"Girl, did you take on a truck?" Nikki yanks her hands away like Liz's skin burned her. Liz's face is sleek and pretty as always, but her back and sides are dappled with purplish bruises.

Liz shrugs, somewhat stiffly. "Rolled down some stairs. Still got him, though."

"Yeah, I'm sure the other guy looks worse." Very lightly, Nikki kisses a scrape down Liz's side. "Real nice of them to let you go home like this."

"The EMTs had better things to do than put bandaids on me." Reaching for her bra, Liz winces.

Nikki reaches up and unhooks it for her. "Nothing's broken?"

Liz tips her head forward, looking at Nikki from beneath lowered eyebrows, but Nikki just folds her arms and waits, until Liz takes some careful deep breaths. "Nothing's broken," she confirms.

"All right, then." Nikki extends a hand, smiling when Liz meshes their fingers. "Come on. I've got all the Band-aids you need."

Liz would SO run away from the EMTs. :D

*laugh* Yeah. Or, rather, saunter coolly while hiding winces.

*curtseys* Thank you. :) I'm sorry I took so long to reply -- it's been a bit of a week.

Very nice! And very sweet! I think you nailed both Liz and Nikki's voice.

I've got all the Band-aids you need."

Aw!

Hooray! Thank you, very much. :) And I'm sorry I took so long to reply. I've been rather busy.

Never a problem. I know your life is much more hectic than mine so I just enjoy our conversations when there's an opportunity to do so and when there's not I can be patient. Mostly. ;)

Aww! Tough Nikki can be tender when it comes to her Liz and Tough Liz can let herself be looked after as long as its by her no-nonsense Nikki. :-)

It took me awhile to get a handle on them, but then they just clicked wonderfully in my head. :D

(If I get a chance I have a story in my head about Liz/Nikki and Nikki/Ian...)

Interesting since I have a Ian/Colby and Ian/Nikki in *my* head! Hmm...
