landing party ( for thecanarylives )
[ He comes to with his head pounding, his vision blurred, and a persistent ringing in his ears. It takes him a while-- a good while, maybe seconds or maybe minutes, to even regain his vision properly, and to take in his surroundings. He's in a shuttle, which is completely wrecked, panels broken and burnt, wires hanging from everywhere, sparks going off and small fires here or there. They're also tilted forward slightly, so he can feel his weight pushing against the belts keeping him strapped to his chair. He looks beyond the window and he sees a lush forest just outside, trees and blue skies as far as the eye can see. It'd be pretty if not for the fact that they've clearly crashed on the planet they were supposed to land on.
Shit. Holy shit, they crashed. How the fuck did they crash? Leonard just wanted to gather some samples from the surface, it didn't even warrant a landing party bigger than two people, how the fuck did they end up like this?
That thought gets his brain into gear. Because he's not alone. He looks over to find Sara passed out, though at least thankfully still strapped to her seat. He lets out a shuddered breath, trying not to panic as he struggles to undo his own safety belt. ]
Sara!! Come on, you piece of shi-- [ His panicked grousing is cut off as his belt comes undone, and he just barely manages to brace himself against the controls rather than slam right into them. Head still spinning, he nevertheless forces himself to stumble towards her, looking her over briefly for possible injuries before he cups her face, trying to wake her up. ] Sara. Hey, can you hear me? Come on, open your eyes...

[ Her voice is a low murmur, a light, if not drowsy smile on her lips that falters as her eyes droop again.
Flinching a little when he draws closer, she furrows her brow and waves a hand to swat his scanner away, nose wrinkling. ]
M'fine. Quit- [ She shifts to lean her good shoulder against the wall, eyelids fluttering as she musters enough energy to focus on his features. ]
Just a little tired.
no subject
Alright. I get it, I know you are.
[ He still doesn't feel too sure about letting her sleep, but at this point, what can he do? So he helps her settle into a slightly more comfortable position, finding another blanket to put it over her. ]
You'll need to eat something in a moment. How about a quick nap while I get that ready, alright? I'll wake you up.
[ He'll scan her every two minutes if need be, but he tries to tell himself that the readings are fine, and that she should be alright. ]
no subject
M'not hungry. [ She murmurs, curling up under the blanket and blinking a few times. ]
Where'd we land on that whiskey.
no subject
[ Especially if she's going to fall asleep on him, at least she'll have some food in her, another source of energy to sustain her and help her recover a little better from her injuries. In a few hours he'd look into those again and figure out what he can use of his tools to heal her to the best of his ability. ]
You're gonna have to wait to be back on the ship for that. Sorry, darlin', [ He shrugs at her, only vaguely apologetic. The last thing she needs is getting drunk right now. ]
no subject
[ She musters up a small smile, glancing at him from the corner of her eye and then shutting her eyes a moment as another wave of dizziness grips her. Wrinkling her nose, she reaches for her water bottle and tips her head up to take a few sips. ]
You're less fun on the ground, y'know that? [ she teases, setting the bottle down and resting her head against the blanket. ]
no subject
[ He's sure that's not much of a surprise to her. She's been on enough away missions to know how that goes, and the rations are meant exactly for emergencies such as this one. Good thing they have some, though, because Leonard can't be completely sure that what they'll find around here, flora and fauna both, would be safe to eat. ]
Hardly the time to be havin' fun, don't you think? [ He shoots her a glance, picking up the regenerator again and finishing his work on his own superficial cuts and scrapes. ]
no subject
[ She lets out a slow breath, eyes drooping just slightly again before she narrows her gaze on a spot on the wall and furrows her brow to focus her attention there. It helps ground her vision just a little, at the least, his words echoing in a murmured delay in her head. ]
We're stuck in a cave on a planet with no wifi, Doc. The hell else are we supposed to do with ourselves?
[ With some effort, she shifts her attention to him, watching him curiously a moment. ]
You're more fun than you let on. We both know that.
no subject
[ He shoots her an amused look, though, eyebrow lifted. He understands that sentiment all too well, alas they're not in a position to be picky. ]
Stay quiet, lay low, rest, recover and wait until it's safe to go out. [ He says as he finishes healing the last of his minor injuries, putting his tools back into the medkit. His shirt's fairly dirty too, so he takes it off and replaces it with the other black sweater in the bag. ] Yeah, well, I can be fun when I'm not stranded on a planet I've just crashed on, treatin' my pilot for a concussion and a fractured rib, while we wait for an indeterminate amount of time until someone comes to rescue us. Sorry, just not in a great mood to be havin' fun right now.
no subject
[ She smiles up at him innocently, shifting a little to tug her bag towards her and start digging around for a package of food. It's not all that exciting - Almost like a granola bar mixed with a cookie but with less flavor and texture. She pouts as she unwraps the thing, taking a begrudging bite and a sip of some water to wash the stuff down.
