Mei looked at the new guy confused. Dark? People name their kids that now? And he was a Guardian?! Something didn't seem right, but her stomach was starting to grumble violently from lack of food. If worst came to worse, there was likely a prefect or professor roaming the halls outside. "I...just get out before the night shift nurse shows up, all right? If I lose my volunteer credits because you were caught in here without a volunteer overseeing, you'll end up looking like him," she warned Dark, motioning back to Kyo. She then turned to Kyo. "Don't let him stay too long. You need to rest. The nurses will likely have you out of here sometime tomorrow. I...uh, might see you again," she told him before moving to exit the room, keeping a suspicious eye on Dark until she closed the door behind her.

Mei nearly jumped, too engrossed in her work to notice anyone enter. She regarded the young man who had just entered. Superficially, he looked fine, so he wasn't in need of medical attention. "I...there aren't supposed to be visitors. Not until the night shift nurse gets here." She then turned to Kyo, nodding automatically to acknowledge what he said quickly, though she did not believe a word of it. She then turned her attention back to the other when he spoke again. Accident. Right.

Mei rolled her eyes, finishing up the second layer quicker than the first. "I'll bet..." she turned her gaze to the roll of bandages, almost finished from the two layers already wrapped around Kyo's head. "So...um...what did get you this bad off?" she asked, not letting her eyes meet where she knew his were under the gauze.

Mei chewed on her lip as she went to apply the second set of bandages. If there were ever a point where her awful bedside manner would fail her, it'd be now. "Not that bad....considering we're in a school full of people that know healing magic, you know?" she finally said after a couple moments of uncomfortable silence, trying to punctuate her statement with an upward inflection.

Mei kept a satisfied smile from her lips, thinking of the pain as karma. She continued about her work, applying the first layer of the bandages, making sure they fit snugly. "Oh yeah? You look like you may have gotten too much." She turned to her side, smiling to herself as she went to soak another layer of bandages.

Mei shielded her eyes from the sudden white light. "Hey, I can't work with that in the way," she told him. "Besides, you shouldn't be straining yourself with magic. Just let me get these bandages back on so you can get back to resting."

Mei let her shoulders sink, exhaling. He was complying. Good. She delicately began to remove his bandages, careful to not accidentally touch his sensitive flesh. The somatic components required for her magic made her fingerwork much more delicate.

When she finally reached the last layer, she could see the reddened, slightly blackened flesh. With proper care, his face might get back to some semblance of normal color, but the scar tissue was deep and plentiful. Even if it did heal, there'd be so many patches of scarring he'd look like a tire tread for the rest of his life. It would take a powerful white mage to fix this kind of damage.

With the bandages removed, Mei finally got a full look at his face. It was a miracle his eyelids and lips were still functioning in the red roadmap of scars and blisters. She bit her lip, not to stifle a scream, but to stop herself from asking questions. It was probably better she didn't know what happened to this poor guy. The head nurse didn't even tell her anything.

She turned slightly, opening the jar of antiseptic, dipping some fresh bandage into it. Once it was soaked, she approached Kyo's face. "This may sting a bit...if you need it, I can dull the pain for a second. Not a great option, but easier than starting a morphine drip..." Slowly, she pressed the bandage to his face, beginning to wrap it around his head.

"Ohhh no you don't," Mei said hurriedly, immediately clearing the way straight towards Kyo, trying to ease him back into bed. "You need to lay your ass back down and get some rest. Last thing you need to do is roam the halls looking like that." Bedside manner was not her strong suit. Probably for the best, she often thought.

Once she had him laid back down, Mei turned again. She took the gauze quickly and spun back around on her heel, keeping this guy in her sights. She approached him, reaching for the dried, yellowed bandages covering his face.
I originally read that as "Carolyn, due to being perfect," and thought you were being catty.
