*Emily opened the back door to the kitchen and led Renn inside.*
"Now I know I had some scissors somewhere..."
*She dropped Rocky for the time being and hunted for something to cut off the spurs with.*
"Oh, here..."
*She reached into a sack and tossed a handful of dried lentils on the floor to keep the roosters busy while she rummaged through some drawers.*

Renn kept an eye on the chickens to make sure they didn't kill each other while Emily looked for scissors.
"You have anything germ killing I can wash my arms with? I'm all bloody."

"Well...there's some good oldfashioned iodine in that cupboard...but...so long as there's no one around to witness the anachronism..." *she glanced about to make certain the kitchen was otherwise empty before pointing to a drawer.* "There should be some Polysporin in there, now. There's a basin of hot water on the stove and some bunches of clean rags in the mop closet."

"Anachronism? Are you kidding?" Renn asked as she gather the stuff. "We've got an MRI machine in the infirmary. This is nothing."
She winced as she washed her arms and surveyed the damage.
"Sheesh, people are going to think I'm a cutter."

*Emily shrugged.*
"So? We *are* Sues, after all. Every good Sue self-mutilates a little when she's feeling really low. Well, except me. And I'm not a good Sue. Burns and cuts are frequent enough with me when they're accidents. Plus they're generally unpleasant."

"Generally unpleasant is right. I have too low a pain tolerance to do anything dumb like that." She laughed.
"Any luck with the spurs?"

*Emily was trying to hold down Klaus to snip off the leather of the spurs.*
"It's getting there...rather slow going with this darn leather. Don't wanna use anything sharper...might cut off the poor little guy's legs."

"Yeah. So long as it comes off eventually," Renn said. "Do you want me to try so you can wash up?"

"Well I got Klaus done...I think I've got the knack for it, now. I'll take a stab at Rocky." *She tackled her chicken and had the spurs off in about half the time as the first chicken.*
"Better."
*She stood up and went to wash her hands.*
"Thanks for your help today. It's rotten for people to do that to chickens."

"Hey, no problem. They don't deserve to be treated like that."
She laughed.
"I probably would have attempted the rescue even if you weren't there, and gotten my ass kicked for my trouble."

"Do you think those guys'd really hit girls?"
*She considered some of the rough characters they'd seen at the cockfight.*
"...okay maybe they would."
