( sometime post exploding house )

eggsy.

analgesics :)

[madeover]

roxy are you high

[halosuit]

pft.

Not at all.

( but she did just kinda spell out pft )

[madeover]

guess it's better than being in pain tho

[halosuit]

merlin says i can't do crunches for a month. It's going to be so boring.

[madeover]

this is why you need a hobby

[halosuit]

like knitting?

( that ain't gonna fly with her, way too boring. but here's a thought — )

knitting needles would undoubtedly make an Excellent close range weapon in dire straights.

[madeover]

there you go

though i was thinking more like video games

[halosuit]

stealing 2dimensional cars and killing poorly animated prostitutes doesn't sound like fun

[madeover]

you realize there are games besides grand theft auto right

[You are disappointing him, Roxy.]

[halosuit]

which do you play, Eggsy?

[madeover]

i play loads of different ones, i can't just list them all here

you should come over sometime and i'll show you

[halosuit]

( it's been 30 hours since she was cleared to go home after a close brush with death. but there's still a puncture wound just above her hip and really, really heavy duty painkillers in her system. )

I don't want to drive.

( or but on real clothes )

you could come over here. I have a flatscreen.

[madeover]

i didn't mean now

you're higher than a kite

[While it might be fucking hilarious to see that in person (and he could just pop on over), Eggsy figures he should do the responsible thing and let her get her rest.

The bone-crushing relief of Roxy having survived still hasn't worn off.]

[halosuit]

Yesh I am.

( quite high. quite alive. )

How are you feeling, eggsy?

[madeover]

fine. not so bad as you anyway

stitches seem to be behaving so far

[halosuit]

Make sure you keep them clean, yeah?

[madeover]

doing my best. it's a bit awkward but i'm managing.

[halosuit]

If either of us get an infection we'll be out of the field for twice as long.

[madeover]

please save the lecture, i'll be fine. i'm cleaning it! even though it hurts like a mother.

[halosuit]

It wasn't a lecture, just a reminder.

( and because she remembers everything, forget that traumatic amnesia the doctors were throwing about. )

You stopped me from bleeding out on that lawn, let me worry about you getting sick, alright?

[madeover]

[Eggsy wishes that Roxy didn't remember it. It had been a traumatizing experience for both of them and it would probably be easier on her if she'd just blacked out and woken up in a hospital bed -- in a lot of pain but without that memory of thinking she was absolutely going to die.]

fine fine

i know i've said this a hundred times already but i am so glad you're alive

[halosuit]

You've no one to thank for that but yourself.

( and really, speaking of thanks — )

Thank you, Eggsy. For ( saving my life ) not wanting to relay those messages to my family.

[madeover]

have you told them yourself yet?

[Because it can be too easy to go back on those things, once the immediate danger has passed. But Eggsy thinks that Roxy would do good to say all that to them.]

[halosuit]

No. I would prefer not to have that conversation when I still look like death.
