[ help. bixing gives rynlan a tired smile and waves his hand in its too big kigu sleeves. ]

I'm okay. Not any worse off than I was...when we left - really, better, considering the bandages. How're you feeling...?

[voidshift]

I wasn't hurt.

[so he's fine (: right (:

after a moment:]

...I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were actually--

[engineers]

- Nothing to apologize for, right? If there was, it'd be forgiven.

[ bixing smiles at him, though, tired but still very much lu bixing. ] It's alright. My head still hurts - I'm sure yours does, too.

[voidshift]

I know, but we saw you, we just couldn't...

[...do anything. he shakes his head.]

...it does, though, yes.

[engineers]

[ bixing does give him a little bit of a look, there - it's pleading, more than anything. please don't. ]

I'm okay. [ ... ] I had a...strange dream that I was an ancient Earth professor from a video game earlier, so... I get it.

[voidshift]

[his ears flick beneath the hood, when bixing gives him that look. he's still lowkey vibrating with worry, over here, watching him like he's a little worried something will go wrong if he looks away.]

....don't believe you're okay, but fine.

[engineers]

Probably not, but... [ he'll agree, though, fidgeting just a little and closing his eye where he's being watched. ]

...I'll be okay, and we're back here. That's all that matters.

[voidshift]

[he nods, slightly, but doesn't look any more at ease.

sometimes the last time you saw someone they (redacted) after (redacted) and then they're (redacted) and it's a bad fucking time overall.]
