come on and fill my prescription

[yagen]

[kbc got you down? artillery fire just happen to take out your cavalry? hey, it's okay. yagen understands. sometimes you're injured, but you're just not badly injured enough for the saniwa to spend forty minutes repairing you. other times, you're injured, but so is your whole party, which means you're stuck waiting your forty minutes... and everyone else's. just to fix up a couple of scratches. not really worth it, huh?

in times like these, you can always visit yagen's highly professional emergency clinic — which is really just his room, and not very professional at all, but who really cares, right? you can trust him; he's a doctor. except he's not that kind of doctor. he might not even be a doctor at all.]

Have a seat. What seems to be the problem?

[ It's very, very rare the that First Party gets actually hit badly enough to retreat - and when they do, it is by something quite devastating indeed. Thanks, glowy blue kbcs.

Mitsutada is without his eyepatch for the first time in possibly weeks, instead combing his dark blue hair down over his mutilated eye in its place. It'll have to do, for now. ]

Hey, Yagen. Can I borrow some of your stuff?

[ He doesn't sound like he's in too much pain, but the copious amounts of blood on his shirt definitely say otherwise. Gotta keep cool even in these situations...! ]

[yagen]

Shokudaikiri Mitsutada. [he says. sounding. unimpressed.]

[he's actually reasonably concerned, but that's not going to show on his face quite so easily.] You are going to need a lot more than just some of my "stuff." [but he gestures vaguely to his bandages and other first-aid things.] Help yourself.

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Mitsutada chuckles, though it's more of awkwardly than anything else. In any other instance he would have perhaps shrugged or otherwise indicate that this Isn't A Big Matter at all, but he can't go around denying several very obvious slash wounds, so he just lets that slide. ]

Thanks. [ At least he isn't bleeding all over the floor like Ookurikara might have. ] I'm last in line, so I might be here a bit longer than expected, haah.

[ He exhales slowly through his teeth, starting to pull out several drawers. Let the others get fixed first, he had said - and while the relieved smiles on his friends' faces took the edge off his pain, it isn't enough to make it go away altogether. ]

Anyone else come in yet?

[yagen]

Several others. It must have been a rough battle. I don't normally get so many visitors — but I do hope we were victorious?

[it's a question, but before yagen gets an answer, he frowns at mitsutada's strained sigh.] Mitsutada. If you're in pain, just say so. I won't think any less of you if you ask me to do your treatment.

[candlecutterpikachu]

We were.

[ At least, that means their sacrifice was not for naught. ]

We'll learn from it, that's for sure. We won't be caught that easily. [ Because the First Squad is the elite of the elite, and they simply cannot afford to slack off.

He raises an eyebrow at Yagen's last sentence. ] I'll be fine, honestly. Plus, I wouldn't want to waste your things when they could be used for someone else.

[ Like the younger swords, whose pain tolerance threshold might not be so high. ]

[yagen]

...alright, then. [it's a response both to his affirmation of victory and his refusal of treatment. yagen's not one to force anyone to do anything (besides surrender), and he respects mitsutada's self-assessment more than he might with other swords.]

Take one of these, at least. [he opens a desk drawer and offers ccp an eyepatch — not his cool black one, of course, but the standard medical kind for eye infections and the like.] Since your hair won't stay in place forever.

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ He pauses when Yagen offers him the eyepatch, blinking for a split-second before he musters up enough energy for a grateful smile. ]

Thanks.

[ Slipping it on casually now. He's still careful to obscure his right eye (or what remains of it) from view, though. ]

Don't think I've said this enough before, but - thanks. Really. For doing these things.

[ Such as taking care of people when Mitsutada is away. Fellow Team Moms need to appreciate each other. ]

[yagen]

[for what it's worth, yagen affords him the courtesy of not looking; no need to peer too deeply into others' wounds, anyway. at the expression of thanks, shota Team Mom blinks at one-eyed Team Mom before breaking into a smile of his own, waving mitsutada's gratitude away with a gloved hand.]

There's no need to thank me. I'm only doing my part for the general and everyone else. As long as everyone is alive at the end of the day, that's thanks enough.

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ He smiles, sighing. They're of the same mind, then. ]

It feels nice seeing people happy, doesn't it?
