The Walking Wounded (open)
There weren't many places on Dex's body that didn't hurt. The fight had been a long and brutal one, but in the end Dex had won and had two thousand dollars for his efforts. He had taken a beating in the process and he was sure that he had some broken ribs and some broken fingers, but they were injuries he was quite familiar with. The gash on his head had stopped bleeding by the time he returned home, but the water from the shower had reopened it a bit. Thankfully Dex had discovered that super glue would seal a wound.

The heat of the shower had helped take some of the pain away for a little bit, but it returned not long after he stepped out. Bruises were already starting to form all over his body, but like everything else they would go away with time. He was used to various parts of his body being bruised and beat up. He wrapped a towel around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom and headed for his room. All he wanted to do was lay down on his bed and not move for a day or two.

"Okay." She nodded and left him to tape his ribs. She would have offered to help but she didn't want to argue with him again about his physical state of being. Instead she went to the bathroom and brushed her hair, the entire time carefully reminding herself not to make more of this than it actually was.

Dex went back into his room. It took him awhile to pull some pants on. He grabbed the tape and tried to tape up his ribs, but it wasn't working so well.

"Mo!" he called.

She hurried at his call.

"You okay?"

He had pants on! Improvement! Though, she was a little bit sad that he was wearing pants. But she kept that to herself.

"I need some help," he said. "Hard to tape up ribs."

He offered her the roll of tape. "If ya wouldn't mind."

"Not at all." She took the tap and moved close to help him out...and started turning purple again. "Which ribs are broken?"

"Dunno," he answered and held his arms out as best as he could. "Probably quite a few of them." Dex's sides had already started to turn black and blue.

"Damn, Dex..." She inspected his side and breathed in sharply at what she saw. "I'm going to see if I can feel where the breaking stops, okay? I'm going to try not to hurt you."

Her hands were warm if not trembling a little as she checked his side. When she finally found ribs that didn't feel broken, she started to tape and work her way back up.

"You shouldn't be going out for pizza with me tonight. You should be in the big chair in the living room with ice on your side and a beer in your hand."

There were a few grunts from him as she tried to find the broken ribs.

"I've had worse," he said. There were times when he had taken a beating that left him on the brink of death. "I'll be fine to go out."

"I really don't think you should use the horrors of your youth as a yardstick for whether or not you're badly hurt now. This is pretty bad, considering." She finished with the taping, then double checked her work.

"That should be good for now."

"It's just a few broken ribs," Dex said. He moved a little and it did feel better with his chest taped up.

Dex placed a hand on her shoulder. "Thanks. 'Preciate it."

"You're welcome." She stood there for a moment, maybe a moment too long, then moved away. "I'll let you finish up. I'll be in the living room."

Dex nodded and turned to find a button down shirt. Pulling one over his head right now was out of the question.

He washed his face and tried to get his hair under control. When he felt like he was ready, he grabbed half of the cash and shoved it in his pocket. The other half he grabbed and left it in her bedroom before heading out into the living room.

"You look nice," she offered and smiled. "Any particular pizza place we're going to?"

"Thanks." He thought about it for a moment. He honestly didn't know where to go. "You pick."

She figured this might happen so she already had a plan.

"Pagliai's is about three blocks from here and is where we usually get our delivery from." She stepped out of the front door and waited for him. "If it works for you, it works for me."

"That works," he said. They could have a nice night out before she discovered the money he put in her room.
