"Then I guess I'll just have to carry you then."
When she stuck her tongue out at him, he smiled and caught it in his mouth, catching her in a kiss and moving his own tongue around it. After a while he broke the kiss and smiled at her, but he also jumped when Faolan sneezed and came down right when Aydens head went up into his chin. A % " was heard as his teeth went together and he groaned, grabbing his chin with both hands.

She was about to apologize for head butting his chin when she suddenly laughed.
“Ha! Try carrying me with an injured chin. My brain solves yet another problem.”
Ayden stuck her tongue out at him again, but this time she quickly retracted it to keep him from dragging her into another kiss. After all, her tongue wasn’t bait and he wasn’t a fish, as much as he would have liked to see it that way.
She gently pulled herself away from him and yawned before scooting up the wall and onto her feet. It was all she could do to not wince, but they weren’t nearly as bad as before.

He rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes at her, reaching out to try and catch her tongue between his thumb and forefinger, but wasn't fast enough. He stood up, giving Faolan a dirty look to which the wolf whimpered softly. He looked to Ayden when she winced and smiled, gently moving his arms behind her and picking her up.
"No need to try, it's not my chin I'm carrying you with."
He gave her a wink before walking down the hall to the infirmary, Faolan in tow. He walked into the room and set her down on the bed. He then walked over to the cabinet and began fishing through them to look for the gauze and bandages.

She was about to object to being carried, but she exhaled a sigh, deciding that there was no point in arguing with him. Ayden’s head rolled back and hung over his arm, making her view of the walls upside down. Faolan followed zealously and licked her forehead once he got the chance and she scrunched her nose at him.
Ayden sat up on the bed and twisted her legs around to hang off the edge and quietly touch her tender feet to the ground and beginning to sneak away. However, Faolan just had to bark and blow her cover. She glared at the wolf
“Since when are you always on his side?”
She snapped at her pet, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring down at him.

"Probably since you disappeared. He knows when you need help to."
He spoke, still shuffling through the cabinet. He had a feeling she was trying to sneak away, and it was confirmed when Faolan barked. He stood up, placing the gauze and bandages on the table next to the bed, then walked over, picked Ayden up again, then placed her on the bed. He smiled at her when he spoke next.
"Now are we going to do this the easy way, or am I going to have to strap you in?" he said the last part with a wink.

She rolled her eyes when he commented on strapping her down.
"Actually, the easy way would be to make you think you're being attacked by zombies so that I can get away, but you should consider yourself lucky that I'm not that cruel. Either way, when you find it revolting can you keep it to yourself to the best of your ability?"
she knew this was impossible. She saw every thought going through his head and it was beginning to drive her crazy, but she was quick to counter it.

"I promise, no bad thoughts or talk."
He smiled, greatful that she wasn't going to make him believe he would be attacked by zombies or something of that nature. It would've been bad for her and Faolan because he'd take his stone form and start swinging. To make scanning his mind a bit more fun and less crazy for her, he decided to let memories of the two of them. From the time they first met, to the last time they saw each other, and even tossed a few of his own fond memories in to help.
"Well, let's get to work then."
He wasn't a doctor, that's a given, but he at least learned from Hank and Hazel how to dress wounds, which was helpful in these days since any mutant could be attacked anywhere. They weren't as bad as they looked actually, the wounds were healing nicely, a little infected but that was easily cured by some paroxide.

Her cherry colored lips pulled up into a playful smile.
“Well, you can have some dirty thoughts and talk. I don’t mind. Or at least I wouldn’t if getting grabbed didn’t hurt so much. You can think away though.”
Ayden knew his method in a second, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t allowed to take advantage of it, shutting her eyes and allowing herself to be swept away in his train of thought, which seemed to be centered around her. Eventually, Ayden slipped into a bit of a thought coma, her senses dulled by what her mind was seeing. Her mind even more fragile than her body, it took much less time to tire of chasing thoughts and in little time, she was out like a light, her mind silent for once. All she could feel was David’s gently fingers at work on her bandages.

