Gale's expression softened. "I will," he said quietly, gratefully. "Thanks."
Clearing his throat, he shifted his feet a little, feeling marginally better than he had before. At least he didn't have to worry about falling over anymore. "You doing okay, Jordan?"

"I'm okay," Jordan answered, and hesitated a moment; he didn't feel like going through the whole ugly explanation, and Gale didn't need to be subjected to it when he needed to be in the infirmary anyway, but, "I'm in room 207 now, if you need to find me."

There was only the slightest of pauses before Gale said, with a gentle smile, "I should bring you a housewarming gift. Isn't wine supposed to be good for that? I think I still have a bottle leftover from something Bix did before, if he hasn't snuck in and drunk it yet."
He touched his throat absently and then said, "Okay is still better than nothing."

"That'd be nice," Jordan agreed, his shoulders relaxing the tiniest bit. "When you're feeling better, anyway. I can give you the grand tour, got a kitchen and everything." The slightest edge of gentle sarcasm, acknowledging that even the more luxurious dorm rooms were fairly spare. "Could be better, but could be much worse too," he said, and, "here we are, you want a witness for explaining to the techs what happened, or should I just shove off now?"

"Oh, a kitchen," said Gale, with a good natured laugh. "You're living in style now, Jordan, better not let it go to your head, you know, pretty soon you'll be wanting pillows and such."
The infirmary was definitely on Gale's list of "least favorite places in the world," but they did have pain medication, which he most certainly wanted. He gave Jordan a slight smile.
"It's okay," he said, "I don't want to make you too involved, so I'll talk to the techs. It's my fault, anyway."
He slid his arm from around Jordan's waist and winced slightly, swaying only a little as he straightened. The look he passed to the other was a grateful one.
"Thanks for helping me," he said, and then, in a quieter tone, "I owe you one, so anytime you need anything, just give me a call, okay?"

"Oh, now you're just being silly, pillows, jeez," Jordan said, smiling a little. He watched Gale closely for a few moments, looking for any signs that he might be about to fall over; when he'd satisfied himself that Gale could make it in to the infirmary under his own power, he nodded once. "All right. I'm sure Jinhai will have you back to normal pretty soon." In his mind, Ferros rumbled low with satisfaction; not all weapons were close to their humans, but Jinhai and Gale seemed to be well paired. "Thanks," he answered, and hesitated a little. "You too."

Jordan had at least smiled, and it made it just a little better. Gale stood somewhat uncertainly, waiting to see if he was stable enough, but it seemed that most of the shakiness was subdued, minus his shaking hands. Gale turned to look back at Jordan before he stepped in, one of the techs on duty already coming to reprimand him for being reckless and standing in the doorway to the infirmary instead of lying down like he was supposed to.
"I was serious about that wine, by the way," he said lightly, and smiled a little. "Or if you just want something to do, I'm usually out on the training fields."
He lifted his hand to give a small wave with lightly bruised fingers as Gale turned to the infirmary at last.

"I'll take you up on that, sometime when you're in better shape," Jordan agreed. "Thanks, man. Take care of him, Jinhai." He watched until Gale had been supported into the infirmary, then turned to go, quiet and thoughtful.
