It's a Long Story |Claire/Lovino/Open|

Lovino had just made it to the waiting room before Claire asked him to get a room ready. For a second he stared at Alice- he'd recognized her, what had happened? But then he shook his head and whipped around throwing a frustrated, "I know, I know!" over his shoulder.

Only two rooms were being taken up at the moment, one by that winged guy- Damian - and the other by his brother. He'd come in once in a while and check to make sure everything was okay, check the machines, heart-rate, sometimes have a small chat, then went back to the waiting room, but this time he'd been about to check again, which is why he'd been late.

Muttering to himself, though nonetheless working quickly, the human popped into one of the rooms (he had helped organize all of them to be ready for usage in his spare time, he liked cleaning) flicked on the lights, then grabbed a stretcher, which might be overkill, though he'd seen Alice's foot bleeding. He didn't run, though definitely did not lag behind as he sped towards the two girls in the waiting room.

"Another attack?"

    A quick nod from Claire, and she offered a hand, jerking her head for Lovino to come and help. "One.. Two.. Three." With all the strength she could muster, Claire lifted Alice up, careful of her foot, then tried to shove a pillow under Alice's heal so it would be elevated to stop the blood from rushing to the injury and gushing everywhere.

    "Yes, with a sterile and antiseptic-damped cloth," Claire instructed, ducking into the room a moment before the stretcher rolled in to wash her hands and throw on a pair of plastic gloves. As Lovino did whatever he was doing, Claire began work on preparing the X-ray machine - They'd need it to check if Alice's feet had any breaks.

    Claire was quick to respond. "You'll only need it if you broke a bone as well. Otherwise it's just deep stitches and tendon-tying. The medication I gave you should dull the pain, but if it's too much then I can give you anesthesia," She responded, setting the moving X-Ray machine over and carefully sliding away the pillow and replacing it with a metal board. After setting the timer for thirty seconds, she jerked her head for Lovino and herself to get out for the X-rays, handing Alice a pair of X-ray glasses.

"Oh, okay." said Alice as she got her answer. "This is probably going to sting," She nodded, and let the procedure go on. "N-nn..." muttered Alice under her breath. The antispetic did sting, but Alice knew ettiquete: Do not scream in pain in a hospital, unless it really hurts that much.

Alice put on the x-ray glasses Claire gave her, and waited to hear the results of the x-ray.'

(lol dunno what else to do)

Good. It wasn't like Lovino cared or anything, he just wanted to make sure that nothing was permanent or too dangerous. Yeah. That's all. He followed Claire back into the room, nodding in agreement though she couldn't see, then pulled out the proper supplies and prepared to work.

Weirdly enough, he was still relying on his cooking experience and that's why he had learned so quickly. He memorized what operations he could in the small time he had by treating them like...new recipes. What you needed to use, what went where and when, it all fell into that kind of cycle. Now it was a matter of not messing it up.

While Claire sat down, Lovino needed to look down over Alice's shoulder to see what he was doing, so he ended up sort of leaning over her. He tried to ignore the fact that their faces were only about a foot away from each other, a focused frown on his own as he went through what he needed to do in his head and set to work.

"No moving or doing anything else that distracts me unless something starts really hurting, got it?" he half snapped, half ordered, that much more bad tempered simply because of stress.

[[ Sorry, I'm on mobile so I'll respond to everything else in a little while! ]]

    Claire glanced up, almost jealous of what Lovino and Alice seemed to have. She hadn't even seen Shawn in weeks, not since some time before the Shadow issue started up. The girl was sure she could feel her heart droop with the prospect of it. Blinking away the thoughts that seemed so selfish, she returned the work, dabbed away a bit of blood, and started tying veins off. She's going to have some nerve damage among other things, Claire thought to get her mind off Shawn. And who did this to Alice. And all the other injuries and mental and physical scars they would all have to carry.
    A tear of pain and rage slid down Claire's cheek, and she narrowed her eyes to resist a torrent of sobs and screams of anger.

( do you want me to make another thread with shawn and claire?)

Alice knew she was going to be bored for the next 1-2 hours. She could try to look down on the operation on her foot. But...the gore and blood was starting to make Alice feel sick, and it would probably distract Lovino. Well, there was probably only one thing that wouldn't distract Lovi or Claire: Daydream. 

Alice wasn't much of a daydreamer. What she mostly did was revisit unpleasant memories. Maybe it was because most of the things she loved, made her nostalgic for those things. 

I guess I should start now...

The small half-blood decided to daydream that there were never any assassins at the academy. Or maybe a lucky half-blood found out their weakness, and used it against them. What is their weakness?
