[ He looks at her like initially, he wants to rebel against this, that drinking water isn't going to undo that the inevitable occurred and someone was erased --
But he sighs, a little aggressive but contained, drinking soberly. He knows she's just trying to help. ]
Yes. [she answers, firmly. her ankle's a little broken but nahri's going to fix that so she's not worried about it.] And you are, too. Vash and Nahri are.
[and that doesn't really change the fact that someone got erased, but shenhe didn't know him, and so she doesn't care.]
[ You know what... that's the biggest mood yet. Enough so that it makes Wolfwood let go of his own tension a little bit, replacing it with tiredness. ]
And I tried to punch down an invisible barrier. No give for either of us, apparently.
[ Well... he looks around for what they can use then. Maybe a branch and/or a piece of broken furniture or painting easel from Wednesday, one of their towels, and a belt from his cross will do. ]
[and they're both strong! so those barriers were bricks.
she sighs.]
No, I don't mind. [when he asks, that's about the point that she actually looks tired, too. she was forced to have a good night's sleep, but even that can only do so much.]
[ Yeah. He's gotten more sleep last night than he has this entire past week, and yet he feels worse than ever. He doesn't like it when he's forced to do things, even those things might be for his own good. ]
Alright, let's get you fixed up then. Nothing worse in trying times than feeling like it's hard to get away.

You're alright.
[ It's kind of a question, kind of a statement. ]
no subject
[and that doesn't really change the fact that someone got erased, but shenhe didn't know him, and so she doesn't care.]
You're angry.
no subject
I guess angry can be a word for it.
[ He wonders how else to describe. Anger might be an emotion for something unexpected. Being trapped made him angry.
Hikari dying doesn't make him angry, exactly, but still. ]
Maybe I might be. Didn't like getting trapped in a place without warning.
no subject
I didn't either. [she says, voice a little tight.] I was...
[she stops, here, folding her arms.] I think I was scared.
[and scared comes out as violence, for her, so. he has bruises, and she understands that.]
no subject
It's fine to be scared.
[ Grumbled. It's never wrong to be scared. ]
no subject
[granted, it was muted, like everything else, but it was new enough.] Interesting.
no subject
[ Maybe might be the only reason he still bothers having them. Is her broken foot like... obvious... he's pretty attentive. ]
no subject
... Mm. [hoo boy, that resonates with her, so she's quiet.]
no subject
You hurt yourself, right? Your broken foot.
[ He read the text. ]
You need a splint.
no subject
[...] Nahri can heal it later, but until then, a splint is acceptable if we have the materials.
no subject
[ Well... he looks around for what they can use then. Maybe a branch and/or a piece of broken furniture or painting easel from Wednesday, one of their towels, and a belt from his cross will do. ]
You mind me touching your leg?

No, I don't mind. [when he asks, that's about the point that she actually looks tired, too. she was forced to have a good night's sleep, but even that can only do so much.]
