He stood up from where he was crouched and turned to look at her, already rolling his eyes. "A great defense you have there. You're lucky you won't have to use it." His words weren't malicious, but not quite joking either. He looked utterly miserable—bags under his eye, his skin paler than usual, his mouth twisted into a permanent grimace from being exposed to death and blood and the remnants of both of their dinner's all at once. He wasn't built for this, and he wasn't even ashamed that she was bearing witness to that.
He paused long enough to take one good look at the scene around them. He'd managed to rid the pavement of the majority of the blood where Walter's body had been, the deep red puddle now a mere water stain. He'd have to get the rest of the splatters, but they were small and easy compared to what he'd put himself through already. He looked back up at her and took a breath so deep that his whole body moved.
"Are you alright?" he asked, the clipped tone gone from his voice.
