[he nods.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [quietly enough that lup can't hear it:] She needs your help more.

[outsidebones]

And I will give her my help.

[...]

Did something happen between the two of you?

[agleam]

[after a moment of hesitation:]

It did, but - if she isn't ready to talk about it, I probably shouldn't, either. She didn't do anything wrong, though.

[outsidebones]

Alright.

[she'll accept that calmly.]

How injured are you, still?

[agleam]

Um...

[he glances down towards his arm.]

This isn't bleeding anymore - same with the one on my back. The bruises are all gone, too. I definitely owe you one. [as for his eye, well:] I don't think - there's a lot to be done about the rest at this point.

[outsidebones]

You don't owe me anything. It was an exchange.

[with claude. but she probably would have done it anyway.]

Perhaps additional help will be possible next week.

[agleam]

[his expression makes it fairly clear he still thinks he owes her, but he doesn't push the point. he nods, though.]

Right. But if not... I think this much will be okay.

[outsidebones]

Good. You will need to be capable of defending yourself.

[listen he can feel that way if he wants.]

[agleam]

[a slightly awkward pause]

I'd rather - not think about even the possibility of having to fight anyone right now, but I know what you mean.
