Hey, Malcolm.

[ His voice sounds rather gravelly. ]

Another inmate decided to show up attacking people. I'm in the infirmary- broken ribs. Could you bring some loose clothing? I fought him as a wolf.

I'm all right otherwise. Just wanted to get the important things out of the way.

It was a vampire, one of our vampire hunters stepped in and- can you use the magic portal to teleport here? Just in case they're still fighting. Uh, he'd nearly drained Harkin, and Iris was fighting him when I got there.

[ Will is on a bed near Harkin (he wouldn't budge on that) and he smiles weakly at Malcolm. Thanks for bringing him something better than a hospital gown. ]

I got us here, with the same method you just used. I don't know about the vampire...might still be in the greenhouse, if they're still fighting.

[ Hmmm. ]

Stay here with me. Please?

[ He holds his hand out towards Malcolm, palm up. Waiting for Malcolm to reach for it. ]

[ Good. Good. Will knew it'd probably work out just fine, but he'll keep his love close today. He takes a look at the 'ice pack' and breaks into a warm laugh. ]

It wouldn't be 'recovering from an injury' without your bag of peas. Thank you.

[ At the question, he looks towards the area with privacy curtains and lets out a sigh. ]

Yeah, let's go get that over with. Then we can relax a little. Help me up? I might lean pretty hard. [ Probably more than he strictly needs to. ]

[ Will does lean quite a bit, and only groans once as they make their way to a spot with privacy. He looks extra focused on the task of sloughing off the gown and pulling on the soft clothes, but he does stop to address the questions. ]

He'll be okay...he didn't die. Just needs to rest and recuperate. I'm...[ He lowers his voice a little. ] I could probably go now...not much to do with cracked ribs. But I want to stay for Harkin. I don't want to leave him till he's out of here.

[ He thinks even Shaw could catch Malcolm's distress, honestly. He takes his time pulling the sweatpants on. But at the end he reaches for Malcolm's shoulder, sways a bit towards Malcolm, and- kisses him on the lips and cheek. Just quick pecks. ]

I doubt it. He hates it here, and he can go rest up more safely in my cabin.

[ Will gives Malcolm a slightly assessing look. ]

How're you holding up? I know it's harder for both of us, seeing the other get hurt. I'm...okay, though. Really. Couple of weeks and I'll be good as new.
empathicfault: (Tell me about it)

Re: audio

[personal profile] empathicfault 2024-06-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ Will says it with a gentle tone and a soft smile. ]

You can. There's a lot of big damn heroes here. Even some vampire hunters, and one was engaging him when I left. Let's...here, help me with the shirt and we'll check the network. Okay? But I think a lot of people are on it already.

...I'm sorry about Walter, though. That's rough.

[ Will groans lightly at even the small twist he has to do, but Malcolm's got him pretty well covered. ]

Of course. I don't mind. I'll try to stay out of the way if wardening is happening.

[ He said the same of Kikimora, so Malcolm probably knows the easygoing way Will can manage to stay in the background if something Official is happening. ]

And...uh. Off topic, but- you know you can pace or move around or whatever around me, right? If it makes you feel better?
empathicfault: (Beginning)

Re: audio

[ Yeah, that's what Will expected. He addresses the concern first, shifting the bag of peas so it's against the most bruised part of his body. He winces briefly as the cold hits, then settles as it begins to numb. ]

I don't really need shoes, anyway. Don't worry about it.

And I mean- whenever you're upset, you start shifting around and then stop. It's an aspect to autism. Fidgeting and rocking and turning in circles are ways to stimulate your mind so you don't feel overstimulated by everything else. I imagine your mother conditioned you out of it early on...but you don't have to stop that here.

[ Standing where he is, it's easy to kiss Malcolm on the side of the head, and Will does so. ]

[ Aw. Will had been hoping that would sufficiently distract Malcolm for a bit, but- that's tough to do when Will is hurt. He nods and takes Malcolm's arm, starting the shuffle back to the bed near his brother. ]

Thank you.

We can uncondition you together. I'm betting it'll go easier than the conditioning did, but it still might take awhile before it feels more natural...and you're not jumping on your own actions automatically. Luckily, we've got plenty of time.
empathicfault: (Settle)

[ All right, all right. Will puts his full attention on Malcolm's concerns. He'd have to address it sooner rather than later, anyway. ]

Even for a vampire- for what I know of a vampire- he seemed to have an advantage. Because it was Iris, too. She's no slouch in the combat department.

[ Will has his arm over Malcolm's shoulders and does indeed continue to lean on him pretty hard as they walk. ]

But no, we don't yet know who he is. Let's get settled and check the network. There's got to be someone yelling about it by now.

Yep. He was there first. I suspect the vampire attacked him unprovoked, because that's always how it seems to go with Harkin. I smelled blood, then him, and started running. Iris was there when I reached them, already fighting. I changed and jumped in, managed to distract him from snapping Iris' jaw off.

[ He didn't do nothing, but he's aware that they were extremely outclassed, even against an inmate. ]
