Roadhog was tense as he held himself up waiting for the pain of shifting his broken ribs to pass while also clenching his fist ready to give the Medic his final warning that he meant it when he said not to fucking touch himâŚ
However when agreement and an compromise followed the Medicâs annoyed grumble instead of an unwelcome hand, the giantâs head raised from where it had hung panting between his arms, looking suspiciously back at Vin. He looked him over for only a few moments before some of the tension seemed to leave him. âAlright.â He tentatively agreed. It surprised him that the Medic was abiding to his demand but he deeply appreciated it. If the man kept his word heâd consider keeping his.
The cool cave air helped his pain a little as well, but the throbbing agony of his burn seemed to reignite as soon as his back left the cold ground, not helping the pain of his shatter ribs. It was intense but heâd had worse. Once he caught his wheezing breath again, he pushed away from the wall, one arm carefully holding his side in a way that helped reduce the movement of his broken bones as he took slow lumbering steps towards the Medic.
A low begrudging grunt of agreement followed the Medicâs offer to leave, the giant unable to argue when his mask and its cracked lens didnât help him see in the slightest, but with the pain making breathing a little difficult and the light from above still peaking down at the current position he wouldnât be removing his facial covering. Maybe later when the pain had numbed and he felt it was dark enough that the Medic surely wouldnât see his face.
It was slow going at first, not only slowed down by the pain but weary to trust Vinâs lead. It would be an hour of slowly shuffling after the Medic before the pace picked up, and the whole hour Roadhog would spent silent aside from his distorted wheezy breathing echoing through the dark and the occasional grunt of acknowledgement at a warning to watch his step.
When they were far enough into the black darkness, Roadhog did decide to remove his mask, if only for a bit. A silver beard peppered a strong underbite jaw weakened by his double chin, his lips were big and plump with a piecing in the middle and two little tusks sticking out from the sides. This nose is thick but short and upturned in a fittingly piggish manner, a slashing scar running through it and over his cheek bones just under his eyes, and another piercing, a nose ring hung on his septum.
His eyes a hickory brown with the wisps of his iris lighter, giving his almond shaped eyes a leathery look. His brow protruded in a brutish manner that played to the rest of his rough features, the left of his thick but well trimmed eyebrows missing some hair as another slashing scar ran through it right next to the last of his facial piercings, a bar that pierced the eyebrow.
Roadhog was of Japanese decent but it would be a little difficult to tell through the more obvious conclusion a Medical man such as Vin might come to. Roadhogâs medical file hadnât made it over to the base yet but from his more pronounced facial features alongside his body size and deep voice the Medic might recognize the clear signs of gigantism and maybe detect the acromegaly as well.
As his mask was off Roadhog started to cleared the blood from it and his chin but only got some of the red smeared before he felt red eyes on him and unnerved slowly put his mask back on.
