[He sighs... but there's no helping it now, not when the fog will be rolling in soon.]
...Just try to hide if something comes after you tonight.
[Mostly because of his missing eye; Kanda's had a lifetime of watching Exorcists power through battles in the worst shape of their lives, so he's pretty sure adrenaline would overpower the pain, but trying to fight with no depth perception would just be a disaster.]
He kind of :man_standing:s for a bit and looks like he's very heavily considering saying no and leaving... but then he thinks about how many people are probably still fussing over Lavi and how much he doesn't want to deal with the crowd. So he sighs, but he sits; it'll definitely just be quiet company unless Mathis breaks it, but it's not a hostile silence.]
[he looks relieved when he decides not to just walk away. whew... no rejection...
quiet company is fine in this case, though. he doesn't want to push him away, he just wants to feel a little more secure with someone else nearby, especially with the loss of vision on one side.
after a minute, he shifts slightly so that his blind side's toward kanda, and then relaxes a little more. he'll just chill that way.]

[he sure did! his chest stab is improved, definitely. it was pretty bad when they returned, but now it's at least closed up.
mathis doesn't need to be told twice to sit down, though.]

[he'll accept not bleeding out from a stab wound.]

[he wants to protest. wants to say he could fight. but he...
he hasn't even started to adjust to this yet, and he knows it's a bigger disadvantage than his other injuries, healed as it may be.]
I'll try to survive, I promise.

But also he just nods... that's apparently all he wanted... thanks Kanda you're so good at conversations]
no subject
I'll... ask Lavi later if he can help me.
[with acclimating to the new lack of eye.
after a second, though:]
Will you- stay for a little while?
no subject
Why?
no subject
[you are his friend now (he has decided this) therefore he likes your company?
they don't need to talk, he just doesn't want to be alone.]
