[It's kind of him to offer. And although he's offering in 45's and Steph's steads, she's also sure that they would make the same offer if they were speaking with her at this moment.]
But, truly... I should be alright. This is not the first injury of this kind that I have sustained - I am accustomed to it.
I figured. You took it fairly well, even with how suddenly it happened.
That doesn't mean we still can't wish for you to be in a better situation, though. Even getting a wound after your thousandth fight still hurts, right? Pulling yourself up and doing it on your own has a time and place.
[slightly lecture-ish, yes, but his voice stays gentle.]
We're not going to force you, but -- just know we're here if things start feeling rough, alright?
[People keep making a fuss - even people she does not know well.
Is it something about her? Perhaps she really does look as though she needs assistance - perhaps her brother is not overprotective at all, but just the right amount of protective.
...nah, fuck that.]
I will remember that. Thank you, Guy. I mean that.
[He'll sit up enough from his bed to nod, the same low, formal movement he'd given her on the bus. She'd already thanked him three times in about as many minutes. He can take a bit of a hint.]
Anyway.
When you're feeling up to it, you should tell me more about that little spat you apparently had with Asch. I knew he was getting into trouble, but not that much trouble.
Yeah, I agree. I think a lot of people just get fed up and walk away.
He'll get in fights, sure, but it's usually with other stubborn or hot-headed people itching for a brawl. You're pretty composed, so I guess I'm just surprised.

[She doesn't have the energy to be mad about it, though.]
...thank you for your concern.

I wish there was more I could do, but... [A pause, while he looks down at his hands. He doesn't want to push it. Not when she's hurt.]
Regardless, all of us are here for you. I'm sure 45 or Steph would be willing to help you out, if you need it.
no subject
Thank you.

He's kind of a jerk, though. Not many people stand up to him like that.
no subject
He is frustrating, not frightening.

Well, I tried to walk away. [she sighs] But sometimes it is much easier said than done.
no subject
Did he stop you, or just say something stupid enough for you to give him a piece of your mind?
no subject
He blocked the only exit and would not move. I gave him fair warning before I attempted to make him, but it seems he is very stubborn.
