Ah, there’s no need for such formalities. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you - please, call me Azure.

[said as one who normally is drowning in formalities at all times]

Pierced with scissors, to be specific. Fortunately it didn’t hit any major blood vessels.

[ordimame]

[oh. . . he relaxes a bit when he is called out on his formality, because he hadn't meant to be so stiff. the look Azure gets is apologetic, before it tightens into pinched brows and a firmly set jaw]

An injury like that. . . [no. he redirects] . . . I'm glad it wasn't any worse than it could have been.

I assume someone has already stitched you up?

[brokenlance]

Yes, Snowdrop is a proficient medical student. She had already begun applying first aid even in the midst of battle. I cannot commend her enough.

[ordimame]

Yeah. Good for her.

[that sentiment is sincere]

Not everyone is capable of staying calm under pressure like that. When you say "the midst of battle," what do you mean--?

[brokenlance]

Most of the stitches were done from behind cover, while we were still under fire. And yet her hands did not waver or shake.

[He's truly impressed by that. Even hardened healers can panic while battle rages around them]

[ordimame]

[jesus. Puck is pretty sure he would have cracked in a situation like that]

Is she doing okay now?

[he knows from experience that stress and panic can have a pretty delayed onset. creep up on someone in the aftermath, while they're still trying to process what had happened]

[brokenlance]

My fear is that she is still over extended... As our nurse, and one of the only uninjured members, she has been caring for all of us.

[He saw her passed out napping on the couch! She never does that!!!]

I've greatly appreciated the food people have brought to us, as it is at least one burden she can be relieved of.

[ordimame]

[she deserves i!!]

Food, huh? It's an appropriate gift, considering what you guys have done for us.

[he takes a moment to consider this, before folding his arms and nodding, determined]

All right! That's how I'll show you my gratitude. I'll make you something so you guys can focus on rest and recovery.

[brokenlance]

[Dimitri's face softens with relief]

Thank you... I greatly appreciate it. It's heartening to see that so many people have shown us such thoughtfulness and generosity.

[ordimame]

[. . . it is, isn't it? even despite some people's concerns that their little community may one day be shattered with forced competition between the classes]

[. . .]

[Puck doesn't want to think about that right now, though. so he doesn't!]

It's really a testament to how much people care!

[brokenlance]

[yeah! optimism!]

I'm especially surprised that even people we have no ties to would come by simply to see if we were well.

If you are to come by more often, then - tell me about yourself, Puck. Did you attend a school like this one?

[ordimame]

[IS IT OPTIMISM OR DELUSION. . . ONLY TIME WILL TELL]

[for now, Puck is happy to move along with the sudden shift in conversation]

I did. [he nods!] Other than the. . . ghosts. . . and the way the entire building seems to be falling apart, it's extremely similar to your run-of-the-mill high school.
