Jack and Owen are playing some game upstairs that involves lots of yelling and thumping. A few minutes ago, they came down to the kitchen, rooted around in a drawer and ran some water.
Jack said something I couldn’t really hear. Then, I heard Owen say, “I think we should wait to start playing again until I staunch the flow of blood.”

Update about 10 minutes later: I hear them come clomping down the stairs. Jack is breathing heavily, kind of gasping. Then Owen says, “Jack, you’re not screaming in agony, so I don’t think anything is broken.”
