What's the deal with monkey? Did you wake up with that suddenly attached to you?

[soulus]

[He angles his head in a half-formed nod. He did wake up with an issue related to monkeys. This particular monkey's attachment was unexpected, though.]

[sacredchants]

[ hmmmm... ]

I guess it's like your seeing-eye monkey, except it'll scream at whoever gets too close to you than actually do any good.

...do you need help with your hand? Your other one isn't in the best condition either.

[soulus]

[He lowers his left hand. It's fine. The dressing is fresh and there's not much else to be done now.]

[sacredchants]

Cutting off your other hand was pretty extreme. You weren't going to try to consider an alternative of maybe saving it?

[soulus]

[Izumo receives a pointed look. What was he going to do with a skinless hand? The pain notwithstanding, infection or some other complication would have done it in in no time.]

[sacredchants]

D, don't give me that look. They have guns that apparently can heal.

Who knows what else could have been done.

[soulus]

[His eyes darken at the mention of the guns. What a waste it would have been, using one of those on a mere pair of hands.]

[sacredchants]

I didn't mean it for them to use it on you but there might have been something else available or obtainable here that could have helped.

[ has izumo become the rufus whisperer????? ]

[soulus]

[His frown deepens at her suggestion. There's a dull flash of emotion in his eyes and he moves to walk past Izumo.]

[sacredchants]

Did I strike a nerve?

[ she...isn't going to really stop him but?? ]

[soulus]

[He stops. There's something he can say to all that, but he decides not to. In the end, he walks away, and even the monkey is quiet for once.]

bye then, i guess. ]
