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.

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.
Re: Beginners
And to add insult to (heh) injury, as Jason shouted in pain, he flailed one arm out and connected with a nearby tree. The snow that had been resting on the branches was shaken loose by the impact, landing on his face.
"Ugh." He declared eloquently.
Re: Beginners
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.
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
"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.

Re: Beginners
"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...

Re: Beginners
"How hard did you hit that, anyway?"
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
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.
Re: Beginners
Not that anyone in Fandom would care, but rules were rules.
Re: Beginners
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?"
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
"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.
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
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.
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
"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.
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
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!
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
"We both fell off the side of the mountain," Peridot pointed out. "And then you wound up damaged."
This was a big deal, okay?!
Re: Beginners
Re: Beginners
"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.
