[ He probably shouldn't be at his shop right now, but he is- trying to fix a display case that had been busted for several weeks. The glass had been carefully removed, and he's now in the process of hammering it together. So far, so good. The physicality of the work takes his mind away from what it wants to rest on. He can't rely on Anthony all the time, after all.

He drops the hammer. Instinctively, he makes a motion with his hand instead of trying to shift out of the way- his lack of telekinesis means the hammer hits his foot. He winces, but says nothing, just frowns a little more as he reaches down to pick up the tool. He sets it on the nearby workbench, deciding to move on.

Not long after and he's measuring out a long piece of rubber to fit on the bottom of the cabinet. He walks to the back desk and pulls out a small utility knife. He has a hard time cutting the strip with it, however, and has to really dig in. This results in pulling too far and too fast- and swiping a long cut into his left hand, in between his thumb and his index finger. Now he curses, low and indistinct to the recording.

He sets the knife down and holds his hand up in front of his face. He watches with an odd, thoughtful expression as the blood begins to drip down his arm. ]


Guess it's time to stop.

[ooc: As per usual, I owe you an email. I promise I will shoot you one as soon as I get back from work tonight. ;_;]

I was trying to manage something on my own. [his tone's a bit pouty, but certainly not as bad as it could be]

I'll be okay. I should...wrap this up.

You're getting better at asking the million dollar questions.

The short answer is that I'm not going to keep injuring myself on this project right now.

Fortunately I'm patient enough to wait for the payout.

I never really took you as one for masochism anyway. What's the project?

A few of the display cases were damaged when Elle came after me a month ago. I'm not very experienced at building them, so I thought I'd try my hand at repair. I suppose my timing could've been better.

Yeah... You really should...

I don't have to come over, if you don't want me to, but... I could?

No, not quite. Surprising, I know. But we eventually worked it out to a truce, so we won't be causing collateral damage around the City, at least.

I don't want to interrupt you if you're working. I've been doing enough of that. But I- I'll see you when you have a break? My hand should be fine. It wasn't a deep enough cut for stitches.

I'm not? [you can probably hear the smile in his voice] I still haven't convinced you otherwise, huh?

All right, then. Maybe we can go get ice cream or something.

If you had the option to get rid of your ability permanently, would you consider it?

I might've already made the decision and left the apartment.

I'll check that hand and yeah, we can go get something to eat. Or something.

Didn't even wait? Somehow I'm not surprised.

I'll see you soon, then. Thanks, Anthony.

No need to thank me, you are paying for the food.

[He's cleaned up pretty well, although his hand is currently wrapped in a crushed velvet strip because he has no idea where his first aid kit might be. There's at least a couple of tissues wrapped in between, but- well, let's just say he's glad Anthony decided to make his way over.

He sits on a stool near the back, attempting not to mess with anything new while he waits. It wouldn't do to have a brand new injury to show Anthony when he got here, now would it?]

Very. And I don't even have a curse day to blame it on, this time.
