The air in the sickbay was a few degrees cooler than the hallway, but the difference wouldn't have been that noticeable had Chris's skin not been covered with a fine sheen of sweat. She had managed to use her shirt to dab some of it off of her face, neck and chest with her free hand on the way to the bay, but the effect was still there.
"Dr. Stryker?" she called, knocking on the door frame. "I need your help." She tried not to sniffle.

Aramis looked up from the book he'd been reading and smiled at her, coming over and leading her to a cot. He sat her down gently and looked at her back. "You know you can just come in, you don't have to knock. Now, what did you do to your back? Looks pretty scraped up."
Aramis grabbed a cloth and got it damp, then filled a bowl with cool water and a very gentle soup at the sink and brought it over, after washing his hands. He started cleaning her back carefully, watching her reactions. He was gentle, but made certain he got the scrape well cleaned before he slowly started healing it.
In the back of his mind, as that very slight burn started in his own shoulder, Aramis mentally prayed nothing like what had happened in his school career happened this year. Small wounds like this, even the occasional larger wounds, were fairly easy for him to heal, but when he was forced to heal something major, and constant minor wounds, he started running into trouble. He'd made himself sick a few times at the hospital when he was getting his medical training before learning his lesson. And something inside him always cringed when he was forced to ask for help before he hurt himself.
"This isn't very bad. It probably hurts a great deal worse than it is."

Yuki followed Chris over and stood in front of her and out of the Healer's way. "Here," he said taking her hand in one of his, "if it hurts too much, just squeeze." He smiled genlty at her, "It'll all be over soon."
He glanced over at Stryker and said in his quiet voice, "Thank you, Doctor."

Chris bit her lip and twitched away from the cloth initially, though she grimaced and forced herself to stay still. She tried to keep her grip on Yuki's hand light, though every so often she would spasm and squeeze it.
"I was running on the track and I fell," she explained, scrunching her nose against the stinging. The pain was dulling, though. "Tripped over my own feet. Heh."

Yuki turned a nice shade of pink. "I-I'm Yuki, Yuki Vibrato. A senior in the academy here." He nodded to add solidity to his statement. "Th-thanks," he muttered, "for helping Chris, I mean . . ." his voice trailed off. He hated how he wasn't good with people.

Aramis smiled. "I used to trip over my own feet all the time. Teenagers are always awkward, some longer than others. Something must have distracted you, you tend to be one of the more graceful here."
He finished healing her back and flexed his fingers slightly, his dark eyes narrowing imperceptively. Yeah, that scrape would be gone in a few minutes. "There you are, Chris. Tell your father I said hello when you see him."
He looked at the other student curiously, letting Chris pull her shirt back on in peace."I don't think we've met before. As you are probably aware, I'm Doctor Stryker... and if you ever hear Rhythan say it, you'd think I was a British agent or something... And you would be?"

Chris glanced at Yuki at Aramis's distraction statement and managed a grin. "Yeah. I looked up and gravity decided to betray me."
She felt the odd tingling sensation of her skin smoothing itself over and rolled her shoulders. She stood and gave the doctor and sweet smile before turning from the males to pull her shirt on. "Thanks."

Aramis nodded at Chris with a smile, then turned back to Yuki. "It's not a problem. After all, that is why I'm here,"Aramis smiled, nodding slightly.
"A pleasure to meet you, Yuki. I hope it doesn't become too often an occurance,"Now his smile became a grin as he nodded at the two. "Try not to trip again, Chris. Now, I'm sure you both have more interesting things to do than sit in the sickbay."

Yuki nodded at the Doctor and glanced at Chris. He scratched the back of his neck absentmindedly and muttered, "C-can I have my shirt back?"
He glanced over to the side and then his eyes widdened . . . He had left Aame at the track. Yuki cursed and bolted out the door. How could he forget his VIOLIN!!!??

Chris nodded to the healer, and had started to hand the button-up shirt back to Yuki when the boy cursed and bolted.
"What--" she began, then her lips rounded into an oh of understanding. He had left his violin back on the track.
Chris waved to Aramis. "Thanks again. And I'll be sure to tell dad you said hello."
With that, she exited into the hallway, walking for a few strides before breaking into a run to follow Yuki.

Aramis chuckled as Yuki bolted, then waved at Chris. "Take care,"
He shook his head at them both, remembering when he'd be as awkward with strangers, and as ready to run, then returned to his book.
