Sure, the painkillers would help with most of the issues, but the problem of having an open wound on his head still proved unfortunate. Alida had gone on a whirlwind of demands, stating that Izu needed to see a doctor. “Izu go to doctor—doctor will say if Izu fine or not!” she reasoned desperately. “Izu never listen to Alida. Alida getting mad…Alida not like being mad! Alida not like Izu hurt! Alida not like Izu being stupid!” Alida stated, clearly becoming more emotional by the second. The accusations brought a pang of guilt to the young man that resonated at Alida from their unique connection. Likewise, he could tell that the girl was genuinely worried about him, even if it was masked by slight panic. In an effort to calm the girl down, Izu leaned down and pressed his lips to her own. "I appreciate your concern Alida, but it would be a waste of money to go to the hospital for this. They wouldn't do anything that we can do here. For now, just help me clean up and take care of it. Okay?" Izu stated with a calming smile.<br/><br/>Once the girl finally agreed, the two of them set out to take care of his injury first. He moved his hair away from the injury as best as he could, then stuck his head under the faucet to clear away the blood, revealing the small gash that was the cause of all this panic. "See? Not so bad now that you can actually see it. Let's just apply some pressure with a rag, that should slow the bleeding down or possibly even stop it completely." Izu reassured after he pulled his head out from under the stream of water. When everything was all finished and the panic died down, Izu turned his attention to Alida and smiled a bit. "I've forgotten what we even came in here for. Probably a side effect from some horrible unseen brain damage." He joked, though wasn't sure if Alida would get it or not.
