Jude | Week 1: Thursday Morning

[ Madoka is walking around kind of... Cautiously? With her hands behind her back, peering around like she's looking for something. She looks conspicuous, in the way that people tend to when they're trying to look inconspicuous.

Apparently the 'something' she was looking for was Jude, because she brightens a bit when she spots him and makes a beeline straight for him. ]

Oh...! Can I talk to you?

Thank goodness...

[ that's better than having no medical supplies. Madoka frowns at that last bit, though, because. ]

It's not your fault. I just appreciate you helping me at all.

I said I would and I'm not going to say things I won't do.

[ assuming that they're walking this entire time towards the kitchen— ]

Now let's get that washed and wrapped up until I can get something better for it.

[ Sounds right.

Madoka heads to a sink to run it under water and wash it out, trying not to flinch and keeping quiet until: ]

... I wonder who did it.

[ Jude wanders around the kitchen to look for a clean small towel of sorts that he rips into thinner strips. It isn't the most ideal bandage but it'll work for what he needs of them. He'll return to Madoka's side, with them draped over his forearm. ]

Can you think of anyone who might have been able to do this?

No... I'm sure that it has to do with a power from the gods, but... I don't know who anyone is aligned with.

[ Jude grimaces at that. He doesn't like that idea and will reach out take a hold of Madoka's hand once it's been washed clean to gently pat it dry. ]

I don't either. No one here is exactly being forthcoming with who they're presenting.

[ Himself included. ]

It's understandable...

This makes it feel like it really is dangerous, so I get why they wouldn't want to tell.

[ He finishes wrapping up her hand and it's bandaged up nice and tightly! It'll look somewhat like a finger-less glove and won't be too tight that she can't or won't be able to move her hand. ]

Hopefully it won't get much more dangerous than this.

But if they do, I will do what I can to make sure you're okay. So, please, come to me again if anything else happens.

[ Madoka flexes her hand a bit to test it, then gives him a small bow of gratitude. ]

I think it will, but - thank you. For the thought. I'll try not to bother you too much.

N, no it's fine. It's not a bother.

[ he'll wave his hands in front of himself for a moment. ]

I'll come to you too if I need anything; that's fair, right? We'll get through this easier if we're together.

[ Who cares if it's a competition?? ]

[ competition shmompetition ]

Yes, of course. I don't know how I can help, but I'll always do my best.

Your best is all anyone can ask of you.

[ no one can fault her for that, right?? Jude certainly won't. ]

I'm going to go look for that plant right now unless there's something else that's the matter.
