[He just assumes it's a generalized statement.]

Perhaps. But healing is your concern for now, like it or not. That's also a duty.

[ehnnui]

I am saying that I am already doing that.

[goodknightdaddy]

Ah...

[He looks a little embarrassed.]

My apologies. I'm treating you like a child.

[Awkward a moment, he clears his throat.]

Can I bring you anything?

[ehnnui]

...Information, if you don't mind. I know my knights are in good hands, but... it makes me nervous all the same.

[goodknightdaddy]

Of course.

[And he will update Kamukura on everything, the recovery of the injured, the status of the hunting parties, all that.]

a) hEY GMAIL TELL ME WHEN I HAVE TAGS b) HAVE I BEEN MISSPELLING KEIREAN'S NAME THIS WHOLEASS TIME??

[ehnnui]

[Kamukura soaks up the information like a sponge, asks prudent questions, but ultimately seems satisfied.]

Thank you, my lord.

Yes but I genuinely didn't notice and had to go check if that helps

[goodknightdaddy]

We should be done by the beginning of winter I think. In time for you to be ready to travel.

i reread the thread and was like... wait... wAIT...

[ehnnui]

My apologies for not being able to help until then.

Fair

[goodknightdaddy]

When you're feeling better you can assist me with paperwork at least.

[ehnnui]

I could begin with that now.

[goodknightdaddy]

Are you certain?

[ehnnui]

I shouldn't move much, but my mind is clear.

[goodknightdaddy]

Very well. I'll leave some of it to you.

[He resists telling him not to overdo it.]

[ehnnui]

Thank you.

[he knows he's being kind of irresponsible but also if he can't be useful he'll fucking implode?]

[goodknightdaddy]

But... tomorrow.

[He'll divert a small amount for Kamukura, he knows the guy has mainly been sleeping, which means he shouldn't give him a stack of reports]

[ehnnui]

All right. I would not want to inconvenience you further by being demanding.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He starts to say something then stops.]

Sir Kamukura.

[ehnnui]

[clearly catching that]

My lord?

[goodknightdaddy]

[He just shakes his head.]

I'll see what I can do to mitigate your boredom.

[ehnnui]

[it's true. it's true that when he gets bored he's like an understimulated dog, and gets destructive. but he is, like, embarrassed about it?]

...Thank you, my lord.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He can understand, when he's been injured he's been restless. Unthinking he ruffles Kamukura's hair.]

Mm.

[ehnnui]

[CRITICAL HIT

he... visibly relaxes.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[He's not used to patting people that aren't his daughter but it comes almost naturally here with this young man. Maybe it's his serious face that still looks kind of cute? He pats his head a little more.]

[ehnnui]

[Under no circumstances will he be stopping this. He'll just be soaking it up while he can. Not saying anything lest it bring Keirean to his senses.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[He keeps it up when... the building is rocked by an explosion. Shouting and the distant sounds of fighting have him rocketing to his feet, heading for the door as a knight busts in to declare they're under attack.]
