[ There's a feeling of relief that washes over him, that his brand of ridiculousness (because humor is a coping mechanism, a way of distracting from pain, but he doesn't want to offend anyone in the process) isn't going to sour whatever budding friendship this could end up being. Not that there's even a guarantee, but based on what Steve has told him so far, he has a feeling friends are going to be necessary if he has any hope of surviving here.
Especially friends who know how to stitch him back together. ]
It's, uh, not great, but I also don't feel like I'm on the verge of dying, so, uh. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. [ Shock has a tendency to do that, right? But shouldn't the shock have worn off by now? Or maybe because he already kind of died in one world, he's incapable of dying from these wounds again?
He's not exactly looking to find out, though. ]
I'm guessing I'm gonna need stitches? You need to clean them out first? [ That, he surmises, is going to hurt like a bitch. But he'd much rather pass out from the pain from that than have to deal with gangrene, so. He'll bite down on a wooden spoon if he has to. ]
