He nods when his head is resting against the headboard, and smiles, moving his shoulders some more and stretching his spine carefully. The new height and perspective is refreshing-- helps him get more in his head and not drifting off.
(On the contrary, he was sure he wouldn't even know what to do with himself if he wasn't smiling and laughing; everyone else would certainly be even more unhappy, and he wouldn't know what to do with himself if he made the others so upset.)]
I bet I could escape even if you did tie me down. Tim and Cass teach me all sorts of stuff when you're not looking. [Gloating. He knew all sorts of things.
He wouldn't go so far as crying-- not again-- but his face grows a bit serious, and he picks up the IV from where it's hanging off the edge of the bed, thumbing the tube carefully and looking down as he speak]
...I'm sorry for messing up. [Shame-- it's one of the last things he remembers.] I guess it's gonna be awhile before I can go on patrol with you again.
