"Okay," Bones replied, watching Kirk's face carefully for any traces of discomfort. The kid could manage pain unlike anyone he'd ever seen.
The hand on Kirk's cheek slid down to his chest, feeling his heart underneath the recently healed skin. Heartbeat stable. Blood pressure stable.
Bones' other hand pulled out the scanner, and with a half-smile on his face, began the familiar process of running it over Kirk's head. Neurological reading elevated, could be the meld with the other Jim, will have to check that out later.
He dropped the scanner to Kirk's left hand, still holding it carefully as he looked at the readings. The bones had healed, would be sore for another few days, but they were fused properly, strong. Bone tissues intact, periosteum fusing but slower than before... don't know what's gonna happen if he busts this hand up again.
"I want you to try and move the fingers of this hand," he asked softly, dropping the scanner to the bed, and turning to face Kirk more fully. "Show me what you got."
