Raiden and Kung Lao were working in the fields as usual, nothing interesting, right? Just engrossed in conversation and doing whatever. Or.. Not until one of them accidently cut their hand with the blade they were using to bring the vegetables out the ground and cut them out.

Yeah, it was Kung Lao. And surprisingly, he was able to keep silent aside from a few curse words for a few moments, but then Raiden inevitably found out. And well, he didn't buy Kung Lao's attempts to brush it off or just his lies for one second.

With the two of them already needing a break, the small "incident" nudged Raiden into making them both pause and go over to his house since it was closest. Just temporarily. He gently had definitely not forced his friend to sit as he went to rummage around for whatever he was looking for.

And, unsurprisingly, Raiden returned a few minutes later. Well, he was thankful Kung Lao was sat mostly still. Raiden set down what he was carrying which was bandages, a few wet paper towels, and various other stuff a bit hard to discern considering it was behind his arm where he then sat.

"Please stay still, but you need to be more careful, Kung Lao. You're normally rather focused, did anything change?" Raiden scolded lightly as he gently took his friend's hand he wiped away some of the blood that gathered to inspect the wound properly. He meant well and his tone was light, but he was obviously a tad concerned.
