I thought you liked my sappy faces.

[gonna give her cheek a kiss.]

[nooo now she's going to have feelings]

Maybe.

[sorry about your feelings]

"Maybe"?

Mm.

[she definitely likes his sappy faces, but she doesn’t know what to do with all these feelings especially right now because of all the people. And also she’s worried about Joker and wants to fuss]

Do you need anything?

[... this is just a reminder that he will likely want to be kissing cute faces like hers but unfortunately he is still goopey and has a case of vomit breath.]

Too early to ask for the bathroom assist?

No, of course not. Come on.

[she will stand up to help him]

[shifting so he can move off the crash space, movements stiff and mechanical, still pretty shaky and wobbly but reaching out to grab for her shoulder as he gets to his feet.

it's definitely. not pleasant. still pretty painful. but he's mostly breathing through it. somehow it's a surprise just how painful it can still be like, wtf demands refund on new skin.]

[she’s willing to support most of his weight if she has to. She helps him, as gently as she can]

Should I call someone from SensitIV?

Not sure how SensitIV can help with "body reformed after internal organs were liquefied and skin melted off before more tissue was digested by parasitic mold before being frozen in the vacuum of space"--painkillers'll help.

[he can say the thing because if he doesn't think about it, it didn't actually happen.]

[she...falters a bit at the description. Not physically, she’s still holding him up. But mentally it takes her a minute to digest and respond]

They...can numb pain...

[she attempts to elaborate, but her tone no longer holds much conviction]

[yeah, uh.

nope.

refusing to think about it further than that.]

But then I can't move around...

[just painkillers is clearly superior option?]

...Yeah, okay. Do we have some, or do I need to buy them?

[uhhhhhh...]

I can help with getting them if you need...

[probably order stronger stuff...]

I have points, it's okay.

Okay.

[bathroom has been reached.

time to... get clean.]

[She will turn on the water for him]

How much help do you want?

[working to get his clothes off]

Probably need some help washing my back...

[surprise: all the scarring from the whole experience is... extensive. at least it'll only take one scar removal to handle, though, because y i k e s.]

I can do that.

[She can help him with his clothes, too, especially if he seems to be struggling at all. Though she does pause when she sees the condition his back is in.]

Joker...

[She touches the scar gently. As gently as possible really because she's not sure if touching will cause more pain or not.]

[it kinda does, the way newly healed scars do but he only inhales a bit sharply.]

--I'll get 'em removed. Got the points for it. The others... should probably, too.

I was more worried about it hurting, but...that makes sense.

[She's gonna find a cloth and some soap so she can wash his back]

[he's gonna... sit down and settle in the tub or shower or whatever they've got. very gingerly.]

... it hurts.

[said kinda quietly because it's definitely not something he's wanting to admit to because no one else is really whining or complaining about it, just... dealing with it. so...]

More like--remembered pain. Than active. If that makes sense? Nerves're screaming like it's still happening kinda.

[except he tells himself he can deal with it because it's over, it's not real, it's just some stupid effect, it's not real]

[well, she doesn't seem to find it unreasonable or surprising.]

Yeah, it makes sense. Your body's been through a major trauma. I wouldn't expect the pain to go away completely after just a few hours.

[She will settle next to him and wash his back carefully with the cloth. She's meticulously gentle, kind of like she's had some experience with this kind of caretaking at some point in the past.]

[he seems to sag a little with some kind of relief? had half a fear that she'd get mad and storm off to drag Nya in and insist on numbing but. thank that not happening.

instead he's fumbling with the shampoo a little because grossness.]

Mm... I'm glad you, Senpai, Hades, and Anon weren't there.

[mostly because if Silk had been there, how the fuck would Bad End even manage, lbr? Senpai because well, last game was Bad and Hades and Anon are... new. ish.]

[He said he didn't want numbing, so she's not going to force it on him. She will offer him the painkillers Cobalt bought after he's finished getting washed up, though.]

Yeah, if all of us had been there it would have been...an even bigger mess.

[She watches him with the shampoo as she works on his back.]

I can do your hair, too, if you want.

[thinks about it for a moment before nodding. he's so tired, really.]

Probably easier.

And I can wash this gross taste out of my mouth.

[grossness]
