With These Hands
Who: Edward and Kim! And open to Kaylee later, if she wants to repair his leg for him? ^^
When: 1:00 AM, Day 11
Where: The Gym while Edward waits patiently for his leg to get reattached.
What: Reunion!
Rating: PG for now
Status: Active

Edward was a sweet, patient thing. He lay quietly, as Gambit had instructed him, with his detached leg tucked safely under his cot, for someone to come and reattach his leg, but he was well aware that it might be a while. Since he had seen what kind of shape others were in, like Watanuki (who had had a balcony come down on him), and a man with two broken arms, and another who was deliriously talking about non-parasitic Platyhelminthes due to the generous amounts of morphine distracting him from a shovel in his side. He listened to that man's soft mumbling for awhile, wondering why the inventor had never told him any of those interesting things about flatworms. They would have been scary, if they weren't so small!

Things did get dull, though. Since Edward didn't sleep, he resigned himself to simply staring at what remained of the ceiling in the gym, and the stars that were visible where sky peeked through.

"Of course I was awake," Edawrd said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "He waited until I had learned all about poetry and literature and art, so I wouldn't get bored and walk away." How well Edward could remember not being able to move anything except his face and his hands during the early stages of his cognitive development. That had been very interesting. "No! No, it doesn't hurt. It's missing, but it's not painful. I'm OK," he assured her, smiling. But it was clearly different with Kim's arm. "You're broken?" he asked quietly, staring at the sling her arm was currently held in.

The buckles and straps did make removing the suit impossible for Edward. He had never tried, and there was the thought that the tight leather served like skin, keeping his insides inside of him. Even Edward wasn't quite sure if that was the case... obviously, he couldn't feel through the leather, but he had worn it for so long that it might as well have been his skin. "No...I can't..." Edward said, shaking his head slowly back and forth. "It protects me, but it's hard to move, sometimes..."

He sat up straighter when Kim asked him if it was worth it to come down to Suburbia. Eyes shining, filled with knowledge that had not been there before his introduction to society, he nodded.
