[He doesn't direct where she should go, just lets the blanket fall to the couch as he stiffly passes back to kitchen and lets Amelia decide where she wants to be. He does keep her vaguely in the periphery of his vision, even as he approaches Hawke with the same bearing he'd stepped outside with. Detach from it. It's just healing, it was clinical, not emotional.]
I might need help with the shirt.
[But he's still going to try, letting his left arm pull the majority of the shirt up over his head so his right side is left as undisturbed as possible. There's bandages around his torso to keep pressure on his ribs, but deep purple and black bruises peek out from under them, down his stomach, but mostly along his back and up to his shoulders from where he'd curled in on himself to protect his head. The burn marks on his arm appear to be the only ones of their kind, but there's something else on his skin below the edge of the bandages.
The feint remains of sharpie spells out words, half scrubbed away as best they could be with soap and water. 'Slut' 'Nothing' and half of '-re welcom-' remains messily on his lower back. He ignores them.]
Triage should be my rib and then my rear and legs and then throat and neck.
