[In the stairwell as they are, he chokes out a breath and stumbles a step or two, but is able to right himself, his hand immediately tucked into his jacket.]
He wants nothing to do with me. You may leave it at that, if it helps. [His tone's still rather tense, but at least talking about Fandaniel is, oddly, keeping him from wanting to run away quite so fast.
The Infirmary is only a short ways down at their current pace, at least.]
But... I suppose I did hit him with a prop from the theatre. And only after he went and impolitely ripped something straight out of my chest. So maybe it was deserved?
Fine. Fine. He'll. Sit down. He's so incredibly tense and it's making him that much more frustrated talking about this---]
He escalated before I even had a chance by tearing the rose from my chest, so I thanked him with a hit to the legs, and back and forth we went until he left me stunned on the ground in the costume room.
Thankfully, it all looks contained to his face and neck, though from the coloring of the skin at his mouth it definitely looks like he was spitting out blood at some point. No evidence of fracture, just a lot of blunt trauma and swelling.
The injuries on his neck are very clearly a strangulation attempt.]

If you're able to protect yourself, then why didn't you?

Here I thought you wanted me to rest.

You didn't answer my question.

[He's quite confident in his own abilities, magic or no.]
But is that why your other assailant was able to reduce you to this state?
no subject
Can we please move on from this?

[wrong response solomon
He's just
going to start going down the stairs a little
faster than before.
Maybe he just doesn't want to risk another attempt at breaking his neck. He has places to be. They. They have places. Ugh.]
no subject
Oh? And why is that?
no subject
[Yes, they weren't in complete opposition, but still. He's too distracted to pretend that he and Fandaniel are getting along in the slightest.]
no subject
no subject
Just the one. For that matter, at least, he was telling the truth.
no subject
Thank goodness. How awkward that would be.

[A beat, and he hums in thought over it.]
But... I suppose I did hit him with a prop from the theatre. And only after he went and impolitely ripped something straight out of my chest. So maybe it was deserved?
Mm. Really, it was all a very big mess.

I'd only meant to annoy him a little, but he really took it too far.
no subject
[Hello infirmary. He's going to go yank out one of the lower beds (thankfully devoid of any Extras) and gesture at Solomon to sit.]
no subject
Just, ah... a bonk against the head or something of the sort. I thought the element of surprise would make it more genuine.
no subject
Is that really all?

[thE STARING IS WORSE WHY IS HE FEELING LIKE THIS
Fine. Fine. He'll. Sit down. He's so incredibly tense and it's making him that much more frustrated talking about this---]

[But he'll go retrieve some first aid supplies and carry them over to Solomon.]
Now, let's see your wounds.
