[He starts to get up when he hears her coming. It's an undertaking, since his healing has only just started to properly kick in, and it's not as accelerated as it could be, but he's pretty much upright by the time she makes it down the hall.]

[miraculess]

[ hears that and frowns. ...there's no way he's enough of an idiot to be moving, though, right...?

...he jumped out a window with broken ribs of course he is. a little tersely: ]

I'm back. May I come in?

[shutsdown]

[on the bright side his ribs are pretty much better by now?] Yeah, come in. [sitting with his back to the wall, when he was definitely out flat when she left.]

[miraculess]

[ hipchecks the door open. she's got a beaten-up old bag full of something-or-other that he can hear faint clinking and sloshing from. also a cup of instant kitsune oden that is still faintly steaming. ]

What happened to resting?

[shutsdown]

[cocks his head, the most exciting bit of expression he's done... basically since she met him. what are faces? what is body language?] I am resting. [he's not doing heavy lifting or anything so it's fine, obviously.]

[miraculess]

You're putting unnecessary stress on your shoulder, is what you're doing. ...At least it's good timing.

[ going to come over and hand him the udon ]

[shutsdown]

[carefully takes the udon, inhaling its scent but not visibly reacting otherwise.] It'll be fine...

[miraculess]

[ delicious shitty instant udon. it's got fried tofu and egg in it though, VERY IMPORTANT PROTEIN FOR FIXING THE BIG HOLE IN HIS SHOULDER

and it's warm. who knows how she managed that, but it is a hot meal. ]

...If you say so. However... one of us has been shot multiple times, and it isn't you.

[ unpacking waterbottles ]

[shutsdown]

That's true... Thank you, for the food. [tucking in with the air of a man half-starved]

[miraculess]

[ ...stops what she's doing for a moment to watch that, feeling oddly warmed

after a moment she remembers to respond ]

You're— you're welcome.
