Yeah, sure. Uh.

[It's a second to adjust how he's holding the fairy pie in his good hand, shifting so he can turn and offer the bandaged right hand out to him.]

Not much to look at.

[ No, but Hunter can see anyway, can't he? The fact that Leo has to adjust in the first place, how slowly he offers out the bandaged right hand ...

Hunter swallows rather thickly. Can the healers actually fix it? ]

It's ... really messed up, isn't it?

Um. I dunno, honestly? Not sure how healing works here, but they're trying.

If you've been through multiple rounds of healing and they're still trying, that's ... pretty bad.

[He sort of sighs a little.]

And since it happened outside the scenarios at the temple, the cultists' healing didn't work on it either.

[ Hunter nods a little. ]

W-well - maybe they'll come up with something. If we can't fix it, no one can.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll come up with something.

[He does take his hand back, carefully, methodically closes it in a loose fist. There are probably exercises he could do for it to help, but he doesn't have a way to look them up here. Something to keep in mind when he can get back to New York.]

You doin' okay otherwise though? Being home and all?

Y. Yeah. It's good? I did miss home, even if it's weird being here without Belos.

And Darius and I had a good talk.

They're having to completely rebuild the place from the ground up huh?

[More a statement than a real question. With that guy's claws all in the society from who knows how far back, there's no way they can just go back to a week ago. But the mention of Darius has him a little nervous but. Hunter seems pleased.]

You looked up to him a lot right?

Yeah. It's ... good but. It's a lot of work too.

[ Hunter shifts to snag the snapdraglet and set it on Leo's bedside table. ]

He's basically the closest thing I have to a dad here.

[He watches that, seeing the little snapdraglet snap at air again. Donnie would love this lil guy, but he's pretty happy seeing it.]

That's cool. I'm glad you've got 'im, good you can talk to him.

Yeah um. I missed him? I hope we can visit Viktor and Ori soon with him.

[ Beginning to pink around the edges. ]

Do you like the plant?

I- Yeah. Yeah, it's cool.

What uuhhhh does it eat?

[It's not blood right. This isn't a Seymour Krelborn situation here is it?]

Oh! Bugs and fairies, mostly. It'll catch any flying pests that get near you.

It's um. Kind of like a little guardian. and the closest I can get to a scorpion-snake while still being safe right now.
