without the rigmarole
"Okay, so I'm not fine, but --" Alexis' shoulders were set, their eyes were green steel - "Y'don't need me ******** things up for everyone else again. There's enough goin' on without me getting in the way. So what if I'm not fine? 's better if I just give up on it. Nobody else gets hurt because of me."
Last night had been bad, again; flickers of the hall of mirrors, a leg piercing through Zac's torso like he was a toy, and then always back to their-face-turning-to-Rill with blood in their mouth and her under them, sobbing, pleading, shattered fingers abortively pushing at them in desperation. Temperance's bones cracking. Blood and blood and blood, fading flickers of the past, a gunshot - they'd woken up panting and had stayed awake for hours, afraid to sleep again while the thoughts were fresh.

without the rigmarole
"People get hurt less if I don't have the power t'hurt them-" their voice rose in volume, a current, rushing forward and so strong so strong, pulling them away from shore --
One of the nurses opened the door - a woman in her twenties, short rakish hair, a persistent tired look - and gestured to Alexis, looking decidedly unimpressed. "Do you need her to be escorted out?" (They bristled at the 'her' but swallowed it down, down, down; it was their life, always would be, they could no sooner fix it than they could rewrite themself on a fundamental level. If they looked at the nurse too much they thought about tearing her apart with nails and knives.)

"No rest for the wicked," agreed Jeremiah solemnly. Not that he was necessarily wicked but the point remained. His head tilted before he nodded a little.
"I was thinking about spending some time at Court while I am recovering and letting magic help speed the process along a bit. The bone bruises are the ... problem."

"A good thing," that the new healer was gentle, "and if you would, I would greatly appreciate it." Then, as if he realized it, he spoke again. His voice was low, just audible for Temperance. "I've no desire to see you having to deal with what I've dealt with since we came to this world or see your career end because prejudice of any kind."
The stares were a bit much sometimes, though thankfully years of serving the APD and Ashdown saved him from some of the truly horrible things about being a known magical user. Even if they were more wary of him now than before thanks to the attempted murder.
"This world has more magic," his voice was still low, "and I believe that due to that I can create a spot in which the skin is not hardened, so to speak, and you'll be able to draw the blood. If I can control the scales, make it harder, then I should be able to briefly do the opposite." Just not permanently as this was simply something that was now part of him.

hello from the otherside
Jeremiah chuckled, at least for a moment before he stopped. His arm wrapped around himself a moment, as if that would ease things. Hellbine, once close enough, squirmed a little in Shiloh's arms but then stayed in them.
Mostly because he had no idea where he was meant to go. The small cat was certain climbing on his people dad was a bad idea right now.
"As a fellow Noble of the Court, I appreciate the time you have taken in enabling my familiar to come to me." His lips twitched, fingers flicking towards the chair that was near his bed and pulled close already. "First someone decided to see if I could be killed with a high-powered rifle shot to the heart then, when that did not work, blew out the tire on the car so that it would roll and crash. Neither, of course, actually worked."

without the rigmarole
If Jeremiah had raised his voice, even still, Alexis might have been fine - they knew yelling, knew how to stand their ground against accusations, against what they were-not leveled at them like a hundred bayonets. But stern disappointment would always make them shiver.
(The nurse arched an eyebrow at Jeremiah, but left anyways. Alexis didn't look at her because all they would think about was her blood on their hands - she was smaller than they were but more sturdily-built, but even regular human teeth could do damage if you bit down where the skin was thin - ********, no, bad thought, s**t. Stop thinking about that.)
"I'm going t'hurt people, I want to hurt people - the best way not to is to make it so I can't." The wall was, abruptly, very fascinating. "You've gotta do better than that if you want to make it seem like a good idea, and not just somethin' I want."

"A strong will over there can do anything," Jeremiah replied. "Though, yes, you should get out of here. It is bad enough they're keeping me now, don't let them keep you."
Then, as if realizing it. "Also let me know about what you learn about Minerva, would you? She's been particularly tight-lipped about sharing," not that it was surprising, "and I've not learned much about her in this world either."

"I'm well aware," his tone went more somber, "of just how strict it is. There have been a small handful of cases of those that have been caught with magic in the medical field." The look on his face implied the outcome was not a good one.
A breath escaped. "If you've the necessary items on hand, I can attempt it. I'm sure it will likely make them a little less agitated with me for all the broken needles."
