[ he hesitates for half a second, and while he manages to keep smiling, it does lose a little of its light. ]
He's pretty shaken up. Makes sense, right? After what he and the others went through, and then losing Naryu... he doesn't even want to use the pods in the medbay to heal up.
[ He smiles, too, though mirroring... A bit more sad, though. ]
What they experienced was a nightmare... And I worry more will be whisked away again to the other realms. [ Closes his eyes for a moment. ] I hope his wounds are healing well if he chooses not to use the pods. I'll pay him visit later... To see how he's faring.
[ It wouldn't be fair to get it from a third party. ]
Yeah... If it happened once, it could happen again. It's kind of scary. But JiuJiu agreed to check up on Kumopi, and I've been keeping an eye on him, too, so I think he'll be okay.
[ ... ]
Try not to press him too hard about what happened on Thursday, though? It was really hard on him, and he's already upset about worrying everyone. He might try pushing himself too hard if everyone's hovering over him.
Finding a way to make him smile is always good! Our troupe used to do these little improv skits where we played high school girls... it always made him laugh and got him to relax. I'm not saying you should do the same thing - though I'd pay good money to see it! - but anything that gets his mind off the heavy stuff helps.
I'm not, promise! It's just that I'm the closest thing to home he has, you know? And we're in the same troupe, and that's like having an extended family, so I've been trying to stick with him when I can.
...But I know I can't do everything on my own, so it's good that we're all trying to help out.

[ It is okay. ]
'Twould simply be a visit to monitor his recovery... Perhaps we would find a light-hearted activity.

Alas, I have scant mastery in theater, but I will see to uplifting Ser Kumon within my ability.

No worries - it was just an example! Acting's not for everyone, anyway. Whatever you can do is just as good!
[ a soft smile as he lifts a wilting flower in his hand. ]
I'm really glad he's got a lot of people looking out for him here. If it were just me, it would be even harder on him.
