[yeah, probably. but Mars ain't gonna push to get Skylark healed if he doesn't want to be]

[plucks his phone from his pocket to sift through his sensitIV contacts]

Ah, damn it. . . this is harder now that Nya is gone.

I do not have a preference on who comes. And I shall pay for it if they require payment.

[goes to sit down on the floor by the wall and just. rest.

ow.]

Nope. My treat.

[helps Fox sit down before Mars picks a random sensitIV (Persephone) and shoots them a text]

Mars: yo
Mars: how much for a quick heal?
Mars: it's for fox on taisho

[just smiles at him, fond]

Very well. I shall allow it.

[flashes him a smile, and once the points transfer is complete, he tucks his phone away and sits next to fox until persephone arrives]

[leans his head on mars's shoulder]

[huffs a little and cards his fingers through Fox's hair while they wait]

[pet meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

fox's tails wag]

wisteria: 300

[points transfer to persephone, get!!]

Mars: thanks
Mars: we're in the hotel lobby

[presumably is summoned and shows up. still a siren in a translucent floor-length dress that's wet at the hem, fin-shaped ears, and ghostly white scales.]

[sitting here with fox, spinning his phone on his index finger. he stands up when Persephone arrives to greet him]

Yo.

[two-fingered salute]

Thanks for coming.

You are, ah, welcome. [and turns to tend to Fox.]

[sitting on the floor up against the wall for support; he's got a number of harsh cuts and scrapes and bruises on him, some of which are mild enough to not bother with but a few that look pretty nasty. and he's holding his arm, which looks like it's moving at an odd angle]

Thank you for coming. I apologize for the inconvenience in the middle of the game.

You do not, ah, need to apologize. Accidents, ah, happen. [takes stock of his injuries and starts with the nasty cuts. stopping the bleeding is first priority.]

[sits patiently while persephone works]

I appreciate it, regardless.

You are, ah, welcome. [and once he's done with the cuts, will go fix his arm, too.]

May I ask you something? Have you ever had to deal with someone who refuses to be healed?

I, ah, have not: Anubis has, but it was a temporary refusal, I believe.

...is there, ah, someone that refuses to be healed?

My sparring partner, Skylark of Taisho. He is unfortunately too stubborn to allow himself to be healed, and as I was the one wielding a sword, he has suffered a number of cuts and other wounds that should be taken care of for risk of blood loss. But I could not get him to stay and wait for healing even if I tried. Still, I am worried about him.

I, ah, see.

...Stubborn... [considers.] ...I, ah, have known stubborn warriors, where I came from. [like his husband] Is Skylark a man that values strength?

I would say so, yes.

Appeal to his desire for strength. Since, ah, worry will not work, point out to him that training or fighting while injured not only reduces his efficiency and thus whatever he might gain from it, but risks causing him permanent damage.

And if that does not work - leaving himself injured leaves him, ah, vulnerable.

[nods]

I hope one of those options appeals to his senses. Thank you, Persephone.

You are, ah, welcome. I hope it goes well.

Has the, ah, game gone well for you, otherwise?
