"Yes. I'm starving... and thirsty... but my arm is killing me..," her non-eyebrows raised up expectantly at you Melvin. A more genuine smile curled her lips.

He looked at her remaining arm, concerned, before the joke dawned on him. His expression was less than thrilled. "That isn't funny." The corner of his lips, however, did twitch up just a little.

"It is and you know it, now feed your poor helpless girlfriend."
Rin slid her eyes half-closed, opened her mouth, and exaggeratedly stuck out her tongue expectantly at Melvin.

"Oh, right. I'll be right back just stay there - well. Yeah." It wasn't like she was going anywhere, but he was jumpy about leaving her or her leaving him." Turning, he headed straight for the door, paused, went to his coat, picked out his wallet, and then went back to the door. "I'll be right back." He stated again, and then left.
After a short while, Melvin came back with a bottle of water, a bottle of juice, and what was probably half the vending machine, which he held precariously in his arms as he shut the door and walked over. He then set them down on the spot beside her on the bed. "I'm back." He said, as if that needed explaining.

Rin's eyes widened at the spoils Melvin returned with before laughing boisterously. "I only have the one stomach I hope you realize." Her laughter stifled with a little groan as it rubbed against bandages a little too hard. She recovered quickly and pat the bet opposite the candy.
"C'mere you, relax. Your a** got hurt too, I'm sure."

"Yeah, but you'll get hungry again. This way I don't have to go again." It wasn't any trouble to him, but leaving over and over bothered him. He wanted to stay here.
Lightly sitting now as to not upset the mattress too much and jostle Rin, he leaned back and set his hands in his lap. "I didn't get hurt too much." He had barely been touched by the flames, and recovered easily.
He looked at the snacked and back at her, before leaning over and picking up the water. He twisted off the water cap and offered the bottle to her. "Here."

Rin was about to take it but instead leaned in towards him and opened her mouth. She wasn't joking about being fed like a spoiled queen.

Any other time, he would have fought Rin on this and told her not to be such a baby. This time however, he have no fight in him. Rin was hurt, and if she wanted him to lay on the ground reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, he would have done that. Scooting about, he placed one hand a inch under her chin in case she spilled water, and then pressed the bottle to her lips and tilted it slowly.

Rin took a proper swig before pulling her lips back with a nod, "Thank you, Man-servant~" Despite her jokey tone, she knew something was up. Melvin usually had a lot more fight in him but... well. She hoped he wasn't letting guilt eat him alive.
"I'm glad you are okay," she offered, a bit more serious.

He twisted the cap back on, holding in case she wanted another drink, and sat there, looking at her with deep concern. She hadn't noticed yet, and was now joking. He wondered if he should let her fall asleep without noticing, or if it would be worse to let her notice without him telling her.
It was bound to happen one way or another. "Rin, I'm glad you are safe too." And yet there was still something he had to point out. "The fire left you with a lot of scars...and..." He looked to the bandages on her head. "...it burned your hair."

"It... burned my hair?" Well, that certainly explained a few things. Why her head felt so light for one. She just... opted not to question it. Still, a new look. Maybe the lifers gave her a cute new bob. She reached up curiously to remove the disposable scrub cap still on her head. It came off a lot easier than she was expecting. Okay. A really really short haircut. She could live with that. She could totally live with... her hand brushed against something that was much shorter than short. It felt both soft and prickly... but most certainly not hair-like.
She stared at Melvin, eyes wide with surprise. "How bad is it?" She clutched the scrub cap tightly in her hand. She already knew the answer.

He set a hand on her hand, but his expression said it all. "It's....." Far from the glorious black locks she once owned. "...not bad. Just...." He was trying to spin it. "..new."
He patted her hand a few times. "It will grow back."

"I want to see it," Rin wasn't asking.

Frowning, he got up and walked over to the drawers, opening a few before he found a small, circular mirror. He twisted off the attachment that went with it, until he had just the mirror in his hand. Moving back, he slowly sat back down and, slowly, hesitantly, offered it to her.
Before she lifted it, he set his hand on the face of the mirror and looked at her. "It's really not that bad." He said, before removing his hand.

She waited patiently. She stared at his hand. She was only half-listening ********!" She shrieked at what she saw. "I LOOK LIKE A BOY!" She was mortified.
