[He notices she's gotten out a bag of some sort, and assumes it's first aid supplies. Gebura is, as always, reliable and helpful. He can't help but like her for it.]
Thankfully they're not bleeding as much as they were, though it's hard to keep pressure on all of them at once.
[He sounds more cranky than anything right now, and he lowers his hand from his face so she can take a better look.]
[When she starts dabbing at the scratches with the familiar sting and bubble of peroxide, he hisses through his teeth, but doesn't move or protest, just stays still and allows her to do it. He doesn't have a weak tolerance to pain, but not a strong one either.]
Thank you, for being willing to help.
[He says it after a moment, looking up at her with pale eyes while she continues to dab peroxide over his wounds.]
Believe it or not, I'm not an asshole. [ With a wry twist of her mouth, lifting the cotton ball briefly to check that she's gotten the peroxide into the scratch. ]
I'm not saying I'm the best at helping people, but I do what I can.
[A little nod, though he doesn't move his face much, not wanting to interrupt her ministrations. But that raised eyebrow makes him huff out a breath. It really is a compliment, you can't get much better in Onni's mind than reliable.]
I'm fine with wrapping them. This is somehow more inconvenient to bandage than when my ear was cut.
[A little huff of breath, and he looks very stubborn for a moment.]
Not brave, just stupid. I was helping them with their homework when I was called by Reynir, a person I know back home, that he needed help. I went to help, or rather sent my luonto to help, and my consciousness left my body. They got the scissors while I was still. I guess they got bored.

Yeah, the range of damage isn't exactly convenient here. Hold still, this'll sting.
[ Because she's pouring some peroxide on a cotton ball to begin dabbing it over the scratches. ]

[Another little hiss as she lifts the cotton ball and then puts another back down again.]
I didn't believe you were.
[A soft exhalation.]
There's a reason I called you.
no subject
[ She lifts her eyebrow. ]
Anyway, nearly done. We'll probably have to wrap them again, unless you wanna try bandaids.

[ And she also has a roll of bandages, which is produced next after she's finished tending to the scratches. ]
Did you cut your ear here?
no subject
[He hums in his throat, then exhales a huff of air.]
Though that's not all that you're good for, being used. You're also good to talk to.
[Which is a rare compliment coming from Onni Hotakainen.]
No, it was cut back at home, by some children. They were trying to play hairdresser with me, but got my ear instead of my hair.

[ It's very sweet though. ]
... That's brave, though. Letting kids with scissors near you?

What's a luonto, though?
no subject
[A sigh. He's had a lot of experience with kids and raising or babysitting them.]
Ah, the luonto is part of the soul.
no subject
[ Sir??? ]
no subject
[A little shrug.]
You can do that in the dream realm, when you're asleep. You take the form of your luonto and can move around in that form.

Mine is an owl.

[ She squints at him for a minute, as though trying to imagine it. ]
... Yeah, actually, that makes sense. I could see it.
no subject
I should hope so. It's what it is.
