[Once everything has died down, no pun intended, Kagerou figures he may as well say something. The video feed clicks on to show the bird sitting against a wall in what is more than likely the medbay -- and though he is pretty beaten up, he doesn't appear to actually need to be in the medbay. Nothing is leaking and all his limbs are attached.]

[He stares into the video for a moment or two too long, debating what to actually say.]

... I've made the first arrest of my life. I was... part of a team, today. I felt... as if I had a place.

[He trails off -- this is huge, why don't you look happier, birdbrain?]

But it feels wrong. None of that was anything... [He shakes his head.] ... Maybe a stealth unit isn't made for combat like that.

[His visible optic flicks over to something off-screen.]

Maybe none of us BP units are.

[It ends there. Except...]


[PRIVATE TO: KAY FARADAY]
I'm all right. I kept my promise, this time.

[That...was something. In fact, Power Joe looks legitimately surprised.]

You're...welcome.

[He gives a light shoulder punch in return.]

[thxforthememories]

[He reaches over to grasp that hand, just for a second, after he's punched. He grips PJ's wrist, tightly and briefly, before lowering the other BP's arm for him.]

Don't move so much.

[kungfugeek]

[His first instinct is to jump the bot. After all, it seemed threatening. But seeing as he couldn't move...

And Kagerou put the hand down...]

Hey, I'm good from the waist up.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

Don't risk it.

[There's an awkward pause that follows. He looks away, wings fidgeting.]

All right?

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

...

[Very awkward indeed. He turns his head the other way as well.]

Got it.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

... Good.

[Translation: I was scared for you and I don't want you to die and this feeling is new and I don't know how to feel about it.]