She watches him move around, shrugging her good shoulder and chuckling. ]
As opposed to the regular fantastic and totally not grumpy mood you're usually in, you mean?
no subject
It's an idea. Not sure if a good idea, but toss it at Scotty. Maybe he'll take it as a challenge.
[ Replicators are capable of amazing things, after all. Leonard's not so sure he'd like that, he'd much rather have hot, freshly-baked pizza, preferably from an old-fashioned wood-fired oven. Not that he can afford to be that picky while on board a starship.
With a sigh, he finds himself a ration bar as well, then settles down next to her, back resting against the wall of the cave. It's not too cold yet at least, thankfully, so he doesn't wrap himself in blankets just yet. Soon enough he'll have to build them a decent fire, though. ]
Hey, I'm not always grumpy, but just because I've never been the life of the party that doesn't mean I'm awful company, [ He huffs, further complaining, which... sort of contradicts what he's saying right now. After a moment's silence, though, he adds. ] I'm sorry you're stuck with me down here.
no subject
[ She smirks, shifting over a bit to give his legs room to sprawl out when he settles in next to her. Unraveling some of the blanket around her shoulders, she tosses it over his lap and settles back down, humming a light laugh at his grumbling. ]
Never said you were awful company, Doc. [ The shifting around, however slight, brings with it another bout of dizziness and she rests her head back against the blanket, shutting her eyes tightly a moment to try and re-focus. ]
Stuck? Please. Maybe I just wanted to get you alone again.
no subject
[ Scotty would be intrigued enough by the concept, probably. Even if it probably wouldn't be a particularly popular item. Leonard sure would rather have tasteless rations than some weird crap like that. ]
I know you didn't, [ He mutters, tugging the blanket over his lap and settling in as comfortably as he can. A chuckle pushes past his lips, and he nods. ]
Gee. I'm touched, but if it's all the same to you, next time let's try and skip the whole crash landing.
no subject
[ She hums a chuckle, shifting her head a bit to look up at him. ]
Hey, you're the one who wanted his samples, r'member? Maybe you just wanted to get me alone.
no subject
[ He sighs, resting his head back. ]
Wouldn't go this far to get you alone. Usually I just ask, you know. Besides, Jim was the one who paired you with me.
no subject
[ She rests her cheek on the blanket, letting her eyes droop closed after a moment. ]
Joke's on you. I'm a good time.
no subject
[ He knows what she's thinking, and it's just not a good idea at all. He bites back a smile at her last remark, not glancing at her as he answers. ]
You are, yes. Never said otherwise.
no subject
[ A lazy smile tugs at the corner of her lip, eyes still closed. She can hear the hint of a smile in his voice, though, and she chuckles softly in response. ]
You're not so bad yourself, Doc.
no subject
I wouldn't advise you smoking anything to begin with, much less so plants we barely even know.
no subject
Mm. Such a doctor.
no subject
[ He says that quietly, noting that she's falling asleep. He'll get to his feet and gather a few logs and branches from just outside the cave once she's asleep, starting on a small campfire once it starts getting dark. At least he doesn't think they'll have to worry about natives walking around here during the night, so there's that. ]
no subject
[ Her voice trails off softly and her breathing grows heavier, body relaxing into the blankets. She sleeps until the early hours of the morning, waking to the dwindling light of the fire.
If he's still asleep, she'll grab a few weapons from her pack and wander out to find them something to eat. ]
no subject
Aw, shit, you have got to be kiddin' me!
[ Cursing under his breath, he gets to his feet, holstering his own phaser and grabbing his smaller med kit as he heads out, intent on finding Sara. And hoping she's not passed out somewhere. ]
no subject
Hey! Going somewhere, Doc? [ She climbs over the downed tree in front of the cave, holding up the animals victoriously. ]
Caught us some breakfast.
no subject
I was going to go find you, [ He points out, staring wide-eyed as she walks back into the cave. He gives the animals only a passing glance, eyebrows arching almost comically. ]
Are you kidding me? What made you think it was a good idea to go out there on your own, in the state you're in?! And you don't even know if those are edible! What if they're carryin' some horrible deadly virus?
[ Also, he's not going to skin those, holy shit. Definitely not eating them either. ]
no subject
Calm down, I feel fine. Just a headache. I'd feel a hell of a lot worse if I had to eat those nutrition bricks you brought for food.
[ She flexes her bandaged shoulder, more out of discomfort from the wrapping than any real pain. Ducking back into the cave, she drops the animals in a heap and starts to rummage through a pack for a few more knives. ]
So we'll scan them for health signatures and then eat them well done. Oh, and I found you some of these. [ She tosses him a small, wrapped bit of canvas. Inside are some leaves from the plant he'd been looking for - some still rooted, some not. ]
