[Hayato sure makes a face at that. The idea of that entire incident offends him on a level, to be sure. He'd take the pain over that any day probably.]

Do we really not know of there is some higher entity toying with us? All of this seems weirdly purposeful.

[He already knows the answer to that question he thinks. Either way, there wasn't anything they could do about it, not yet, at least. Hayato plans to do a lot of investigating here, but this place was a lot bigger than just beating up a monster and detonating a secret base.]

[Anyway, he does pick up what this man is putting down, though he decides not to comment on it. He pauses a moment on his arm and here is where he truly seems to hesitate. For all the talking he did, he did much of it without context or explaining, but this would surely remove a lot of doubt to his nature.]

[However, trying up an arm one handed is kind of a huge pain in the ass.]

...If- You wouldn't mind. Could you tie this once I have everything back in place?

[That's a weird way to talk about a wound but, once Hayato brings the arm and scarf over, it'll be clear there's a lot going on under his skin.]
