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.

"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?

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.

He closes his eyes a bit to block out the pain. "I didn't say that."

Stubborn indeed.

He was still trying to figure out how he was going to get home.

"You're in pain," she points out.

"It's not doing you any good." She fetches him a bottle of something strong and a few other odds and ends.

"You should probably eat too. Want some soup?"

He reluctantly accepts, although he is grateful, and takes what she gives him. If he was going to be able to convince her he needed to get back then he'd need what he could get.

"I don't think I can eat." He really doesn't feel well enough to, sitting up by itself was enough pain. He didn't want to lose any food in front of her either.

"By the way, where's my uniform?"

She gives him a glance. She's still worried.

"All right."

That has her pause slightly. "The bathroom. I rinsed it off. Too much blood."

"The tunic will need to be replaced entirely anyway," he shrugs. Although the red certainly hid bloodstains well. It's one of those uniforms where it's hard to tell if one was injured in.

"Yeah but I'm sure you wouldn't want to feel itchy if you had to wear it for some reason," she points out with a shrug of her own.

"Right. I need to get it back on to go back," he says looking over at her, gauging her reaction.

"I'll kick your ass if you tear the stitches again," she says after a moment.

"I still need to check them again."

Now she just blushes. "I'm trying not to stare."
