[She looks at him curiously. There is also a distinct lack of kicking him out.] You can smell that?

[pneumo]

[ That's the part he notices most--but he still nods, nostrils flaring a little as he takes another whiff. ]

And like the alcohol they use for cuts and stuff.

[passingthrough]

[Oh, Sascha... What is the timing of this even?] I had a minor injury.

[pneumo]

Are you okay? [ I mean, she looks okay but knowing that she's been hurt as him resting on his knees. Because he's going to push himself up for a better look at her behind his shades. ]

[passingthrough]

Yeah, sweetie, I'm fine. [Sweetie? She reaches out to gently brush his hair.] I just have to rest for a few days.

[pneumo]

[ Kitty must be injured. He's never been called that by her before. ]

What happened...?

[passingthrough]

[Simon didn't warn her that giving pet names was part of having a concussion!]

I was in a fight with someone under the Atroma's control. I took a hit to the head.

[pneumo]

--You mean you aren't on your period????

[ i am

so sorry ]

[passingthrough]

...

...

...

...[Could someone please just hit her in the head again?]

You can tell when...? No, never mind. We don't speak of it again. [She's never going to forget though is she? Seriously, just one good knock to the head.]

I have a slight concussion.

[pneumo]

[ That's right Kitty: he can tell when you, or anyone else on the Fleet is having their period.

You're welcome. ]

--Don't sleep!

[passingthrough]

[She puts a hand on his shoulder and gives it a squeeze.] That's a myth. Besides, it was a couple of days ago. I would definitely need to be able to sleep by now.

[pneumo]

But...I can still smell blood. [ Isn't that a bad thing?? ]

[passingthrough]

[She dips her head down, parting her hair.] It's tiny. [She's not downplaying this one too much. The wound didn't even need stitches. It bled a lot, but head wounds are like that.]

[pneumo]

[ They're terrifying to witness though, and although it's small Sascha's brow still does furrow, fingers itching to reach out to touch it. ]

Does it hurt...?

[passingthrough]

No. [Which is true, but it might if you touch it!] I'm just more tired than usual.

[pneumo]

[ He'll behave!! ]

That's all? [ ;; promise? ]

[passingthrough]

Yeah, I just have to take it easy while I heal and so Winn won't worry so much. [And probably you too now.]

[pneumo]

[ Yup. He will come visit her as soon as he wakes up now ]

Whew.....

[passingthrough]

[Will he bring muffins at least?]

You okay?

[pneumo]

[ He would bring her anything if she asked ]

Y-yeah... Man, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

[passingthrough]

[She reaches over to pull him into a hug.] I'm going to be fine. Really.

[pneumo]

[ Gasp. The oh-so-coveted hug.... Sascha jolts a little, but his arms come up automatically after a moment's pause to hold her back.

And when his shock subsides he hugs close, heart thumping in his chest. ]

....Okay.

[passingthrough]

Feels like it's still trying to jump out. [She rubs his back.]

[pneumo]

I can't help it..... 'm really happy.

[ Unexpected hugs like this from Kitty are what drive home how much he likes her, how important she is to him, and that maybe--just maybe--he isn't as bad as he's come to believe. If someone as amazing as her would want to embrace him, is he so bad? ]

[passingthrough]

[She leans her head on his shoulder because her head feels awfully heavy. Her whole body does as it wants even more sleep.] Happy is good.
