No, I'm not okay. Facial bruises like highways, but that's nothin'; I ain't complaining.

Some things are better you do not know, Teddie.

I need material to cover the gash on my cheek.

[And Teddie runs off from his comm with a panicked 'Sensei! Senseeeeiiii! Do we have any bandages?']

[Action? Though I won't be able to reply shortly; I need to go out.]

I wouldn't permit myself a demise like that. My death will be grand...

The shipyard off Horton Lane. I'm in the three story building, first floor.

[ooc: Sounds good. I might be slow with replies since I'm on cleaning and cooking duty all day XD]

The shipyard? I know that place! It's the one that smells like fish!

And after leaving a note for his friends as to where he's gone, he runs as fast as his squeaky little blue paws will carry him, carrying some torn up, clean bits of cloth he'd been able to grab ( ... )

He was a black shape sat on the metallic steps ascending from the ground floor, his partially slumped silhouette outlined with yellow light falling through the cracks in the boarded windows. The atmosphere was still and what little illumination gave form to the old interior was textured by dwindling motes of dust.

His arms were coiled around a guitar case poised vertically in between his knees, his skull eased against a wall. his breathes were shallow. He was asleep.

Toshi came to immediately, not upon hearing his name but once bear neared his vicinity. He looked at the being for several seconds before speaking.

"Here. The stairs." The man shifted nothing more than his eyes. "There's a gash on my cheek... Fucker keeps openin'..."

Teddie hurried to the silhouette without hesitation, but almost froze when he saw the gash. It wasn't the first time he'd seen a wound, and certainly not among the worst either. If he had access to his Persona, he wouldn't even need to bother with the bandages, Dia would close that up right away.

But his face was most striking. Teddie had never seen someone who looked so hollow. Adachi came close, but this was something way beyond the bear's simplistic understanding.

"I brought clean bandages. It's all I could find. Did you get in a fight with a monster?"

His mute gaze regarded Teddie as he fell into another short interim of quiet. A tired eye flickered, pursing then unveiling his dark pupil like a nervous tick. His recent electrocution still held a measure of sway over his features, rendering his deposition in erratic, faint shifts.

"Yeah," he replied, truthfully; the man he fought was a monster in body just like he considered himself a monster in soul. The periphery of his mouth jerked and he forced an askance smile, the black gap in place of his missing teeth contrasting the whites of his rows. "Pretty, huh?"

Toshi lofted two digits and indicated his jaw and the area of his forehead shaded by black strands. "Minor ones 'round there..." His smile tentatively diminished as if merely altering expressions caused him ache. "What the fuck are you waitin' for...?"

Teddie jolted as if shaken out of a trance.

"S-sorry!"

He knelt down, round eyes narrowed in concentration and the bear worked as quickly as he could, but he wasn't very good at this. He had enough sense to clean the cuts and gashes first, but the way he bandaged was almost childish. Toshiya was going to end up looking partially mummified at this rate. Still, the bandages were tight and they covered the wounds.

"There! That should hold you until you can see a doctor! D'you need help getting to the hospital?"

He beamed at Toshiya, surveying his handiwork.

He cared none for personal aesthetics, his primary goal was to preserve the integrity of what remained of his profile. Furthermore he thought his bandaged condition to be more becoming than his face, and he was not even consciously cynical in that sentiment ( ... )

The head was stuck on, and Teddie's sound of surprise was cut off as the wind was knocked from his lungs.

He was dazed for a few minutes, and it took a moment to register that Toshi was trying to pull his head off. With surprising strength, Teddie pulled himself away.

"Geez Toshi! What was that for? That hurt! You shouldn't be jumping around like that and I don't have Kamui here so I can't heal you!"

The bear mascot was frowning, trying to look as stern as possible. He didn't like when people tried pulling his head off like that. It was pretty painful.

"If you're not gonna go to the doctors then you should be trying to get better, not trying to play leap-bear!"

His palm boosted him off the floor as the bear wormed from his grasp and Toshiya stumbled forward, his ill-directed momentum stopped by a wall. He breathed hard, relying on the support of the wall while he collected his bearings. It was a tedious job in his condition, his limbs protested his every command.

"......." He paid a narrowed glance to the strict facade of his assistance. "I'm not playin'," he rebuked in a sharp whisper and reluctantly trudged to deposit himself heavily back on the stairs. "You're the one that likes games... Take off that ridiculous costume..."

"It's not a costume!" Teddie sounded genuinely offended by this. More than that, Toshiya looked in worse shape than just the cuts on his face.

"I can show you the inside when you're better. Right now you look like you're gonna keel over any second."

There was definite worry there.

"Is there somewhere you can rest? I can help you get there."

"Alright... alright," Toshi repeated, raising a palm while trying to temper his irritation at the clear predicament of Teddie's exterior not being a costume and concurrently harboring something inside. This was not news a logical man could process easily or accept and Toshiya strongly believed in comprehension.

"Shit, ya don't need to mother me." His fingers lifted to brush into his black dyed hair to leave it as equally disheveled when they parted from his skull and a lightly wavering index finger indicated to Teddie. "Listen: I ain't goin' to the apartments, I'm not like those people... I'll survive right here..."

He scoured his memories of what little Teddie divulged on his person. The term "shadow" stood out among the trivialities. "The best thing ya can do... is offer me knowledge. In this life... the encounters fate orchestrated for me, a lot of 'em haven't been too good. You're not an obstacle in my path... who are ya?"
