-3° - Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot

[catchacold]

[The feed comes to life and Leonard's sitting in his room, mostly illuminated by candle-light, which does soften the still visible bruises (as a result of this) on his face a little. He's playing with a lighter in one hand, turning it, palming it and flipping it open and shut, but never actually lighting it.

Mostly he looks at the camera, both eye by now able to open fully again.]

Time doesn't really seem to do much in the way of passing here, but things happen anyway. So, guess this is still a worthwhile question.

You got any resolutions?

[Which of course also begs the question whether he has any himself. He looks as if he wants to keep talking at first, but his mouth stays shut and he looks off past the camera, the flame of a candle reflected in his eyes. Finally he cuts off the video.]

Too late, I'm worrying.

[catchacold]

It's already almost healed up. Can't really do much about bruises.

I earned that beating. Not a big deal.

[finewithhalf]

You didn't earn it.

It's just something weird.

Riley, it's like Lucas a little bit. his friend's got a temper.

[catchacold]

He has a temper and maybe it's something weird, but I still had that one coming, princess.

[finewithhalf]

Because you left him.

But you had your reasons.

So it's complicated.

[catchacold]

Yeah, I ain't discussing this out in the open.

Though I'll say that my reasons don't matter if that was the result.

[boilover]

Have you told her that your reasons are basically about you being a dick?

[catchacold]

Look who's awake.

[boilover]

Funny, Snart.

She thinks it's complicated. Do you think it's complicated? Cause I think it's pretty fucking obvious where I'm standing.

[catchacold]

I think it's difficult for her to grasp it, so. Yeah.

Easy enough from where we stand.

[boilover]

Good. Cause if you were finding it a little complicated to grasp, I could draw you a picture or re-explain the whole damn thing.

Just so we're clear.

[finewithhalf]

Rude

[plutonicideals]

No one deserves anything like that, though.

[catchacold]

You really come from somewhere else, eh?

You ever get angry, Riley?

[plutonicideals]

Of course I do! I've gotten mad about a lot of stuff before. I just—don't think anyone deserves for that to happen to them.

[catchacold]

But you know people express themselves different ways. Sometimes, for some, it's easier to talk with fists. Life's not the same for everyone.

[plutonicideals]

I don't think it's the same for everyone. I just don't like fighting. I don't like seeing people hurt.

Has anyone looked at the bruises yet?

[catchacold]

Sure, just look at you making a big deal out of them.

They are days old now, doesn't even hurt. I'm a big boy, I'm fine. Promise.

[plutonicideals]

Oh. Okay, that's good to know.

[Also man some things sure are happening.]

[finewithhalf]

[Yeah, they sure are.]

Wanna go patch Lenny up? It's been a while, but he can probably still use some ice or something.

[plutonicideals]

Yeah...

He needs it. It'll help it get better faster probably, at least. I hope.

[finewithhalf]

I'll get some bandaids.

The big ones.

[plutonicideals]

Get a lot of them. Should we get rubbing alcohol too? That's supposed to help disinfect things, right?

[finewithhalf]

Yeah, maybe. Probably.

What's in your first aid kit at home? Your parents would have the right idea.

[plutonicideals]

[She's totally counting all this off on her fingers as she tries to recall it.]

Bandaids, rubbing alcohol, tylenol, gauze, scissors, tape, antibiotic cream... I think that's it. It covered most of the normal stuff that happened.
