[Good girl, don't put any more pressure on that leg than you have to!! Fray is reading when she comes in, but he puts the book aside and turns his attention to her.]

You both have my thanks. I would say you needn't have gone to the trouble, but I know I couldn't have stopped you if I tried.

[Sayaka's just like that. She is good at making sure Fray's kept fed, at least. Sort of like a feral stray cat.]

I... [His eyes dart again. He doesn't like being asked so directly because it means he can't worm his way out of it.] ...will admit today was a bit more difficult than I would've liked.

[He pauses for a moment before deciding, hells, why not just say it.]

You've my apologies for that attack. It should've hit me instead.

[...even fray gets tankxiety, ok,,,]
