Current mood:

okay

Who: Honey and Scully
What: Patching the poor kid up after her bout with batshit!Mulder
When: Riiight after Honey's post about that.
Where: Honey's room.
Warnings: Draw your own conclusions to that. 8) aka, LOL NO. Probably not.

To say that Scully was worried would be an understatement. Knowing that Honey had gone up against Mulder of all people was really very worrisome. Judging by Honey's post on the network, it had gone... well, it went all right but not without some consequences, it seemed. Worried that the boy-that-was-now-a-girl was hurt more than was let on, Scully grabbed her things in a hurry, before leaving her room to go to Honey's room. Once there, she looked down to see Queequeg sitting at the door as well, looking intently at the door. "What, you worried too?" The dog spared her a glance, but it was back at looking at the door that lead to Honey.

So, with a bit of a smile, Scully knocked on the door. "Honey? It's me, it's Scully." ...well, and Queequeg as well. Queequeg was worried too for her, and it seemed as if he wouldn't be satisfied that Honey was all right until he saw it for himself.

And so, for the moment, all was left was to wait to be let in. Queequeg was especially anxious, since his gaze didn't falter from the door for the duration they were outside of the room.

The door eased open with a click, Honey standing on the other side of it. Dressed in a simple white undershirt and bloomers, her hair was dishevled, the curls loose and more like ringlettes. Wincing in pain and quickly shifting her weight, Honey looked to Queequeg and then Scully.

"Please, come in. I would bow, but.." Moving away from the door and collapsing backwards to land roughly on the ground, the wind was temporarily knocked from her. Obviously, her ankle was getting tired of being used. Catching her breath after a minute, Honey sighed. "My apologies," she said quietly.

She was still trying to process everything, so her manners weren't entirely up to par, but given the weirdness of the situation, who could really blame her for faltering a little?

The minute the door opened, Queequeg stood at attention. He didn't go over to the girl just yet, but he watched instead, knowing something wasn't right. When she fell, the dog barked and went over to her side, sniffing at her to make sure she was all right, and giving her cheek a few hesitant licks to reassure her, in his way.

Scully was about to say "No, don't worry about it" when Honey fell back. It didn't take her long to get down next to her, gently nudging Queequeg aside after he was done checking Honey over for himself. "You don't have anything to be sorry for, don't worry about that, all right? Here, grab on to me, all right? I'll get you on to your bed so you don't have to try and walk to it."

Once that was done, Scully lifted her up, and brought her to where she could sit on her bed. "Your ankle, then. I'll start there and make sure it isn't broken or fractured." Careful not to hurt her further while checking and feeling around for any sign of something not right, Scully's hands moved to check things over.

"Sto-" As Queequeg licked her cheek, Honey laughed in spite of herself, and then looked up as she was helped to her bed. Taking a seat and nodding in agreement, Honey watched as Scully worked. Blinking at how easily Scully had picked her up, Honey spoke after a second.

"I'll try not to. You're quite strong, Miss Scully!" Granted, the distance between the door and the bed was minimal, but Honey was still impressed. Looking towards her injured ankle, Honey sighed.

The cut, while not opened any further, had a fair amount of crusted and dried blood around it, and throbbed with a dull pain.

Queequeg watched as Scully picked up Honey, and was doing his duty by making sure his smaller human was placed on the bed carefully. Once Honey was there, Queequeg jumped up on to the bed and sniffed at the maid once more to make sure nothing else had changed about her, before turning in his three circles and laying himself down next to Honey.

Scully, on the other hand, smiled some. "Well, thanks. Comes with the job, I guess. But thank you, Honey." Just as adorable as always. Of course, she had carried Honey before- back when he was kidnapped by Krycek. Then again, she also had a grenade launcher and wasn't too happy. As far as Scully remembered, she had carried Honey back pretty much the entire way.

But, as she checked Honey over for anything that could seem off, nothing did at the moment. Opening her kit and grabbing a few things, she looked up to the girl. "This might hurt a little. I have to clean it out and disinfect the wound before I bandage it up. Tell me if it starts hurting a lot, all right?" Disinfecting a wound was never pleasant, and Scully knew that. She just didn't want Honey to be in more pain than needed.

"I will." Honey paused momentarily, and then added. "If it's going to be bandaged, then I'll need to keep it out of the water. That shouldn't be very hard, though. The bathtub's actually a standard size, which is surprising." Talking more to herself than to Scully, Honey remembered where she was and gave a sheepish smile. "S- Sorry, I'm just rambling to myself."

Looking at Queequeg as the dog laid next to her, she hesitated and then reached over, giving the dog a few pats on the head. "You're welcome." she replied, before adressing the dog. "I don't really want any more kisses right now, okay?" Not that Honey expected the dog to understand, as it was just a dog, but it couldn't hurt. Looking back to Scully as she produced a few items, Honey watied for her to start her work.

