[Writing is messy and his responses are slow since he's writing blind.]

Hey if you're not too busy could one of you get my second pair of glasses from on top of my drawers for me?

I

He kind of smashed my usual pair last night.

[preanimator]

Well, I suppose it's useless for me to respond now.





I hope you're all right.

[greenmoonrising]

I'm the same as always. :) How's your day been so far?

[preanimator]

Fine.

I'll stop bothering you and Stark now, sorry for interrupting.

[greenmoonrising]

You're not interrupting anything, but I guess you're probably busy right now...

I'll see you when I see you.

[preanimator]

I'm not busy.

[greenmoonrising]

:) What, finished all your homework in true Ravenclaw fashion?

[preanimator]

Stop making me out to be a stereotype, I just got bored and had nothing else to do.

[He is, actually, joking, but Herbert tends to sound pissy most of the time.]

Do you need anything else?

[greenmoonrising]

I can't help it if you fit the stereotype so well. :)

Um, are you still willing to help me out with the cuts and stuff after this nonsense is done for the month?

[preanimator]

Of course I am. Though it might be better to heal as we go. Do you need me to come take a look at you?

[greenmoonrising]

Only if you don't mind the nudity - clothes are a bit painful at the moment.

[preanimator]

[Oh. Wow. Didn't know he could get an erection quite that fast. Just ... excuse him a minute while he gapes at his journal for a few moments.]

It's not like it's anything I haven't seen before. And really, if I'm going to be a healer, I can hardly quibble about something like that. I'll be there soon, then?

[greenmoonrising]

[Doesn't realize Herbert's distraction and just responds:] Okay. :)

[preanimator]

[It's a good thing he's got a bit of a walk, and then a sort of hunch through the tunnel - it gives his really embarrassing hard-on plenty of time to disappear. But he'll show up in a half an hour or so, carrying a black bag, and emerging into the Shack with his wand lit.]

Hello?

[greenmoonrising]

[Is in one of the bedrooms curled up in a couch with a ratty blanket wrapped around him. He still looks too pale and too tired to function but hey, there he is!]

In here!

[preanimator]

[smiles at him when he enters the room, possibly inappropriately, but hey, it can never be too bad when someone looks happy to see you, right?]

Bruce. [coming over and setting the bag down, as he perches on the edge of one of the couch cushions] You really should be sleeping.

[greenmoonrising]

[Smiles tiredly but warmly at Herbert, sitting up a bit and causing one shoulder to be bared.]

Herbert.

[Snorts at the suggestion.]

I had homework.

[preanimator]

[dark eyes flick to the shoulder, and Herbert has to remind himself that it's no big deal, that he's seen it before, it's fine, nothing to get excited about]

Are you done with it now? I could help, if you're not. I mean, when we're done with the the other.

[greenmoonrising]

[Shrugs.]

Nah, I did most of it today anyway. Now I'm just a bit too woozy to bother with the rest.

[preanimator]

All right. [Probably can't make up some excuse to draw this out too much, then, or Bruce'll just fall asleep on him. Of course, a naked boy he fancies falling asleep on him isn't exactly a bad thing ... ]

Should I get started, then? I don't want to be pestering you. [Is pretty sure Bruce is going to say he isn't, and then he can feel free to stay a little longer. >.>]

[greenmoonrising]

[Smiles wearily at him.]

You're never pestering me, you know that. You can stay until the moon starts rising if you want.

[Yawns and leans forward, letting the blanket drop completely from his shoulders to pool around his lap.]

Have at ye.

[preanimator]

[Herbert swallows hard, then clears his throat to try and cover it, before he raises a hand and hesitantly places it on Bruce's bare shoulder- oh. Dear.]

Is there anywhere that's particularly sore? [manages to get out evenly, as he pulls his wand and lights it, to better examine the other boy's skin]

[greenmoonrising]

Mm, not really - the rawness fades after a few hours of being human again so it's just the new wounds that throb a bit.

[Indicates at a fresh set of angry red claw marks on one forearm as example. Yeah, he's got them ALL OVER including his back and front.]

[preanimator]

[The smaller boy frowns, taking Bruce's arm and examining the depth of the wounds.] I thought the Wolfsbane potion was supposed to stop this sort of thing?

[greenmoonrising]

[Shrugs.]

It itches at the start of the transformation. Can't stop myself scratching by the time the claws come out.

[preanimator]

Hmm. Perhaps there's a time delay charm that can be used to trim your claws. [He hauls his bag up onto the couch and opens it, digging through to pull out a small bottle of a potion, then a pot of salve. As distracting as it is to have an almost naked Bruce Banner sitting next to him, Herbert IS interested in all things medical, and that's enough, for now, to keep him from having inappropriate physical reactions or focusing too much on all that bare skin.]

Do these itch? [asks as he uncorks the bottle, and gets out a bit of gauze to smoke with a sharp, medicinal smelling fluid]
