[Well at least he laughed at it. When he makes a sound of pain, he'll gently press his hand to his side, trying to make sure the wound doesn't get worse]

Ehe, anytime soon? How about we go for ever...?

[But okay, moving on]

I don't know, I guess regular check-ins? So I know you all are okay.

[ He could go along and agree with "ever," getting stabbed by a sharp tail isn't something he wants to experience a second time. But, always with the buts, he can't make any promises about avoiding injury, only death. What a wonderful job Matt does being realistic about some things, like battle damage, and completely unrealistic about others, like running wild with said injuries. He doesn't reply to Elliot's suggestion but moving on... ]

I could send badly positioned blurry photos of your little cousin.

[fiddlestick]

Well, I'd never say no to any of those...

[But Elliot's not stupid. He knows Matt dodged his request]

...But not exactly what I asked for Uncle.

[blessmefather]

Yeah...

[ You caught him. Matt hangs his head then slowly nods it. ]

It's a good idea. Foggy will definitely be on board. I uh... I worry sometimes about the pressure you're put under taking care of me.

[ At least he said that much. ]

[fiddlestick]

[he shakes his head]

I don't feel any pressure. [He looks up, offering a gentle smile] If anything, it makes me happy that I'm useful.

-- Erm, I mean not that I like you getting hurt but...I like that I can be of some use!

[blessmefather]

Of course.

[ He immediately agrees when Elliot clarifies that he doesn't want him to get hurt. Matt can't help chuckling softly; nobody in their right mind would think that's what Elliot of all people would want. ]

You help in other ways too, you know. You mean a lot more than magic powers, those came by chance.

[fiddlestick]

Aha...you think so?

[He bites his lip a little as he continues his work]

Yeah, but it feels like I got a lot more useful when I got them.

[blessmefather]

Absolutely.

[ He reaches out to put a hand over one of Elliot's to make sure he knows how important what he's saying to him is. ]

Your powers are a convenience. They make it easy but it's still your decision to do what you do. You're patching me up right now. It's not as fast this way but it's you.
