[i] – Mercy – [/i]

Mercy was trying really hard not to follow her instincts on this, she literally wanted to scoop Zivon up to comfort him...although his nose really didn’t look good, she needed to look at that as soon as possible if it was broken there was only a few things she could do to make it better, her healing power was probably too weak to stretch as far as healing a broken nose. She watched him carefully worry clinging to her features up until he repeated the word ‘Ice cream’ in his nervous stutter, her eyebrows rose in surprise. She honestly hadn’t expected her pitiful attempt to appease him with ice cream would actually work! There was another tug on the damaged strings within her chest as he crawled toward her before looking up with her with [i]happiness[/i] in his eyes. If it hadn’t been for his bloody disheveled appearance she would have called this ‘cute’ without a shadow of a doubt as it was she was [i]really[/i] worried about him and wanted to get him all fixed up as soon as possible. She kept a reassuring smile on her face as she nodded at him. “Yup ice cream, they’ve got all sorts of flavors. I promise I’ll get you some after we’ve got you checked out” She told him looking around before grabbing a wad of serviettes from behind the bar along with a tea towel -she’d have to replace it before Nikola noticed- she handed both of them over to Zivon in the hopes he could use them to stem the bleeding. She heard him stutter out the word ‘daddy’ wondering whether he was requesting his father or merely remembering him...she would have to ask him once he was calmer. She turned back to Darwin ignoring the guilt that niggled at the back of her mind for turning her attention away from Zivon..

Mercy watched Darwin questioningly for a moment before she realized something seemed a little off with him...well he had just knocked himself out. She beamed at him as took it and effectively asked the blonde girl to dinner. [i]They are kind of cute together...[/i] She thought, as she glanced over her shoulder to check on Drow. She instantly adopted a guilty expression as Drow crept out from behind her muttering meanie, it had probably been from the teasing. “I was only joking with you honey, don’t be embarrassed” She smiled at her, keeping Zivon in her sights having handed him something to stem the bleeding from his nose she felt better but she wanted to get him to the med center to get him checked out properly. She didn’t need a nurse rather supplies, she’d covered broken noses before being a med student...whenever she thought of that part of her life she felt oddly disconnected from it. [i]Earth to Mercy! People need you on this planet~[/i] She blinked before looking at Drow seeing her slide a notebook out of her pocket she heard the pen scribble across the page, nosily leaning forward she was able to steal a quick glance of the paper before Drow retracted the notebook a grin spread across Mercy’s face as she looked at Darwin winking at him and slyly giving him a thumbs up for encouragement. 

Thinking on it she wanted to check out Darwin’s injury as well she gave Zivon a reassuring smile and held her index finger up signifying she would only be a moment. Before approaching Darwin “Your head...I should have asked sorry, here let me sort you out” She smiled at him, lifting her hand up towards his head as she moved to stand beside him, anyone else and she wouldn’t have dreamt of doing this but...it was Darwin and she was sure he wouldn’t freak out from the contact. “Need to be at your best hmm?” She murmured for his ears alone, trying not to giggle as she offered him a quick heal to alleviate any discomfort, he of course had the choice of turning it down. If he accepted it that feeling of slight pain would have left and if he didn’t Mercy nodded in acknowledgement offering a reassuring smile before moving back over to Zivon, noticing Drow had kindly offered the poor guy the end of her scarf to help out. Mercy came to stand by Zivon keeping a healthy distance between herself and the young boy just in case it upset him further. 

“Right, well I should really get Zivon to the med bay we’ll come find you guys again later...have fun!” Mercy announced giving Drow and Darwin a smile each before she returned her full attention to Zivon, feeling incredibly guilty for not doing so before...he was bleeding and she had seemingly ignored this fact to play matchmaker...she would have to make this up to him big time. “Hey Zivon, shall we go get that sorted and then onto ice cream?” She asked him for th second time, almost reaching out for him again but considering how it went last time she opted against it. “Come on, I’m going to need you to get up. I promise the med office isn’t far...lean on me if you want to” She instructed him softly, deciding to let physical contact be entirely up to him, she didn’t want to move anywhere until Zivon was ready to.
