[ She is just chilling in the manor. Working on re-bandaging her shoulder. Gotta make sure they don't get wet after getting clean.

Normal things. ]

[ …

A cat's paw touches Mafuyu's head. Hi. In lieu of holding up Mafuyu like Simba he's holding up one of the manor cats (kind of) like Simba. ]

That's a hard angle to bandage yourself.

Hard, but not impossible. Hello, Elysium.

[ and Cat. ]

You aren't wrong. But even if you do manage to, it usually ends up a pretty subpar job.

[ and cat. He sets the cat next to Mafuyu before holding his hand out. ]

Let me help.

[ The cat seems to agree with this, pawing her lap before trying to sit on her lap. Stay! ]

[ Oh. Well, it can sit. She hands him the bandages, after a pause. ]

You don't have to.

No one has to do anything, just like I don't expect you to return the favour. If it helps, it feeds my ego being able to do this for people. Being useful, yeah?

[ Sorry, he's just going to undo her work just so he's sure he can do a good job with it. ]

You enjoy feeling useful?

[ It's... fine, she'll allow it. It could use work when she's going through it. ]

Uh huh. Nothing quite like the feeling of being productive!

[ He hums as he works… ]

Was there any other spot we should change while we're at it?

No, it's all right. It's mostly bruises.

[ And they'll fade on their own. ]

Oh! I got something for that, too. Gimme a sec.

[ finishes up

Immediately starts rifling through his bag to pull out a little jar, holding it out to her. ]

Ointment from back home, so I can vouch for its efficacy. It'll reduce the swelling and discolouration in no time.

[ She blinks. ]

Are you sure you want to use it? They're not going to be too much of a problem.

[ He stares back menacingly without the menacingly part. ]

I got it so it could be used. I don't get into altercations often, but the people around me sure do.
