[ it's not her fault, and he'd like to tell her that - he's people shy at the moment, and loathes that he twitches away from just about everyone at this time. it's been a long, stressful night for him, capped off by his fresh arrival at headquarters - he's just... been moving. and moving. it's worked so far. ]
The crew at headquarters gave me a once-over, [ he lies, smoothly and without looking her in the eye. he'd gotten bandages to patch himself up, but had avoided a full work-up. innately, he doesn't want to know what they'd find and so, he's quietly avoiding the medical diagnosis of his situation. he's busted up, that's all he knows. ]
I'll sleep when the work's done, how's that? We all have to pull our weight. Let's head on back, before we get mauled by weird birds.
[ SAID LIKE A TRUE TROOPER! as he rises to his feet and -- nearly offers her his mangled hand, but chooses instead to lean down and offer her the crook of his elbow instead. kind of like a gentlemen does when they're escorting a lady. he is DEFINITELY not a gentleman though wow!! ]
