Mm. [ Better answer than 'go see a doctor'. But that-- Jesus. That's
slightly terrifying because it's so...unknown. He's never experienced
anything like that before. ]
Yeah.. [hes about to say well hey at least you lived but.. He didn't. So. Not going there.]
It's manageable, you just have to take it easy for a while. Like I said, you should get checked out. I don't know how much the people here can do but it's better than not doing anything..
[he echos the shrug and takes his communicator doodad out of his pocket, scrolling through the message he posted and tapping out a message to someone.]
Someone here has experience with radiation and electrical burn. He says he's not a doctor but he's a scientist. I've agreed to go and see him after I see that other doctor.. If he has anything useful to say I'll mention you to him.
[ Whatever you want, Raleigh. Chuck's feathers are ruffled and he's
all kinds of skittish right now. He feels weird and there's a strange twist
in his gut that he doesn't like and can't define. ]
[He nods again. There isn't much else to say but he doesn't quite feel like leaving Chuck alone just yet, either. So he just.. Sits. Quiet company. They're all the other has, after all.]
[ For all that Chuck's body language is screaming must flee
now!!! he doesn't really want to. He just sits there quietly, shoulder
to shoulder, hands clasped in his lap as he stares down at them. ]
[sometimes that's all you can do. Just sit and think and breathe. Spending your life being invincible makes coming to terms with your mortality that much more difficult. Chuck is human. He can get hurt, he has gotten hurt. It's a lot to come to terms with, Raleigh gets it. So he stays the way he wished he'd had someone to stay with him when he'd had the revelation. When he'd been nothing short of a pathetic mess. Half crazy from loss, half crazy from pain.
He won't let that happen to Chuck. No body deserves that.
They sit in silence for a long time, quietly shivering in the chilly air. Raleigh doesn't mind, it's nothing new to him.
Eventually, though, he thinks ks about maybe saying something.. If only he could settle on a good conversation.]
[ Chuck is quiet, contemplative. Raleigh's presence is comforting,
but Chuck doesn't have much to say. There's nothing to say, really.
Just -- sort of revel in the fact Raleigh hasn't gotten up and left. ]
[he smiles. It would be easy to say no, I don't need help. I'm totally fine a d capable of cooking a steak. But that isn't what chuck is actually asking and he knows it.]

Sorry.
You should see a doctor. Don't ignore it, trust me.

[ Because it feels like Raleigh's holding info back and it's unbelievably frustrating. ]

It sounds like you've got electrical burn. Same thing happened to me. [twice. And you can see how great a state he's in.]
no subject
[ He's not being forthcoming, either. ]
