never stop bleeding, hiro! thats my lifes motto by which i mean yes i stopped once i was able to grab some bandages what of you? any new scars to speak of?
I think if you stop bleeding that sorta leads to death? Just a tip. Don't do that. But I'm glad to hear it.
...heh. Physical, or emotional? Pretty sure I've got a couple of both now. [Joking. He has to joke about these things otherwise he's going to think way too much about them.
ok. addendum. bleed enough for it to look impressive and then take a few weeks off to recover from the blood loss
[ but... ah. she understands that and for some weird reason, it's easier to inquire after it when they're just using text. ]
that tends to happen im sure you have plenty of people to talk about it with but if you ever need another, you know where i am im probably a bit more useful with the physical aspect though :)
There you go. Much more sound and also paints a really nice picture.
[...oh. He's...not sure how to deal with that. Hawke's like...the person he'd probably turn to if he wanted to go blow something up. The person who dragged a dragon around Cerealia. The person he'd probably trust to ask for recommendations of his first drink if he even survives here long enough.
So this is new.]
I appreciate the offer, Hawke, but it's okay. You don't have to be my trauma-buddy for me to still like you :D [It's a quick wry little quip. He has half a mind to actually tell her because she's so far removed from everything else in his life...but that's also not fair. Not after what he's learned about her and not knowing she knows about Tadashi's death in the first place. So he stalls again before continuing.] You might be a good person to ask though. How bad do puncture wounds look after they've healed over?
[ she knows that, weirdly enough. she knows that she's the person who isn't there for... emotional connection -- and she'd rather not, if she's honest! but she's still compulsively a good guy and finds herself offering the olive branch anyway. she's not offended when it's not taken, of course. ]
what a relief. my natural charm strikes through once again!
[ she grins to herself, happy to reply to his quip with another and the question too... well, that isn't surprising either. that's what she's here for. ]
not... terrible but if youre not careful theyll scar i cant say i have much experience with the long lasting version (lots of mage healers around, you see) but if you keep it clean and covered it should leave maybe a small circle of a scar nothing you cant eventually get rid of with good skin care though why would you when scars are really what show the strength of a warrior, hiro! were you punctured ?
[The offer's there and that's what counts. He appreciates it, but he appreciates Hawke rolling with it anyway.
That answer's not exactly what he wants to hear, but he'll take it.]
Nah, I'm just asking for fun. [A pause.]
It's a long story…I got it mostly taken care of so it stopped bleeding out there early on the second to last day we were stuck in that place behind the wall. I'm going to have someone else look at it but figured I should probably prepare myself. I can deal with a small circle, the blade of the rapier isn't that big.
Believe it or not, this actually does have a point to what I really want to ask you.
you were stabbed by a rapier and took it? pretty brave of you
[ hawke talks a big game but she's well aware of her own standards versus anyone else's. no one else has a death wish like hawke, why hold other people to her level? she's suitably impressed by hiro because of it. ]
I didn't exactly have a choice. It was either take it and fight back, or die. I can't die here. Not when I have to keep other people alive.
[Like Tadashi. He's reckless and young and far too willful for his own good and puts himself in death-defying situations often enough, but for all of that he really doesn't want to actually get himself killed.]
Something more than that because the circumstances around the stabbing are kinda crazy. Have you met anybody who wore their mask while we were down in that dark area?
It's never a clear revival. I've talked to somebody about it once, not something I'm too interested in experiencing myself.
That's exactly what it was. The masks...I mean some of them made people go completely crazy. The girl I fought? Her mask made her think she really had to prove herself in order to matter and that's why she tried to kill me. Other people were really off-balance, I can't figure out what the pattern behind it is. But it's kind of what I want to start researching next.
That's why I want to talk to everybody who went down there.
nothing comes without a price, i suppose. for ceres, multiple prices!
thats... pretty odd. i can sense the logic there as a warrior but its not a mentality id inflict on an innocent kid like you, hiro. pardon the sentimentality but i am relieved you only escaped with a scratch if thats the case.
hard to get everyone in one space at a time. are you going to make a network post then?
I'll tell you about it sometime, it was actually a little disturbing to hear second-hand.
And...thanks, I guess. Honestly if Yang hadn't helped me activate my aura a while ago and train me it'd probably be more than a scratch. Plus Yu helped heal most of it when we were out there. It's just. I get it. I get why Weiss is mad and everything but it's not really something I want to deal with ever again.
[Good job accidentally name-dropping, buddy.]
It won't be that hard if we make a post, buuuut...I'm not exactly the right person to do it. I've got a couple of eyes on me that make it a little difficult, know what I mean?

not directly but i saw some fights going on that i admittedly, didnt quite understand. there were some issues, werent there? behavior changes?
