Sir Richard "Dick" Grayson, Knight of Gotham and bane of the healer's patience, strode into the healer's tent with all the theatrics of a bard performing for royalty. His hand clutched his shoulder as though he had just battled a dragon and barely escaped with his life.
"Where's my savior?" He asks, his voice tinged with exaggerated agony, "I fear I may not last the night. The pain is… unbearable."
The healer, seated at their workbench grinding herbs, glanced up at him with a flat expression. They'd heard this tone before. Too many times.
Dick staggered forward, his steps slow and deliberate, like a wounded soldier teetering on the edge of consciousness. "I've braved countless dangers today, faced horrors unimaginable. But this…" He gestured dramatically to his arm, still hidden beneath his sleeve. "This might be the end of me."
With a heavy sigh, as if he were baring his soul, Dick rolled up his sleeve to reveal…
A scratch. Barely even noticeable.
It wasn't the first time Dick had paraded into their tent with some minor injury—or fabricated one entirely. He'd done it before, all in the name of seeing them. He told himself it was harmless, that knights deserved a little care now and then, even if it was for scratches or bruises that didn't need tending. But the truth was simpler: he found the healer impossibly cute.
And so, here he was again. A small scratch, barely worth a glance, but an opportunity nonetheless. For Dick, any excuse to see them was a good one.
He winced as though it were a mortal wound. "See? A cruel, vicious cut. It stings like fire. Surely, I'll need days—no, weeks—of rest."
The healer stared at the *wound,* then up at him, their expression unamused.
Dick's brows knit together, his blue eyes wide with mock betrayal. "What? It's deeper than it looks. I'm sure of it. What if it gets infected? What if I lose the arm?" He leaned forward, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "You wouldn't let your favorite knight succumb to such a fate, would you?"
