Do you have headcanons for poly!Lolix if the reader gets injured?
I do! This is one of those requests that I received like a year ago, and am finally answering. :’I
If the reader gets injured, whatever the situation, their first focus is always on making sure the danger’s passed. If it’s a combat situation, one of them gets you out of the way, while the other either lays down cover fire or takes out the remaining hostiles.
When there’s no immediate danger… that’s one less thing to distract them from the fact that you’re hurt. Locus immediately sets his jaw and takes charge, assessing the severity of your wounds and figuring out if it’s something they can take care of themselves or if they need to bring you to a professional. Renders what first aid he can. The knot in his brow tightens a little more with every pained noise you make.Felix, meanwhile, doesn’t need to be the one holding it together right now, and is thus looking paler than usual. When he’s not focused on getting whatever Locus is telling him to get, he’s trying to find something else to do so he doesn’t have time to panic. He’s holding you, and stroking your hair, and coaxing you into squeezing his hand or biting his shoulder as hard as you need to. And all the while he’s talking talking talking, saying anything and everything that might possibly distract you from the pain.
If it’s a small injury, that’s easily handled and quickly recovered from, that’s the end of it. Maybe they both do some hovering during the recovery stages to make sure you don’t reinjure yourself somehow–Felix denying he’s hovering–but then that’s the end of it.
If it’s not a small injury… this is the sort of situation in which the “us against them” mentality really comes to the forefront. They shut off and become reclusive from the outside world for a time, and just focus inward–on you–until you’re better again. They’re colder and more hostile to outsiders than usual, and can get stand-offish even with long-time friends. More private, cagey when asked, and always hurrying to get back home. Suspicious of anyone coming near you. Similar in behavior to a broody hen, or a cat with newborn kittens.
