Head's clearing a little.

[wallride]

Hey, man!

[lúcio doesn't bother replying and instead just walks in.]

Maybe texting wasn't a good idea, huh?

[shiro2hero]

[Lucio probably walks in on a heated, semi-coherent argument with a nurse about how he doesn't need tranquilizers and so help him he will call Voltron and --]

Lucio!

[wallride]

[shiro... lúcio hurries over and puts a hand on the nurse's arm gently.]

Ma'am, do you mind if I have a quick word with him? He's a little... stubborn.

[she doesn't seem happy about it, but agrees if only because shiro obviously knows who he is and visiting hours are, technically, still open.]

Hey, dude! You givin' these lovely ladies trouble?

[shiro2hero]

[He's never looked more relieved in his life. Maybe the whole "pale as hell and also dark circles under the eyes" thing helps out with that.]

No.

They wanted to put me under. I... don't like that.

[For a lot of reasons.]

[wallride]

Okay-- I can see if they can do something else for you.

[he sits on the side of the bed and takes whichever one of shiro's hands is closer.]

You took a lot of damage, alright? You'll regret not having at least something on hand.

[shiro2hero]

[It probably says a lot that he relaxes almost immediately after Lucio sits. After it's clear the other guy isn't going anywhere.]

Painkillers were fine. Honest.

Just... don't want to go under.

[wallride]

Alright. I can talk to Angie to see if she can advise them of that. You're her patient more than mine, after all.

[the nurse that's still in the room takes note of this and begins fiddling around with some alien medical equipment after giving a brief apology to shiro.]

How're you feeling?

[shiro2hero]

Thanks...

[He sighs it out, letting his eyes shut for a second. His head cleared up pretty fast, once he thought someone was going to sedate him.]

Not great. How long's it been?

[wallride]

A couple of days.

[he hesitates, then goes quiet.]

Darin... took it real hard.

[shiro2hero]

... did he get hurt?

[He doesn't ask that right away. He has to press his good hand to his face. There's a headache dancing somewhere behind his eyes.]

I... screwed up back there. Thought he'd catch on before anything happened...

[wallride]

No, he made it out fine. Don't linger on it, alright? I don't know what happened, but it sounded like something big appeared and there was some understandable panic. The important thing is you both made it out alive.

[even if shiro barely did.]

He's avoiding seeing you, though. It might be hard.
