↳ @mobian-of-science asked: "Arrow! What happened?! Please, tell me you are alright!" There is a sudden attack in form of a tight hug coming from the small mouse.
{➹} – IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before this happened, the hero reckoned. He didn’t mean to keep the mouse in the dark but the last few weeks had been anything but kind to him, and it was only now, days after his rescue, that he was even able to sit up on his own. Talking was still a chore, and his eyes were still that dim brown; to say nothing of the dark veins that crept up his limbs and torso, even his neck. Color was slowing returning to his skin, but it wouldn’t take more than a glance for anyone to see the hero was hardly at his best.
And that, Arrow supposed, was what had sent his friend into a panic. How she had gotten there in the first place, within the base or in his currently borrowed room, was a mystery (though he suspected one of his teammates had a softer heart than they let on) but he would have also been lying if he said he wasn’t happy to see her. He was actually very happy to see her again after so much time.
The hug, while appreciated, did cause a hiss of pain from the hero, one that unfortunately accentuate his trouble breathing but he did his best to quickly get it controlled again, for her sake and so he could offer some reassurance.
“’M fine...” He didn’t look it and Arrow knew that, but it wouldn’t stop him from giving what he could of a smile towards Flask. “I just...had a few rough weeks...’s all.”
A simple way to put it, but true nonetheless. He didn’t think it would help her worry, but hopefully she took some solace in knowing he was recovering and not too far gone. Bedridden, yes, but still there.
