[EVERYONE IS IN A GOOD MOOD UNTIL A FLEA BARGES IN WITH BROKEN LIMBS.
Anyway Mahito is just radiating good vibes despite said broken limb... There's also a notable edge of manic energy, but it's fine, don't worry about it.]
It broke! [Thanks, Mahito. He waves it for emphasis... It makes a nasty sound.]
I fell out of a tree and it snapped and I thought, hey, Law knows how to fix this stuff! So now I can learn, too!
[Did he forget they heal here? He might have! It's hard to tell!]
law does not think of the sound since he is likely to have heard worse but never from someone who was so cheerful about it. also there something about that story that didn't quite add up? it's fine. law does not perceive the idea of drugs being involved......yet. ]
Your bones will be able to reset themselves around fifteen minutes or so. If I teach you how, it'd be almost useless since the bones would likely be close to being reset.
Yeah! [WAIT!] No! Don't worry about it! Just teach me! It hasn't been that long, I think? I came to find you really fast, really fast.
[BOUNCING TO HIS TOES...
AND THEN HOLDING HIS ARM OUT. Nastily, the part after the snap just kinda... Flops. He still doesn't seem bothered at all, and he's busy looking at Law expectantly.]
he just.....hates how mahito is doing this like it isn't a big deal but at the same time law is also treating it as not a big deal. the flopping and bone snapping is probably the last concerning thing here. ]
The biggest thing would be to line up the broken bone...s. [ the plural being dropped in at the last minute because, well, of course it is. ] So that when it heals, it'll heal correctly.
Generally you do that with a basic split but for someone like that, you'd need to use something more sturdy to keep the bones in place.
[ he'll raise a hand in the air and sort of make gestures of "realigning" his forearm as an example?? drawing things is so much easier and of course law could touch it but at the same time.............. "flops". ]
[LOOK STOP sometimes you're just a creature!! Sometimes you are just... a creature. Mahito glances between Law and his floppy arm.]
Huh... [He will. Lift up the offending broken bit, and just try to realign it himself??] How can you tell when it's lined up right? Does it feel like a good fit? I've never had to worry about not knowing where my bones are going before!
[WHY DOES HE WORD IT LIKE THIS. WHY DOES HE MAKE THESE CHOICES.]
[ you ask me why but then i have to unfortunately remind you that law is also taking this in great strides and should find this more concerning than it is.... in that he'll just casually take a hold of the flea's broken arm and hold it out straight. one hand in the flea's hand and the other under where it was broken. ]
Typically you have it set down on a flat and even surface while sitting or laying down and not holding it up in the air, but I'll take what I can.
[ depending on how long ago the flea broke his arm, the bones may or may not slowly start to be healing. ]
Mahito watches patiently as Law begins to work, though yeah, he can feel the healing starting to take place already. SO, LIKE THE CLEAR-HEADED INDIVIDUAL HE IS--]
Oh! Wait, hang on a sec--
[He says, gently wiggling his arm out of Law's grip...
So he can just, like, snap his arm over his own knee. It's fine, the healing process wasn't far along! It was just a few little connecting bits of bone to break! HE HOLDS HIS HAND BACK OUT. He's utterly unaffected... good grief.]
[ THIS IS WHAT HE DESERVES..... but closes eyes. yeah, this is helpful but at the same time he has to wonder how many more times that this might happen now. ]
We should. Laying down would be the more realistic option but you won't be able to see what I'm doing if you do. ...and while I appreciate how willing you are to break your arm for the sake of education, we can also avoid doing that.
[ where are even this flea and doctor? how many more times will this flea break his arm before law can show him how to splint it?? ]
[Don't worry about it!! Don't think about the possibility for future breaks!! It's fine!!]
Oh... It's fine! I won't break it again!
[He says, and immediately forgets about it. Anyway, he'll just turn in a little circle, looking for a place with tables?! Fortunately they're near enough to the bar that he takes off like a shot in its direction... He's just expecting Law to follow, apparently.]
[ he's a doctor and honestly?? he wouldn't care because of the fact that they can't really die a second (or third) time. still, it's more of the "how many times must i pretend to be blind" more than anything. ]
I'll hold you to that.
[ and, well, law will follow because he did offer to teach the flea how to set bones even though he's kind of curious why that would need to happen? eh, he can probably figure it out for an indulgence or so. ]
Alright, well if you want to lay your arm on the table, we can get started more or less.
[ it's fine if that's what ends up happening. he doesn't even know that the flea is high on meth yet. the moment he realizes that he's teaching a druggied flea how to set their broken arm.... ]
You want to make it as straight as possible. [ cue him positioning the flea's arm as straight as possible. ] Even if it isn't entirely perfectly lined up, the bones will heal correctly on their own.
Next after that you'd find something split them with. Anything from two straight sticks, bars... Whatever you can find.
[SOMETIMES A FLEA JUST DRAGS YOU INTO WEIRD, WEIRD SITUATIONS. Don't worry about it.]
Wow, wait, seriously? Even for humans? They just know where to go...? [His emotion is the equivalent of !! right now, and he looks incredibly curious about it?!] That's so cool! I didn't know they could do that!
[IS HE EVEN PAYING ATTENTION. He's watching as Law positions his arm, at least...]
somehow law is getting through this without being annoyed and that's a magical experience. though he also just moving forward regardless of whether or not mahito's paying attention or not. weep. ]
For the most part. It's best to get it as straight as you can, but not everyone's perfect. Worse comes to worse, a limb that's slightly bent is better than no limb at all.
[ for the sake of things, law will find himself some fabric to do a mock wrapping of the flea's arm not that...he really needs to but just for demonstration. ]
You do what you can with what you have. If you're fortunate enough to have enough fabric, then bind it as tightly as you can so that it can't be disturbed or lose its shape.
Wow! Two months? Human bodies suck. How d'you guys get anything done? Imagine breaking a bone and having to wait two whole months about it! That's longer than we've been here!
[Haha, fragile and silly humans! The hilarity of it!!
Mahito stills for a second at that, though... Just a second. There's a rapid tp-tp-tp-tp sound soon after as he starts tapping his foot on the ground instead.]
Well, it depends on the severity of the break but something this bad would take about this long. A smaller break wouldn't.
[ wow wish law could take his pulse to see that it's elevated except we don't have pulses because we're dead!!! so he's just going to go off of what he can gather and... ]
Is there a reason why you'd lie to me about it? [ law isn't your mom, flea... ]
Smaller break, like... hairline fractures? That kinda stuff?
[HIS PULSE SURE WOULD BE ELEVATED IF HE HAD ONE. His leg's bouncing, and he kind of glances off to the side for a second. Law's not his mom BUT LOOK HE'S ALREADY BEEN SCOLDED LIKE THREE TIMES. HELP.]
Nooope! [Well. Like. It's true... in that he didn't lie for any particular reason.] I just tried something out! It'd be stupid to waste meth if we're gonna get it, right?
