"Grr..."
Rumble didn't say any more words to Teemo, deciding that it was wiser not to push the issue any further. So it's true, he thought. He still likes me... The mechanic loosened his grip on Teemo and continued to walk towards the hospital, his mood fouler than before. However, deep down in his heart, he also secretly wished that he wouldn't lose the scout as a friend. He hoped that his friend wouldn't let his grumpiness get the better of him.

Teemo remains silent for the remainder of the walk. When they arrive at the hospital, he pushes the door open for Rumble, then assists him in walking to the front counter. It seems that if there is any pain in his bad foot, he's not showing it. The receptionist is rather surprised to see Teemo so soon, and without his cane, though before she can say anything the scout captain speaks up.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but there was a bit of an accident at the workshop. Rumble really needs to see a doctor, ASAP. He stumbled and fell onto some old metal parts, but I've disinfected everything once."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Nov 13, 2013 18:50:00 GMT -5
The receptionist blinks in surprise, but she grants the scout's request nonetheless. "Oh, yes, of course, Teemo! I'll arrange a room for your friend right now. Um, by the way, you're back rather quickly from your last visit here. Has your ankle healed up already?"
Before Teemo could reply, Rumble steps in and speaks to the receptionist. "No, ma'am. We both need to see the doctor. You see, Teemo had an... unfortunate accident today, where he fell on his injured ankle," said Rumble, glaring slightly at Teemo in the end of his sentence. "Think you can arrange a doctor that'll treat both of us?"

Teemo doesn't acknowledge Rumble's extra information, simply staring at the receptionist rather deadpan. She, in return, gives a single, slow, concerned nod and responds with, "Of course. Just have a seat over in the waiting area if you're able and we'll have a nurse or two out to take you up to your room as soon as possible."
Immediately Teemo gives a short salute, saying "Thank you.", and drags Rumble over to the seats, not admitting that his foot is in a great deal of pain. It doesn't show.

Rumble winces for a moment and hobbles towards the seats as Teemo is dragging him. He sits and stares down, occasionally glancing uncomfortably at the scout while waiting for the nurse to come. Eventually, the mechanic turns towards his friend and whispers at him.
"Teemo, listen. I know you're upset about what happened a long time ago, but I really don't wanna lose you as a friend. Yeah, maybe I don't share the same interests as you, but I don't want you to hate me, either. If these thoughts of yours are really becoming a problem, then you could, I dunno... fantasize about someone else, maybe."
Rumble let out a loose chuckle before continuing, but he still kept his voice quiet enough for only Teemo to hear. "Besides, someday you'll find a male who'll take ya, I'm sure of it. You're a great pal to be around, Tee."

Teemo gives Rumble a sideways glance while he speaks, though immediately turns away when he finishes. Then he gives another. And another. After the third glances his eyelids drop slightly and he sighs, slightly turning his head to the mechanic. "Since when did you know how to be so sentimental?"
A few seconds after saying this, a faint smirk shows on the scout's lips, indicating that his words were humorous. He leans over a little to gently put an arm around the other yordle, his voice also low, even though the waiting area is empty save the receptionist. "It's not so much that I'm fantasizing about others... but I shouldn't even be thinking about how attractive a yordle is. Not right now, at least, so that's why I got upset when those thoughts started coming back. But... I'll get better at not thinking about those things, I know I will. So thanks."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Nov 19, 2013 0:16:54 GMT -5
Rumble recoils slightly and blushes, greatly embarrassed by Teemo's comment. "Sentimental?! I, er..." The mechanic quickly glances across Teemo, hoping that the doctor would be walking towards the pair and save Rumble further embarrassment. He didn't come.
"Well... I dunno, I'm just tryin' to be nice for once, that's all! I mean, I was just kinda worried about losing you, because, oh gosh, this feels really weird to say," the flustered yordle stated, bringing his voice down to a whisper again. "I mean, I have a ton of fans, but I don't really have a lot of friends, and now that I've got a taste of what real friendship feels like, I... don't... really want to.... lose it..." His words trailed off into a mutter and he glanced away from Teemo awkwardly as he reached the end of the sentence.
Rumble didn't say anymore words and looked down at the floor, feeling greatly beyond embarrassed at this point.

For a moment Teemo's smile fades as he loosens his grip on the other yordle, feeling he may have upset Rumble. It quickly becomes apparent that that's not the case and he smiles again, glancing around to make sure nobody is looking. And of course, nobody is, so he leans over a little more to give a short nuzzle under Rumble's ear and pull away again. "Hey, no need to worry about that, 'Bull. I know how you feel... and I know perfectly well that you don't share the same preferences as me. But I'll still be here for ya, pal."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Nov 27, 2013 18:04:11 GMT -5
Rumble smirks and pats Teemo's head in a friendly manner. "Thanks bud. I'll be here for ya too, so you can drop by my workshop whenever ya want to."
He quickly scans the area in case anyone was looking, then he turns towards the scout again and gives him a short hug, breaking it when he heard footsteps in the hallway. The mechanic turned his head and saw the doctor making a turn and walking towards the pair. He quickly collected himself and placed his hands on his knees as the doctor approached.
"Hello, you must be the two champions that the receptionist called me down for. Come, I have a room ready for you two."
Post by The Swift Scout on Dec 1, 2013 22:17:36 GMT -5
Teemo is caught off guard for a moment with the hug, but before he's able to return it warmly Rumble has already released him, the doctor making his way down the hall. When the two champions are addressed, the scout gets to his feet as quickly as his bad ankle will allow and stands at attention. "Yes sir," he says with a certain matter-of-factness that shows his years of hard training, though shortly after his shoulders relax and he turns to Rumble with that same warm smile, offering the other yordle a hand in get out of his seat.

