"Alright..." I lifted his other arm and we collectively dragged him to his feet....well, foot, as he tried not to put weight on one of them. I helped her lead him to the purple canopy bed and lay him down. "...should I take off his boot?" "Dear god /please don't/."

"It'd probably be best to....carefully, at least."

🌀

"Don't, don't, don't...." "...it's okay, Madison, just....hold still." I tried to grab the boot by the barest bit of fabric hanging off his toes and tugged carefully as he bit his tongue at the pain. His boot's very long, I don't know if this will....I got his foot into the upper part of the shoe, where there was no way to get it out without having him bend his toes.

"Here." She held out her arm. "Hold my hand. Breaking anything is never fun."

🌀

He took her hand and squeezed until his knuckles went white. I tried pulling it off slowly and he cried out in pain. ....it looks like I might have to take the bandaid approach. Take a deep breath, alright?

What--

I jerked it off in one quick motion and he nearly passed out.

She gripped his hand tightly. At least it was over now."

🌀

He was breathing heavily. I looked down at his foot and winced. It was dark purple, nearly black. What did he do to it...?

●

"Dropped a sword on it. He might need some ice."

2016-06-21 10:08:23

🌀

"A /sword/? How could he possibly....." I took a corner of blanket and wrapped it up a little, filling it with ice and pressing it gently to his foot and ankle.

2016-06-21 10:09:43

●

"No idea. Here." She took a pillow and placed it under his foot.

2016-06-22 05:45:39

🌀

"I fell asleep holding a fucking sword," he mumbled through gritted teeth as his damaged foot was lifted. "Why were you...." "To wake myself up."

2016-06-22 05:46:58

●

"There. That'll help it heal faster." She returned to Madison's side.

2016-06-22 05:48:07

🌀

"You know what'd help it heal faster? Magic." "....I thought you couldn't use it on yourself." "Not mine."

2016-06-22 05:49:29

●

"What do you mean?"

2016-06-22 06:03:04

🌀

"Remember? When you fixed my ankle before."

2016-06-22 06:05:16

●

"...Yeah. By kissing you."

2016-06-22 06:12:05

🌀

"By kissing my ankle. ...I'm sure it won't hurt much more than the actual healing process."

2016-06-22 06:14:38

●

"..." She moved slowly towards his foot.

2016-06-22 06:15:15

🌀

"...do you...not want to? Sorry for asking, it just...seemed easier....."

2016-06-22 06:17:30

●

"No I'm just..."She looked at Seculus. "Not sure if he's okay with it."

2016-06-22 06:19:32

🌀

I wasn't annoyed, just confused. "What exactly is this about literally kissing him better...? How long have you been able to do that?"

2016-06-22 06:20:13

●

"I don't know...since I kissed you after being slapped?"

2016-06-22 06:22:28

🌀

"...was that magic? It didn't seem like...hm. Well, of course I'm okay with it, healing is healing....I wouldn't want him to be in pain any longer than necessary. It's healing with love, isn't it?"

2016-06-22 06:24:19

●

"Yes."

2016-06-22 06:35:25

🌀

"...I know it's not /that/ kind of love...so of course it's fine." Madison seemed to be panicking a little. Was she stalling because she didn't love him anymore? I put a hand on his shoulder. ....it's okay. She's just clearing things up with me.
