Everything seemed foreign and strange, as though he had suddenly been cut off from himself and were watching a video recording of someone else's life. It felt as though he should have been feeling regret, embarrassment, some kind of shame, something, but there was only a numbness, an aching void that swallowed up everything and replaced it with heaviness. He processed it one sensation at a time, unsure how to respond to any of it.
Another beverage was set before him, one with a more normal appearance for once, the vague familiarity of it in a way compelling. He drew a taste of it, returned the glass to counter and, recovering his ability to react, gestured to it, mildly baffled, "Why the hell did I have anything else if this was an option?"

He opened his mouth to retort but stopped and closed it again with a quiet huff. "Well," he muttered, "I'd be pissed off too if someone broke my arm. Actually," his volume increased, indignation in his tone, "no, my ribs, my arm-- hell, my skull was fractured! And for what?! I was going to work! Even if I had seen you I probably wouldn't have done anything, and he just ******** attacked me! And I'll tell you one thing." He maneuvered a hand to lightly tap at the hilt at his waist. "If I'd been prepared, it would have gone a hell of a lot differently."
