Yeah. It definitely helps knowing they're healing somewhere, but how they got there in the first place still isn't great.
[ which shows in laurence's emotions, too - sadness, longing. but maybe the tiniest bit of hope, too, and that's the most dangerous part. ]
Because there were two groups of people we all care about coming back injured, right? [ it was bad enough with one. ] You guys were really busy. I kind of wish I could help, but...
[ there's a nod to that, a ripple through his emotions of worry and deep, deep care. ]
Yes. [ ... ] I had not even thought that those particular incidents could intensify - that there were two was concerning. I do think we have a bit more access to magical items and the like, at least, that can take care of injuries, but... if they are not immediately used publicly in the moment, then it becomes a chance for suspicion on Saturday.
[ which is even worse!!! let their injured heal damn!! but: ]
You did help, you know. Yesterday. [ with a little huff. ] Those running legs of yours came in very helpful indeed.
[ there's a blip of surprise... healing items? he hasn't heard of any of those. granted, he's not been involved in anything that could incur injuries, anyway. it melts into a vague sense of relief. that's good. ]
Why wouldn't they use them in public? [ if people are dying what are they all being shy about. ] Maybe it's fine as long as you guys can get them stable, but there's no reason to just let them be miserable.
[ like!! hello!!
with a little flush of embarrassment, ] They don't normally run like that, though.
It may just be the chaos of the moment. [ (mods voice) no one wants their injuries 100% healed ] I had one, a few weeks ago, and even I didn't have the chance to use it right away - we were so caught up in triage that I barely remembered until we had everyone already to the hospital.
[ there's a little flicker of guilt, there - logically, he knows he was just in full crisis mode, but he could've saved someone a little pain, a little longer. ]
As far as I know, they are only one time use - mine was. But it is far better than the alternative.
[ of not having any at all, at least.
but, ah. it makes him smile when laurence gets a little embarrassed - there's a brief warm feeling of fond. ]
Oh? I suppose not... but yet, they did, and - I am not sure if you have looked at Jiaoqiu and I, but neither of us are what you would call quick on our feet. [ this is said teasingly, poking fun at his own. twinkness. it's fine. ] And in that moment, you were right where you needed to be, and did something that neither of us could have possibly done. Is that not worth something?

[ the only reason he could help with anders is that he saw someone running and bolted after them on instinct ]
Figures they'd only be a one-time use. [ all the most helpful items are. ] But at least we have something like it.
I thought you said you were good at running. [ teasing right back. ] ...I guess. As long as it helped, that's all that matters.
