john had rounded the corner to a thump! and the screech of spinning tires burning rubber on the asphalt. the poor sod left lying in the road after the car sped off was in one piece, at the very least, although john couldn't find much else positive to say about him -- just from the looks of him, if he wasn't already dead, he sure would be soon.
which is why is was so damn startling when he not only groaned in pain, but moved like he wanted to sit up. john had been about to dial for an ambulance, but promptly abandoned the idea to rush to the young man's side.
" steady on, lad, you're alright. " trying not to put pressure on any sore spots ( which wasn't an easy task, considering everything looked like it'd be sore after a hit like that ), john pushed him to stay lying down, as still as he could. consider that his one good deed for the week, then. " easy does it, no last rites today. just- don't squirm around so much. "
his body seemed to be looking after itself, in a macabre sort of way, leaving john with little else to do but press the bones and sinew back into place to ( hopefully ) help everything knit itself back together. well, that, and imbue each touch with just enough magic to ease the pain.
" yeah, it is, though, i'nt it? learnt it after i broke me leg at a gig one time. there's a reason they don't let morons like us jump off stage anymore. same goes with walking into traffic, y'know. " he even laughed -- not so much because the current circumstances were funny, the sorry bastard was in a crossing after all, but because it seemed like it might lighten the grim mood. " not near as nice as whatever the hell you call that, though, bloody hell. "
