[ he's not even certain why he tried this to begin with. he knows what he gave up to get Al's body back, he knows what sacrifices they made, but it was worth it. he wouldn't change it if he was given the chance to.
but he woke with a need to try, to see if there was anything left after Truth took his payment, let him walk back into the light with Al's body. he'd never thought losing something so invisible, so simple, could leave him with a strange hollow feeling.
maybe he wasn't a suit of armour, but something still left him feeling unsettled. ]
Damn it. [ he slams his fist down against one of them, only to hiss when he feels the zing of pain across his knuckles in his new hand. he doesn't hear or see Al awake at first, doesn't even think to check before he bends to begin to try and wipe the circles away, fingers trembling, cheeks flushed in anger and confusion.
it's only when he turns to grab a wash cloth does he see those two golden eyes watching him in the silence, that he frowns momentarily. ] Hey, Al, you're awake. [ he forces a tiny smile, trying to laugh away the chalk that covers the floor and even some walls. ] Sorry if I woke you, buddy.
