Aragorn smiles and gently boops Reggie. “Poor babies..” He murmurs. He was not just mentioning Reggie, but also the widowed Niko. “I could imagine how much that could hurt…I’m so sorry you two had to go through that…it’s truly not fair.” They sigh heavily, gently tracing his finger over Reggie’s head.
"Ah, some things just don't go your way" He joked, holding Reggie's head. "We're big boys. We'll be alright. He said giving Reggie a light noogie. He sighed. "How are you feeling in terms of motion? When you're strong enough we need to do a bit of physical therapy for your grabby limb and leg. You broke several important calcium bodysticks, and won't walk or move your grabby limb right for a bit. It'll be worse if we don't do the therapy for a bit"
Aragorn nods slightly, then sighs. “I can move slightly…but it causes a lot of pain and discomfort.” He murmurs, looking down at Reggie. “But it’s alright…I’m sure if I tried I’d be able to move around enough.” He whispers, gently tracing his hand down Reggie’s body. He then smiles softly as he seems to relax.
"Not yet then" he said calmly
(i got to go for a bit)
(Ok!)
“Alright.” Aragorn nods, closing his peepers and taking slow, deep breaths. The poor thing needed to calm himself…
"How is your grabby limb feeling though? Your range of motion and your hands will be a bit wonky, so we could suggest doing grip strength exercises?" Niko said calmly. He sat on the grabby limb of the couch near Aragorn's groundhands, and smoothed Reggies scales when the serpent slithered up close
Aragorn looks back over to Niko, then his own grabby limb. He attempted to move his hand, but he could only get himself to wiggle his fingers. Yet, even that caused discomfort. They cringed slightly as they laid his head back. This isn’t gonna go well… he thought as he looked back over to Niko. “Yeah…that sounds like a good plan.” He smiles, nodding in agreement.
"Aragorn. If it hurts you shouldn't do it. But if you say you can, I'll get the grippers and some other stuff" He said standing up a bit in hesitation.
Aragorn smiles up at him. “It’s alright. I need to rebuild my strength as soon as possible. Better to start now.”
