Well that was not necessarily the truth, she did have the hand-to-eye coordination and steady hands necessary to pull off the improvised surgery and that was the reason he trusted her in the first place, some of the pieces she extracted were smaller than he had expected and he would have never even noticed them in the panic of the situation. But still, it was oddly flattering to hear her compliment him on doing something right during that whole mess of a situation.

Better make sure it doesn't happen again.

[color=6ecff6]"Nah, one of my cousins graduated from Uni a little while ago with a medical degree, one of them doctors you know? and she wouldn't stop muttering about proper procedures when we watched medical dramas or would just sprout random medical facts to help herself remember them" [/color]

She would also show him gruesome pictures of injuries with a smile and make uncomfortable comments about the body that he wished he didn't know but that was neither here nor there, and at least she was less melodramatic than Pedro (The fucking drama queen) and definitely not even a quarter the asshole that Carlos was. [s]He missed them[/s]

[color=6ecff6]"Also I think you are giving me too much credit, the whole time I felt like Apprentice looked" [/color] As if a stiff breeze could blow him over and he was about to throw up [color=6ecff6]"And you shouldn't bring yourself down, I think you helped more in the battle than I did and you [i]also[/i] played the critical part in the surgery, I should be the one thanking you for the trust and doing what I asked"[/color] This was gonna suck [color=6ecff6]"So thank you, Mac, you really saved him-us! back there" [/color]

He carefully evited eve contact with the Frenchwoman, sure as hell giving a compliment to a semi-stranger felt awkward beyond measure, made even worse when he remembered that she saw him comfort the guy during the surgery. Fuck this was embarrassing! He needed to change the topic quickly, but what could he say to rile her up?... looking around and catching sight of a certain swordsman a plan sprung into his mind. [i]Perfect[/i]
 
[color=6ecff6]" So speaking of who were we before this whole thing started, I know you said you are an Olympic Archer but did you also know Zell beforehand? You two seem to flirt a lot"[/color]

Sorry for throwing you under the bus Zell but you were too convenient.
