Do... Do we need to get you to a medic? That's pretty bad?

Actually it doesn't hurt as much as you would expect. I feel sore, like I got punched several times, but it doesn't feel like a gunshot-

[Oh no his emotions are catching up with him, his eyes are starting to leak.]

--Are you crying?!

[ this is the WORST teen to deal with emotions help!!! ]

[smokeandglasses]

Tears are a biological process by which we release excess emotion hormones from our body and it's perfectly normal-

[It's less crying and more quietly sniffling as the tears fall down.]

[ that's great and all but does not tell him how to deal with this ]

I, uh- I'm sorry? About your son?

[smokeandglasses]

It's fine, it wasn't really him.

[If he acts like he's not bothered by seeing someone he cares for betraying him then clearly he won't be hurt by it! Just shove all of those feelings down!

He just wipes at his face and goes ughhhhh]

Dragons don't cry, I didn't used to have to deal with this. Really, I'm more worried about the rest of you! Did you make it out of that fight unharmed?

[outdistanced]

It clearly isn't fine!

[ bro!! ]

I'm alright. The bullets didn't even hurt.

[smokeandglasses]

[...huh.]

You know, it did feel like a punch. But they didn't hurt like bullets should.

[outdistanced]

Why would bullets hurt?
