a kirin stretching her legs

That art inspired you to dust me off, you say? Well, I suppose I can't rightly complain. I appreciate the icons, and the new journal... Well, there's something to be said for a fresh start, isn't there? You and I both know you'll likely never find a proper "home" for me, but that's fine. There's plenty for a homeless muse to do nowadays, and I'm sure having realistic expectations from the get go will benefit us both.

...Though I must admit, I think I'd prefer it if you had something more to say about me than that I inspire you to listen to erhu music. I know you have a certain affection for those of us who have little in the way of canon, but...

She releases his wrists and fishes out a small cloth from from her dress and cleans up the blood surrounding his eye as gently as she can, doing her best not to put any pressure on it.

He does make a noise oddly like a whining puppy as he awaits her diagnosis though.]

[...Hm.]

Blood doesn't appear to be collecting inside the eye itself, so you should be fine. [She can't say she has ever seen someone's eye do that before, though, so she can only make an educated guess about how to deal with it.] You may want to flush the eye later and make sure nothing else irritates it, however. If there are any further complications, come ba— [Wait, he's not one of her patients.] See a doctor immediately.

Oh, blood is always in there. It cries blood.

[He says that totally casually, like it wouldn't have been useful to know five minutes ago.]

Cool, right?

[gift_of_rui]

...Does it, now? Perhaps the next time something like this happens, you should mention it sooner.

[THAT BEING SAID...]

There is a difference between crying blood and blood collecting within the eye itself. The latter may result in permanent damage to the eye if not properly treated.
