[Cou wakes up with something of a start. He's naked aside from his communicator and after backing himself against a wall and trying to cover his (Needlessly censored with random yelling of "Gigantic Tager!") with his hand, he's flushing a generally brilliant shade of crimson

[That's a familiar voice.

And...wow.

Was he seriously just naked?

She waves from her cot, grinning despite what has happened.]

[chopshopgoddess]

Oh yeeeeah. Saw everything.

[She gives him a mischievous look.]

[failatskypirate]

[He sighs a little, ego slightly deflated. There's a voice in the back of his head for probably not being the most impressive guy she's ever seen -not like there was much of a future there, but it's a crush and he'd have to be forgiven for thinking maybe just a little far ahead of himself.]

Uh... uhm... sorry about that.

[chopshopgoddess]

[Mikaela vomes to a fully seated position now and adjusts the blanket around him, still grinning.]

It's okay. [Her head is starting to pound, so she'll eventually sink back, mindful of the gauze back there.]

Why were you naked, did-

[She pauses and her eyes narrow and suddenly her fingers are reaching to grip his arm, voice just a little shaky.]

Did you die?

[failatskypirate]

[The whole magnitude of what it means to die is generally lost on him. Sure it hurt like few things he could remember, but he was still there, breathing and conversing with his friend like almost nothing happened. Still, he was figuring he should pick his next words a little more carefully and actually thought for a half a moment before responding.]

I think so.

[It wasn't that big a deal from where he stood, but Mikaela was his friend and he knows that as tough as anyone ever boasts to being, friends will always worry about friends. Especially when dying is in the picture.]

After all that stuff happened, I just kinda blacked out on the deck. I know I was hurt pretty badly -I'm just not sure how badly.

[chopshopgoddess]

[And this would be when she reaches to pull him into a tight hug, regardless of her injuries (of which there are many).]

God...

[He's alive though - he's safe and everything is going to be fine.

Or at least, she tells herself it is. She's not so sure.]

You're...okay now though?

[failatskypirate]

[He's a little surprised to be taken into her embrace so swiftly. Not that he minds really, but he is a little worried about Mikaela doing anything too strenuous when she's in the kind of condition she's in.

For a moment, he's just trying to figure out why it upset her so much. Admittedly, he figures that he did apparently die, but he wondered if it was really such a big deal if people came back from the dead regularly around the ship. It actually made him want to ask her if it'd ever happened to her, but that would be curiosity he figured he'd sate another time.

So he just returns the hug, making it a point not to squeeze her too hard.]

Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks for worrying.

I know dying's still a big deal around here, but I just didn't want to run and hide while everyone I knew was in trouble back there. So I just tried to fight however I could.
