I thought we were aiming for healthier coping methods, but I do have a bottle of some South American crap in my room.

[stupidcupid]

We were? And who the hell suggested tea?

[biggerstick]

Well, I was going to offer coffee, but then I thought that wouldn't help at all— I'm not sure if I'm proud or disappointed that alcohol wasn't my first thought.

[stupidcupid]

You're the last person we'd give caffeine to, Stark.

[doing his own bandaging, badly, because ambidextrous or not, one hand doesn't make it easier]

[biggerstick]

I keep a coffee maker in my workshop.

[sits beside him]

Let me help you with that.

[stupidcupid]

[there's a moment where he doesn't know to stay or flee, before he nods]

Knock yourself out.

[biggerstick]

Sprained or broken?

[he's got enough experience with patching himself up that he's not bad at this]

[stupidcupid]

Broken.

[biggerstick]

If you're not planning to see a healthcare professional I can get you a wrist brace.

[stupidcupid]

I won't say no to one.

[biggerstick]

[finishes wrapping his wrist]

I'll go find it in a minute. What happened?

[stupidcupid]

I broke my wrist trying to get away from Loki 1.0.

[biggerstick]

Going by the 1.0 part, I assume I won't get to shoot the updated version in the face.

[stupidcupid]

It would go as well as a house on fire.

Anyway it wasn't him.

[biggerstick]

Camp?

[stupidcupid]

That's my guess.

[biggerstick]

I heard about it. I'm doing my best to stay indoors.

[stupidcupid]

I don't normally get cornered on the roof.

[biggerstick]

It wasn't the same last year?

[stupidcupid]

I'm not sure. There are creatures that appear on Halloween called Boggarts. Manifestations of people's fears, but the reports are varied.

We don't know where they come from or how they find us.

[biggerstick]

... I'm guessing the explanation for everything is "camp is a dick."

[stupidcupid]

No, that's the reason.

[biggerstick]

I don't feel like facing creepy fantasy book monsters.

[stupidcupid]

Oh, sure, like I enjoy it.

[biggerstick]

Do you think I'll get a Loki too if I wish really hard?
