[ He takes the water hesitantly, but no where near as much as the two white pills. He's used to medicine being in liquid form. It means he ends up squinting at the two pills first, looking back at her incredulously. ]

This is medicine? [ Ah, oops, sorry Ema. He swallows them when prompted again, then turns slowly so she can get on with whatever it is she wants to do. He has no idea how someone this young knows so much about science, but for once he'll keep his mouth shut on the issue. ]

This is medicine, yes. Just for pain, that's all.

[Ema beams up at him and has a look at the back of his head, hemming and hawwing a little before prodding it gently with a finger.]

Nope, just a bruise. You might want to put some ice on that when you get home, so it won't swell...but nothing bad.

[The power of SCIENCE at work!]

What kind of herbs does it even use? [ He moves his tongue in his mouth, as if trying to get an after taste of it. He's just... too used to Old Medicinal Methods okay?

Though that stops when she pokes the back of his head. Ow??! ]

What are you doing? [ Yeah, he sure jerked away from her as it feels sore still. Apparently yelling out is the way to handle this. He covers it now with his hand anyway, meaning Ema can't start jabbing away again. Rude, to be honest. ]

Should we head back now then? I'd really like to get cleaned up anyway. [ A pause. ] And you must be freezing.

[ Considering... he blasted her with water. Ah. ]

It’s got a lot of little things in it. It’s kind of complicated, but it’s not actually an herb. It’s something that people have…um…I guess taken the good things out of an plant and combined them with other things and pressed them into a pill. I don’t know the specific ingredients to Aspirin though.

[She giggles a little bit and shakes her head.] And I was checking for shock. You’re fine. And…yeah. I guess we should. I need to have a bath and clean up.

[A beat.]

Wanna walk home together?

Something else to learn, I suppose. [ He sighs that out, but it isn't exactly in a bad way. The only bad thing here is how she attempted to check for shock. ]

And you didn't think of just asking? [ Ema please??? ] What if there had been damage or... something?

[ BUT THERE WASN'T... Which is why he just licks his lips and shakes his head. At least when he looks away he's obviously thinking about how she obviously meant well. Something like that. ]

Nevermind. Lets just. [ He indicates to walk. ] I'll walk you home first.
