[...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.]
[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.
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.
[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.]
[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!
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.]
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.
[...He's trying to figure out how to do this without inundating Jaeger with a bunch of terms that he won't get, hang on.]
My immune system is doing something that it shouldn't be. Nothing explicitly worrying yet, mind, but it's producing antibodies in ways that I've never seen before.
It's something that I'm going to look into, but it's...strange, to put it lightly.
They might be, though I'm not certain if I should hope that they are or not.
[It's going to bother him either way; if it's natural, that begs the question of why it's happening at all, but if it's not and it's Retrospec's doing...
...
There's a difference between receiving memories from someone else and physically turning into that person, and he's not altogether certain he likes considering the possibility.]
You don't have to worry about it, at least for the time being.
[He sounds certain of that much, actually, and not like he's telling you not to worry because he doesn't want you to - more like in his professional goddamn opinion, there's nothing to worry about just yet.]
If it were truly a concern, I would have more complications than this - they would be highly visible and difficult to ignore. I feel fine, and nothing seems off with regards to my body's reaction to things, and other tests I've run have come back negative.
If that changes, I'll tell you. But for now everything seems all right, just unusual.
[That everything seems normal, at least. It's good to hear that Wesker's been doing tests on this too. He'll obviously be keeping an eye on it for any changes.]
I really hope it doesn't end up becoming a problem. Please keep me updated on it! Hopefully it won't give you any cause for concern!

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

[You know, the injury. And the disinfectant. And his shit bedside manner, probably.]
no subject
You don't need to apologize. It's not that bad.
[It hurts like a bitch, but that'll hopefully fade eventually.]
no subject
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 relaxes a bit eventually, though his hand still hurts and he feels sort of embarrassed about getting injured in the first place.]
no subject
[...Also a mildly crazy skill to have, but here we are.]
no subject
...But how many people would actually be capable of that? I doubt very many could manage it.
no subject
[He says, like it ain't even a thing.]
no subject
[I mean he's a little surprised. But honestly if anyone can do it, it'd be Wesker.]
no subject

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.]
no subject
...I see. I'm sorry you had to do that. You're alright, though?

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

...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.
no subject
[Just don't accidentally hurt yourself, alright?]
no subject
So it's a fair tradeoff, realy.
[He shrugs a little; it's no big deal, really, as far as he's concerned.]

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

[He'll sit still while Wesker works on the bandages; the worst part's over now and while it still hurts, at least Wesker knows what he's doing.]

[Thanks for dumbing it down for him. He appreciates it.]
If it's something recent do you think Retrospec's involved?

[Or at least as natural as it can be. Jaeger shakes his head a bit as if to clear it.]
I hope you figure out what's going on with your blood soon, though.
