"Gods, what the hell were you thinking?!" She shouted, but the kind where there's an edge -- Shaking and curling up at the ends where the concern shone through brightly, as she gently touched a pad saturated in disinfectant to one of the many lacerations that littered the brown bloods face.

Thread let out a slight hiss at the sting, but did all that she could to smile through her swollen and bruised lower lip. "Concern is a good color on you, love."

The fuchsia turned her head with a huff, clearly hiding the beginnings of a blush. She didn't look away for long though, her eyes were drawn back to Thread seconds later searching for any bumps or knicks she might have missed in her preliminary cleaning. She was always thorough that way. "Please tell me what happened." Her voice was much softer this time, concern overtaking whatever kneejerk anger response her caste was predisposed too. She never liked seeming to abrasive, said it was way too typical for fuchsia to be that way.

"And if I said I tripped and fell?" Thread finally broke the silence that blanketed the room, one that for her was just a few seconds but she knew for her darling matesprit was an eternity. 

"Oh if only it were ever that simple with you." She wore a tired smile now, a smile that Thread new all to well meant she was done dancing around the subject.

Thread let out a quick breathless laugh. "Okay, but you should see the other guy. Really!" Finally, though, she took her partners hand into hers and looked deeping into those fuchsia eyes -- They welled with concern, she looked like she would cry any moment now.

Thread knew she was a slave to those eyes, she could tell those eyes anything and everything.

Well. Not everything.

Never everything. As much as she wanted to.

"Nothing too crazy. Saw a guy picking on a lower blood." She said simply, with a shrug.

"Lower than you?"

"Well! No. You know what I meant."

"If they were higher in caste than you, what stopped for defending themselves?"

"I don't know. Cowardice? Purple bloods are --"

"Purple!" Finally, she let go of Threads hands, throwing her own up in frustration. "You're out here fighting purple bloods! You're not a vigilante Thread!"

"Hey I--"

"Thread, I can't keep doing this." Oh no. Tears. Thread never knew what to do about tears. "Every evening I'm worried I'll wake up to your head on a pike. You're so reckless these days.."

Thread winced at the thought. "Well, maybe if the seadwellers who lived around here would do something to make it a little safer! But know you're too scared of clowns and ohh the politics of it all!"

As soon as the words left her mouth she wanted to reach out and pull them out of the air, she could swallow her tongue right now if it'd help.

Arguing was so unproductive!

It was too late though, a scandalized look took over her matesprits features, she even recoiled as if shot.

"You know we're doing what we can. It's delicate! It's a delicate situation.

"It's not enough. It'll never be enough if you keep following their rules."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." She spoke through gritted teeth as she continued to clean Threads wounds.

She’ll drop you like a ton of bricks

“Trusty Wrench!” a wrench that looks like it’s been put to use more than a couple of times, a pair of goggles, and a piece of paper that looks like it’s written in some sort of code. Not in standard Alternian, to say the least! What you can make out of it looks to be a set of nonsense coordinates and instructions.

Thread spends most of her time when she isn’t working making and selling prosthetics! She mostly sells them to the lesser abled to pay, which is a running theme with my trolls I know leave me alone I’m poor, and offers a payment plan! Sometimes though... If the person seems sketch she might include her other hobby in the making of it.. .And by that I mean she puts some sort of numbing toxin in them that are on a remote release and if you don’t uhhh if you don’t pay for your shit releases juuuuust enough of it to make you be like HEY UH SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ARMS and you are reminded to pay her (hopefully)

If someone skips out on paying for too terribly long then she just comes and beats you up I guess. Idk I just thought it was a fun little thing to include her toxicology hobby don’t look at me.
