[CLOSED] Did you cut your hands on me?
WHO | Sigma and Eponine
WHAT | Sigma tries not to be a terrible father figure and takes Eponine out for a night on the town, then they discuss Eva's will.
WHEN | Following the mini-Arena and Sigma's surgery.
WHERE | District 3 Suite and out in the Capitol.
NOTES/WARNINGS | Mentions of surgery/allusions to dismemberment, mentions of death. Warnings to be added.
When Sigma slipped into a sweater that afternoon, he could not bring himself to pull down the sleeves.
The seam that Justine had left on his arm was still raw. His cybernetics had not been created with much in the way of self-healing, and it was left to the surgeon's skill with a suture to stop his artificial blood from spilling out. There was nothing he could do but continue to take medication and hope the ABT would eventually coagulate, that the artificial skin that held his wire and titanium body together might fuse along the faux lines of cleavage.
Sigma had chosen not to bandage his arm - he feared it would frighten Eponine, and instead elected to keep his dissected limb pressed close to his body. Perhaps an intrepid pathogen might slip its way inside the oil and through the mechanical barrier that fed his real veins and arteries, but the chances were relatively slim. As he folded the cuff of his sleeve at his elbow, Sigma inspected himself in his mirror. He realized suddenly that he had begun trembling.
It takes a few splashes of cold water against his face before Sigma can steel himself to leave. Bidding Nye (and Diana and Kyle's photographs) goodbye, the Doctor makes his way quickly to District 3's suite before he can lose his nerve entirely.
He knocks on Eponine's door in an unannounced visit. Though his anxiety had been what kept him from leaving his room, guilt threatened to drown him: he felt as though he had abandoned his children after Eva's death, that he had spent much of his time licking his wounds instead of giving them the affection they deserved.
