[David has been in the infirmary since the door opened. As an inmate - both here and on the other Barge - he hasn't had access to any of the dangerous supplies, but he's done his best to keep things tidy and organized, ready for the (inevitable) flood of people who will be filing in with the injured and the dead.

When the Barge rights itself, he blinks and takes a moment to take stock of the situation before clicking on his communicator.]

The infirmary is open, and back to normal, if anyone is in need of medical attention. The death toll also appears to be functional once more.

Dr. Banner, I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

[Private to Erik]

[And now he clicks on a filter, and is providing you with a view of a cleaned up, clearly alive if unconscious Charles, tucked into a bed in the infirmary.]

I hope you're well.

[ooc: David is available for spam, but since he is not officially on infirmary duty, he doesn't have access to things like painkillers. Still, he will happily(ish...) bring you other things if you ask nicely. c:]

[David regards the hand for a moment with something like confusion, because it's just such an unexpected gesture. It's something people do for a colleague, an equal, not something you view as an appliance.

But then again, maybe it isn't, coming from Erik, and he accepts it with a small, genuine smile.

It's good to know that he can help someone, and still be treated like a person, not a thing.]

You're welcome.

[He clasps tight, maybe too tight, but that doesn't matter. He's grateful, and he only has so many ways to express himself.

Besides, David can handle a tight hand shake.

Slowly, the smile is returned. It's been a long time since he thought of David as some hideous representation of Aryan success: he's his own man, however he wants to define man.]

You don't have to stay, [he says when he finally lets go. It's not a dismissal: it's an acceptance of whatever David wants to do.]

[It's a good feeling, and it reinforces that he made the right choice. Not that he had thought it would backfire on him, but it's still good to realize.]

I've offered to assist Dr. Banner until things have calmed down. [Or until Bruce pisses him off enough to quit, whichever comes first.]

So if you're in need of anything else, I won't be too far.

[Erik nods; he doesn't say thank you again, doesn't give him more than a small smile. But he's made the gesture that needed to be made, and though he doubts he'll need anything, he trusts that David will be uncomfortably attentive.

He settles down in a chair by Charles' bedside, and waits.]

["Uncomfortably" is probably the wrong word. Erik's an adult who's more than capable of looking after himself, even if he's recovering from pretty intense personal tragedy, so he'll keep an eye out without hovering.

That said, he might drop off food at some point.]
