Chance really did stick out his tongue this time. "If I'd come back covered in blood, I would have gone to the infirmary," he said dryly. "No way am I getting that s**t over my bed or yours."
He took another sip of water and snorted.
"Fine, okay, I'll make you a deal," said Chance. "However long it takes me to recover is however long I'll do whatever it is that you want me to do."
He made a wavy gesture with his free hand. "I'll essentially be your slave for that time, sound good?"

"Hmm... double edged sword there." He murmured, "On one hand, long day with my own servant... on the other hand The longer this last, the more I'm worried about you."

He shifted, winced, and took another swallow of water.
"Well," said Chance, glancing at his watch. "It's already been like, what...nine and a half hours? Almost ten? That's over twice as long as the artifact actually lasts, it can't possibly last much longer...can it?"
He flicked a slightly uncertain look at Otto, though it was doubtful he would know the answer to that question.

"I don't like that it lasted as long as it did to begin with. Let alone double the actual helpful effect." He grumbled back. It was troublesome. How was Chance going to deal with a side effect like this if it happened in a dangerous area? "C'mon. Go to the couch. We'll watch a movie to kill more time." It beat sitting and staring at him, waiting.

He winced, because Otto was right; so far, the extra sensitivity to pain was far outweighing the completely lack of it.
"All right, all right," Chance muttered, and reached out to grasp one of Otto's shoulders again, trying slowly to heave himself to his feet. "We're not gonna watch that one movie you mentioned before, are we? The Ring one?"

"Why? Y'scared?" He smirked, helping Chance up. Heaven forbid the man stub his toe again. Or worse. "But.. no. We aren't. It's got jump scares, and I don't want you flailin' yer lanky limbs into my coffee table."

He gave Otto a pointed look that was half exasperated, half amusement.
"I'm not scared, you a**," said Chance indignantly, slinging his arm around Otto's shoulder as they stood and leaning partly against him as he shuffled pathetically out of the bedroom, towards the couch. "Just concerned. What are we gonna watch then?"

"Concerned about what? Dead Lions? Attractive Dead Theives?" Otto smirked, setting the man down on the couch. "I mean, even Twister and 2012 had dead guys. So really.. What's wrong with some dead chic haunting people? Such a sensitive soul." He smirked some more, haughtily looking down on Chance. "Precious."

Chance flopped down with all the grace of sleepy penguin and leaned his head against the back of the couch, lips twisting into an expression of mild exasperation.
"Don't give me that look," he said indignantly. "You're not concerned about a dead chick haunting people. And besides," Chance added, pointing a finger accusingly in Otto's direction. "I totally don't trust you when you say a movie is happy anymore."

Otto smiled. "Then just assume all of them are terrible, and you'll get a happy surprise later on!"

Chance just stared at him.
"You're totally just being a little s**t on purpose now, aren't you."

Chance just glared at him somewhat halfheartedly, sinking lower onto the couch until he was mostly sprawled across it while still leaving room for Otto, should he want to sit there.
He was quiet for a moment, party out of exhaustion and partly out of thought, and then said a little ruefully,
"Well. I suppose I deserve that, kinda, all things considered."

His brows rose haughtily in victory, turning on his heel to look at the movies he had. "Just get better and I'll forgive you." Easy, right Chance? "Anythin' up here you wanna see? Or do you really not trust me no more?" That made him amused, though.

"Yes, lemme get straight on that right away," said Chance dryly, waving a hand. "I'll just, you know, snap my fingers and get better instantly, because that's how it works, right?"
The sass was, sadly, unavoidable. Good thing Otto had it in spades to return.
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Something that doesn't take a whole lot of thinking to understand, because I'm not entirely certain my brain is up to par for actually figuring things out properly. Maybe one of your natural disaster ones that you like, those are fun?"
