“Heard it had medicinal properties.” He replies as they walk, keeping his gaze forward. As for it being noble of him, he hasn’t heard that in regards to him in a long time and he can’t help the soft chuckle that leaves him, the shrug of his shoulder. His head tilts back toward her as she mentions his arm is in cold storage, nodding idly as he considers it. “I haven’t decided yet. Bouncing around a few different ideas though.” He assures her with another playful smile that spreads along his face.
How is he adjusting? Well, he takes a sharp inhale of breath as he considers it — old habits and all — before the smile he offers her is a bit more genuine. “Everything is different. But I found an old friend. Aamu, if you know of him. Other than that? Nothing.” It had all changed, continued to change. Though what had he been expecting? “Heard another war is looming. I’m far less prepared this time than last time. So I guess I should figure out what to do with this arm, huh?” His gaze returns to the path, a chipper tone to his voice that seems to quietly suggest he’s hiding much of his brooding with the mask of it, if she knew how to look for it.
