blood_royal: (like a dart stuck square in your eye)

you're gonna go far, kid

[Action 1, 1667 Nelson]

[Zuko isn't quite accustomed to getting mail; years at sea tends to cut a man off from the outside world, so a package addressed to him is met with suspicion... though, admittedly, curiosity as well.

It's not long before the rest of the house might hear an agonized scream and, should they investigate, find a very pained Zuko crouched on the ground, clutching his left eye and shaking. The sharp-eyed might notice that the skin all along the side of his face is burned - it's more obvious with his hairstyle. What a first regain.]


[Action 2, around town/pharmacy]

[Like hell is Zuko is going to the hospital for this. He's thoroughly bandaged his face and is steadfastly going to the pharmacy to get burn cream and ice packs. He will deal with this bullshit himself. He is strong. He doesn't need to be coddled.]

[He's not the only one staring at the burn remedies this morning. A solid morning of hauling at a hammer not meant to be touched by human hands has left the palms of Thor's hands looking rather like raw hamburger, and he's staring at the little cases of ointment in front of him with consternation.

He glances up when Zuko walks in - and does a double-take as he approaches. There's a wound he's not seen Mayfield inflict before.]

What are you staring at?

[Zuko is sullen and snappish; a quarter of his face is gone, okay. He's not going to be in a good mood.]

[Thor's not blaming him. His hands hurt, but that's better than taking a burn to the eye. His reply is gruffly sympathetic.]

What do you expect to find for such a wound here, boy?

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He huffs, glad at least that this isn't starting an argument.]

Some kind of lotion or something. I've had to do this before.

What happened to your hands?

[identity profile] richtighammer.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thor's face darkens, and he closes his fists, ignoring the pain.]

Better to ask what happened to your eye. You've the worse wound between us.

[Zuko shuts his eyes, shaking his head.]

This comes from home. I guess Mayfield decided it didn't want me to forget.

[He picks up one of the burn ointments off the shelf, rather carelessly using some to cool the burn after peeling back some of the bandaging on his face. Fuck Mayfield; he's not paying for a damn thing.]

[Well, that was a new scream in his house. And the Major had thought he had gotten so used to them by this point. He strolls into the kitchen and looks down at Zuko. Not with concern, but interest.]

My.

What happened here?

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I opened a box.

[Zuko speaks through gritted teeth, stumbling to his feet so he can lean upright against the doorjamb. Well, for a certain value of "upright;" his shoulders are hunched, and after about three seconds of willpower he bolts to the sink and starts running cold water over a dishrag.]

[identity profile] sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Well it's a damn good thing you didn't expect any assistance from the Major, cause he sure as shit isn't handing out any. In fact, he's laughing a little. See, his box had a nice trick this month too.

Oh. By the by? He has an eyepatch over his left eye because it kind of got shot out.]


Indeed! That would be your first regain.

What was lost when you came here is now returned, bit by bit! Including scars.

[Keep it classy, Mayfield. Zuko doesn't even care that he's being laughed at; he's far more interested in pressing the cold rag against the burn. There's probably no reaction the Major could have that would be worse than how he got the scar the first time around.]

But why this?! There's a million other things that would be better! And why'd they have to do it this way?!

[Yeah, that might be some panic there. Understandable, given the circumstances.]

[identity profile] sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You could say the town has a wicked sense of humor, I suppose!

Quite an interesting scar though, sir. Might I inquire how you got it?

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
My people can throw fireballs. What do you think happened?

[He'll just let the Major come up with his own story.]

[RUNNING IN]

What the fuck is with facial wounds and this fucking house! [this is how she shows concern]

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[THE YELLING IS NOT HELPING. Zuko stumbles back and whirls, completely panicked.]

What's wrong with you?!

[identity profile] notsaul.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Your face, that's what's fucking wrong!

The stove is not for putting your face on, kid, what the fuck!

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't put my face on the stove!

[identity profile] notsaul.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Then what the fuck did you do!

Get in a fight? I hope the other guy looks worse.

[identity profile] blood-royal.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. I guess he does.

What do you want?

[This is standard Zuko grumpy behavior. Pay no mind.]

Want? Nothing but to find a way home from this place, maybe pay some retribution to the person who brought us here.
