Leto! [She shifts in closer, touching his face gently and looking concerned.]

What happened? Should we get you to a doctor?

[precedented]

[ He's surprised by her reaction and her touch stills him. He's gotten better, but he's still not used to people wanting to touch him so casually. He blinks some more blood out of his eyes, feeling it stop. ]

A doctor? [ He takes a moment to parse that, his tone fairly incredulous. What kind of doctor would treat him? ]

No. I'm fine. Something powerful blocked my vision.

[passingthrough]

[It's not a casual touch when people spew blood out of their eyes! It's an emergency touch! Not that it's doing anything therapeutic with it. She is just at a loss and worried. She relaxes a little though because obviously he's not concerned and he knows the cause. She slowly withdraws the hand, but stays close.]

Let's get you cleaned up at least. [She stands and offers him a hand.] I didn't know something like that could happen.

[precedented]

It normally doesn't.

[ He doesn't seem too bothered. In fact, he still sounds really surprised that he could bleed. ]

[passingthrough]

What kind of thing could block you? Someone with a similar power? ...But in [Pause] Hank's world? [Trying here. Maybe she can call him Hank instead of McCoy at least.]

[precedented]

I couldn't say. Someone with a similar power could hide things from me.

[ Albeit not that well, but it was possible. ]

But retaliation is . . . different. New.

[passingthrough]

You said it was something large and powerful? Actual thing or person? [Not that she wants him looking again. Not with the eye bleeding thing.]

[precedented]

[ He considers this. Prescience comes from people, not objects. But that could easily change. ]

I would say person. . . but I couldn't answer in an affirmative.

[passingthrough]

Do you remember anything else?

[precedented]

No. I can say this. I doubt it was something McCoy did to cause it.

[ He can't pinpoint it though. And that needles him a little. ]

[passingthrough]

[She nods, believing him and maybe finally giving herself some permission to relax around Hank who really does seem perfectly sweet. Though it remains to be seen how it really goes from here. But there is something that seems more pressing now.]

Do you think they're in danger?

[precedented]

[ He considers this. Obviously the presence there is dangerous, though Leto's concept of danger differs from everyone else. Also, they are mutants. Isn't danger a part of their lives? ]

Yes. But I do not think that danger spells inevitable doom.

[passingthrough]

[Cross Dr. Doom off your bad guy BINGO cards. That's not even how BINGO works! Danger is their gift.]

That's something at least.

Now you... You scoffed at a doctor, but is there anything you do need?

[precedented]

I'm fine.

[ The blood has already started drying. ] Honestly, I'm more surprised I could bleed to begin with.

[passingthrough]

Because you didn't expect something to visionblock you that hard or because you thought you were fresh out of blood?

[precedented]

The former. It would take a lot to wound me.

[passingthrough]

So, sticks and stones and words? [She feels like she should be warning Erik, but of what exactly? The big, powerful thing? Yeah, watch out for those.]

[precedented]

Something of that sort.

[ He can't confesses his weaknesses now. ] I think your friends will be fine.

[passingthrough]

I hope so. Not that they're even there I guess. [But she wouldn't be surprised if people sometimes get...refreshed...with new memories of home like they did in the prison.]

Thank you for looking even though. [Gesturing to the eyes. She definitely feels like she owes him something. So probably not a good time to ask about Logan.]

[precedented]

You're welcome.

[ He dabs at his eyes, rubbing off flecks of dried blood. ]

[passingthrough]

I need to get back to looking for Logan. Are you sure you don't need anything? [Hard to hurt or not, he's her friend, right? So, she's protective.]

[precedented]

I'll be fine. Good luck on finding him.

[ It's not a big ship, but who knows where he might be. ]

[passingthrough]

[Not on this ship! She gets up to find out for sure though.]
