Isobel relaxed her grip on Alice, peering worriedly into the other girl’s eyes. “Better now? Just a bit?”

Alice laughed shakily. "Just a bit." She avoided Isobel's gaze. "I'm sorry," she repeated.

“What? Why are you sorry?” Isobel relaxed into a cross-legged position on the ground, continuing to scrutinize Alice. “I’m the one who’s sorry.”

Alice shrugged a shoulder. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. I'm the one who broke in." She tried to move to face Isobel but was stopped by a pain in her rib.

Isobel moved to stop her from shifting too much. “Yes, you did, and I have no idea why on earth you did that, but right now you’re hurt. Which makes you first priority.” Slowly, so as not to startle her, she cleared her throat. “If you don’t want me to take you to the hospital, how do I help you?”

Alice clenched and unclenched her fists, gradually regaining control of her senses. "I don't need help."

“Alice. You have two untreated injuries and just had what I’m pretty sure was a hallucination. Don’t try that with me. If you’re not going to go to the hospital, you need to do something to improve her condition.” Isobel knew she should have just called 911 right there and then. But something stopped her. The fear in Alice’s eyes. She couldn’t do that to her.

"Well I'm not moving so I don't know what we're going to do," Alice declared, looking over at Isobel..

Isobel set her jaw. "I have bandages if you have any cuts. I have ice and arnica gel for sore spots. I've got an old cast that might fit your foot."

Alice raised an eyebrow. "I've never had more than one bandaid." She pulled herself to her feet, testing her foot.

Isobel jumped up immediately. “No, no, no. You are in my house. You are going to sit on my couch and let me take care of you. If you don’t like that you shouldn’t have crawled in through the window.”

Alice blinked, then laughed. "Fair point." She gingerly walked to the couch and sat down. "Do what you have to do."

Isobel gave a sigh of relief, doing a methodical sweep of her house before returning to Alice with her arms full of medical supplies. “Where do you have cuts?”

Alice thought about it. "Probably stomach and legs most of all." She peeled off her top and set it beside her.

Isobel didn’t miss a beat, only began to carefully clean and bandage each cut, careful not to let her hands shake. “Did you do these to yourself?”

(she has a c-section scar)

Alice shook her head vehemently. "No. It never went that way for me."

(Kk)

“Good,” Isobel replied, pushing away all the memories that arose. She finished bandaging up Alice’s stomach— but a long scar caught her eye. Was that— was that what she thought it was? But she knew both staring and questions would only upset Alice, so she quickly moved on to bandaging her arms.

Alice caught Isobel's eyes lingering at the bottoml of her stomach. She inhaled sharply, willing Isobel to move on… she did. She took Alice's arm and started treating it. Filled with relief, Alice's shoulders sagged and she relaxed into Isobel's grip.

Alice’s obvious relief didn’t escape Isobel’s notice, but she said nothing on the subject. “Right, I’m done bandaging, I’m going to help you put this cast on, okay? Tell me if it hurts.”

Alice’s obvious relief didn’t escape Isobel’s notice, but she said nothing on the subject. “Right, I’m done bandaging, I’m going to help you put this cast on, okay? Tell me if it hurts.”

Alice nodded. She'd never worn a cast for her many broken bones, and never thought she would. It was a drastic change to be taken care of, and though she wasn't used to it, she liked it. She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled down at Isobel. "Thank you."

Isobel shrugged, gingerly fitting the old cast onto Alice’s foot. “It’s not a spectacular feat. Just fixing you up a bit. Is this too tight?”

Alice wiggled her foot. "I think it's good." She attempted to stand up.

Isobel rushed to support her, though she knew she wouldn’t need it. “Be careful. Okay?”

Alice snorted. "I'll be careful." She stood up and easily straightened. She walked around the room with a slightly heavier limp than usual but still relatively easily. "All good." She gave Isobel a toothy grin.
