i didn't want to overwhelm you when you guys got back this one in particular looked pretty bad i'm sure some of the others went to see you but i wanted to check on you and make sure you're stabilized and doing a little better just...text me back when you're feeling up to it, ok?
i guess the question then is if you want to be i get it that it's easier to organize your thoughts when you're by yourself after something like this happens but also this sounds bad in general
i mean yeah you and me both most of the time the only person you can actually trust is yourself but after something like this it's. like...harder. to know what is and isn't really a thing. i'm not the best company compared to people like nimona and hung but it's an offer if you need somebody else text is fine too i just...yeah. making sure you actually knew people want to help if you want them to
[ which is all he says before he wanders and lets himself into ox dorm? he was pretty close by, probably still at phoenix, and when he enters he's just moving to the common area and having a seat on the floor in front of her to give her some space. he's also checking her over carefully. ]
[ she looks pale and exhausted, though she at least has some focus in her eyes and firmness in her voice again. her blastia is back on her neck where it should be, and her hair is damp. it looks like she went to the effort of cleaning up and getting changed. ]
... Better. Walking hurts, but I can manage short distances.
[ she did get a bullet in her leg. it looks like that's been patched up, though. ]
[ i cannot believe it took her being in literal human meat to shower. in all seriousness, he does seem happier to see she looks slightly more alive and herself. ]
Good. I mean about the better part, not the hurting to walk. We could probably get some crutches for you or something until the wound's healed up a little more. Make it less of a pain.
If you're sure. [ but he doesn't argue because he gets what it's like to want to figure it all out yourself. at least hung is helping her. he doesn't protest to that. ]
...it's remembering everything that happened out there, right? The parts you can't just fix with healing.
I heard a little from Jolyne, but I didn't push too much. Felt a little hypocritical to demand answers about something like that when I don't always give my own. But I got the sense it was...pretty bad. And, uh, pretty gorey...
