[ dankovsky will let him in, gesturing to the bed. ]
Sit. Let's see what this looks like. [ he'll pull off his gloves and set them down while sebastian sits. ] He threw something at you towards the end, right?
Yeah. I think it was, like, a piece of a broken dish or something? That he had in his shoe??
[ which is kind of gross!!
anyway, he sits down on the edge of the bed and peels off the bandages on his cheek and moves his hair out of the way. it's probably a pretty shallow cut since it's not like it was being forcefully jabbed into his face or anything, but he also still has a bandage on his neck on that same side from a week-old vampire bite that definitely does not still need to be covered, so he might have a tendency to overreact a little. ]
I-I already washed it with soap and everything.
[ and probably cried while doing so because it stung. he tried!! ]
[ the cut being shallow is good for healing at the very least he hums, just a bit worried about the sort of scar it might leave. ]
I could give you just a couple of stitches. Make sure it holds together properly while it heals. Less likely to end up with a bigger scar than need be.
[ he does glance down at the bandage on his neck and frowns. ]
Also might want to give that wound a bit of time to breathe, hm? [ you don't need that. ]
[ sweats... if he ever got stitches as a kid, he doesn't remember it, and it's always sounded kind of horrifying. ]
Is... does that hurt?
[ as the attention shifts to his neck, he self consciously raises his hand to cover it. ]
Oh. Um, well, it's just... I don't like looking at it......
[ and if he just buttoned up his uniform properly instead of trying to look cool, he wouldn't have to, but. his pops says he looks like a nerd when he does that, so he doesn't want to. ]
Why not find yourself a scarf then...? Better than the pressure of a bandage, keeps it out of sight, fashionable...
[ it's not like he wears one and loves them and is super biased or anything.
in any case, bedside manner has been something that has alluded dankovsky since his early days at school. still, the nearly two weeks prior to this have worn him down, and nine hours of this strange trial on top of it? well. his voice softens. ]
The suturing will pinch a bit, but should be quick. [ he offers him a very, very small twitch of the lips. almost a smile. ] It's the absolute best way to assure this heals properly. And I'm one of the best doctors the Capital has. It'd be done quickly.
Ah...! A scarf would look pretty cool, wouldn't it?
[ imagining it flying in the air behind him while riding a motorcycle...... yeah!!!
he still bites his lip thinking about the stitches, but— the absolute best treatment, as decided by the best doctor? he's pretty sure he can trust that! ]
...O-okay. If it's the best... then I guess that's fine.
[ cool? he pulls from context... it's fine. it must be a good thing.
that being said, i think he's the only doctor left, which does technically make him the best, so not wrong. he's just glad the phrasing worked, considering his... sardine incident. he'll move across the room to gather up some of the items he's collected from the market, mostly for things like this.
he'll also leave briefly to go wash his hands, returning with his sleeves rolled up and a small travel sewing kit in hand, setting it to the side. ]
It'll be quick, and if you'd like we can go looking for a scarf afterwards.
[ he had no plans of leaving the inn for the rest of the day by himself, especially after everyone revealed the special powers they had and confirmed that he's definitely the easiest target here... but if someone else goes with him, then that's... probably okay? a-anyway, maybe they've gotten rid of all the killers now!
he nods. ]
...Yeah. That sounds good. Thanks.
[ just looking at the sewing kit and knowing what it's going to be used for makes him feel a little queasy, so he shuts his eyes tight long before the needle is even picked up. ]
[ as he prepares a few things, a capful of alcohol, a bit of gauze and tape and gets to work, but while he does, he speaks. ]
This won't be bad at all, lucky he missed your eye. Now — [ he doesn't warn before he says "breathe" at the entry of the needle ] — you truly are a man of law back home? You don't act like one I've ever met.
[ "breathe", and he takes one deep breath in and then holds it forever, which was probably not the intention. he balls his hands into fists and presses them against his knees. ]
Mm.
[ a small affirmative noise, because this is just like when the dentist asks him a question... he's not sure if he's supposed to actually talk during this or if opening his mouth is going to pull at the wound and mess things up. ]
Breathe normally, just deeply, do you understand. In, two-three, out, two-three. Like that.
[ it's small instruction, crisp, like a teacher ought to be. he moves as quickly as he can with his eyes trained on the wound, making certain the edges meet even if it's not as large or deep. this will only really help and that's enough. it isn't long before he's through. ]
Very good... nearly through... annnnnd [ snip and tie. ] you're done. Just avoid any more projectile plates, hm?
[ he follows the timing as he's directed, though he's definitely not breathing as deeply as he should be because this anxious feeling is so tight around his chest. when it's finally over, he exhales in relief, and the little gold light specks floating around at the edges of his vision that show up whenever he might be getting close to fainting fade away. ]
Ah... [ there's a bit of an awkward little laugh at that last part. ] Y-yeah, I'll try to.
...That really wasn't as bad as I thought. Thanks.
