Anyone out there know how to do stitches? Asking for a friend.

On a completely unrelated note what to do with a concussion and possible brain damage?

[Quieter.]

...The brain damage is old don't worry about it.

Only other thing I can think of is ice. We've got some help on the way, should be back before you know it.

[He is confused by the worrying but he'll accept it. They're soldiers, they're used to functioning while injured.]

Re: [Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

[And he's a doctor. Sorta. Worrying about other people's help is his job. Especially because he's used to young people getting hurt for stupid reasons.]

Take care getting back. Don't speed. I don't want to get called into the hospital for an overload shift because you guys got hurt even worse.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Cadet's honor.

[There's a small snicker there, they don't have much honor. But yeah they'll try to get back without incident. No one needs that. And hey, he's not that much younger than David! He thinks.]

Re: [Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Is that like a Boy Scout?

[He's very confused. And David got hurt for stupid reasons too. He's not excluding himself from the list.]

[Private]

[firacrux]

If a Boy Scout is like a soldier, sure.

[He doesn't know of Boy Scouts.]

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Uh... it's really not.

I'm just... not going to ask.

[Private]

[firacrux]

What, soldiers weird to you or somethin'?

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

No, it just seems private.

[Not even young soldiers are weird to him. And Seifer seemed legal.]

Your potential military training probably isn't my business, right? That's your home life. Not your here life.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Doesn't matter. It's who I am and who I was. I don't know anything else.

[Oh, he's legal now. Technically legal by the standards of his world as well but his world is a bucket of fucked up.]

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Fair enough. I just don't feel like prying into a past like that is fair without offering one's own forward.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Understandable. Guess I just don't consider that part very private. Like how most people have families, you talk about 'em. It just is.

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Well, if you ever do wish to speak about it, I'm here. I can offer you some stories about the school I went to that ended up training soldiers when it was only supposed to teach.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Sounds similar, maybe we've got something in common there.

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Perhaps. If you're a mutant.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Nope, just a child soldier magically enhanced until I might as well be.

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

That... is definitely a new one for me.

[Private]

[firacrux]

Well I'm not currently magically enhanced, don't have any Guardian Force here. Anyway, that's a thing.

Re: [Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Okay, what recipe do I have to teach you to learn what a 'Guardian Force' is?

[Private]

[firacrux]

Hm. Alright. Tell you what. You teach me how to make curry, I'll tell you all about Guardian Forces.

And feed me 'cause I'm fuckin' dying right now.

[Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Curry? That's not that hard. I'll get what I can for that. Not for tonight, though. If someone might have head trauma I want to make sure they absolutely eat something. I'll go simpler.

But give me a night and I'll get the ingredients. Preferences for style? Thai or Indian, spicy or not? Vegetarian or meat?

[Private]

[firacrux]

Not tonight. Don't got the energy for tonight.

Uuuh... I don't know what Thai or Indian is. Spicy? Meat. Gotta have meat. You pick.

Re: [Private]

[helpdesk_hero]

Alright then. I'll find something spicy. And buy the spices. My treat. But you have to tell me all about 'Guardian Forces'.

[Private]

[firacrux]

You got yourself a deal.
