[ For once, Wei Wuxian's voice is wise. Shinobu is on her way back from checking on some burn victims . There is no hospital in this town, and it's killing her.
When she spots him, the lack of his usual chaotic energy causes immediate concern and she walks briskly towards him (because her lungs are still healing). ]
Well, I'm alive and that's what's important, right?
[but once they get his clothes off (and the loose bandages wrapped around his wounds), it's. yeah, kind of bad. this obviously did not just come from running around in a city on fire—there's a rather large, ugly burn running from his shoulder across his torso, in the form of a wide line or two. it's also heavily bruised.
almost as if, uh, something burning dropped on him. and may have been on him for a not insignificant amount of time.]
[ Her hand are gentle and clinical as she examines him, pulling on gloves after his clothes are off. She's not touching his burn yet but the areas that aren't bruised at all.
Her brows are knit. She can't smile after seeing this, but her voice, still a little hoarse, is soft but firm as she replies. ]
Yes. I'm very glad you're alive. I meant it when I said I'd hate to see you hurt.
[ She hates that he had to get this hurt because someone decided setting half the town on fire was a good idea. Her anger simmers as she sees the extent of the damage. ]
I don't like this at all. I may have to remove any dead skin.
Shinobu should've known, but it's a patient request and she won't go against it. She's going to make him feel really numb right before she excises his dead skin. There's no pretty way to write that so I'm not even going to pretend. ]

Shigure! Is something wrong?
no subject
[he holds up his hands to placate her. and then winces, because ow, should not move if necessary. whoops.
but since he's already moved his arms, he coughs into a sleeve.]
I just got injured in that entire... disaster, and Whoo insisted I see a doctor after he took a look.
no subject
She doesn't think so, and she peers at him closely. Can she see anything or are his clothes covering his injuries? ]
If he suggested it... Please come in.
[ There's no escape for Shigure today. She directs him to an examination bed. ]
no subject
Then, pardon the intrusion!
no subject
She frowns at him. She's too tired to smile in a threatening or promising way. ]
Please strip.
[ No shame, no hesitation. She doesn't know if she needs to help him with that since she can't see how badly he's hurt. ]
no subject
which is to say that he's struggling with this, as he hisses in pain.]
no subject
This is worse than I thought, if you aren't powering your way through this.

[he nods.]
... Well, do what you need to. I'll leave it to the expert's decision, after all.
no subject
[ Her rage is still in control, but there's no mistaking the way it hardens her voice. ]
Will you tell me what happened?
[ This horrible and ugly burn can somehow be treated at the same time. She's going to inject him with painkillers. ]
no subject
[he says this very casually as if this is a perfectly normal thing to happen to a person.]
no subject
Please care more about your well-being.
[ Don't be so casual!
She goes back to prepping him for his debridement. ]
Did you accomplish what you wanted?
[ He's foolish, but she expects that he wouldn't run through a burning building for nothing. ]

[ She moves away to gather her tools. ]
Do you want to be awake for this?

but yay excision...]
no subject
Please take it easy with your job these next few weeks.
[ She's serious. She's not expecting him to fully rest because she knows him well enough, but. ]
Please try to aggravate your burn as little as possible.
no subject
I'll try.
[how good are his efforts? we'll see............]
