30 July, Une maison renfoncée - Page 7 Roux

"Good?" Roux repeated. The word "good" seemed out of place for how badly he hurt, but he was not the surgeon. He inhaled sharply as the surgeon prodded his ribs, and the motion sent a sharp burst of pain through his chest.

"Putain de merde!" he gasped.

30 July, Une maison renfoncée - Page 7 JamesToddpostav

The reaction from Alain when Todd brushed too heavily against his ribs hinted strongly at the existence of injuries internally. Namely, broken ribs. Which, unfortunately, Todd could do nothing about.

"My apologies, m'sieur," he said. "I am nearly done. Here, Paol, pass him that bottle, this one here." With both his hands busy with the bandage and dressing, Todd could only nod at the small bottle he had recently used to douse the linen pad.

At least it would only take another moment or two to finish wrapping the bandage around the Frenchman's torso, then with a careful knot to keep the bandage in place, he'd be through. A swallow or two of brandy would help ease the poor man's discomfort, too.

There were also others in the barn to treat, as he was reminded when another prisoner called out - though the fellow did so in English, Todd noted with a frown. Now that could not be a good thing.

Paol grimaced. What the hell was the Englishman thinking? Was he trying to get himself shot? "Michel!" he hissed, though he didn't dare say any more with the surgeon right there. He probably shouldn't have reacted at all, damnit.

But the surgeon was speaking to him now and he hurriedly refocused his attention. Bottle? Right. Carefully he picked up the small vessel and pressed it into Roux's hand. "To drink?"

30 July, Une maison renfoncée - Page 7 Roux

"Drink?" Roux asked. He shook his head, blinking. "Not with Michel around. Already can't say his name."

Now that was something to focus on. Didn't they say focusing on something other than the pain made you hurt less? Focusing was difficult at the moment, but Roux gave it a try.

"Buerrre-at. Buerre-atte," he said, and then shook his head. His vision swam for a moment. Then he tried again, trying to ignore the surgeon's poking at the burning hurt in his side. "Berr-at. Br-aaght.

"See? English name. Can't say it sober."

"Yes, that's the one. Good lad."

With the bandage around Alain's torso now secure, Todd shifted so he could peer toward where the English voice had come from. Michael. The fellow's name was Michael, though he could not be sure what else Alain was trying to say. He professed it to be an English name, which did not bode well.

"You there. Michel. Are you wounded?" For the moment, Todd chose to address the man in French, to test an uncomfortable suspicion he was feeling.

"Oh no," came the reply, this time in French. "I make a habit of bleedin' everywhere just because."

Damnit. Damnit. But at least Bright was -- bleeding? Why the hell hadn't he said something? Or maybe he had. Probably in English. Hell.

"Nevermind that," Paol said as steadily as he could manage. "Here--" Awkwardly he eased Roux's head and shoulders up a bit, "Drink that, it'll help with the pain."

"Thanks," Roux muttered. He took a sip of the brandy, and coughed as the alcohol burned all the way down. It aggravated his ribs further, and he whimpered quietly, but another gulp already had the pain ebbing slightly. That was better. "Thanks," he said again, eyelids drooping.

With a frown, Todd glanced back at Paol and Alain. "How well do you know Michel?" He asked in an undertone, privately dismayed at the situation that was developing.

Why did the surgeon want to know about Bright? Paol didn't sound happy about it. But, if Michel had gotten in trouble, he could get them all in trouble. Paol and Charcot had enough trouble, Roux thought, they didn't need Bright's too. He fought against the need to sleep that was tugging at him, though it was a losing battle. Todd's brandy had done its job well.

"Untrustworthy bastard," Roux mumbled. "Nothing but trouble, ever since January."

Rest sounded good. Roux nodded, letting his eyes slide shut.

"No trouble," he agreed, voice slurring as he fell asleep. "Wake me f' my watch."

Since January. Todd closed his eyes briefly. "I see. Your friend is correct, you should sleep. You will feel better after some rest."

There was little enough he could do about what he had been told at the moment, however. The third man was wounded, or so he claimed. Todd's duties as a surgeon were clear, which made things simple enough. Others could worry about what to do with Michael once he was patched up.

"Paol, if you please. I may need your assistance," Todd said, rising to his feet so he could pick his way toward where the man Michael was sitting.

" 'Bout time, ain't it?" Again the slightly-sneering tone, though inexplicably the words were in English. It was almost as if the man could not tell from one moment to the next which language he was speaking.

"Yes, sir." He started to rise, then checked, settling back to his knees. "Dominic? You alright to wait here with Roux?" he took the younger soldier's hand and placed it on Roux's shoulder. "I'll be right close by."

The barn seemed to spin as he pushed to his feet again and followed the surgeon to where Bright lay propped against the stall door. "Stop showin' off," Paol muttered at him, sinking gratefully back to the ground.

Now that he was closer, it was easy to see the poor state Michael was in. Blood from a gash on his forehead had run down the right side of his face, staining it a dark shade of scarlet, and the white of his waistcoat was heavily splotched with blood as well.

"Will you help get his coat off?" Todd asked Paol, ignoring the sudden upward jerk of Michael's head as the man looked sharply up at them.

"Sure, he wants to know which arm to have off," grumbled Bright in English, though he submitted to the gentle manhandling placidly enough.

Todd ignored the remark, which was typical of any soldier when facing a surgeon's examination, and got down to the business of locating the wound which had produced so much blood. It didn't take long to find it, as it was a long slash across the outside of the man's chest and under the armpit.

That was not a good place to be wounded. With a sigh, Todd reached back for his kit bag. This one would take a while.

A slight ripping noise accompanied Todd's use of a short, sharp knife to cut away Michael's shirt, which was ruined anyway. The fabric could be used as bindings but nothing more.

"Soak a pad of linen with that, please," he said to Paol, gesturing at the bottle of brandy the Frenchman still had in hand. "Then cork it and set it aside, we may need it further."

Michael uttered a short grunt of a laugh, followed by a disdainful mutter in French. "Oh aye, this the thanks I get for actually helpin' you buggers out."

Paol ignored the comment, relieved that it was at least in French, and did as he was told, carefully soaking the swatch of linen and handing it to the surgeon. If he had been unable to hold onto the man's careful instructions, he was at least nervous enough about spilling the bottle's contents or dropping it to remember to cork it and set it down.

Todd drew in a breath and set straight to work swabbing purposefully at the heavily-bleeding wound. The reaction was instant and violent, an agonised howl accompanied by a reflexive jerk away from the cause of such pain.

"Steady now, my lad!" Todd said in a brisk tone, using his free hand to try to hold Michael's left arm still. "This will only take a moment!"

Fresh pain drilled into the back of his shoulder as Bright's body jerked, and a choked sounding curse escaped him. "Hang on," Paol ground out, pinning the Englishman more firmly against the stall door.

It was a good job he had done this countless times before, on men who had more strength in them to resist than Michael did. He was quickly finished - just in time, as it turned out, for a blind swipe from Michael's half-closed fist clouted alongside Todd's ear.

"Steady, m'sieur," the surgeon admonished, rocking back on his haunches. "The worst is over."
