[Someone is waking up in his bed, a dull throbbing still registering faintly at the back of his head. And something else... the coppery scent of blood.]

... nnngh.

[Touches an unhurt portion of his cheek by his jaw for just a few seconds.]

I am aware of that.

[Well, this conversation is going nowhere. But leans into the touch]

Are you going to do anything about it?

[Pulls back.]

I have to find out what happened. There were others there; they must have shown up after you were struck by the bear. Perhaps I owe them nothing more than an apology for their involvement, but I have to find out.

[Also, have to check on my sister but I'm not bringing that up to you just yet...]

[Looks away and runs a frustrated hand through his hair. I hate you forever.]

...there were others?

[Then shakes his head]

Fine. Go.

[That frustrated stance doesn't escape him.]

Ah, Kamui and Ricochet.

[Hesitates before meeting his eyes this time.]

Suzaku... What we promised the other day, I have not forgotten it. We will talk when this is answered.

[Studies him for a moment before answering in a fairly non-committal fashion]

All right.

[Somehow, I don't think you believe me. But I guess I deserve that.

Also, I probably need to go. Change my clothes.]

If Nunnally asks what happened to you, do not lie but do not expand on the subject either. And try to rest. You are lucky to have escaped more serious trauma.

[Man, I keep getting ordered around today :/. Stays back to clean up the bandages]

I'll try.

[They're important ones! Also, disappearing back down the hall.]
