EDWARD RICHTOFEN. / schdnfrud.
‘ my DAY ? vell , i managed to get through it vithout losing my head , und now i have a permanent scar on my cheek. ‘
he slowly leans in , closing his eyes as a prevailing feeling to not be so critical of the marine was ever so present. but , there was a time and place to berate people. perhaps being considerate to person patching him up would be wise.
the gauze glides across his cheekbone , tensing up as the familiar burn stung his face. he handles it fairly well until a quick sharp STING struck one of his nerves. the shock caused him to pull away briefly. it was so brisk - richtofen catching a glimpse of the other’s doting stare before averting his gaze. the look formed a type of knot within his stomach. this happens much more regularly than he’d care to admit.
there’s a soft clear of his throat as he leans back towards dempsey. richtofen can almost hear his heart in his ears with how nervous he feels - he wonders if dempsey can hear how loud it because it’s so overpowering for him.
‘ it could be … better. ‘
❝ yeah, I’LL SAY. ❞ he chuckles, hand going to hold richtofen’s chin to keep him still. he keeps wiping away the blood until there isn’t any more. is this supposed to be as intimate as it is ? he’s willing to say that NO, IT ISN’T -------------- and either he’s imagining things or he’s just a fool for this awful man. it could be either one, honestly.
❝ dunno if my medical opinion matters much to you, doc, but i think you’re going to be just fine. maybe it’s not going to be permanent, don’t be such a pessimist ! ❞ is that fondness in his tone ? ❝ i don’t think it needs stitches. but, like, if it does, you have to go to nikolai. hell if i want anything to do with that. ❞
