[He's kind of quiet, and for a second he thinks of saying something like I could take it, like he's imitating what she'd say if their roles were exchanged. Answering sentimentality with a brush-off and teenage posturing. He thinks it'd make her laugh, maybe. It doesn't feel right when it's been too long since Gideon laughed or tossed her head or postured.
He lets out a slow breath, and doesn't say anything funny. He squints at Fairyfilia instead.]
[gideon says, pulling harrow closer to her. at least she can still do sarcasm, that's fun.
hex the bone hand hops off of gideon's shoulder to wander over to thancred, and stands on his leg. hello. he is checking to see if your injuries have been dealt with.]
[He doesn't find that really surprising, honestly, but it's one of those things that's entrenched in his thoughts far enough that he almost has to keep asking, just to be sure.
Kind of like, Nav, can you still hear me, are you still there.]
though if she heard any of what he said to rynlan about how none of his injuries were from jumping in front of people, you can bet that she scrunches up into a ball and pulls the blankets over herself, so like, pros and cons.]

Looks like. [she shifts, and winces.] I still can't understand what it's saying.
[her little orange one is sitting on her head and absently braiding bits of gideon's hair.]
no subject
[Ugh.]
...Harrow's with you?
[He's pretty sure it's Harrow but he's not really interested in trying to move enough to look, so he's mostly just assuming based on context.]

...Ah. Hex.

[she says that so, so firmly. she has no way of knowing for sure, but she will tell him as many times as he needs to hear it.
hex waves an index finger. he really does seem like he's inspecting bandages like he knows what he's doing.]
no subject
[I'm assuming someone bandaged his face by now and that's probably the most noticeable place to start, so.]
Or will the scars just make me look more roguish and dashing...?
no subject
instead, he reaches with his finger and taps thancred like, there there. you're still pretty.
on the other side of the... couch? idk where they are. gideon snorts out a laugh.]
