[ CHECKING IN!!! Wherever Todomatsu is. They manhandled people to the island houses for rest but he'll come find this muppet wherever he is. ]

How are your injuries, Mr. Matsuno?

[ He prioritised the more immediately obviously concerning people on the return but now that there's a bit of time... he's also carving fruit, want some. ]

[ he is at rosie's house!! and has taken a bath and is now in blood-free clothes, sitting on the bed up against the wall. the hot bath did nothing for his complexion; he's still pale and borderline grey.

he seems to tense up a little when daan approaches in a way he didn't with everyone, but shakes himself out of it. ]

They're not that bad.

[ which seems to be true, though looking more closely, his knuckles are pretty bruised and cut up, like he was punching something hard. there are also a lot of paired puncture scars on his neck that weren't there yesterday, though they look like they've been healed for a long time, somehow.

he will totally take some fruit. ]

[ He notes this, raising a brow slightly but doesn't get into it right away. ]

You look much better now. A bath really does wonders, huh?

[ He puts a plate of neatly sliced apples besides Todomatsu, assigns Rosie's house a bedside table. ]

Would you at least allow me to look over your hand there?

[ Makes a wobbly hand and aeuheuhhh?? noise in rl. I think he could tell roughly what kind of hardness thing Totty was punching probably? And can kind of guesstimate from there.

Are talking like, 'been in the freezer' cold. ]

...You're very cold to the touch. Should we get you some extra blankets? Maybe Karlach in here?

[ A bear hug from Karlach could fix anything. Anyway he's going to lightly dab at the cuts with a damp cloth and gently wrap it. ]

You also have some... wounds, around your neck. Though they look pretty healed.

[ like. supernaturally dead cold. oh, and he also doesn't have a pulse, so. you know. that's fun! ]

I don't feel that cold...

[ somehow daan can get the sense that his face would probably be turning a little red with the mention of the marks on his neck if his blood was actually circulating right now. ]

Yeah, that... I got bitten by some... things... but that was like, two months ago, so...

[ ...Just pressing on his wrist and holding his hand in general.

?????? ]

What do you mean, two months ago? And do you mind if I check your neck?

[ He wants to try to get a neck pulse. What the hell. ]

[ he may check but he will not find one. ]

Huh...? I mean, it's been— how long has it been?

[ Wtf wtf wtf

He drops his hand... also these puncture wounds are like. Animal wounds then?? ]

...Barely a day. I only just say you last evening at the maypole dance.

Um...

You appear to be lacking a pulse.

[ he frowns and rubs his head. ]

Oh... yeah, I guess if it was really two months the ritual would have happened already...

[ well. has daan seen dracula.

he doesn't say much of anything to that revelation. he hadn't realized it, but he's not exactly surprised by it either. ]

...Mm.

[ Debatable whether the movie would exist in his world but you know what actually might exist unironically for real? Actual vampires. So...... well anyway the concept of vampires definitely exists. ]

Yes, probably. Maybe you're suffering the effects of some kind of hallucinogen...?
