Assist me with telling me how you're holding up then.

And don't worry Anders came by and did a re-up on the bandages. I'm not about to put you to work today without good cause.

I'm going to become a hermit somewhere far away if people don't stop asking me how I am.

[ this is a joke even though it's hard to tell over text ]

I don't know why someone would hurt Adolphe. He was well liked.
I'm glad your bandages are in good shape. Tell me if you need a painkiller.

[gutterbound]

If I tell you to go fuck yourself will you move closer instead?

[it's fine he lives and deals in bullshit.]

Nor the Brimstone kid. He was tough personality but for god's sake, a child's a child, no matter how supernatural the origin. He was just working through stuff.

Maybe my painkiller's being a bother to people. Will you let me come get a dose in?

[ richie doesn't see it but jiaoqiu does laugh at that first bit ]

Violence is often the answer a traumatized and battered animal gives to kindness. It simply takes patience. Not euthanasia.

You're no bother. But let me come to you. You're missing a limb, for Lan's sake.

[he'd be so happy....]

I know. And I know he was glad for what you did for him, even if he had a hard time showing it.

[he remembers how keyed up the kid was last Sunday. He'd laid into JQ with fists the night before but then battered those same knuckles on the barrier in protest, hoping to change the scene.]

I'm also so bored of looking at the same four walls. But fine, I'll stay put. Bring me something chilly to drink if you see something on the way. I'll put on a record for you.

If I judge you capable of moving around, I will supervise you taking a stroll. You'll need the strength for tomorrow.

[ and - he'll make his way there! with an iced coffee, should that suffice, though he also brings like. a smoothie too, if richie hates coffee. when he arrives, he looks exhausted as usual, but his back is straight and he's even and put together as he can be. ]

Hello.

i thought i tagged this last night, shakes

[gutterbound]

Hello!

[Chipper, if only as a thin veneer for the dismal mood. Richie waves him in. He still looks like hell, but someone has taken the liberty to paint his nails a lovely olive green.]

What's that you got there? You drinking with me?

so much happened i don't blame you

[fried]

I figured you'd like one or the other.

[ so make your choice, richie boy. jiaoqiu does not notice the green but i think it's beautiful. ]

[gutterbound]

[omg...is he colourblind...]

Oh. That's awful considerate of you. [He will take the coffee one, thank you, even if he isn't on that gen z tip.] Thanks.

Have a seat. Kick it for a while.

[fried]

[ is he.......

he will come sit down, though! ]

How are you feeling? Painwise.

[gutterbound]

Like I backed into an immersion blender.

[It still sucks. Let us not mince words. Richie shrugs.]

But I can feel it stitching together. Slow work that it is. The sting isn't as hot as it was the day of, but I don't imagine I'll be free of it for a long while yet.

...And how are you feeling? Painwise.

[fried]

What a visual. [ nyeh. but he doesn't complain too much, because really, what else would you expect to hear from a man who got his arm ripped off.

a beat. ]

I'm alright. [ ... ] As always, I'm more tired than I am anything else.

[ looks at the date of this thread. this day also sucked. ]
