Neal didn't flinch, and Diana gave him credit for that. The only indication that it must be hurting was the expression on his face. Always the con man.

She applied more Betadine to his lower arm, where a large portion of his skin had been scraped away in an unfortunate collision of asphalt and body. He readily let her wrap the gauze bandage around his arm, and she tried to be as careful as she could.

"You know that you can report him, right?"

Neal nodded, but his eyes said he wouldn't.

Matthew Keller would get away with it. Again.

Both ouch and interesting. And doesn't hitting that 100 mark on the first try feel good?

Yes, it surely feels good, though I have a feeling it was more a coincidence than anything. ;o)

The more you do the more often you'll find it happening. ;-)

Just be careful with the patting, Neal's hurt! ;o)

[crism79.livejournal.com]

;P I'm being extra careful with the patting :)))))

Wow - this is wonderful. Perfect use of little details to convey SO FRIGGIN' MUCH! (And congrats on hitting 100 so easily! :D)

Wheee, thank you so much! The hitting the 100 word mark shocked me, actually. I think it was more of a coincidence than anything. Plus, I think this is, like, my third 100 word drabble ever. I can never squeeze what I wanna say in so few words, so I usually end up with double or triple drabbles.
