Summary
“Are you…all right, there?” River hazarded, overcome with relief to find them mostly uninjured.
Max shrugged with the shoulder not currently emptying their lifeblood onto the floor of the bathroom. “I’m not about to go into hypovolemic shock, if that’s what you’re asking.”
River seriously doubted that, but okay. “And other than that?”
===
Max acquires an injury. River puts them back together.
