Happy Birthday Foxy
 In the ungodly hours of the morning, when even most vigilantes would be calling it a night, a silent alarm goes off. Except for once instead of any tell-tale signs of robbery there's a trail of blood and discarded clothing. First the cape. Then gloves. Crushed utility belt. And finally the tunic that gives it all away.

 
He's a crumpled figure on the floor,  surrounded by bits of a first aid kit that he's managed to knock off the shelf before collapsing, and propped up against the wall in what is both the most convenient and inconvenient position. It's the only way he can see the stab wound, one of many, just below his ribs in order to stitch it. But it's also the position he's bleeding out the fastest in.
 
The blood loss, blurry vision and shaky hands are making this worse, and he's completely oblivious to his surroundings at the moment.

Not that it mattered much at this point.

For a moment her emotions are very much on display. She looks a little paler and more tired than she wants to be right now. She just gives him a serious look.

"Yes." He had scared her. She won't tell him that.

Now that he's a less delirious state than he had been the previous night, he can see how much this has affected her.

"...Sorry." He figures that she deserves an apology. Bleeding and crashing people's safehouses and causing that sort of chaos was not exactly the best thing to do.

"You don't need to say that."

She does quirk a dry smile.

"Terrible way to spend one's birthday, though. I'm told normally people have cake."

There's some muttered swearing as he groans and puts his head against his knees while still sitting on the floor. He'd planned to drop by and wish her a happy birthday and tell her he had something planned for tomorrow but....he'd run into a gang fight and one thing had led to another and well...in all the chaos it had slipped his mind.

And now she carefully sinks beside him to stroke his back gently. He sounds.... upset to her.

"It's okay. I'm glad you're safe right now. That's what matters. And if you really need to go.... I can figure something out. So you won't pull the stitches." She tilts her head.

"You can't put that uniform back on. It will do more harm than good at the moment."

He is upset, more at his own failures than anything else though.

"No it's..." He shuts his eyes tight, this time mostly out of frustration and not pain. How could he explain this? Maybe there was no point.

"I need the uniform to go back," he sighs, not seeing why he needed to explain that.

"How much can we safely get on you I wonder," she mutters giving him a thoughtful look.

"And I wonder if we can buy you a few more hours rest. You're not okay for moving right now."

He needs so much rest right now. She's still worried about his condition.

"What are you talking about?" He gives her an odd look, still not quite himself yet. At least not enough to connect dots well yet.

"I can move, it's fine," he says while starting to slowly get up.

"Robin. You're not wearing pants," she points out.

"And no you can't," she snaps starting to get upset with him. Stop trying to open wounds!

So he wasn't. Wow, he hadn't even noticed that. "You undressed me?" He looks rather amused now.

Despite that, he's still trying to shakily stand up, using a nearby chair to support him.

"Only half way. You had done the rest," she says while finding that it's easy to blush.

"And I had to. In case you haven't noticed but you have a deep cut in your leg." Now she's upset. He reminded her he almost DIED.

Still looking amused despite that. He's finally on his feet, but putting all his weight onto his right leg and leaning against the chair.

"Yeah, happens when a guy sticks a knife in it," he shrugs while looking down at the bandages. This wasn't the first time he'd been badly injured or almost died, it was hard to get fazed by it. He was more annoyed that he'd let it happen at all.

He should be lucky that in her anger she still only thumps her fist weakly against a part of him that's not injured.

"That isn't funny," she snaps. "You almost died."

And now she stomps out of range and the room because she's really upset. She refuses to deal with him right now.

He blinks at her as she leaves. Funny? He was just pointing out the obvious, it wasn't like he hadn't been stabbed before. Granted, not that many times at once or so badly but...

Realizing he should follow her, he hops and hobbles his way slowly out of the room after her. He's still feeling awfully lightheaded and this was all a little too much. Where was his uniform anyway?

She's sulking in the living room. She probably shouldn't be but his careless disregard for his safety really upset her.

She could handle him being Robin. She had no say if he wanted to fight crime besides she knew he was good at it. But she was still very upset at the moment and didn't feel like trying to change her mind.

It takes him time but he finally manages to drag himself somehow to the living room, wincing as he goes. Whatever she gave him for pain was wearing off.

He has to give up at one point, and settles for leaning on a table not far from the couch. Facing her, he looks thoughtfully at her, despite looking exhausted he can tell he hit a nerve.

"You should be resting," she mumbles.

She still needs to rest to. Before he got hurt she was already burning the candle at both ends. She had been planning on resting.

Then he got hurt and how could she think about rest? And he was being stupid.

Why did he have to be stupid?

He sighs rubs his head, trying to figure out what was going on. She was more affected than he'd expected. At least he could try and comfort her.

"You should too. But Sarah...I'm okay. Really. Thanks to you of course, but...I wasn't going to die. Don't..." He wants to say don't worry but that might not go over well. If only he could find a way to make her look less sullen.

"I was. But then someone got out of bed," she points out sourly.

"You didn't see all of the blood. You left hand prints on my wall and I had to throw a rug out," she snarls. "And you won't even try to take care of yourself....you thick headed boob."

Oh she's feeling rather kind. She could have dragged him back to her bed.

And opened stitches in the process.

"I'll get you a new one," he offers automatically while going over to collapse into a nearby chair.

"Sarah...it's Gotham. These things happen. Okay, not usually as badly but still. I...appreciate you helping me out." He looks away at the last part, a little embarrassed he even needed the help. He should've been better.

Which she will have to fix, thanks so much.

"It was ugly anyways."

Now she continues to look annoyed. "That's not the point. You scared me. I was worried."

"I didn't mean to." Why was he apologizing so much to her? And why did he feel like he needed to?

[info]outfoxing

Because she's scary? No. She's really not scary. Just upset that he was hurt.

Which she hates that she's reacting like this. "At least you're sitting down.... do you need something for the pain?"

He really doesn't like her upset at him.

He leans back and looks at the ceiling. "Maybe. I can live with it though." No reason to bother her more, and he thinks he should've handled the knife fight situation better. Being outnumbered was no excuse, it happened all the time.

"Which means I should probably get something for you."

Stubborn Bats.
