[manufactured]

[That's... Well, that certainly is, all right, though it takes him a moment to register what happened; he's quick to lower and sheathe the blade, at least, the knife disappearing quickly back under his coat where he tends to keep it, and when he approaches his movements are quick, professional.]

Let me see it.

[There's a weird blankness to his tone when he says it, but at least he's asking in the first place.]

[scythegun]

[He winces a bit as he holds out his hand to let Wesker take a look at the cut. It's not deep enough to cause any permanent damage, but it's definitely not a light scratch either. It's going to take some time to heal and right now it's looking pretty ugly.]

Ah, here, let me try to get my glove off...

[Or what's left of it, anyway. Give him a moment to get that off, wincing as he carefully gets the glove off over the injury.]

[manufactured]

[...All right. You're probably not going to like doing this, but - ]

...Given that the glove is already damaged, take it and use it to stem the bleeding a bit.

[And he'll just...move to leave the room, calling back a request as he does so.]

Come upstairs with me. I should be able to take care of it well enough here.

[scythegun]

Ja, ja.

[He'll hold the ruined glove to the injury to help with the bleeding. He'll follow Wesker once he's done with that.]

Thank you. I should've been more careful.

[manufactured]

Honestly, I don't know what we expected.

[Other than not this, apparently, for some reason?]

Wait in my room. Wash your hand out as best you can, and then just sit on the bed and try not to bleed on it.

[Master bedroom, attached bathroom, all that fun shit. Knock yourself out while he obtains things.]

[scythegun]

We should have expected this, honestly...

[He sighs but he nods at Wesker's other statements, heading toward the master bedroom to take care of his hand as best he can. The water stings a bit but he does a good job washing the blood off before returning to Wesker's room to wait on the bed. He's careful to make sure he doesn't bleed on the bed too while he waits, alright.]

[manufactured]

[Thank you for not bleeding all over his bed. That would be awkward.

Wesker does, however, return quickly enough, bringing what looks like an entire damn medkit with him.]

I imagine you don't want me to try stitches, but I have a few other things that should work well enough.

[...Give him your hand, all right, let him work on it.]

[scythegun]

Here, do your worst.

[He holds out his hand for Wesker to take.]

[manufactured]

[...Well, the disinfectant he's going to need to put on this (once he's laid down like eighty towels to make sure this won't get on his fucking bed) is likely going to sting like a bitch and he's sure as shit not going to warn you, for starters.]

...You have my apologies, by the way. For this.

[You know, the injury. And the disinfectant. And his shit bedside manner, probably.]

[scythegun]

[Oww, oww, oww that stings. Jaeger mumbles something in German and nearly jerks his hand back after the disinfectant, but he manages to avoid that.]

You don't need to apologize. It's not that bad.

[It hurts like a bitch, but that'll hopefully fade eventually.]

[manufactured]

[He just tightens his grip a bit when he feels Jaeger tensing up like he wants to pull away; you're not going anywhere until he's finished, all right.]

It isn't, which is why I imagine we can get away with not requiring stitches. Just the same, you're not going to want to move it very much.

[He'll finish with the disinfectant easily enough, however; it's ointment rather than liquid, at least.]

Leave it for a little while and then I can finish dealing with it.

[scythegun]

Okay. Thank you for helping me with this, I doubt I'd be able to do anything on my own.

[He relaxes a bit eventually, though his hand still hurts and he feels sort of embarrassed about getting injured in the first place.]

[manufactured]

It's entirely possible to suture your own injuries if you're determined enough, you know. It's a fairly useful skill to have.

[...Also a mildly crazy skill to have, but here we are.]

[scythegun]

[Why are you like this.]

...But how many people would actually be capable of that? I doubt very many could manage it.

[manufactured]

I've done it before.

[He says, like it ain't even a thing.]

[scythegun]

You... You know, I'm not even that surprised, but how did this end up happening?

[I mean he's a little surprised. But honestly if anyone can do it, it'd be Wesker.]

[manufactured]

It was something I was interested in learning, and so my father taught me at one point. It's been useful enough since.

[...Just...let him check that injury over while we talk, all right, and once that's done he'll get out the medical glue - it'll work about as well as the stitches would, anyway.]

I had to do it fairly recently, during the entire incident with the monsters. Before I met up with you.

[Now hold still, all right.]

[scythegun]

[He'll hold still, don't worry. He doesn't respond for a moment, just watching what Wesker's doing before responding.]

...I see. I'm sorry you had to do that. You're alright, though?

[manufactured]

Of course I am.

[It's said easily enough; you'd know if he wasn't.]

It wasn't terribly bad, but it was a long cut, the sort of thing best kept closed somehow.

[That said, this is...not going to hurt at all, actually, it's likely just going to feel weird. The whole point is to keep the skin together and make sure he gets a decent seal over it, which is something that he can do easily enough.]

I'll bandage it in a moment. Let it set.

[scythegun]

Of course.

[He's settled a bit now that Wesker's confirmed that he's fine, even if there wasn't any reason to be all that worried about it in the first place. If Wesker hadn't been fine surely he would have mentioned it.]

Well, I'm glad you were able to take care of it, even if that's not something I could imagine myself doing under any circumstances. I think I'm a bit too squeamish for that!

[manufactured]

[That just gets a noncommittal noise out of him; you're probably entirely too squeamish, yeah.]

...I do a fair amount of procedures on myself, depending on what I'm trying to do. It's usually just testing of some sort or another.

[scythegun]

I certainly couldn't do that either... But I trust you know what you're doing.

[Just don't accidentally hurt yourself, alright?]

[manufactured]

I know better than to try anything too dangerous myself. But at the same time, I've made progress that way that I likely couldn't have gotten away with using strictly the protocols at work.

So it's a fair tradeoff, realy.

[He shrugs a little; it's no big deal, really, as far as he's concerned.]

[scythegun]

As long as you're careful!

[Wesker wouldn't do anything that'd seriously put him at risk riiiiight...]

[manufactured]

[...Hopefully not?? Hopefully not-

That said, he goes quiet for a moment at that, taking Jaeger's hand again for the sake of bandaging it.]

I won't be able to do anything like that for a while, I think - I found something odd when I was taking blood samples last time. It's something to keep an eye on, at any rate.
