Obviously not. But I would prefer you aren't worried about me. It looks much worse than it is.

God, you really know how to inspire confidence. Nice and vague.

Fine.

I'm physically blind. My hands are a mess, my arms are a mess, my chest is a mess, my upper back is a mess. One leg has an injury. My lungs are a mess. I'm still missing ribs.

[A slow exhale, before Trevor stands up and grabs his medical bag. He's no doctor but he needed to be able to patch his own wounds on the road and in Flotilla]

There. See? No need for all pretext. Just say "Trevor, I'm hurt, I need you."

-and Dracula has already bandaged me up. My wounds are constantly closing ... and then reopening as my healing tries to work on them.

I promise: I'm not in need of a statement.

No, I think you're in need of the opposite.

...I suppose it would be quicker to stay that I'm in the library.

Color me surprised. Is Sypha with you?

Not in the room with me but she's here.

Right. On my way.

ASK next time, you shit-eater.

You'd better be in better shape than me or I won't say a word.

I am in incredible shape. I know how to take care of myself.

[He sounds distant, like he's walking now. Trevor heads for the library with his medicine satchel.]

I've seen you drink, Belmont. Try that line somewhere else.

Drinking is taking care of myself too. Sober me isn't someone I want to introduce very often.

I believe the term is knurd.

I believe you got even more fucking obnoxious without your eyesight.

[Trevor makes it to the library and starts hunting for Jon and his office]

I can see just fine. I've got more eyes than the ones in my head, thankfully.

[ He's where one would expect him to be, after all. ]

[He catches sight of Jon and waves to him, before the absurdity of waving to a blind man catches up with him. He grimaces and stomps over, loudly, on purpose to announce his arrival]

Hey.

[He's covered, arms and torso and some of his neck, in healed burn scars. Occasionally one will cause him discomfort and he'll need to rub some shit into it, but it's nothing like how most people are staggering around]

[ He can probably feel the eyes watching him so it's no surprise that he waves back. The blindness gets somewhat explained now that Trevor can see him: one eye is as dark as the space between stars and the other is fogged almost white. There's bruises on his face, bandages on one hand and both arms, and an obvious bulk of more under his clothes. There's also one around his neck with a dark stain. Last but not least is a worryingly stained cup opposite of where he usually keeps his tea cup. There's a few more spots with bandages visible but they seem smaller.]

I'm glad to see you mostly healed up. But I did say I was all right.

You said you were blind. That's a far cry from 'all right.'

[says Trevor, walking over and crossing his arms to inspect Jon, get the whole of him]

But better than some of the times I've seen you.

Two of my eyes are blind. They just happen to be the visual ones. The rest are perfectly fine.

[ And he rolls all of them which, yeah, feels a little odd. Sorry, Trevor. ]

But no, I'm not falling dead every five seconds, thankfully.

Fucking pedantic asshole.

[He says, to shake off the eerie feeling of the eyes watching him. Trevor slumps into a chair to watch Jon]

Well? Talk.

Oh, absolutely not.

[ That's a slow shake of his head. ]

It's lovely to... see you, but I'm not talking about my injuries.

Oh, I see. So all of us can give you statements, but you can't reciprocate.

When I could potentially cause injuries on you?

No. You're welcome to... catalog things now and ask me later. I'll tell you whatever you like.
