Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten, Tyrol, Austria [Monday, daytime]

Good morning Fandom High students, teachers, and assorted guests! Ready to hit the slopes? The answer had better be 'yes', because that's what was happening today whether you liked it or not. Once your lesson was done, of course, you were free to do as you wished, whether that was continue hurtling down a mountain at ridiculous speeds while strapped to long sticks, or go warm up with some delicious hot beverages.

"Your leg," Peridot said, a touch tersely as she undid the ski from her boot and set it to the side. "I'm going to put your leg back together."

Wishing the entire while that Steven was here so he could just spit things better, yes. But she was a Peridot, she was a technician of Homeworld and a hero to Earth. She could handle putting some bones back in the right order. She just needed a moment to kind of compose herself, and then she put her hands carefully on Jason's leg.

"If Earth fiction is any indication at all, this is going to," she paused, trying to remember the appropriate word. "Suck."

And then she was going for it. Hannibal's lessons hadn't been terribly focused on pain management as of yet. This was kind of like combat medic get-the-job-done stuff, and Peridot had never been terribly gentle. But so help her clod, she was going to set that bone right.

"... Well, why did you do that? Will the cold help with your head injury?"

Peridot dusted her hands off, and then frowned back at the ski. And then at Jason's leg.

"I need to tie that to your leg. To splint it. Do you have anything I can use?"

She was kind of naked except for her ski boots, after all.

Peridot took note of the scarf, nodded, and then moved to (rather more carefully) unwrap it from Jason's neck, shimmy back down to his leg, and then proceeded to splint it.

"That should do," she sighed, then made her way back up to sit in the snow by his face again. "How's your head? You're losing blood there."

It was far more distressing to see it happen in real life, coming from somebody that she knew.

Peridot really didn't have anything to bandage Jason's head with, anyway. Where would she even keep a first-aid kit?

"I've never witnessed human healing times personally," she replied. "This is the first time I've ever seen a human so seriously damaged before," and it was difficult to keep the concern out of her voice. "But... I'm led to believe that it takes weeks, even months, to recover from a break that serious."

She looked at him uncomfortably.

"We really should call somebody. I can't carry you back."

Most Gems were at the very least superhumanly strong. Era Two Peridots, on the other hand...

That was not terribly reassuring, no. Peridot squinted, and then shuffled up closer to take a peek at his head injury.

"How hard did you hit that, anyway?"

Peridot blinked. And squinted. And then leaned back to look at Jason maybe a touch suspiciously.

"How?"

Was it healing spit? She'd come across a lot of healing spit as of late.

"... Who would I tell?"

Peridot had plenty of friends around the island, but she wasn't exactly a gossip. Radio still baffled her, as a concept, beyond practical uses like emergency broadcasts.

"So you're really going to be okay? You haven't just scrambled your soft human thinkmeat in the fall?"

Peridot was very silent and very still at that, just looking at Jason intently for a good ten seconds before sighing, nodding, and taking a seat beside him.

"Okay. Then I'll wait here with you."

He made no sense. No sense. It shouldn't have been possible. But he hadn't been incorrect, either; she could tell that the gouge on his head was already healing, and none of the simulations that Dr. Lecter had provided in class had done anything like that.

"I only learned how this week," Peridot noted, tilting her head a little, thoughtfully catlike. "Fortunate timing, apparently."

Well. Hannibal had taught it specifically in preparation of the ski trip.

Still.

She looked down at his leg, frowning a bit and trying to observe the healing process. Through a pant leg. It was not as successful an attempt at observation as she might have hoped.

"So you aren't normal by the standards of your species."

This was what passed for small talk for a Peridot.

Peridot leaned back a little, putting her hands in the snow behind her.

"I don't suppose many people on the island are," she allowed after another pause. "Do you know your limits? When should I be worried? Does this mean jumping from the principal's tower with other humans is still a bad idea?"

Get ready for question hour with your host, Peridot.

Peridot nodded a little as she processed all of that.

"Okay, then I'll keep my roof jumping limited to just you," she decided. "And we'll just never ski again."

Best plan!

"We both fell off the side of the mountain," Peridot pointed out. "And then you wound up damaged."

This was a big deal, okay?!

"And you did break my fall so that I didn't get damaged," Peridot allowed, frowning thoughtfully before looking back up the mountainside that they just fell down. "I also lost a ski."

That would make going down a second time a little more difficult.
