"Jeez…" He mutters, shaking his head. "I'm glad you're okay." He says, looking up at her.

"Trust me, so am I. You don't think my hand will need stitches? That cut was pretty deep."

"No… it's not deep to the point of stitches… just time." he says, humming thoughtfully. He carefully wraps her hand after he cleaned it. "Medical studies. Glad I take em." He chuckles.

"I owe you, you know." Marlene looks over at him.

"Not really. We help each other." he smiles at her, chuckling a little bit.

"No, seriously. Without you I'd probably be in the hospital…and I don't like them too much." Marlene shudders, thinking of the grim reaper.

He nods, chuckling a little. "No problemo. I'm working on dessert if you're interested." He stands and walks back to make the cookies, washing his hands.

"Depends. What is it?" Marlene sinks back into the couch, hitting her shoulder blade on something. She hisses from the pain.

"You okay?" he asks. "Ah. I'm making snickerdoodles and chocolate chip." He says happily.

"Shoulderblade. I'll take chocolate chip. I'm so sorry I went out, I worried you too much, didn't I?" Marlene apologized profusely.

"I was worried, to say the least…" he says, tasting a bit of the batter. "Vanilla…" he mutters. "I had to admit you were gone for quite a long time."

"You don't think I just let the people push me down?" Marlene asks. "There was quite a fight first. Drunkard fights can last a while. I'm so sorry I worried you." She apologizes again.

He chuckles softly, "It's okay." He hums softly, "You were gone long enough that I dropped by the store, and returned when you got back. Unfortunately, they were out of stock of what I needed." He says, shrugging lightly.

"The store? I must have been gone longer than I thought." Marlene caressed her bandaged hand.

"Yeah." He sighs softly, placing the cookies in the oven. "What icecream do you want?" he asks, looking up.

"We have ice cream? Do we have coffee bean? If we don't, then I like mint chip. This is a seriously amazing dessert, you know." Marlene commented, trying to shift to a position that didn't put her shoulder blade in agony every time she moved her back.

"I have coffee bean." He chuckles. "I have so many flavors of ice cream it's not even funny." He chuckles, grabbing the coffee bean and the tin roof sundae. "Why don't you pick a movie to watch?" He asks smiling a little.

"Ummm…how many do you have? I happen to like horror, but I don't think that's something you would have." She suggests, wincing. Her shoulder blade was killing her. She didn't want to go to the hospital, but she wouldn't be able to go to classes tomorrow if she didn't do something - much less fight the reaper.

"Horror is actually my favorite." he says chuckling. "Here, use this." He hands her an ice pack. "Just tell me if you need anything." Antoine hums as he grabs the ice cream, chuckling a little to himself.

Marlene puts the ice cream behind her back. "Thanks. Do you have Scream 4? I watched everything up until then. It's turning out to be pretty good." The ice pack kept it from hurting, but it didn't fix what was probably a fracture. She couldn't wear an ice pack everywhere she went.

"I do. I have the entire series, actually." He chuckles. He looks at her. "Shouldn't we get your shoulder checked out?" He asks gently.

"I don't know. I don't want to go to a hospital, but I've already checked it for a bruise but don't see anything like it, so it's probably a fracture." She shudders. "I really don't want to go to the hospital." Hospitals were one of the grim reaper's favorite places - and so many things could go wrong.

He nods and smiles, "I could patch it up… it's just gonna hurt a lot." Antoine offers. "I don't have pain meds or a way to knock you out."

Marlene sighs. "I used to volunteer at a Civil War history park. They'd use whiskey under the nose to knock the patient out. Got any alcohol?" She was desperate to do anything but the hospital.

"I do, actually. Emergency stash." He chuckles, grabbing the liquid. "Are you sure you want me to knock you out though?"
