When I am a little less light headed from blood loss, I would be very interested in the explanation.

_{[ He smiled, reaching up to touch Kaidan's hand briefly before letting it drop and letting Kaidan continue with his efforts. ]}

I'm going to need a new shirt, aren't I? Black's good at hiding the spots, but not quite this much. And a shower. I can feel it sticking already.

_{[ He wrinkled his nose. ]}

[bi_otic]

[Kaidan's ghost of a smile made a reappearance as he finally pulled back a little, dabbing at the blood on Kirk's brow. Questions about his biotics always made him a little uneasy, but the captain's questions lacked the barbs that sort of thing often came with, from the uneducated. He didn't entirely enjoy feeling like a scientific curiosity, but he could not get away from the fact that he was one.]

Well, it's complicated. [He chuckled softly] And I don't mean that as an evasion. It just is, and I'm probably not the best at explaining it but...I will.

[He plucks at the stained t-shirt with a delicate hand] After we get you cleaned up, maybe? Or find you a new shirt, if you'd rather finish out your shift.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He glanced at him, hearing the hesitation and he reached up to grasp Kaidan's wrist gently, thumb brushing the underside. ]}

You don't have to if you don't want to, Kaidan.

_{[ With that put out there he leaned into him a little, letting his head bump into the lower part of Kaidan's chest. He winced, because ouch his wound was right there, but even so. Kaidan's scent was calming and he could close his eyes for a minute. ]}

I think cleaned up. There's a hotel not to far from here. We can go there and have some clothes delivered.

[bi_otic]

I don't mind. Really. I'm just not sure head injuries and theories about mass effect fields go together very well.

[He let another huff that was half amusement and half...something else]

I think this planet is spoiling you a little. Sure you wouldn't rather take a shuttle up to your ship? I can drive. Promise.

[universal_charm]

Let's be honest, the shower is probably nicer at the hotel than it is on my ship.

_{[ Which was true, and private. Even as a captain he didn't warrant that, and okay, the ability to have a private shower here in the hotels was spoiling him a bit. ]}

[bi_otic]

Probably. More hot water at least.

[Kaidan moved away at last, politely rinsing out the bloody cloth in the sink before tossing it away with the rest of the used rags.]

You should be fine to walk. Just take it easy. A dizzy spell is the last thing you need. But I don't think you'll need stitches. Left the band-aids in my other pants, though.

[He does have a tiny reserve of medi-gel in his omni-tool, but since there's not way to get more, he's saving it for an emergency]

[universal_charm]

And here I thought the Marines were always prepared.

_{[ He pushed himself up, moving slow so as not to lose his balance and moved to Kaidan, wrapping an arm around his and leaning some of his weight on the more firmly built space-man. ]}

Come on. We can order in what passes for Chinese food here. Watch a movie. Plot how we're getting our hazard pay out.

[bi_otic]

You got me there. Too much reliance on medi-gel, I guess.

[He stabilizes Kirk with hand on his side and they move back out the bar. He signals to the stand-in barkeep as they pass]

I'm taking him to get cleaned up. Can you hold the fort for a few hours? Thanks...

[Internally Kaidan half ignores the banter, dismissing it for exactly that. He really shouldn't leave the bar alone for that long but Kirk got hurt on his watch and needed to be sure that the man was fine before he did so. If this impulse had to do with more than duty, well...he didn't look that thought too closely in face.

Instead he focuses on getting them outside and down the street...a slow but steady procession from bar to room.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk focused on putting one foot in front of the other. He wasn't terribly hurt by any means, but he had lost a lot of blood rather quickly from his head, and that wasn't going to be replenished soon. Better to lean on Kaidan than stumble about like a drunk. Kaidan at least let him hide his momentary weakness from the surrounding crowds. ]}

Guess you're sticking around for the Chinese, huh?

_{[ Said as they opened the door to the hotel room Kirk had secured - not to shabby, but not overly decorated either. Comfortable for temporary city living by Kirk's standards anyways, and he aimed to shuffle himself and Kaidan towards the bed. ]}

[bi_otic]

Do head injuries always made you hungry?

[Kaidan smiled wryly as they traversed the last few steps and he turned on a heel, lowering Kirk slowly down to the bed so he wouldn't do anything stupid like lose his balance and fall on the floor]
