[ yeah that checks out. he laughs a little, though it's more rueful than anything, rolling his sleeve and glove back into place. ]
...yes, I am too.. It would've been a bit sticky, otherwise. [ thinking about yves last week and his bleeding leg. a bit sticky is an understatement!! ] But, thankfully, the two of us together at least should be able to assuage some worry.
I'll talk to some of the others to see if I can find out any other similar injuries before tomorrow - if I do, I'll let you know. [ so don't worry yourself to death too much over it, goes unsaid there. ] And... I spoke to someone who didn't stay with us who I trust very much about it, as well, so it is not just those of us who were together that night, in case anyone finds it suspicious in that regard, too.
[ though.. he sighs, a little, with that. ]
I'll admit... the likelihood that someone in our group was participating in the night's events somehow felt far too high, one way or another.
As awful as it is to say, it...surprised me the most that every face in the morning was accounted for.
[ in their giant ass group, he frowns, setting his hand on the bruise on his arm. his heart's too empathetic, too big for these losses, and that never changes, either. ] I was relieved, of course... and then quite guilty for feeling that way, but that seems to be par for the course, each Friday.
[ yay....!!!! that warms his expression immediately - taair lifts a finger to delicately 'ring' one of the convallaria flowers, bell shaped that they are. ]
Good. [ there's a little relief there, laced into his tone. ] Perhaps it is a good luck charm, after all.

All right, that's good.
...And yeah, odds weren't exactly in our favour with that big a group.

[ they all have people they're more worried about losing than others. ]

Maybe so. [ ... ] I'm glad you're alright.
[ after last week with neverah, it's - well. it's always a possibility, so it's a little scary. ]

Bracelet held up pretty good too.