((To the guy who's interested in my role: Message me if you wanna talk about this, because even though I'd still prefer to keep the role, I feel like a jerk posting one day before the three week cutoff, and you probably have more time than I do roleplaying. Finals stuff and college apps craze hit me the past few weeks.))
Rumble takes his friend's hand and lifts himself out of the seat. He winces once and grunts when his injuries gives off a slight moment of pain, but the mechanic tries his best not to show his reaction to Teemo and the doctor. "Heh, thanks doc. Glad the wait wasn't too long," he chuckles, attempting to sound as healthy as possible.
The doctor sets his clipboard on the table after the three yordles arrive at the hospital room. Rumble hops onto the mattress and sits on the edge, occasionally glancing at Teemo to make sure the scout's ankle wasn't hurting too badly.
"Alright, all of the other doctors and nurses are occupied with other patients, so I'll have to treat you both," the doctor states. "I need to grab some materials from my office, so while I'm gone, I want you two to decide who'll get treated first. Try not to fight over it too much," he chuckles jokingly. The doctor leaves the room and closes the door behind him, leaving Rumble and Teemo alone together in the room.

Teemo does his best to help Rumble walk to the room and climb onto the mattress without hurting himself, then crawls up on his own. When the doctor is in the room he does his best to appear healthy and unharmed, and he gives a firm salute as the doctor exits.
When the doctor leaves, however, the captain sighs and lays back against the wall, his eyes relaxing and appearing very tired all of a sudden. "It's times like these where I remember just how tiring it is, going out to... eradicate anything that threatens Bandle's lifestyle and then at the same time trying to keep the rest of your life in order. It's been a while since I've been able to just lay back and rest." He turns his head to glance over at Rumble with that same warm smirk.
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Dec 19, 2013 1:08:01 GMT -5
Rumble smirks back at Teemo, then lies on top of the mattress and folds his hands on his belly. He stares at the ceiling and sighs, appearing to be lost in thought for a few seconds.
"Yeah, I getcha. With trouble arising in other parts of the world, I've been real preoccupied buildin' and testin' war machines. That's all these hands are good for," Rumble mutters. "War."
He looks at his hands for a moment with a slight amount of disgust, then sighs and flips himself over onto his belly so that he's facing towards Teemo. "Sure, I built Tristy to show what real yordle tech is capable of. She was a real success, people still love her and I and all that stuff. I still like workin' on her and buildin' weapons occasionally, because it makes me feel mighty 'n powerful, but there's a point where all this weapon crafting just gets way too outta hand and you just gotta ask yourself, 'Why?'"
The mechanic sits on the edge of the bed again and looks at the floor gloomily for a moment, but he turns and smirks warmly at his friend again. "That's why I like buildin' trinkets in my free time. Because they're useful, it's relaxing, and I know they won't be used to kill others. It's my way of layin' back and resting," he chuckled.

Teemo pauses, going deadpan to think over Rumble's words for a few minutes before showing a small smile. He hops off of the mattress onto his good foot and carefully makes his way to a comfy seat next to it, leaning back on it casually and nodding. "I guess you're right. But in this day and age you can never be too careful when it comes to preparing for possible threats. I know the Void won't be holding back if they do show up. Oh, by the way, you're gonna go first this time. At least that way you won't be here all alone when they drag me off to get my foot looked at."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Dec 21, 2013 2:44:34 GMT -5
"Eh? I thought we were both bein' examined in the same room, weren't we? The doctor said he's the only one free after all-"
Before Rumble could finish his sentence, the door opened and the doctor walked right back in, carrying some extra medical supplies and some papers. He set the supplies down, picked up the clipboard, and began writing on the papers. "So, have you two decided who'll be first?"
"Yeah, that'll be me doc," Rumble stated.
"I see. You'll have to take off your shirt and pants then if you want me to inspect the cuts. Are you sure you're okay with your friend being here while you're doing that?"
Without thinking about it too much, Rumble said, "Oh, er, yeah! That's fine, I don't mind it if he stays," he chuckled. It was a rather impulsive response which caused the doctor to glance at the mechanic for a short moment.
"Alright, suit yourself then," the doctor chuckled. Rumble took off his shirt and laid it on the mattress. Before the mechanic could take off his pants though, the doctor glanced up at Rumble again and noticed the bandages wrapped around the yordle.
"You'll have to take off the bandages too if you want me to disinfect your wounds and take out any small pieces in them. If the wounds are really bad, they'll probably need stitching up as well."
"Oh? Oh yeah! Righto," Rumble said, as he began to unwrap the bandages around his upper body. The doctor wrote down a few more notes before glancing at Teemo and speaking to him.
"It's been some time since you've last been here, Captain. Are you just here for a checkup, or have you been injured in some form again?"
