[ he does have his fish tail, thankfully! does he need that thing for balance? who knows.
he can easily be found in the medbay some hours after their return, trying on a silvery-smooth prosthetic arm. the trunk of his wound has stopped bleeding too, at least. ]
Oh—Sora? Hello. [ there's a cheerful lilt to his voice, even if he's looking a little banged up. ] I hope I didn't make you go out of your way to check on me.
It's not a bother to come see you and the others to the medbay, Mr. Sidon. It'd have been a bother if you had been anywhere else. [So at least she's glad he's not unruly like so many others would be] Were they unable to recover your arm without needing a prosthetic?
[ he's not unruly, he wants to be in good shape. priorities. he gives her a little smile at the well wishes. ]
Ah... no, it seems the pods can only offer the prosthetics. Though the smaller wounds, it can handle. [ he stretches out the arm, gently drumming its fingers against nothing. ] I'm hesitant to use it, if I'm frank. But I did want to practice.
[She takes off the star-shaped brooch that holds her shawl thing around her shoulders together, and holds it on her palm. It's a pretty thin piece of metal with many points to the sides]
Fine motor control is important. I advise you get a good grip on that first.
[.........pun not intended from Sora, she's not the kind to make puns on purpose, hah]
[ cute... he gently reaches out, taking the brooch gingerly into his palm. it seems less like he's lost control of his arm and more that he doesn't want to damage the little piece of jewelry.
even if she doesn't mean to make the joke, he laughs quietly, trying to keep it to a small movement so he doesn't hurt himself. ]
Thank you, Sora. You strike me as a woman of many talents, but I didn't think rehabilitation was one of them.
Isn't knowing how to prioritize the key to get many kinds of things done, Mr. Sidon? I may not know all that much about rehabilitation, but I do know about what's important to keep track of.
[Still, Sora seems flattered by that comment of Sidon]
You seem to be getting used to the new fingers surprisingly well. I admit I thought you'd be having more trouble than this.
[That he can consciously try to not damage this brooch is a very good sign, in her opinion]
So it is, so it is. Always important to keep priorities in mind.
[ he picks up the brooch carefully, then sets it back down in her palm. ]
Thank you—it's more intuitive than it looks. To be frank, the construction is more impressive than my handling of it. But, ah—just in case. You ought to take this back. I don't want to break anything important to you.
A brooch is replaceable, Mr. Sidon. Your health isn't. [Even if it's a prosthetic. Sora does take it back, though] I do feel glad you seem to be handling this...injury far better than I thought you would.
[It's admirable. Despite everything regarding Sora's initial suspicion of Sidon, she has really grown to gain at least a level of respect, even though she still doesn't truly trust him]
How do you plan to explain how you lost it, once someone at home asks about the...sudden change you'll have?
[Asking mostly because Sora is well aware the majority of people in this ship won't even be able to say a thing about being out in space delivering packages without being looked at like they're absolute nutcases -- but now Sidon has a very permanent thing. That'll raise eyebrows!]

Hah, did you doubt me? It's only an arm! ...It does hinder me some, but I will learn to live without it.
