[Look it's most definitely not entitlement if he just prefers working with the people he trusts!! Okay, it probably is, especially in this situation and Itsuki would understand if Nurse Bob or Scott told him to tone down the pickiness and get his ass in line, but that doesn't stop the relief that he feels when Scott totally pulls through.]
I don't know.
[he admits, releasing her once Scott takes charge. Her arm's hurt badly, but otherwise she's fine. Just skinny and underfed, with that same tired cast to her face all Westie children seem to have. She immediately relaxes when Scott helps her to the chair, though Itsuki figures that the relief on her face is from having such a hunk help her to a seat!! (no itsuki) and not because of any pain-taking shenanigans.]
And we weren't technically outside. Some company asshole was holding her arm out in the rain -- said that she tried to pick his pocket. Which she obviously didn't do. I mean, what kid from Old Town would rob from the Company when they're all foaming at the mouth?
[Most of the Company folks Itsuki's run into seemed decent, Riza (and maybe Jasck too, to a degree) coming to mind, but he's been hassled enough by others to know that a lot of them really did believe they were better than others. And with tensions running high, the jerks had more breathing room.]
She could have been there for hours before I found them.
[He doesn't actually know what the symptoms would look like if someone was out in the rain for hours, but he's sure Scott would know. anyway, more importantly, it gives good reason for Scott to totally focus on the girl!! And not Itsuki, who is fine. Even if the corner of his mouth is cut, from the punch thrown at him by that very same company asshole.]
