[For once Psi sounds rather serious when he speaks.]

Everyone check in, now. Do not make me come looking for you.

Does anyone need help moving? If you're injured see Zecora, even if you think it's not that bad. Anyone with healing magic keep an eye out and an ear up for people in need.

I'm going to do a fly over and make sure no one unconscious gets missed.

Okay, here's a question. Do you know anything about what ypu were 'just skimmed' by?

[dontpokethat]

Well... yeah? We did have bullets back in Japan.

[Good job missing the point, Ginko.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Okay then, second question. Are we in Japan right now?

[dontpokethat]

....No?

[Squints. He's not sure if Psi is fucking with him here or if he's more fucked up than he thought.]

Is that supposed to be a trick question or something.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Oh my god Ginko. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART ONE.]

No! The point is you have no idea what you were just shot with because these aren't the guns from your home! They could be poison, or iron, or something even worse!!

So don't tell me you're fine, because basically what you know here? It's shit.

[dontpokethat]

[Look he's not at his absolute most perceptive right now okay. Especially now that he is no longer A. running away from people with guns or B. an unknown distance in the air, so his brain is finally calming the fuck down.]

...Well, I sure don't feel like I'm dying.

[Just feeling, you know, sort of shitty.]

[dorkypantsuit]

You're a real prick, you know that?

[dontpokethat]

Kind of, yeah, but thanks for the reminder.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Ugh!]

You're supposed to disagree.

[dontpokethat]

Why'd you say it if you wanted me to disagree? I'd rather not lie if I don't have to, anyway.

[dorkypantsuit]

I said it because I'm worried and anxious and I don't know if anyone's died yet today. I didn't actually mean it and you shouldn't mean it either.

[dontpokethat]

...Guess I can't really fault you for that. Sorry for misunderstanding.

[And he's just not going to touch that last part, thanks.]

[dorkypantsuit]

This is why you need someone looking out for you! I can't do anything yourself.

[dontpokethat]

[Excuse you!!]

I absolutely can! I've lived this long, haven't I.

omg sorry for typos

[dorkypantsuit]

Miraculously enough!

NP i could still tell what was being said!

[dontpokethat]

Shut up.

[He tilts his head back some and squeezes his eye shut for a few seconds. Yep, definitely feeling shitty. Still probably not dying, but shitty.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[A stunning example of maturity right here.]

You shut up...

[Soon they medical tent is in sight, but it's sort of hard to run with a fully grown goat-man in your arms, so Psi settles for a brisk walking pace.]

[He's quiet, but fuming. Ginko was on HIS team, that meant if something happened to Ginko while he worked here it was Psi's fault. Did Ginko want to fail? Did he have some kind of death wish? Did he really just not care about his own safety? That was as frustrating as it was upsetting.]

Don't think we're done talking about this...

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko sighs and cracks his eye open, making another brief effort to get free now that he can see the tent. Not that he really expects it to work at this point.]

Didn't think we were. I don't suppose you'd let me down now?

[dorkypantsuit]

[He just rolls his eyes, before he reaches the tent and carefully sets Ginko on his feet.]

Stay here until she looks at you. Understand?

[dontpokethat]

[He cringes as he unloops his arm from Psi's shoulders, wobbling for a moment as he stands upright and adjusts his hold on the towel.]

Yeah, yeah. [He pauses, and then, realizing that that might have sounded sarcastic -] I will.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Psi nods, looking pleased enough with that admission, though still generally unhappy.]

Thank you.

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko nods, staring down at the ground. It takes him a moment to speak up again, but he doesn't much like the idea of leaving things like this until whenever Psi brings it up again.]

...Thanks for bringing me over here.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Psi's unhappy expression fades from anger to sadness. He reaches out like a total weirdo and just straight up puts his hand on Ginko's cheek.]

...Don't make people worry about you so much.

[And before Ginko can reply he's flying off, looking for other injured people he can help out. He probably won't be touching anyone else's face though.]

enjoy this closing tag of ginko being a loser

[dontpokethat]

[...What.

What???

It's very possible that Ginko wouldn't have managed a reply even if he'd been given a chance. He barely knows how to respond even to Joker's whole casual hugging thing, and this seemed much more... deliberate.

What?]

R...right. Sorry.

[Ginko he's already gone.]
