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

[skyentologist]

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

[onegreeneye]

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

[skyentologist]

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

[onegreeneye]

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

[skyentologist]

You should try harder.

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

[onegreeneye]

'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.]

[skyentologist]

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.]

[onegreeneye]

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

[Ginko, no.]

[skyentologist]

No! That's not right at all!

[onegreeneye]

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

[skyentologist]

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

[onegreeneye]

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

[skyentologist]

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

[onegreeneye]

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.

[skyentologist]

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

[onegreeneye]

Better'n letting someone else get hurt.

[skyentologist]

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

Just... try to recover.

[onegreeneye]

[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.]

[skyentologist]

No more adventures. I mean it.

[onegreeneye]

B'lieve me, I'll try. Can't make any promises, though.

[Sorry, Ema, but he's just being honest. 'Adventures' generally seem to find him, whether he wants them or not.]
