Hey. Ya f'gure out how ta work this thing yet? [He doubts the fellow has a lot of experience with this kind of technology.]

After several minutes of fumbling.

[droppinnoeaves]

Yes, but I don't see why folk don't just come and knock. All neighbors here, aren't we?

Re: After several minutes of fumbling.

[madaboutit]

Not sure a lotta us are that neighborly. [Sweeney hates it when random people show up at his door.] But if ya give me yer cabin number, I'll come knock.

[droppinnoeaves]

[There's another moment, because he has to check.]

One hundred and thirteen. The round door.

Spam

[Sounds easy enough. Probably even if he's drunk at the time. Not that he is now, but it's statistically likely at some point in the 30 days.]

Be there in ten.

Which he is, prompt as ever.

Huh. Round door. Definitely delivering on the description. The frame is a little low, but Sweeney supposes that makes some sense with the fellow's stature. He raps on the wood three times.

When Sam opens the door, he's standing on mossy stepping stones, a tidily kept herb patch behind him. He looks up at Sweeney, and looks dubiously at his own door. "I'm happy t'have you in, but I think we might as want to stay in the garden here."

Please let me know if you need any assistance cleaning or repairing up the dining hall, Gamgee-san.

[A little reluctantly]

Really could use it, if it's no trouble. Looks like an orc camp, and Mister Hands gone off to have his leg taken care of.

Re: after the incident

[lone_horse]

No trouble at all. I'll head there now.

Re: after the incident

[droppinnoeaves]

When he gets to the dining all, Sam is working on the floor. The burnmarks have to go, they can't stay there and be a reminder. He has a rough cloth and vinegar in hot water, and is diligently working at the black stain.

Kiryu shows up with a few scrub brushes and his tool box. He'll walk up to Samwise and, after a nod, roll up his sleeves and start in to scrubbing as well.

Sam works in silence a little longer, occasionally drawing the short, sturdy knife he carries on his belt to scrape up char.

"Can't let any a'those see the burns. That boy or Miss Maggie or the other miss."

Bang! Breach: For Hunter

[droppinnoeaves]

Sam slept two full days after Hilbert got him the good drugs. When he finally wakes, he's quiet and loggy, his face so lined he looks like he's aged a few years since the cave-in. But he's alert. And all too soon, he's fretting about missed hours. And what this treatment will cost.

The worrying is almost as bad as the wound. By the time anyone else is actually around, he's already trying to get himself out of bed, teetering around his room with a pair of crutches he really shouldn't have yet.

[badbutsad]

Harry should absolutely not be back already. If anything he should be back in Cybele, making his appeal to his uncle as to why he shouldn't be punished for disappearing for multiple days, but. There was still more to do, here.

Which is why he ends up at the mines early in the morning, to see what he can do to help; and why he finds Samwise struggling to get his crutches under him.

"Sam!" His own lingering exhaustion is immediately forgotten as he goes to try and help the miners sit back down. "You shouldn't be up yet!"

[droppinnoeaves]

Sam leans much more heavily on Harry than he'd like, but he makes a frustrated noise at being guided back to the edge of his bed.

"No, I've got to be walking," he protests, holding tightly to one of the crutches. "I can't work if I don't walk."

[badbutsad]

"You can't walk if you go to work," he protests right back, and he's going to keep a hand on Sam's shoulder to try and hold him in place. "If you go out like this, you're just gonna get hurt even worse."

[droppinnoeaves]

Harry has better than two feet of height on Sam, and only one of them is still on a lot of painkillers. It's not hard to keep him from getting back up, despite Sam's huff of frustration.

"I can't 'fford to be down for long. They'll give my spot away, I'll be back on the breakline."

[badbutsad]

"I can pay." The words come out too quickly, eagerly to the point of almost sounding desperate. He can't do anything useful, he was barely helpful during the actual cave-in Harry this is patently false and he was so shaken afterwards that he had nightmares all night, but money he can help with. "I-I can-- what do you need? I can see what we can get imported down here for you, to help you heal better."

[abrightboy]

I understand Kikimora hurt you. I’m sorry. I’m her Warden. My name is Bright. Did she tell you why she was making a mess of the place?

[droppinnoeaves]

She was upset, I don' need apologies. She's right furious at somethin', 'at much was clear. Told me as she didn' owe anyone her thoughts.

[abrightboy]

Yeah she doesn't generally feel safe sharing her feelings. Had you talked to her before? Before that incident, I mean?

[droppinnoeaves]

A time or two. I've kept an eye out - we've a few things in common, an' I'd like to see her safer. An' a sight happier.

[abrightboy]

I'd like that too. Do you work in the dining hall, Sam?

On the back of the clearly hand-drawn card, he has printed the date (Dec 28) and time, as well as the location - the Enclosure.
