Just wanted to give the reminder. And hope that you're okay with it being me that sees you like that.
[ He comes back over, setting the water on the ground and kneeling down in front of Kim, looking up at him. He gets one of the towels wet and reaches out to start cleaning the blood off of his body. Not taking care of the bandaged areas yet and just general his body generally cleaned. ]
[ Aw, he's not at the top? Just kidding, just kidding. But he does smile a little at that while cleaning him up. ]
Even if you were reluctant to hug me before?
[ Maybe this isn't appropriate to be teasing him right now, but he can't help but want to lighten the mood a bit. Give Kim a little but of positive feelings. ]
He made it near-impossible to walk away, god damn him.
[He's practically pouting.
The wounds are pretty much what would be expected: a simple bullet wound in the back of his shoulder (bullet removed, partly healed from Nero's magic kiss), cuts on his arms, and the stump that's been cut clean, then burnt at the end. The rest are pretty superficial, and have been helped greatly by the healing.]
[ Okay, he's sorry, but he can't help but laugh at that. ]
He can be a bit insufferable, can't he? I'm sorry he pouted so much that he forced you to hug me, too.
[ But there is such fondness in the way that he says that and lightly pats Kim on the knee. Sorry, buddy. It's kind of funny. But he leans to properly start cleaning these injuries. Being very delicate about the gunshot wound the best he can. ]
But he also means well. So it's what's in the heart that counts.
[ And once the wounds are cleaned up of dirt, he's going to use whatever they have to properly clean the wound, if they have alcohol or what have you for it. Sorry if it stings, buddy. ]
We have no choice but to do something drastic. The alternative is to remain in this cycle... for this to continue until all of one "side" is eliminated.
We have to break this cycle. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that. I still stand by the fact that I am determined to fix all this and bring everyone back.
[ A hint of a grin twitches at the corner of his mouth. ]
I think it's the best way we can face it. Head on and with our heads held high. They're trying to break us with everything they're doing... and we can't let them.

[A little gruffly. Though he doesn't seem to be actually mad.]
no subject
You didn't seem too troubled when it came to Sholmes.
[ Ah, honesty week. But he doesn't seem bothered by that, honestly. He's more... amused? But he reaches to start to unbandage his wounds carefully. ]

I know he does. I'm... glad to have him around.
[The honest truth: Kim likes these clowns.]
no subject
[ If it wasn't more than obvious. ]
But. I'm glad to have you around, too.

If nothing else... it's been interesting. Not all in a bad way.

There's been a lot of good among all the misery. We should never forget that part, either.

I wonder if we may be nearing the end of all this. We may be able to make our counterattack soon. The bomb...

When do you think...?

The dead said they have a bomb. This may be the last piece they need.

They want to target Metatron and Xaphania with it. To end this.

Fair answer.

That said... I'm with you on this.
