[See Darkleer. See Darkleer without his glasses for once and his hair pulled back into a thick braid! See Darkleer also kind of bleeding somewhat from the arm.]

[Yeah that might be a problem. It seems he's on the beach and dress appropriately for the location, if not the weather. Tight swimming trunks cling to his legs, and what appears to be the bite mark of a shark is on one muscular arm. He doesn't seem much bothered by it- in fact, there's just the occasional wince as he pulls a tooth out. Just one more scar to add to what seems like a collection of them. Also noticeable would be a pendant that seems to be hanging around his throat... Hm.]

I've been meaning to ask this, but my schedule has been rather full up until now.

[Translation: I've been focusing on all my robots like a workaholic freak and trying to hide from weird romance problems.]

However, right now I have a bit of time while I'm working on something on the island. [In the water, more correctly, but details.] Would anyone be interested in learning basic medical skills? For example, how to assist someone who has drowned or how to stop a wound from bleeding.

It's better off to leave complete treatment to a more professional individual, such as our... esteemed head nurse, but skills such as these can help keep a situation from getting worse.

[There's a pause as he inspects his arm, now devoid of any shark teeth. Something seems to just *pop* out from his sylladex and he puts the modified omni-tool onto his good wrist. Don't mind him as he holds it over the bleeding wound and... wow that sure is some automatic healing going on. Technology is great, he loves technology.]

I will be on the island all day so feel free to simply locate me if you are interested. Speaking of the island... [A slight frown.] The pollen up here seems less severe than that down in the city.

Curious.

[Muffled-] Stop that, I am trying to suffocate myself instead of living with the shame and dishonor of having listened to her.

[Cut him some slack, Summoner, god!]

I'll tell you if you leave my towels alone!

[Sighs, sitting back, rubbing at his forehead with the back of his head, furrowing his brows.]

Alright, alright...

[Now he has to readjust his towels, good job. It's just fidgeting, really, but eventually he stops himself.]

She needed me to fix her SFC because she crushed it for some inane reason- she wouldn't tell me, and simply continued to mock my craftsmanship. How it was my fault, and such, how I was probably hallucinating things because I'm always solitary.

I... tried to silence her by saying how I had you, still, but she just said the two of you had talked, how easy it was to "step back into old patterns and manners".

[He glances down, sighing. A long sigh leaves his nostrils, raising a hand to anxiously adjust his nose ring a little. He knows why she said that- anything to get the upper hand, right?]

[Another sigh, shaking his head.]

We didn't do anything, I- slipped up a little, got too close, but nothing uh- nothing actually happened, I left. Sorry I didn't tell you I saw her.

[Darkleer knows too, and hates himself even harder because he kept telling himself she was being a lying pirate asshole, but look where he still is.]

I apologize for getting short with you.

Nah you uh- I know why you would. [Sighs, looking away.] You kno how I feel about her- I don't uh- I don't blame you.

It was still foolish of me.

[He slowly starts to pull out from his towel pile, small as it is.]

I know how you feel about me, as well.

[Another sigh, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Ah- I'm- really sorry for what she said to ya.

[He slowly reaches over to touch his hand.]

You can't control her. It's hardly your fault. In all honesty, I'm not surprised she's getting like this when I don't immediately back down from her as I used to.

[He glances up with a lacking kind of smile, tired, his shoulders slumped.]

Just uh- it makes me wonder how much she'll fight for this is all. [Wonder... worry... ya know.]
