Sunlight. That was something he frankly, hadn't been expecting to see anytime soon. Actually, he hadn't expected to be breathing again either. Sitting up in the oddly comfortable and peculiarly designed bed. Though truth be told, he wasn't really used to sleeping in an actual bed either. So waking up in one with railings like this one was a little strange.
The room was quiet, frankly too quiet for his tastes either. His surroundings were strange, yet as he looked out the window and saw the familiar view of the surface he thought he'd left behind, he started putting things together in his head. That was right, Simon took control of that fortress Ganmen, so he must be aboard it. A quick glance down explained the tightness around his chest and mid-section; he'd been quite thoroughly bandaged up. It wasn't a bad job considering he was pretty sure that the last time he checked himself, there was a big, damn hole right below his ribs.
With a little struggling, he clamored out of the bed and wasted little time in donning his pants, cape and geta -all conveniently left near his bedside. Tucking his shades into the waistband of his pants, he grabbed his sheathed sword and wasted no time in flinging the door leading out to the hall open with dramatic fervor.
All at once, the eyes of the passersby were all on him. Expressions of shock and sheer amazement greeted him for a moment before erupting into a riotous cheer. Shouts and cries of "He's awake!" and "Lord Kamina's on his feet!" resounded as he returned the greeting with a cocky smirk of his.
"Hell yeah!" That was the initial reply he gave as he stepped out, giving his new surroundings a quick once over, "It'll take those bastards a lot more than that if they're lookin' to take me down!"
More cheers came as he found himself ushered through the hallways, past more cheering humans that had joined their resistance, the Dai Gurren Dan. And before he knew it, they'd led him to the bridge where as the doors parted, the crew member leading him along announced to the bridge crew, "Captain on deck!"
[OOC: Okay, so in Kamina's dream here, episode 8 ended on a far better note than it actually did. Feel free to show up aboard his new giant mech-battleship-thing.]
