Challenge: Someone has just gotten injured (your call as to how severely), and someone else is freaking out about it.

"Um... Jay?" Even from the dining room where he was sitting Nya sounded worried. But never fear he was here!

Jay bounced into the little office room and smiled a smile so big it took up most of his face. "Yes dear?" She laughed nervously and hid a hand behind her back, "Are paper cuts supposed to bleed?"

He frowned and regarded her with a quizzical look. "No...?..." He left it open so she could expound upon the thought.

Nya tentatively withdrew her hand from behind her back, "Ohhmiigossh!" Jay jumped at her.

She held her hand at an awkward angle as if she didn't know how she should be holding it. There was a small cut—no—almost a bite mark looking thing, across the tip of her pointer finger, blood was beading up and dribbling down her hand.

"Hey, hey, it's nothing big! Just, um, bleeding."

Jay sucked in a HUGE breath and let it out too loudly. "Nya! What in the world!"

She sighed. Oh great. Next time she was calling Kai. He would be chill about it.

"Paper cuts never bleed they just sting and then keep stinging and look weird because the skin is all weird and cut but not deep and then it takes forever to heal and just stays there forever and—"

Nya interrupted. "Yes, um, well, I didn't really get a cut. The book bit me."

Jay paused incredulously. "Bit? Did you say bit?" She nodded sheepishly.

"I was reading a book Misako lent me and it was old and a little exotic."

Jay still seemed stuck on the unimportant part. "Bit? I did hear you right? Bit?"

She waved him off, "I don't really care about that, but do you think my finger will get infected?"

Just at that moment Dereth walked in, "Has any one," And he snapped his finger at the two, winking a winning smile, "Seen my white robe with the gold trim—"

And then he caught sight of the blood.

He screamed.

A high, high pitched scream that might come from an eleven year old girl—not a forty something old man. Dareth fainted. On the green carpet, eyes rolling up into his head.

Jay turned back to Nya too concerned about her to pay much attention to the dojo master on the floor. "But you were asking about paper cuts! Not book bites!"

She cringed inwardly, "I thought you would come in if I made sense." Jay frowned, "But bleeding paper cut?" She nodded, "Yes."
At that moment Cole came tripping and yelling into the room, "Who needs saving!?" He stepped on Dareth's ankle and fell—hitting the floor with an impressive smack!

Dareth woke with a high 'Yip!' and started yelling too, "Urrahraghaa! Blooooood! Blood! Ow! OW! OWWW!"

Cole tried yelling louder then Dareth and Nya tried being louder then both of them together!

Jay slowly inched toward the door leading to the kitchen and mouthed— "I'll go get Misako."

She grumbled at him and preceded to pinch her finger to stop the blood. Dareth and Cole calmed down and a book had just bit her.
