[well that punishment was short lived. thanks to his nifty regenerating abilities, his mangled hand mends itself in seconds upon his waking, and he's now using it to flip through the mail whilst balancing the phone between his cheek and shoulder like nothing was ever wrong.]

That would make two occurrences in a row where people have returned with

Growing out of your clothes already? They really do grow up so fast...

[sorry bro didn't bring you back a souvenir]

[decadenzas]

[YOU]

Death truly doesn't cure empty-headed idiocy, does it. [IN CHARLES SPEAK hhnnn why would you get yourself killed and then try to start a normal conversation don't even]

[is_an_island]

Well, it'd be pleasant if America came back smarter, but he doesn't. [england talk for i have no idea what you are going on about]

I'm not bad with a needle and thread. I could patch up your things, really, and then we can go shopping for grown-up clothes like suits.

[decadenzas]

It'd be pleasant if it worked that way for you. [not letting this slide so easilyyy.]

...I don't need to shop for new clothes, but if you wouldn't mind helping with this shirt, it would be greatly appreciated.

[is_an_island]

I'll come over with my kits, then.

I've been wanting to visit, anyway. You had me worried.

[decadenzas]

I had you worried? Last time I checked, I wasn't the one being carted off and shot in the middle of the night.

[HANGS UP and goes to sit and wait like a bitter thing at the kitchen table.]

[is_an_island]

[... strange!!

but gathering his things and crankily carrying himself to the house. After a few minutes, there is a very polite KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]

[decadenzas]

[crankily and wordlessly opens the door, stepping to the side to let him in. his right sleeve pretty much looks like some rabid dog got ahold of it and tore it to pieces. good luck patching that!]

[is_an_island]

[scooting in]

I'm not here for your sake so take off your shirt.

[decadenzas]

[well that didn't sound creepy at all. does so and tosses it on the table before ambling off to get that shirt HK gave him a while back. good thing he never bothered bringing that to his closet.]

Don't mess it up, that's my favorite shirt.

[is_an_island]

[sitting himself and getting out his kits he takes sewing very seriously]

I might have to use some patches. Would you like teddy bear patches or ladybug ones?

[decadenzas]

Neither. I said don't mess it up.

[pulling up a chair to better scrutinise and pick apart your work like the grateful person he is]

[is_an_island]

[sewing sewing sewing]

Are you all right?

[decadenzas]

[WATCHING so very carefully] That's a rather strange question for you to ask.

[is_an_island]

Ah, well... I wasn't paying very careful attention for the last part of the week, so... I was wondering if you were doing all right.

[this is so awkward]

[decadenzas]

Well it makes sense that you weren't paying attention for part of it, considering you were a bit dead. [do you hear the bitterness]
