Yes.

[



anyway

he comes over. it is slow, and he leans against the bed when he gets close enough because he is just a little twink, but still. ]


I could not... I must have fallen unconscious. When I woke up again, none of you all were there, and... [ well, after all that loss: ] I feared the worst. So... I'm heartened, to see that those anxieties were just anxieties, and not the truth.

How are you faring...? Have you taken any medication?

I will not argue with that...

[ yeah listen he is aware of his status as a healer. but he just smiles a little sheepishly, and leans against the bedpost like "see i am resting". it's a very quiet stubbornness, delivered with his usual warmth, but it remains. ]

But, I fear that I won't be able to rest at all until I've stilled some of those worries, and so, here I am. I'm not sure that unconsciousness will find me so easily once again... but, perhaps staying still may count.

Though the three of you may not be so familiar with healing practices, now that we're free of that place - but I am, you know. "Alive", I will give you. "Well", not so much.

[ probably literally and metaphorically. still, the teasing does get taair to smile, small but no less sincere, and he carefully eases himself down into the reading chair, wincing a little and then making himself comfortable. ] Beyond that - you are my friend. Of course I worry.

[ ... ]

... Do you remember much of what happened, when we were returned here?

Claude... you apparently returned as a deer creature as I returned as a suit of armor.
