He might put up a wanted ad. Start up some kind of barter system.

Which you aren't allowed to participate in, by the way.

[Give him a couple seconds while that sinks in.]

...What? Why not?

Look at yourself!

[She gestures to his current general uselessness.]

You always overdo things.

I don't! I-- oof. [He tries to push himself upright and makes it a couple inches before dropping back against the pillow.]

I don't overdo things. 'N I definitely didn't overdo anything this time.

Which is why you can barely get off the couch. [Her voice is as dry as the Sahara.]

'S not from me overdoing anything. Just... bad luck, 's all.

I know if you volunteered to help Apollo, you'd definitely overdo it. Especially since he doesn't have much control yet.

I wouldn't. I don' actually want to die again, y'know. 'N he had enough control not to kill me this time.

This still looks pretty bad. You spend enough time recovering on your couch.

So far s'not seeming like I could avoid that even if I tried.

You should try harder.

[Honestly, Ema doubts he's even trying a little. Ginko has too much of a self sacrificing streak.]

'N how would I do that?

[He frowns at her, his tail giving a slight, weak flick from where it's hanging over the side of the couch.]

Stop just... jumping into danger whenever you see someone getting hurt! Or at least take stock of the situation first. A little caution never hurt anybody.

[Ema's aware she's being extremely hypocritical, but she's had better luck than Ginko, at least.]

I do take stock of the situation. 'S what asking people wha's going on is for.

[Ginko, no.]

No! That's not right at all!

What'm I supposed to do then? How long should I just-- just stand there 'fore I can get involved?

I don't mean stand there and do nothing! Just... take a second and think about what you're getting into.

'N what if I can't be sure anyway?

...Knowing you, you'd still dive in headfirst anyways.

Probably.

[Hey, at least he doesn't deny it.]

I can handle getting hurt better now 'n I could before, anyway, so 's not too much of an issue.

Just because you can handle it doesn't mean you should.

Better'n letting someone else get hurt.

[She angrily mutters something under her breath that sounds like, "Self-sacrificing idiot."]

Just... try to recover.

[If he catches the comment at all, he doesn't show it. He gives a very small movement that might be intended as a nod.]

Mm-hm. Think I just need to rest, anyway.

[And eat something at some point, but he figures that can wait until he can move around a little more.]

No more adventures. I mean it.
