[shiro2hero]

You just told a joke.

I'm so proud.

[No, he can tell his teammate is worried. It's easy to tell. So, of course, he's doing his best to lighten the mood. With stupid, continued teasing.]

[businessinfront]

[ That just makes him flustered, which is... better? Maybe. ]

I can be funny.

[shiro2hero]

I know... I know. But it's nice to hear.

[Come on buddy take the compliment.]

[businessinfront]

[ Fine, but he's not going to like it. ]

... Can I get you anything? Besides...

[ All of this bedding. For the tub. ]

[shiro2hero]

I honestly can't think of anything.

[Nothing that won't... reappear... anyway.]

Just -- look after yourself, okay? If you start feeling off, at all...

[Because of course, he's going to be more concerned about everyone else than himself. That's just typical.]

[businessinfront]

I'll... act responsibly. Should probably do the decontamination thing they're talking about, too.

[ Even if he's suspicious about it. ]

[shiro2hero]

Angela seems to think it's safe.

[A pause, before he adds:] She's a friend. A doctor -- she's the one who put my shoulder back together, before you guys got here.

[businessinfront]

Introduce us sometime?

[ A beat, as he realizes. ]

... wait, what happened to your shoulder?

[shiro2hero]

No problem. Probably... going to end up being sooner than later, all things considered.

[He grimaces for a second.]

Remember when you guys got here? The whole sling thing. [His expression gets sheepish.] Guess whatever my arm's made of doesn't extend to my shoulder.

Took a hit too hard and it kind of. Broke.
