“I think you’d better take a break.” for childe ! | @ettufulmen

"Is this a trick?" Childe stretches his arms above his head as he yawns, muscles fighting him after hours of overuse. "Not like you to worry about me, our esteemed little Balladeer." A cheeky grin curves over his lips as he glances over. "Careful now, I might start to think you like me!"

“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?” lyney @ lynette he's stupid you are allowed to bully him (affectionate) | @unknownths

"The probability of your survival just dropped 5%." Lynette deadpans, staring at her brother, unblinking, while finishing wrapping a bandage around his leg. Her ear flicks as she finally drops her gaze, pushing his leg off of her lap.

"You need to be more careful." She knows better than to think this will work, but she can't help herself. "There are major arteries in the thigh. If that glass had cut you a little higher, you really could have died." It's unlikely, Lynette knows that. But it's just a brush too close with something serious that sets her heart off to the races, panicking just at the thought of losing Lyney to something like that.

She turns, busying herself with repacking the first aid kit to stash in the greenroom again.

"We do plenty of life-threatening work for Father. We don't need to take any undue risks elsewhere."

❛ don’t you know how sick with love i am for you? ❜ i offer blade one (1) dragon | @moondevours

"I wish I didn't know." Blade replies without a moment's hesitation. His gaze narrows, almost sick himself from the display of sincerity before him. Somehow, he thinks, this might all be easier if Dan Feng was lying.

"If only your sickness ended at love." He spits the word, dripping with vitriol. "Perhaps then things would be different." Anger churns in his stomach, mixing with a vile assortment of guilt, regret, and yearning.

HURT / COMFORT : STARTERS

a collection of quotes, phrases, and sayings for when your muse needs a little TLC. change & alter as needed.

THE HURT:

“Nah, it’s not that bad. I’ve had worse.”

“I don’t think I can walk that far… or at all.”

“I’m fine. I don’t need your help.”

“Will you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?”

“I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.”

“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”

“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”

“I think I need help.”

“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”

“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”

“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”

“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”

“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”

“Yeah, but you should see the other guy.”

“I’m fine. This just happens sometimes. It’s normal for me.”

“I’ve got a headache.”

“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”

“I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help, and I definitely don’t need your pity. Fuck off.”

“Please tell me I don’t look as bad as I feel.”

“I think I’m running a fever.”

“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?”

“Stop fussing over me! I’m not a baby!”

“Can I stay with you tonight? I just… really don’t want to be alone right now.”

“No, I-I’m okay. It was just a nightmare. Go back to sleep.”

“I… can’t actually remember the last time I had something to eat.”

“You shouldn’t be here. You’ll get sick, too.”

THE COMFORT:

“Honey, have you been crying? What is it? What’s wrong?”

“I think you’d better take a break.”

“It’s not your fault, sweetheart. You did everything you could.”

“You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m right here for you if you’ll just let me in.”

“There’s nothing wrong with you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don’t ever let yourself believe that there is.”

“You really don’t realize just how many people love you, do you?”

“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!”

“I’m sorry. I know it hurts.”

“You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.”

“Let’s get you some food.”

“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”

“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”

“Tell me where it hurts.”

“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay? I’m not gonna leave you. I’m never gonna leave you.”

“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”

“What happened to you, baby?”

“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”

“You look like shit, man.”

“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”

“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”

“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”

@galacticistic <3'd for a starter !!

"I hear this here establishment is known for... discretion?" Boothill twirls a bullet between his fingers as he leans against the bar. He's found a nice shaded spot to stay out of the way and observe. Sure, he knows better than to ply any of the girls for information, but his whole operation will collapse a whole lot faster if they were to tip off the IPC to his presence.

"So if a gentleman were to desire some fudgin'," His mouth twists down slightly at the censored words, "privacy. You lovely ladies aren't prone to go blabbin' now are you?"

He tips his hat up just enough to flash his face to the woman behind the bar. "If so, I'll take a glass of your strongest. Neat."

For a moment, Xiao's brow furrows, glancing over the backroom of the pharmacy. It's oddly quiet and empty. Well, until he looks to the floor, and finds a small pile of collapsed pharmacist, Changsheng curled up on top of him.

"Baizhu?" Xiao tilts his chin, eyes narrowing. He steps forward and tentatively nudges him with his foot.

Admittedly, he knows very little about medicine - let alone for humans. But it would be in poor taste to just leave him there... right? It would. Cloud Retainer would never let him live it down. Xiao nudges the Baizhu-bundle with a little more urgency, crouching down to get a better view of his pallid complexion.

He puts a finger in front of the man's nose and mouth, glad to feel soft puffs of breath at the very least.

"I brought tea leaves from Xianyun for you." After a moment, Xiao holds one pungent leaf in front of Baizhu's nose, hoping that may snap him back to consciousness.

@aeviare <3'd for a starter!

The House of Daena is alive with the sounds of scratching pens, flipping pages, murmuring between study groups. It's... irritating. But he has a paper due in the morning, and an appointment with Nahida in the evening - so he needs to finish marking his citations sooner than later to get everything together in time.

Mostly, he just wants to take a break.

As per usual, Aether seems to know just when to show up to save him. Of course he seems to be tailing the scribe, but that's of no consequence. Not for Michizane, anyway. Without a moment's hesitation, Michizane jumps up from his spot tucked away in the corner, and steps between Aether and the scribe.

"I didn't know you were in Sumeru." He frowns slightly. Only slightly pouting, really. His fingers thread together through Aether's and he tugs him away from his current company, and back towards his corner.
