[ peter rushes into i'm okay and sam's brow arches, not at all convinced. but he's had enough of his own worry thrown back in his face over the next few days that he won't push it, knowing that he's made this bed and he will have to lay in it, and his visitors have had every right to come and hover. to be anxious, and to put those anxieties anywhere they could.
if anything, sam can at least tell that peter's smile is genuine, that the relief isn't faked. but then, of course, he's in on the apologies and sam is already shaking his head, holding out a hand. ] No, no, don't- don't apologize. It's been insane here, and I'm sure it's still insane out there after those nightmares.
[ there's a question there, more specific, but still not stated. how did you do? because the only frame of reference sam has right now is geralt's body, nearly split in two, bleeding out over the sand. if anyone back in the city...
no. it doesn't matter. he wasn't here, and he can't let the guilt of what he could have done eat at him. he wasn't here, he made that choice, and that was that. ]
I'm fine. [ is his first answer, and he means it. he's not good, but he's better, a lot better. ] Nadine gave me the go-ahead to take a few laps around the room. I'm trying to build strength back at this point, but I'm keeping it slow.
