[ that's more teasing. his grip loosens. at least... at least it was that. god, some part of him was terrified it was something even worse. at least he already knew the extra credits were fucked up. ]
I'm glad. Did you see those notes we got? We're supposed to spend these vouchers as much as we can, so. Do you need anything healed up? I can probably ask Vi to help you out so you don't have to hobble around so much. Think of it like - returning the favor for whoever you're gonna help this week.

If...if you really want. My leg is definitely the worst of it.
