[There's a Conan standing in an infirmary, staring up in annoyance at a glass-fronted cabinet full of gauze strips, and too short to reach them.

His left hand is pressed carefully against his right arm near the shoulder, blood leaking through his fingers, and his breathing is strained and shallow.

He might need some help.

[Ran hears it as well, and casts a wary glance around the infirmary before turning around to pick up the splint and help Conan with it. It's a professional brace, the kind that covers the wrist and holds the thumb as well, and she knows enough first aid and has gotten enough injuries in karate matches that she knows how to use it]

Is it a fracture or a break?

[undoing the fastens on the splint, checking the size and the padding on the inside. It's a little big, but it should do]

[That's Ran for you, always capable, and the ghost is content to merely watch, enjoying a side of her that he doesn't get to see very often these days. Despite himself, he's curious -- how does Ran react to the Conan that is him?]
karates_doors: (excuse me what.)

[Those words make her pause, completely silent, and only her tightening grip on the splint shows how swiftly her anger has just been roused.

That, and the hard edge in her voice as she asks
]

Who?

[she can tell which arm is sprained by the way he's holding it, and she reaches out to take it with a gentleness that's in stark contrast to the steel in her words, checking it against the splint. No, it's going to need a bit more padding. She reaches into the drawer the splint fell from and finds a roll, and starts wrapping around Conan's injured wrist, her other hand holding it firmly immobile so that she doesn't hurt him more in the process]

[Shinichi was afraid of this. 1412 knows what Ran is to them, won't hesitate to use other people to settle the score -- and a Ran going after him angry?

He squeezes Conan's shoulder in mute warning, touch not strong enough to hurt, just enough to be insistent. This could be disastrous.]
karates_doors: (put the taser down or get axe kicked)

Conan-kun.

[This is her best "stern neechan" look, as she finishes wrapping his wrist and carefully eases the splint over it]

You need to tell me so that it won't happen again.

[Potentially? Ran is involved. Venegeance guaranteed (in 30 minutes or its free).

Needless to say the cold pressure at Conan's shoulder isn't going anywhere.]
karates_doors: (calling for a chance)

[personal profile] karates_doors 2010-01-05 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Not that Ran is giving up even remotely that easily. The poor boy is only seven]

But he's still dangerous. And what if he tries to go after another Conan-kun here?

[None of them are getting hurt if she can help it]

Please, Conan-kun. I need to know.

[identity profile] deaduction.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[You know, that is a problem. It's not like 1412 has a warning label attached.

... he probably needs one.]

[He sounds so, so much like Shinichi sometimes, and it makes her sigh]

If I don't know who he is I might get hurt anyway. [she finishes carefully tightening the velcro straps, checking to make sure the splint is secure] I promise I won't go after him.

[Yet. She sits back on her heels and observes her handiwork. It looks stable enough] How's that? Not too tight?

[identity profile] deaduction.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[It would be stupid to think that this is the end of it, that Ran will forget this, but at least she isn't pushing this. Shinichi lets go of the pressure on Conan's shoulder, waiting to hear his response -- he's concerned too.]
karates_doors: (Conan how much TV do you watch?)

[personal profile] karates_doors 2010-01-05 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gets up and starts sorting through drawers for painkillers-- ah, there are the pill bottles. She tries to find one that will be strong enough but not too strong for children]

Well?

[She isn't giving up until he tells her :|]

[identity profile] deaduction.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's such a joy to see Ran strong and focused, even her anger seems new to the ghost. This is how she should be, determined no matter what the situation--

No, this is bad. The fact Ran keeps pushing is a sure sign that she's not going to forget and she is going to take things into her own hands -- Shinichi starts as the lightbulb nearest him blows with a small shower of sparks.

... well, if anything, it's a distraction?]
karates_doors: (but that can't be...)

[personal profile] karates_doors 2010-01-06 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Ran lets out a yelp of her own, dropping the bottle of pills she'd been holding and ducking instinctively, but she still manages to hear Conan's cry of pain.

This place is getting creepier by the second. Her initial instinct (honed by years of horror movies that she really should not have watched) is to get the heck out, but the sound that Conan made isn't a good one, she can tell.

She settles for casting a quick and defensive look around, and, seeing no immediate threat, crouches by the boy in a way that will hopefully allow her to shield him should anything show up
]

Conan-kun, are you okay?

[identity profile] deaduction.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[The echo of pain (dull but sending throbbing memory down nerves that no longer exist) is the focus the ghost needs to pull himself together. 1412 hurt him -- and the lines between which him exactly are blurred -- threatened Ran and might hurt others. This --]

[Quiet, still, focused inwardly, Shinichi begins to think.]
karates_doors: (kicked kitten look)

[personal profile] karates_doors 2010-01-10 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Shinichi--

[Her eyes widen, and she looks around the room again with a very different expression]

Shinichi is here?

[She should have known. But why was he blowing light bulbs? Was something wrong?

But she still has to tend to Conan, and Ran reluctantly turns away from her attempts to see the ghost in order to steady the young boy
]

Never mind. What happened? Are you still hurt somewhere?

[identity profile] deaduction.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Shinichi might be thinking hard, but his attention is caught by Ran's use of his name regardless. The ghost pauses a moment to study Ran as she goes back to tending to Conan before continuing to mull over the problem. First was taking care of him. Then they could deal with 1412.]

[And speaking of 1412 ...

Shinichi shifted to the door. He couldn't believe it had taken him this long to think of keeping watch. That encounter must have shaken him more than he'd realised. ]
