Lloyd shifted a bit and held onto Ellis, wincing slightly when he put pressure on his wound.

Ellis bit his lip, unsure what to do.

Lloyd soon stirred again and opened his eyes a bit to look up at Ellis. He seemed pretty disoriented and his eyes were glazed over.

"Because that's who you are. You hide that it hurts."

"Lloyd, you got shot and stabbed."

"Y-Yeah, but… I… I can handle it…"

"No, you can't."

Lloyd flushed a bit harder, unable to meet Ellis's eyes. "It's… it's not that bad…"
