What the fuck happened to you? You didn't press it, did you?
[He's sounding a lot better than he had last week...there's still a slightly hollow ring to his words, and he looks exhausted, but he sounds more like himself, at least]
I'm pretty sure whoever did it was only trying to help. Hopefully they'll come talk to me though. I'm morbidly curious and I just want to make sure it wasn't done out of cold blood.
[Shit. He should have audio'd this.] Someone is coming over. They didn't let me say no. [Meaning he wasn't.]
[Skeptical, because he's a pessimist and still doesn't hold out a lot of hope that people can be trusted not to do vicious things to you as soon as they get the opportunity. He can't help it, seventeen years of being treated like shit will do that to you] Hmm. Well...if you say so. But if they did do it out of cold blood, just make sure you do something about it...
[His eyes narrow a little further] Tch. If you're injured you see a healer, what the hell do you think you're gonna achieve by keeping quiet and putting up with it [Says the hypocrite who will never ask for a healer, no matter how badly he's hurt. Its a different matter when its someone else, though] You are gonna let them in, right?
[Dick is a huge optimist. And he doesn't know anyone here yet that would go out of their way to kill him as of yet.] It's the past. I rather not make an issue of it since I'm alive now.
I just don't really want people to see me like this. Which is why I should have gone audio. [But more spilled milk and he isn't going to make that an issue either.] Of course. It would be rude of me not to. I don't have the strength to really stop anyone getting in right now anyways.
[That concept is vaguely confusing to him, given that he has such a difficult time letting go of things that happened in the past, but he's fairly used to being confused by humans at this point] I guess. But it'd be better to find out for sure...just in case.
[He nods; he understands that...he doesn't like people to see him looking weak and vulnerable...sort of like he was last week, albeit mentally] Yeah, well, you didn't. And good...how badly are you hurt, anyway?
[Darc must be constantly confused about Dick. Dick seems to be really good at confusing him at the very least.] I'm hoping I can find out who did it. But I'm not going to do anything to them.
I...don't know? I have a lot of bruises everywhere. I'm pretty sure I have a few internal injuries of some sort.
[Friendly, optimistic types confuse him the most, and yes, Dick has bemused him since they first met...what he just said really isn't helping matters] Well, why the hell wouldn't you do anything to them, if they hurt you intentionally? [Though secretly? Darc has a very bad - good? - habit of frgiving people who betray him...one of his allies in his home world even literally stabbed him in the back and left him to die, and he still forgave her. He sees this as a terrible character flaw in himself, however...a sign that he's actually weak]
Huh...well...let me know if you need anything more after the healer you're seeing comes over. I can heal minor injuries, but not the deep, internal stuff, or broken bones or anything. [There's a pause] And I'm only offering because I have nothing better to do right now, obviously...[Because god forbid that he seems like he cares!]
[Dick is exactly that type. Whoops, forever confusing you Darc.] Because it isn't going to change the fact that I died. I mean, all I can say is 'don't do it again' or something, but what's done is done. Forgive, forget, and move on. [Dick forgives practically everyone. There might be some instances where he almost didn't. But Dick is such a huge softie in the end.]
That's nice of you to offer. Thanks. [There's a slight ghost of a smile. Dick isn't quite up and running enough to go smiling like an idiot quite yet. But it's obvious he's appreciative.]
[Darc is also a massive softy, but this is something he likes to try and hide from people at all costs] Hmm. Well...if you let people get away with that kinda stuff, they have a tendancy to just do it again [At least, they do in his experience...
[He looks faintly flustered, but he's obviously trying to cover it, making his voice extra gruff, etc] Hmm. Well...the offers there if you need it, or whatever...
[Darc's not particularly good at it, once you learn to read his mannerisms its fairly easy to work out how he actually feels about anything] Well...what if they don't feel bad? What if they really wanted to see you suffer? Then what?
[He can't help it, he doesn't even know how cute he is...and would be furious if anyone suggested he was! It doesn't help that Dick's words are making him feel even more flustered...he runs a hand back through his hair and averts his eyes, scowling as he tries to look tough and unaffected] Hmm. Well...like I said, its just that I don't have anything better to do, right now...
[Dick is really good at that. On the account, he's terrible at hiding his own mannerisms.] Then I guess I try to avoid them. I'm not going to lash out because someone wants to lash out at me I guess.
[You're adorable Darc. Stop being adorable or people will say you are. But at least you got Dick to smile a little. It makes him feel better.] Yes. But it's nice of you nonetheless. I'm sure you have friends that might need you around though.
[He looks mildly exasperated...even if he does generally forgive people who hurt him, he isn't proud of it] Tch. Humans. You make no sense at all.
[You're just going to make him more confused and flustered talking like that, Dick! 'Nice' isn't something a deimos is supposed to be, and while he has accepted that he's half human, it still makes him feel a little uneasy] I'm hardly nice. And...the real healers are better suited to handle serious stuff, I'm better at hurting that healing. [Which is true...only a lot of the time he feels bad about it, later]
I guess we don't. [He doesn't understand people either. Yay for not even understanding his own race.
Oops. he doesn't mean to confuse you or anything. He just seems to be a natural at doing it.] But you're respectful. [Shrugs a little.] I can only do first aid things. I guess if I could heal people, I would do it all the time though.

[Dick sounds and looks pretty bad. He's too tired to even give the other a reassuring smile that he's okay.] I'll recover.

[His still very slightly vacant eyes look the other over, then narrow a little] Yeah well...are you gonna see a healer, or something?

[Oh Darc. Stop being cute.] I'll keep it in mind. You don't know how appreciative I am of people offering to help me right now.
