[Kim just walks into his room and like, stands in the doorway for a few seconds with his eyes closed.]

Okay. I guess this is an infirmary now.

[This is just a fact he's going to force himself to accept on the spot.]

[malewife]

The room is relatively clean.

[ Joonghyuk actually wiped up, so maybe it just smells like blood a little, not a lot... And undead. ]

[afterword]

[ Ah, it's that ahjussi. A polite smile is directed to Kim. ]

Sorry about that, it was the closest room we could get to.

[malewife]

I don't see the point of lying to him when the truth is obvious.

[ WHAT IS WITH THAT FAKE, RATTY CORPORATE SMILE ]

You didn't want to bother with Herlock Sholmes.

[voltadomar]

[There's a look of ah, that makes sense on the lieutenant's face. He'll turn to Dokja.]

... Understandable. I can spare the room for a night, so make yourself at home.

[afterword]

[ There's at least a reassuring look. ]

I appreciate it, but I won't intrude any longer than necessary. It was just a moment to get my bearings. Thank you though.

[voltadomar]

It's up to you.

I have pain medication here. Would you like some?

[afterword]

[ A tempting offer. ]

I can manage without, thanks. I'm feeling a bit better already. [ He says even with his injuries. ]

[voltadomar]

... Okay. You can always ask for them later, if your condition changes.

[afterword]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. [ He definitely notes it! ]

[afterword]

[ Shut up???? ]

My memory is a bit hazy so it's a bit difficult to remember any of the details.

[ So he'd rather not face an investigator and his million questions! Concussions are a pain. ]

[malewife]

Then you can't tell us more about that thing?

[ it is still trying to chomp. ]

[afterword]

[ Blinks slowly at it. Then back at Yoo Joonghyuk. Did he black out for a moment?? ]

..Why do you even have it? [ Ugh, he pinches his nose a little. ] I remember us dealing with them at the very end. Right before we got back. There was a horde of them chasing us.

[ He seems to be trying to think at least, but winces after a moment. ] They were yelling something, a lot of things, but I can't remember what.

[voltadomar]

[Kim's raising an eyebrow.]

So they did speak...?

[afterword]

They did. Mind you it wasn't really human, the words sounded garbled and a bit distorted but you could sorta make out what they were saying.

[ He tires to think and... ] "Let us die." They kept repeating that.

[voltadomar]

... Alphinaud said something similar. I think you're correct.

[He frowns.]

How many were there?

[malewife]

I said before I was curious about it.

[afterword]

[ He heard but. ]

Well, you're probably able to find more of them back in the caves.

[voltadomar]

It was. Until you brought a severed monster head inside.

[malewife]

[ ... well. he guesses... he could have pinned it out in the hallway, but his hoarder instincts are like

what if someone steals this zombie head ]

If you want to open it up elsewhere, we can move it.

[voltadomar]

You want to open it up? Is there something you think you'll find?

[malewife]

Usually, I wouldn't touch an undead.

[ but. like. it's already just a head that got stabbed and has been (carefully) skewered for easy transportation. He looks at it and it's still like... Hissing. ]

But I'm curious to see if maybe there are any signs of it being enchanted inside. Or cursed.

[voltadomar]

I really don't know what that would look like, but okay.

I had some less invasive tests in mind, so I'd like to go first if that's all right with you.

[malewife]

[ The head is just there, so it's a yes. Joonghyuk will unpin it and it can...

I guess... Try to crawl its way to someone for chomping. ]

[voltadomar]

[He fuckin' jumps back.]

Wait -- leave it pinned! I need it immobile for this.
