No, no. I am all right. I took a blow to the head. Maybe two. It's hard to remember.

[It doesn't matter anyway.] Oh yes, the tall nice man is named Steve. He says he knows you.

[See? That must mean it's fine. Steve seems the responsible type.]

Right yes. I will wait for you there.

[And Caleb will indeed be there by the time she arrives, undoubtedly. Settled in and bandaged -- mostly since one of the blows had split his skin, and his hair is red but not that red. He did try to wave them off, but it is impossible to argue with a determined nurse.

He's seated on a cot, refusing to lie down and still fussing that he is fine. He's had worse before, and he's conscious which means he can keep going. The sound of his name stops him though and he raises a hand.]


Vex! Over here.

[He looks a bit worse for the wear, but he'll live.]

[Caleb watches all this with the faintly dazed look of a man with a significant concussion. But he has to stifle a smile when he sees Vex stare down a nurse. Not getting in Vex'ahlia's way is a lesson he learned day one.]

I don't know. They were wearing a mask, like a fox. And after Steve kicked them... much farther than I'd expect someone to be kicked... they ran off.

[Cure wounds is a welcome feeling and he sighs slightly. It's not gone, but it's better. He can deal with better.] Thank you.

I think perhaps they weren't in their right mind. There's no need for shooting.

In his defense, it is a very impressive skill.

[Most bows and arrows do not do that, right? And he got the sense that Steve was not from a world where magic was near so prevalent as it is in Exandria.

He stands with help, but he feels the rush of that spell, the ease of some of the ringing and throbbing in his head. He murmurs another thanks, even if she shouldn't have wasted another spell on him. ...but then he's so used to constant battles, maybe that's less of an issue here. Usually anyway; clearly he managed to find trouble. And there was that incident with the creature that snatched his new friend the other day.

No he stands by what he says. No wasting spell slots.]
I'm sure I just need a little rest. The dizziness is much better. And the pain is fading. [Thanks to Vex.]

I would be exceptionally happy to be somewhere not be poked or prodded. I am sure they intend to help, but...

[Caleb spent far too long in a sanitarium to really be comfortable in any hospital-like settings. The clinic at least is small enough that it doesn't set all that memory off.]

Thank you, Vex. I am sorry to have pulled you away from your work.

[But he really really appreciates it. A lot.]

...I am also thankful for that.

[Don't drug him to sleep, Vex. He'll behave. He doesn't protest the assistance walking, draping his arm over her shoulders. It's steadying, even if he's feeling a great deal better thanks to the well placed spells.]

Yes, we are friends, aren't we? [He sounds quietly pleased by this confirmation.] If you ever need me, I will be there as well. Not with anything so useful as healing magic, but I can light something on fire if that will help.

Ah, a consequence you must bear for beauty. Such a heavy burden.

[He's definitely behaving. He didn't even do anything to get into the trouble he got into this. This time. He's usually the cause of his own peril, but not today.]

That is all true. Then that certainly decides it.

[Friends. It's nice. It's nice that the Mighty Nein have bullied him into being better at accepting things like friendship and trust too. Less than a year ago, and Caleb would have had a very different experience in this place.]

I know the type who don't seem to understand what is in their own best interests.

[Beau, wherever she is, whatever plane far removed from this one, should probably feel her ears burning because Caleb is absolutely talking about her.

Then he's being left in the custody of a bear. Hello good bear, best bear. Caleb will linger.]
So... a good day in the woods?

[Is he trying to make small talk with a bear? Yes, yes he is. Which he figures is for the best when Vex comes around.] You are sure he won't mind?

You two are very close. It's sweet to see.

[Family. Caleb has missed his own and the guilt associated with that can be crushing. But it also gives him every reason to want to see the people he cares about happy with their own family, whatever that family may look like.]

Right then, yes. I am conscious.

[He carefully climbs onto the bear, taking a seat on his back.] Thank you for the help, Trinket.

Including Keyleth?

[Because between that and what he's heard of Vex's Percy (it's not that big a house. he hears things.) it certainly sounds like,] ...your friends sound like they are also like family.

[It's an educated guess, and also.] Mine are as well. When we first met, I wasn't even sure why Veth and I were staying with them. But that has changed so much.

[Caleb makes sure he has a good grip on the armor.] I also do not want to fall. I will hold on.

[Oh gods running. He wonders if this will be more or less terrifying than Steve's motorcycle.]

Trust can be difficult. I understand that. [All too well.]

[He'd trusted the wrong person in the past, and the consequences had been the worst thing that has ever happened in his life. But then he's holding on very tightly. But Trinket is kind, and Caleb is good at clinging.]

Not that bad. [Caleb echoes, even if he looks a little paler than usual. He pats Trinket's neck gently.] Thank you. I will owe you one.

He does seem like a good judge of character.

[Caleb will do his best to stay on the bear's good side and Vex's It's certainly a goal.

Then oh. Oh bear kisses. Very gross. But he only smiles soggily and reaches a hand up to pet gently at his neck.]
Apples? I will keep that in mind.
