Glitch
Who: Randolph Lyall and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the SS Blameless and the Iskaulit
When: Sometimes after the crew of the Blameless got curious and opened the first cargo they were entrusted with.
CONTENT WARNING: All prompts will contain mentions of physical and potentially sexual abuse. I will put everything under cuts so it is easy to avoid, but please consider the whole post and comment threads as potentially containing this content.
[Broadcast/Action for people on the Blameless]
[Lyall isn't sure what has woken him up. It's still early and anyone who is not on duty is probably still asleep. All that he knows is that it hurts everywhere right now. It even hurts to breathe, his ribs tender and some of them probably broken.
He drags himself out of the bed so he can get to the bathroom and get some water to drink. Even in the low lighting of the bedroom, it is relatively easy to see that he's covered in bruises. He's walking with an obvious limp and there are marks on his back that look suspiciously like some sort of beast used him as a scratch post.
He manages, with some effort, to get to the sink and to gulp down a bit of water, but even that simple effort seems to have robbed him of what little strength he had and he sinks to the floor with a small whimper of pain.
If only he could be unconscious again.]
[Action] SS Blameless / Iskaulit
[If you have met Lyall before, it will be very, very obvious that something is wrong with him.
He is dressed to the nines as he always is, and with his customary suit, very little of the bruises actually show. But the ordinarily discreet werewolf seems to try and be even more inconspicuous than he normally does. He is making himself as small and unobtrusive as possible when out and about. The limp is still there, even if he tries to hide it, and his face doesn't let anything show even though he is pretty much in constant pain.
He is also very, very skittish right now. He is avoiding crowds, and any loud noise is likely to make him jump quite badly.
Aboard the SS Blameless, he will attend to his duties as usual (or attempt to at least, if no one tries to stop him). Otherwise, he will pretty much navigate between the kitchen and Biffy's room, because he still needs his tea.
Aboard the Iskaulit, he will be doing his usually rounds to sniff out new people, although much more slowly. He probably will end up at one of the places that sell alcohol at some point, although since he can't get drunk, any attempt to drown out the hurt will unfortunately be a failure.]

[He will apply that one to the side of his ribcage, where the worst of the bruising is.]
And tea would be lovely.
[He hasn't managed to eat much, although he tries but tea is good.]
no subject
[Leaning over, he gently kisses his hair.]
Just rest. I won't be long.
no subject
[As if he'd go traipsing around in his state. He'll just curl up on the bed, head on a pillow and try to find a position that hurts a little less.]
no subject
Tail lazily moving behind him, he sets the tray down on the nightstand that he's gotten for their room.]
Would you like help to sit up?
no subject
[It still hurts when Biffy helps, but at least it helps him feel less... abandoned and lonely than he was back then. Just having a gentle touch when four years he had nothing to power him through this except rage and hatred.]
no subject
Here you go. Fixed just how you like it.
no subject
Thank you.
no subject
[He gently fixes a strand of Lyall's hair again just to make sure it sits just right before getting his own cup of tea and coming to sit with him. Having a small sip, he sighs. He's still not sure what flavor this is exactly since he got it from an alien planet but he is quite fond of it all the same.]

Lyall takes his time sipping the tea, letting it warm him up from the inside. it does help. he is British, after all, so there is nothing a good cup of tea can't fix, however temporarily.
Once he is finished, he wordlessly hands the cup back to Biffy. H'es not used to being take care of to such an extent. Spoiled, yes, because Biffy insists on it even if it makes him embarrassed, but this is so much more. he has to have Biffy do things for him because he literally can't do them, and somehow that makes him feel way worse than the spoiling ever does.]
no subject
Better?
no subject
... Not really. But I will be.
no subject
no subject
... and now I know it will be better.
no subject
I'm glad that I can give you that kind of comfort.

So, he settles for what he can give. Love, warmth, comfort. All those years ago Lyall was his solid ground when he had nothing to walk on and now it's his turn to return the favor.
And he's grateful for it as he lets his fingers slowly play through pale hair.]
