Who: Erik, Charles, Hank and Raven
Broadcast: nah
Action: the Blameless. warning for injury treatment, probably.
When: June 7th, shortly after this

[This is the second time in the span of seven days that Erik has had to pilot a shuttle while his vision isn't a hundred percent. It's almost a pattern, he thinks blearily to himself. Different causes, though. As the shuttle docks with the Blameless, he can't help but blow out a breath.

First step done. Now to get out.]

[ Carefully, unsure. ] Should I not have . . . ? I didn't mean to overstep or take it upon myself.

Charles. I -

[ She shakes her head, reaching to touch his hand, not pushing incase she knocks a bruise. ]

Ten years. It's been almost ten years since I was around anyone I care about. I'm used to being alone, so... I'm relearning things as well. You're fine.

[ He smiles faintly, rubbing her fingers lightly. ]

All right.

I'll tell you if you do something wrong. I already have, haven't I?

I'm counting on it.

And you can do the same for me.

[ Slowly, she tilts herself up, her eyes darting over Charles before she breathes out. ]

How're you feeling?

Sore, mostly. It's . . . difficult to breathe at times, but the painkillers have helped.

[ It's strange, having wounds that last. ]

Hank will brace you when he's done with Erik. Is there anything else I can do?

[ If she could lend her healing then she would, really. ]

[ He closes his eyes. The fatigue was slowly coming back. ]

Look after Erik and Hank for me. I think Hank is more . . . unsettled than he's letting on.

I know that. Don't worry - I've already told him it's part of the girlfriend agreement that I can make him rest.

[ She does lean close, though, so her voice can be soften. ]

I'll take care of him, Charles. Erik too.
