Yeah, [ she agrees, putting a finger under his chin and tilting his head up so she can look at his nostrils. ] Yeah, you're fine.
[ she doesn't tell him that his nose is swollen and an angry reddish-purple color under the splotches of quickly drying blood. the only mirror in her room is in the little adjoining bathroom so he probably can't see the full damage either. but can probably feel it, so maybe she shouldn't poke him, but —
no, she's gently prodding his left nostril. it's part of her doctor assessment shut up she went to nursing school or something. ]
[He can definitely feel it and he flinches when she prods his nose and that just makes it worse because he flinches into her finger and his face would like to explode now, thanks.]
Do you want to go to medical to get it set or something?
[ oh god how do they explain that he potentially broke his nose during foreplay that is the worse and would totally get back to her father in some variation or another. chuck quickly changes tunes. ]
[ she is so fucking embarrassed, her ears are burning. ]
I'll set your nose. You don't need to go to medical, I've done it before.
[ either she's going to set your nose or you're going to have to fight your way to the medical office, she's not having anyone knowing what just went down. ]
Come on, I gotta go meet my old man in five minutes.
[ okay, so 'setting someone's nose' might more mean shoving it back into place and hoping for the best, and her old academy companion not being incredibly disappointed with the results. she'd broken a girl named sidney's nose before, and still thinks that she had done the girl a favor, but gets mild heart palpitations at the thought of having messed up raleigh's face permanently.
plus she's running late, so okay he can go to medical but — ]

...what? I'm going to get it set.

It looks fine, [ she lies with insistence. but her neck is burning with preemptive embarrassment. ] Just put some ice on it.

You don't want me to go because then people will know you broke my nose because I tried to go down on you, don't you?

[This is the look of a man who is not letting her come anywhere near setting his nose.]
Go meet your dad, I can find my way there on my own.
