[it is more than sizhui had expected, but it's also less than it was moments ago. he isn't reeling, he's moreso just a little foggy-headed, which can be pushed aside to make sure that broca's okay. as per usual, he's worried about someone else's well-being rather than his own—
but it doesn't seem like he's worrying about the same thing? broca's distressed about how the resort has been able to drug him with aphrodisiacs and sizhui's thinking that maybe he's still concerned with the situation at hand, something he figures has already been solved by now with their hook-up. this, however, is nothing new to him because he's so used to being aphro'd at this point, it might as well be like he'd partaken in alcohol against his will. not something he enjoys either, but there isn't much they can do about it now, unfortunately.
while he perhaps doesn't need all of that unloaded on him, he wouldn't have minded if broca still wanted to talk about it, but he has a pretty good idea that broca's not exactly the talkative type. no, he's more like the strong, silent sort of type, except the fact that he actually answers instead of just nodding or grunting or something similar speaks volumes.]
Good, good.
[after the tiger man steps back, he straightens a little more, takes a couple of steps forward then stops again, a faint limp in his walk, though he otherwise looks and is moving alright. he stretches both arms above his head, tilts his head one way then the other and lowers them again, a small smile quirking his lips at the edges.] You, ah... don't need to worry about me. I'll be okay.
[probably a little sore, even if that's easily taken care of with some cleaning up, rest and painkillers, all of which can be handled once he's back in his room.]
[ Now there's a distressing thought... getting so used to being drugged on the regular that it becomes something passé. Of course given enough time at this fancy hotel, and Broca will eventually get there too, even without Sizhui's long stint on another planet to desensitize him to things like this first. The ability of humans to adapt really is incredible.
Though at least at this moment, it's not something Broca is really keen on adapting to.
Sizhui at least seems to be moving fine, something that Broca admittedly wasn't that concerned about, though his ears do flick back in guilt at the sight of that limp. A little extra time to look for lube, and he probably wouldn't have that particular problem, but neither of them had been in the right state of mind for proper preparation.
The more important thing is that he seems to be clear headed again. Broca certainly feels back to his usual self, so it makes sense that Sizhui would too. He'll still give the man in front of him one last careful look, before nodding in understanding at that.
Strong silent type indeed, because it doesn't even occur to Broca to say anything to Sizhui at all as he steps away from the man now, in search of a towel so he can at least cover up before getting out of this shockingly risky bathroom. ]
