[oh thank god-- whichever one is responsible, whoever was listening. it takes a minute for the text reply, but as soon as koby reaches out and feels that flare of sunlight-yellow, he's pressing up against it like a purring cat.]
Tim, you're back. Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, right?
Of course I want to see you. I know it wasn't you doing all that, you'd never.
[ The feelings on the other end are pure panic. He hurt people, he hurt Koby, and the realization of what he'd done crashes into him, overwhelms him like a tsunami. ]
im not hurt.
what about you? there was so much blood and i just left you there
Good. Thats good. Harry said the chapel was burned, but nobody else was hurt.
["else", a slip, because he can feel tim's horror, his sick regret, and he doesn't want to make it worse. but he can't lie, especially if tim sees him, battered and bandaged up.]
Quentin came and got me, it's okay.
It looks worse than it is, I promise. I'm tougher than I look, remember?
And we're all in one piece still, see? You're back to yourself, nobody else died, I'll be fine.
I'm not mad at you. I want to see you again. I'm on strict orders not to leave our suite, though, and I don't want to give Quentin a heart attack, so you'll have to come here.
There's no rush. But if anyone gives you a hard time, I'm going to ignore recommendations about bed rest and come give them a piece of my mind.
Oh, it's all right. It was sort of the perfect storm of situations -- Zoro's left, so the crew is a mess. But I had a nice morning with Quentin. And he got me something.
@t.laughlin, idk 5/15 or so
Are you okay??
it wasn't me please know that i would never EVER do anything to hurt you
I couldn't think clearly everything just got so out of hand so quickly and I was completely crazy I am so sorry
I'll make it up to you. if you want to see me again.

It wasn't your fault. None of it was your fault.
