[ Weiss watches him in silence for a couple of seconds, able to see the bandages peeking out now. Her voice just sounds exhausted when she says something. She knows he's probably just trying to make sure she doesn't worry, but she has so many trust issues at this point that it's hard to deal with Zuko of all people keeping her in the dark.
Weiss didn't say anything else before she slammed the door after leaving the room. She needed a few moments to calm herself down before she came back. She was only outside the door, holding it shut in case he decided to do something stupid like come after her despite his injury. When she finally came back in, her heels were audibly thunking against the floor from her stomping. She didn't bother to wait for him to turn around, or hold back even the slightest bit. If he wanted to sleep, he could do so after she said her piece. ]
Pyrrha died. Penny died. Ruby was comatose. Blake was stabbed and ran as soon as she was able. Yang lost her arm. Vale fell completely at the hands of people we trusted, who we thought were our friends but were really just liars. Here I became City Guardian. I got stronger. I pushed away half of the people from my world trying to protect this place and even if they forgave me, it's obvious they don't think I was right. I tried to move on from you as best as I could because you weren't going to come back and even if you did, chances were it wasn't going to be with your memories. I dated someone who eventually tortured my friends in front of me, tortured and killed me after I dumped him to have an open sexual relationship with Flynt when I realized I couldn't commit even if I felt alone. I didn't want to experience loving someone and losing them over and over again because I knew it'd end up the same way as it did with you, and I lost everything because of it.
[ Weiss reaches down and pulls his shirt up without hesitation or care for his personal space. ]
Whatever reason you're trying very poorly to hide the bandages under your shirt, I don't care. Don't lie to me.
