"I'm glad everyone came out of it not too much worse for the wear." he said, letting out a deep breath of relief. "I... am sorry if I worried you. Fighting Richardo was difficult enough taking every oppurtunity I could find, if I'd stayed with all of you... it would have been more difficult with less mobility, and I would've been worrying myself sick the entire time that he might take a shot at one of you to distract me." he took another deep breath, and moved his hand a little bit by little bit, stretching it out and making sure it could still move something near normal once he had feeling back in it again. He roughly moved his hand over, and put it atop one of her own. "Thank you, for offering to stay... I... it means a lot, but you don't have to coop yourself up inside with me all day. I'll probably spend most of the time sleeping anyway, I think the only real issues would be removing the lead, dressing wounds, and preventing infection." He tried to move his other arm, but winced and bit his lip a little as the arm failed to move a second before spasming slightly, shooting pain into his head. That must have been the injured shoulder.

"I'll stay with you for all the time you're awake." she started to shape some tongs out of ki "You told me that there was lead inside you, I think we should take that out right now. Could you just tell me where it is? You can probably feel it but I can't see it from here." Morgan thought about what on eart she was going to use for dressings...

Rivven started to laugh, as small bitter laugh, but it turned into coughing and a very sore stomach. He took a deep breath after the coughing and sighed. "I got shot in the shoulder, but I really doubt it's still in there, and there must be whole lot of smaller bullets in my stomach."

"Something like buckshot? That sounds familiar." she said grimly. She wasn't a profesional doctor by any means, but back when she was in the national militia she had had to remove them plenty of times on her commrades.

"More like the smallest gattling gun I've ever seen pressed against my stomach." he looked up at her, getting ready to remove the bullets from him, and took a deep breath to get ready, taking his hand off hers to let her go ahead and begin. "Morgan..." he said quietly, staring up at the ceiling. "...what was upsetting you... before all of this began. I'm sorry I'm so dense... but I just want to know what it was. I want to do something about it for you... but I don't have any idea what."

"Rivven...let's not talk about this directly after all that action. I don't think my hands are steady enough to start right now. I have to calm down. Can you get some rest for me, and when I come back we'll talk?" he had surprised her, there was no way to back up and become defensive at something so direct, but she did need some time to just soak everything in. Morgan put a barrier on the area to hold it for then, told him goodnight and kissed him slowly before she left. Once outside she bit her index finger in thought. When she had learned that Mordrid was to be born she had stopped taking opium. It had been hard, and that didn't that she got didn't get a craving every once and awhile when things stressed her.

She returned from Quin's feeling better. If not for actual truths than maybe it was due to the ego stroking she realized he had just pulled on her. Laughed softly to herself she made her way back to Rivven's room. He was still there naturally, and resting. She laid down beside him (was it her imagination or did both dormitories have unusually large beds?) and looked at him for a moment silently. "Rivven, my behavior just then, getting up and leaving. Please forgive me, it's the stress but I know that's a thin excuse. I want to hear what you have to say."

Rivven smiled lightly, and nodded, just having woken up again, and tried to sit himself up on his one elbow. He almost managed, but ended up laying himself flat again. "It's alright. Don't let it worry you, I'm fine. If you needed time away from me, then that is what you needed after all." he said, but there was a lot more doubt in his mind than in his voice. "...but, all I really wanted was to just help you feel better. Morgan, you were angry about something yesterday, and I want to know what. I want to know, so that I won't do that to you again, so I can make up for what I did." he smiled sympatheticly and waited for her to take her time and let him know, but he was faking confidence again. He wondered why so many things seemed to go wrong for them, if it was his fault that they did, was he pushing her away? He didn't see anything he did as that, but to her... but there was something more deep-seated than that really driving it all, saying maybe she didn't want their relationship to work out, really didn't care for him. Saying that no one could love him, that he didn't deserve it.

"No, no, don't sit up." she said softly "You're still hurt and my sheild isn't the best quality....I don't think I needed time away from you," she said slowly "I was walking out because I discovered that what I was doing was wrong, and then I didn't want to admit that I'd scewed up. I was blowing things out of proportion. You should only ever tell me what you want to." That was all rational and good, but it didn't last long. She moved forward and hugged what she could that wasn't wounded, but it was hard and needy.

Rivven wrapped his arm around her, the good one, rather limply, but tried to hold some strength into it, and leaned his head up a little. "Not telling you...?" he paused and bit his lip. "I don't recall trying to keep anything from you... I would answer just about any question you could ask. Was I... really doing that?"

"Rivven, how could I ask about something I didn't know?" between almost everyword she gave him little kisses. She didn't have to apologize to him apparently, which was always a hard thing for her to do, and they seemed to be perfect with eachother once again. The arm was a little limp, she should take care of the wound quickly...

"Oh... yes I'm sorry, you're right. I... guess it's up to me then to just try to figure out what you might want to know about and tell you. I can't imagine you'd want me to drone on about everything." he craned his neck up, and kissed her, before letting his head rest again. He felt sore all over, but he knew what was sapping his strength was the two large wounds. Neither would heal quickly, a large wound that wasn't clean, and a still fairly sizable circular wound, as the body had trouble healing puncture wounds becaus of that shape, and the larger they were the worse it was.

Morgan sighed and looked at her ripped and ruined clothes. Lucky this time that it didn't break any serious taboos on modesty. "But you know I love to here you talk. Let's get the lead out first." she tored a long thick strip from her toga and handed it to him "To put in your mouth if you think things get too hard, I have nothing to nub this with...I could knock you out but I'm not accurate at hitting the head right. Grab onto my left hand when you need to." she produced ki-created tongs and removed the sheild from his body.

Rivven nodded, tucking the cloth into his mouth but not biting down on it more than enough to keep it in place, putting his arm down beside himself again. "I could probably knock myself out just fine if that's what we needed." he joked through his teeth, and took a deep breath, waiting for her to begin.

Morgan got ontop of him, and for a moment her memory brought her back to Aes's office, with Rivven getting bullets withdrawn. It hadn't been so long ago, had it? But then she was back, he was even able to joke around. She started in on the first wound, careful not to pick up any flesh as best she could.
