Ah, the police. Mm, perhaps we could... not? That would invite so many questions.

[ charles beckons for alfred to walk in step with him, taking visual stock of him and his steam-related injury. ]

You'll let me look at that first, at least? I am a doctor, after all.

Well we can't very well leave him where he is, when he wakes up he won't be happy about getting knocked unconscious.

[Alfred flexes his hand a little.]

It's fine for now, I've been hurt a lot worse.

[minded]

We could make him happier about it? Mr Pennyworth. Alfred — may I call you Alfred? — we could just ask him to forget it all. No harm done except to himself, yes?

And oh, no. Having been hurt worse before does not mean you're hurt any less. Let me see?

[flippin_peachy]

Yes, just Alfred is fine. And do you really think he'd agree to forgetting everything if you were to ask him?

[He sighs and shows Charles the burn, it isn't bad, just red and in need of some cool water.]

[minded]

It's at the very least worth a decent and enthusiastic try. We won't know if it works until we do, yes?

[ optimism in endless amounts, truly. ]

I suppose that's true. But should he get aggressive again I will call the police to come take care of him, deal?
