[ okay. well. alright. yves is just going to bring his medical supply bag over and open it so that saber can have their pick of gauze, bandages, what have you ]
... want me to wipe your face? So I can make it easier for you to see.
[ then yves will do that gingerly, wiping at saber's face with a light hand to remove some of that blood. then going to try to take care of the head injury...
as he continues to try to help with the rest of the injuries: ]
[ at closer inspection, the head injury is another large cut. yippee. there also seems to be a lot of bruising, scarring, and what looks like very tiny animal bites all over holds back tears ]
Um... [ they seem to have to think about it. ] A few things. Something exploded at some point.
[ help me,, yves will just gently help with these injuries as much as saber will allow. a careful, gentle touch of someone used to taking care of a variety of ouchies ]
yves startles for a moment and pauses in his bandaging just so he can reach into his pocket for a handerkchief. his touch is light but he dabs at the tears too ]
You had said that you had to go against a friend, and that was how you died. What would you do if you had to hurt that friend repeatedly, for no real reason?

Were you in a battle?

[ they trail off, and then freeze for a second.
and immediately start crying, sorry. they don't make any sound as it happens, and it takes a second for them to even notice. ]
Oh.

no subject
[ well. this is mortifying. ]
no subject
yves at least will just wipe at their tears nonetheless... ]
You don't need to apologize. It sounds like... you endured a lot.
no subject
[ their gaze drifts away, focusing on the wall instead of yves. ]
This is embarrassing.
[ they will just say it. ]
no subject
yves just smiles gently ]
I can step outside if you need a moment to compose yourself... but I'd like to come back and help finish bandaging your injuries, if that's okay.
no subject
[ why would they admit to needing a moment... ]
Thank you.
no subject
... you don't want to talk about it? Everything that happened to you.
no subject
[ their brain really is not doing great at the moment. ]
And it's not quite a good story.
no subject
[ gently ]
But if it'd help sort things through, or if I can help ease the weight.. I'm here to listen.

he visibly flinches ]
... I'd feel upset. Angry, probably.
[ he never feels it on behalf of himself but for other people? yea ]
no subject
It was something like that.
no subject
[ for such a horrific experience ]
