Recorder- that was an instrument she was at least familiar with since quite a few elementary schools taught children how to play one in music class. However, the other instrument he mention had her perplexed "What's a Shawm?" she asked while she rummaged though the toolbox.

Having found the bandages exactly where he said they were she got up to go back over to where they had been sitting but froze when she got an actual glimpse of his backside. The laceration seemed to be sealed alright with the glue and butterflies still intact. Though he still had areas of dried blood and listerine that she had neglected to clean last night having concentrated her efforts to the edge of the injury so the butterfly adhesive would stick properly. "Umm, do you happen to have a wash cloth?"

"Its a predecessor instrument to the Oboe. If you don't know what an oboe is, you've probably already heard one- it tends to be the soloist part in "The Arabian Music" of the Nutcracker ballet if an English Horn isn't used. If you've seen the old 1980s Pacific Northwest Ballet The Nutcracker they used to air on TV every holiday...its the piece when the peacock dances."

Most other pieces are probably too obscure unless she happens to really like classical music. In which case she'd know what an oboe was anyway.

"There are wash-cloths and full sized towels in the medical shelving there, top shelf. Actually, there are spare large-sized clothes there as a catchall should anyone need. Could you bring out one of the shirts? There should be a button down, which will alleviate needing to move my laterals and shoulders as much. "

Some tiny thing like her in a men's large t-shirt would be tragically cute, but thankfully not the current necessity. He didn't wear a men's large himself. It was something that could serve to fit anyone or provide enough clothe for extra bandages in a pinch, so he'd gotten a handful from the thrift and washed them. There were shorts and pants all with drawstrings, socks, and a couple hoodies as well. Underclothes were too variable, so were absent.

"Ahh, I know what an Oboe is." I wonder if someday I'll ever get the chance to hear you play it Temporarily setting the bandages down for a moment, Acrucis walked over to the shelving unit Quenton directed her to and opened the doors to retrieve two washcloths and button down shirt he had requested "My parents use to have a copy of that version recorded on VHS. We use to watch it every year on Christmas Eve till our player broke three years ago"

Carefully setting everything down next to him, including a bowl of warm water, Acrucis set to work at cleaning the blood stains and Listerine spots she had missed the night before. "Have you had a chance to ever go see the actual ballet?" After dabbing at the droplets of water with the dry cloth she set both cotton clothes on the table and picked up the bandages.

"Umm.." she went to ask him whether or not there were any hair ties so he wouldn't have to hold his hair out of the way while keeping his arms up when she remembered that she had one. Powering down for a brief moment she brought her hair over her shoulder to remove the black hair tie. Using her fingers as a comb she tried her best to not snag any hairs as she tied his hair up, then powered up once more. "Sorry, I don't want you hair getting caught in the bandage. These aren't the cotton ones where it wouldn't matter much."

"What would be the best way to do this? Do you want me to bring some chairs over so you can rest your elbows on them?" she asked while looking around the room in a new 360 degree turn. Hmmm There's got to be something to make this easier.

"I've seen ballet a few times in a couple different cities, but never the Nutcracker ballet on stage. Just the movie." He quirked feeling his hair tugged about but the explanation was immediate. It was a good idea and plan to get it out of the way.

"No, don't worry about the chairs." Using his hands to motion along, he explained the pattern that the wrapping would need to follow, "Around here until there's coverage to here, up and over here, like if you were wrapping the shoulder blade to stabilize it, around again to here, the other shoulder. The cross will reinforce the glue on the gash. It's important for the end of it to tuck here into these coils so that I can access it to take it off in about eight hours. It's actually bad to compress broken ribs because of breathing risk, but the gash needs the help and the stability will lessen the pain enough that I can stretch out and get the rest of my body in working order again with some slow, gentle stretches to keep blood and lymph moving after a day of just laying there like a stone. "

"After that I should be good to sleep and then head home in the morning. Because if I don't shower and get this Listerine stink out of my hair I'm going to lose it." It was a joke, hoping to reassure her.

Acrucis followed his directions on how to effectively wrap his upper torso, thankful that he was more coherent today as opposed to last night. Though she did find herself periodically asking if it was either too loose or tight and adjusting appropriately. "Before we met the first time, I met an eternal - Ganymede. Any who I found out from her that Destiny City has their own ballet. If you haven't yet, may I suggest possibly looking into going to see one of their dances?"

Once done she removed her tie, letting his hair drape over his back again. His joke caught her a little off guard, eliciting a small laugh that she quickly covered up by clearing her throat- yet the smile remained. Yes, his hair does indeed permeate the refreshing smell of Listerine mouth wash. "If it's the smell that's bothering you may I suggest using anything except tea tree -mint shampoo." she joked in return.

At least meeting an eternal is more promising than cordially meeting more agents of the Negaverse. I haven't heard of a Ganymede, though. I wonder if there's any relation to Aquarius or an Aquila, as there might as well should be.

"I don't expect I'll have the time or money very soon, but I will keep it in mind."

Sitting in a theater for a few hours watching people ponce around on stage to lights and music felt wasteful in its mundanity. As for shampoo? "I'll make a note of that-"

What he had at home was just some Grapefruit Bergamot stuff he'd bought because it was bracing and smelled neither like Polo nor Drakkar Noir (which most mens products seemed to emulate). As he'd warned, he carefully shifted to standing, but took the step towards the wall and cabinetry to put a hand there for extra support. The wrap held well.

"Thank you, this helps a lot. You did well."

Acrucis visibly cringed when he went to stretch, "Just please - please be careful and don't over do it." He didn't see the gash on his back and to be honest she wasn't entirely sure how well the glue would hold.

He knew better than she did on what had to be done but still she didn't like seeing him in discomfort or pain. Thankful for what little rest she did manage to get, Acrucis ran through the motions of casting her Prayer of Renew like she did the night before, only waiting for the previous one to completely fade before casting it again.

Once she finished she allowed herself to power down, no need to hold up powered appearances and waste energy - energy she needed to get home. "Get some rest if you can, okay?" Hannah instructed, her voice soft and non demanding yet held a tone of motherly advice the nurses are rubbing off on me. "I'll be back in a few hours with some actual food. Please don't up and disappear again, I don't want to go another month wondering if you are okay."

With that said she gathered her things together "Hey Quenton?" She paused for a moment, till she knew she had his attention. "Just so you know, you can trust me. I won't tell anyone who you are nor will I bring anyone here till I know you're doing better. When I spoke to Phact last night I told her I was helping Thraen not Quenton." She offered him a weak smile as her gaze drifted over the numerous bandages. "Be safe please." With that said she waved farewell and headed out the window making sure it was securely closed before heading home.
