[HEY NICE FLOOR mind if Henry bleeds on it? No? Awesome. It's just a nosebleed and a split lip, which goes nicely with his black eye.]

Oh, hey, this... is not the bathroom. Uh. Anybody got tissues?

Comments

[ Here's a package of them, but-- ]

You look like you could do with something with a little more... cleaning power?

[likethedead]

[--ohshit it's like all over his shirt, this is never coming out. He accepts the tissues, though!]

Man, that sounds like an great idea, but I think it's too late.

[brattle]

Cold water and a little soap does wonders. [ For both wounds and clothing. Speaking from experience. ]

Come on, I'll find you a bathroom, if you'd like, and you can tell me what happened to you.

[likethedead]

I'm not, like, really sure how I got here or how to get back? Not that following strangers into bathrooms isn't a great idea normally, but, you know.

[brattle]

[ A laugh, and he holds his hands up, palms out. ] Promise I won't try anything. I know it probably doesn't hold much weight, but for what it's worth.

The trick with this place-- I think, haven't been here very long-- seems to be the doors. Look long enough, you'll find your way to something useful, and if you're lucky, home.

[He grabs it, and manages to upright himself with only a little bit of wobble]

Well, I'd hate to bi-bi-whatever that word is that has to do with honor, I swear I'm not drunk

[brattle]

[ It's progress. He starts leading Henry to the nearest door. ]

Besmirch? [ It's the only word he can think of that fits those requirements. ] My first guess wasn't going to be drunk, but thanks for the reassurance anyway.

[likethedead]

I knew it had something to do with smirking. This is why dad keeps yelling at me to go to college.

[brattle]

College isn't just for increasing vocabularies, and you're perfectly capable of learning new words without going to college.

[ He opens the door, checks, and closes it again. ] And that's not a bathroom. Next. Still holding up okay?

[likethedead]

Really, it's not as bad as it looks. I'd be a lot uglier if I couldn't take a punch. I've been told my face is very punchable.

[brattle]

All right, just checking. I've learned not to take chances with injured kids.

[likethedead]

[Ouch, his ego.]

Dude, I'm twenty-one!
