[AFTER EVERYTHING indeed. Yasusada's probably slowly on his way to the medbay, because sometimes there's a Charizard.
His own emotions probably answer her question well enough; sadness mixed with resignation, on top of lingering physical pain. Still, he smiles at her, holding out his hand for her to take. It's not the happiest of smiles, but his emotions do seem genuinely buoyed by her company, if only a little.]
I'll be alright. [But, in truth--] ...I'd hoped he would be saved, too.
[ yams, your Crisp. she'll tag along then, make sure he safely gets there. when his hand is held out she takes it almost immediately, a very gentle hold. ]
..I had hoped so, too. [ after what happened last week.. ] I wonder.. why last week was different, to this week? Was it because.. it was too late, for Malik?
[ it's such a sad and painful thought to have. but what if that was the reason why? or was it something else entirely? ]
[Sweet birb... he appreciates the handholding, for sure.]
I'm not sure what else it could be. [Not that there's no other possibilities, but if there are, he has no idea about them.] I'd wondered if maybe it's because Percy and Vax both survived, but... I don't know if we'll ever know for sure.
You don't really expect the, investigating to.. get dangerous, too.
[ well, there was that time when Clarte and her had occasional shocks to them but... nothing like a fire-breathing dragon. ] I'll come with you the rest of the way, if that's okay?
[He almost points out that Kashuu got stabbed in the leg by broken Buzen but he. Does not because he doesn't want to remind her about Buzen being dead.]
It was pretty surprising... I'm glad Esti-san was there.

We'll.. we'll figure it out. [ hopefully... she gingerly squeezes his hands. ] I hope, you're not in too much pain.

I'm okay. I'm going to use one of those pods, after this.

[But he nods!!]
Sure, if you aren't busy. I'd like that.
