stops there ]

Ah...

[shutsdown]

[keeps going for a few seconds, then pauses, looking over his shoulder.] Ah?

[miraculess]

...Isn't it this way...?

[ pointing. ]

[shutsdown]

[oh oops] Right... [heads back to her side]

[miraculess]

[ mmmmmngh. he really should not have to be on his feet, but he didn't actually walk into anything...

...steeling herself, and offering him her hand ]

[shutsdown]

[reaches reflexively for her hand, then pauses halfway, glancing up to her face again.] Are you sure?

[miraculess]

[ she honestly looks more surprised he'd asked than anything else ]

...It's fine. Just hold on to my wrist; I can't grip properly unless I'm watching what I'm doing.

[shutsdown]

[nods just slightly, taking her wrist.]

[miraculess]

[ even her wrists are cold...

gently going to lead him back to his own squat like that ]

[shutsdown]

[lets himself be led, trusting her to know the way at least]

[miraculess]

[ she does; the advantage of a memory like hers is she only had to see it once. once they get in, she's aiming him in the direction of the blanket ]

Go sit down... Your first aid was in your bag, wasn't it?

[shutsdown]

[cooperatively follows her order.] It is.

[miraculess]

[ gggoing to go take a look at that, then, and try not to think too hard about how much he is trusting her ]

...that bullet is going to have to come out.

[ cautious, trying to gauge his reaction ]

[shutsdown]

So that's what it is... It's still in?

[miraculess]

You'd be a shredded mess where it came out if it weren't.

[shutsdown]

I didn't consider it going through, either... [he may have thought it was magic.]

[miraculess]

...If you'd gotten hit nearly anywhere else it probably would have killed you, whether it went through or not.

[ scooting over, still cautious ]

You didn't know how guns work?

[shutsdown]

... I'm from very far away.

[miraculess]

[ flicks a glance up to his face ]

I wouldn't have guessed. Ah...

...can you. Um. Can you take your shirt off? Or should I...

[ ... makes a sort of ripping gesture ]

[shutsdown]

[reaches to try and winces when it pulls at his shoulder.] ...You'll have to, I think.

[miraculess]

Careful— ...mm. I'll see if I can't find a replacement later...

[ hooking her fingers carefully into the collar of his shirt, on the side away from his injured shoulder so as to jar it as little as possible when she rips it straight open down the front

...blinking at her handiwork and pinking, slightly, although between her mismatched skin and the lower light it might be difficult to tell... ]

[shutsdown]

[he winces when the shirt rips, but tries not to react otherwise. and yes hello he's very attractive under that shirt. ABS!!! It's hard for him to make out her blush, though, especially when his vision is getting fuzzy at the edges.] Don't worry about that... [kind of vaguely. ps that wound is fucking intense.]

[miraculess]

[ hissing softly through her teeth and going very abruptly businesslike as soon as she sees it— that would be enough to bother her. ]

Ah— try to stay with me. Even if you'd rather you didn't.

[ please tell her his first aid kit has tweezers or something to go in after that bullet, her fingers are filthy... ]
