[There's a pause. No more than ten seconds or so pass without a response but, short as it seems to Diarmuid in his agitated state, it surely feels like longer to Flat. By all rights, he should be annoyed at the both of them and yet...
No, he can't. He just can't be angry, not when, in a stark and peculiar contrast to his usual verve, Flat sounds so defeated; there's no admonishment he could give that could be worse than what he's probably giving himself. It isn't his place anyway. Diarmuid sighs.]
You've no need to apologise to me. I won't pass judgement on something I wasn't there for- you both acted as you had to and you're alive, yes? That's all there is to it.
[The fear's still there, quieter now but simmering under his skin like a fever.]
[ flat sighs heavily as he tries to explain both their states with the little energy that he has. while flat had, at most, a few bruises, his energy reserves were dangerously low.
cu, however... ]
Cu’s very injured...I think. There was a lot of blood when I last saw him. His shoulder, thigh, and head... I bet he’s probably gonna walk out as soon as he wakes up though.
