She shook her head, laughing good natured. "You aren't bed ridden. You should leave them unwrapped while you're resting but on stage it will help keep your ability to perform from suffering."
Gloria was still feeling over his ribs and shrugged. "They feel bruised. That needs to heal on its own time." She knew he had a job to do and considered it. "Icing it before doing anything physical and I can show you a way to lay that will reduce the swelling. Try eating more meat and dairy for awhile. It will help you heal. You should get some practice singing with your ribs bound before you go back on stage. The area, even without the binding, will feel stiff for awhile."
There's nothing to her tone other than kindness. The thanks gets a quiet giggle as she digs in her medical bag. "Back home there's a bike gang I've spent some time with. I've seen your type before and dealt with more than enough men who pretend like they are too tough for everything, including needing a doctor."
She has a sweet spot for men like Viktor because they were the few in her life than never discouraged her from being who she wanted to be. The smile she has is bright and genuine because it is serious but it is also little teasing. "You're no less a person in pain because you act like a tough punk. I've seen a lot of tough situations and the ones on the street aren't as useless as people think."