"You should be all right with the bathtub and keeping it out of water. If anything, you can probably put a plastic bag over it? That's what's recommended for those who break things, at least." Scully paused in her work to look up at Honey, and smirked a little. "No, it's all right. If rambling gets out anything negative that you're feeling about what happened, it's quite all right. I don't have anything against it." Really, talking like that probably made Honey feel better, so why stop her? It was better than the alternative, that was for sure.

Queequeg, when Honey started talking to him, looked up at her... before flopping over on to her legs. Scully glanced up to the dog, and mumbled to him. "Queequeg, be good. Don't bother Honey if she doesn't want to be bothered, all right? I know you want to make sure she's ok. But behave, please?" The dog gave out a bit of a whimper, before going back to just laying next to the maid instead.

"Perhaps.." Honey said, looking around the room. Not seeing any plastic bags, her cheeks colored a little. Queequeg's landing onto her legs nearly caused her to jump, but Honey worked on adjusting to it; even though it was obviously temporary.

Resting one of her hands onto the dog, Honey smiled. Her expression quickly changed to a pained grimace once the wound on her ankle had started to be disinfected. Inhaling, she closed her eyes momentarily and managed a, "My apologies, but it- that hurts!" before falling silent. Honey tried to focus on anything aside from the sudden flare of additional pain around her ankle, and bit her lower lip in frustration at not being able to do just that.

Scully paused in her work to let the pain subside a little, working slower to clean the blood off of Honey's ankle. "No, don't apologize. I'll slow down a little, all right? That way it won't hurt as much, and you can have a little breather in between." So, work slower she did, hoping to not hurt Honey with the disinfectant as she cleaned out her wound. After a little work, the wound was cleaned and the blood that had dried had been cleared away. "There. Now, I can see everything clearly and get things properly bandaged. You doing all right, Honey?"

When Honey's manner about Scully cleaning out the gash on her ankle, Queequeg looked at the girl attentively. When she voiced her discomfort, the dog made a quiet sort of bark, before nuzzling Honey's arm in a way to try to comfort her and make the pain go away. ...not that it would probably work, but the dog didn't know that! Still, he wanted to try to do something for his smaller human, despite Honey looking much different than normal.

"I'm doing better, thank you." Reaching up to brush a few errant ringlets away from her face, Honey looked at Queequeg as the dog barked and nuzzled her arm. "Ah.. I'm fine." Honey said after a moment, realizing what the dog was trying to do. Smiling, she gave the dog a thankful pat on the head. "Miss Scully is being really gentle."

Connotations aside, whatever they may be although Honey refused to entertain them, she watched as Scully worked."I should be able to sit in the bathtub and prop my leg up, or at least keep my foot elevated. That way the bandages won't get wet. I'd hate for you to have to do this again so quickly." she remarked, after thinking things over for a minute.

"Good, I'm glad. Once I can see how things look, everything will be fine. And since we're in the same living space, I can check up on it and change the bandages regularly." After all, Scully didn't know how long this Honey would be here, she could at least do that for her, especially if it was Mulder that had hurt her. Queequeg whimpered some at Honey, but accepted that she was doing better than before. He made some contented noises and stuck his tongue out, almost as if he were smiling before sitting himself back down, still 'smiling' as it were.

Scully shook her head some at the fact that she'd have to do this again. "Don't worry about it, Honey. It'll be fine if I do. Besides, soap and water, while it might hurt, will keep it clean enough. Nothing wrong with that, but keeping it dry would be the better idea." It didn't take her long to get it bandaged up after that, and once she was done she smiled up to Honey. "There. All bandaged. Hopefully that'll keep the wound safe, but I would stay off of your ankle as much as you can, all right?"

"Mh-hm." Nodding at Scully's instructions, Honey looked to Queequeg and laughed at the dog's expression. "You're funny!" she got out around her sudden bout of laughter.

Glancing to the door that lead into her bathroom, Honey looked to her freshly bandaged ankle, nodded; and moved to stand up. Quickly shifting her weight almost immediately, and grabbing onto the bed as she moved; Honey mentally gave herself a kick.

"My doing this probably isn't helping me follow your instructions, but I can't move how I normally would.." A few more wobbly steps, and Honey comically flailed her arms as she tried to grab air, failed and rediscovered her center of balance before she could fall back down.

"Would you mind helping me prepare for my bath, Miss Scully?" Her cheeks went a faint crimson at that. "N- Not that I mean to imply anything indecent, it's just that I would need help entering and exiting the bathtub, since I don't remember it coming with safety bars." she quickly added.
