obviously he wasn't able to come in after the lucas affair to check on her injuries, but it's obvious what she's missing. at least he's easy to hear, preceded by the taps of his cane as he comes to sit by her bed. ]
That's right. [ waves a hand in the range of her vision. ] ...The spring's effects are potent.
[ her injuries are doing better today than yesterday for sure, like 50% recovered... bandages are still covering her left forearm, right upper arm, chest and abdomen under her hospital gown. ]
...Thank you for visiting. You should be resting, but... I'm relieved you're here.
[ he hesitates a long moment, but because he's less of a mess than he was before, he will carefully place his hand in hers. this is only because she is INJURED... and he hasn't really been around to help. he is paying reparations with handholds. ]
I've gotten plenty of rest.
[ she's probably doing even worse just stuck here. he loves to lay facedown on the ground, unmoving. ]
...Though I do understand there's some comfort in confirming people's well being for yourself.
[ his paw runs a bit cool, and it's quite calloused, but hopefully it will suffice. ]
[ okay tsundere... also HELP WHAT IS HE SO USELESS FORRR GET OFF THE FLOOR KING!!!
she gives his hand a gentle squeeze, hanging on for really just a moment before she releases him. she just wanted to confirm he's really there, and won't be too selfish even if ideally she'd just hold his paw the entire time. if only so he's not just a voice in the darkness. ]
anyway god she doesn't have to be so considerate, he will just leave his paw there. he doesn't actually care about physical touch—it doesn't bother him any more than emotional closeness does. and most importantly, she could use it right now. ]
[ HE JUST LEAVES HIS PAW THERE... well okay then she continues to hold it lightly, just a sort of lingering contact. she smiles a little, though it's more to herself than to him. ]
...You don't have to.
[ ... ]
I ventured into someone else's memories, I believe. Though I don't think the details aligned exactly.
[ they were students of Tokyo Jujutsu High, sent on a mission to escort a young girl who was imperative to the safety of their world...
they didn't succeed, and sustained grave injuries while the girl herself died and became a cursed spirit. they were trapped in her domain for some time, and in that domain they experienced a completely different lifetime. (an au within an au...) ]
Eventually we became aware of ourselves again, but... it all ended abruptly.
[ CONTINUE DRAWING ATTENTION TO IT AND HE WILL STOP for now though he patiently receives a summary of jujutsu kaisen season 2 ]
...I see.
[ a pause. ]
I'm sorry for what happened to her. Even if it wasn't real. [ he assumes someone like aqua probably takes her escort missions and charges turning into horrible curses seriously. ]

...I'll be fine. If anything I'll heal faster this way.
[ (not quite as fast as dying but, you know. she's taking endgame week into consideration.) ]
But what about you? I heard from Lucas...
[ her hands curl into the edge her blanket. upsetti... ]

I'm fine. My symptoms lasted less time than yours, or I wouldn't be here.
[ his voice is staid, and even if she could see it, his expression doesn't give much away. ]
I'm sure he's upset enough for the both of us.