"I'll talk as much as you want me to."
He smiled, moving up to kiss her gently when her playful smile shown. He was glad that she was at least relax and smile around him now. When she closed her eyes and seemed to be fading in and out, he gently laid her down on the bed to help her relax, then continued working on the bandages. It didn't take long until a set of clean bandages were now wrapped around her wounds and the dirtied ones in the garbage. He leaned over and kissed her forehead, moving to a chair nearby and letting her enjoy his thoughts. He patted his leg towards Faolan, and the young put trotted over to him, placing his head on David's lap and looking up at him. David in turn petting the young cub.

When Ayden awoke, she was surprised to find that it was to silence. Perhaps her nap had helped speed up the process of building her barriers…for now. Her vibrant blue eyes stare above her at the lights and she remained that way until she finally forced herself to sit up.
Her eyes instantly found Faolan, who had climb up on the foot of the bed she was on and was sprawled out on his back, sound asleep as a human would be. She smirked and nudged him with her toe, but her pet didn’t move. After this, she yawned and began to look around the room for David, but then she stopped her search, certain that he had already left her. After all, he must have had better things to do than wait for her to wake up.
She slid off the bed and gently landed on her feet, which made her wince with the new bandages on. For some reason, everything else always felt fine with the exception of when pressure was put on it, but her feet were always terrible after being re bandaged. She held onto the side of the bed and began to slowly walk forward, knowing that if she could make it to the wall the rest of the voyage to her room wouldn’t be so bad. However, one of her feet gave way from under her and she collapsed onto the ground chest first.

Two hands were there in an instant, catching her from falling. He didn't even realise she was awake until he had walked back into the room. He had left after she had fallen asleep, going to get himself and her something to eat for when she woke up. He came back while she was still sleeping and put the food into the back room where Hazel and Hank usually go. When he came back, he saw Ayden getting up and trying to move. He didn't budge until she was falling over.
"Careful, one step at a time ok? Don't rush." He said with a smile, helping her up as he did.

Ayden was about to attempt standing on her own when she felt a pair of familiar hands assisting her back onto her feet. She winced once the weight was back on them and tried not to lean on David, but no matter how hard she tried, she still had to anyway. Faolan, who was still on the bed, was now awake and barking at her, clearly unhappy with her course of action. She shook her head and mentally told the wolf to shut up, which he did.
“Why are you so nice to me?”
She mumbled into David’s chest as she leaned into it, still very unhappy with the idea that she couldn’t even stand up on her own two feet, quite literally at that. It wasn’t very satisfying to constantly need a human crutch. She almost fell again, but caught herself on David before she could crumble to the ground again, wrapping her arms around him and turning her dependency to him into an embrace.

"Because I'm a sucker for troubled ladies," he smiled at her, "and I love you."
He did his best to help her stand, giving Faolan a glare as the pup began to bark. Ayden must've used her mental powers to get him to stop, because he laid there giving a small whimper. David sighed as she struggled to stand on her own, leaning into him. He felt her arms around him and figured she was using that as an excuse to not seem like she was leaning against him. He didn't mind, and was more then happy to put his own arms around her.
"You know, when you're all healed up, I'll have to test how fragile your body is," he gave her a playful smile, "Just to see if it can stand up to certain things, that's all."

Her vibrant eyes leered up at him when he called her troubled, dispite the fact that his statement was pretty near accurate. She just didn’t like being reminded of it. Her mind picked up his thoughts and she moaned into his chest, her face hidden by her mane of scarlet locks.
“Am I really that transparent?” she grumbled, feeling slightly better when she felt his arms return the embrace, but still she felt a bit bad.
Ayden shook her head at this before taking her head from his chest to look him in the eye. “You know, only parts of my body are fragile. I’m not made of glass. Well….my feet might be, for now.”

"Yeah, but if you were the only troubled one then you'd be the odd person out. Everybody's troubled these days."
He leaned in and kissed her when she leered up at him, holding her close as he did. He helped her up, but also made it look like he was holding her. When she said that she wasn't fragile, he couldn't help but see the open opportunity there.
"Well, if you're up for it, we can go see if you're able to withstand pressure." he said with a wink.
