[Kobra's panting hard and wincing down at the little communicator.]

Can anyone who knows how to give stitches come to the church? I can't do it myself on account of it being my arm and also I don't have the supplies. I would kinda prefer one of the pretty doctors, if that's cool.

[He grins, but it's not totally there.]

Turns out I am not a dog person after all.

[porcelainpride]

...I've had stitches before.

[goodluckkobra]

Something tells me you are not up to sewing my arm. I appreciate the offer to help, though.

You're totally safe inside, though. I got hurt 'cause I was stupid.

[porcelainpride]

Maybe not, but I doubt that's the only injury you have, and I can help with everything else, so I'm coming over and that is that.

[goodluckkobra]

It's the only one that needs attention. I can clean scrapes and bruises myself. I've had a lot worse.

If you come out here for nothing and you get hurt, I'm gonna feel like shit.

[porcelainpride]

Then...pretend I'm not coming and I'll surprise you.

[goodluckkobra]

You'd better not!

[His face turns serious quickly. This might be that temper he'd told Daneel about.]

Kurt, Dan is going to help me clean it and you stay where you are.

[porcelainpride]

...tell me as soon as I can come visit. All right?

[goodluckkobra]

I will. Once we figure out the animals, we'll hang out and I'll help you make bread again. Or a cake or something.

[Also he'll give Kurt a hug, because the kid has a pout on him. Damn.]

[porcelainpride]

[The saddest of all faces. :(((]

...promise me something?

[goodluckkobra]

Only if I can deliver. I'm not a liar.

[That's a lie.]

[porcelainpride]

When you get better, will you teach me to defend myself? So I don't have to hide in the pantry whenever things get bad?

[goodluckkobra]

Yeah, I actually know a little Aikido. It's pretty useful for little guys like us, 'cause it uses the other person's strength and momentum against them. I'll teach you what I can.

[porcelainpride]

Thank you.

Feel better soon.

[goodluckkobra]

Thanks, man. I'll be fine. Just stay safe. I can't teach you if you get hurt or something.
