"Yeah, go ahead… get it out of your system. I deserve it anyways."

He laughed a little, shaking his head.

"What? I'm a dumbass and I could've gotten myself killed and screwed everything up. Lay it on me. I deserve it."

He shook his head a little, running his hands through his hair.

"Why not?" Lloyd asked weakly. "Y… You've got every right to…"

"Yeah, well."

"Well? Well what, Ellis?"

"Nothing. You're just a fucking dumbass."

Lloyd sighed and hugged Nathaniel tighter. "I-I just… I want your to be able to get it out of your system. I can handle it."

"I'll get it out later." he replied, shaking his head at Lloyd.

"Why not now?" Lloyd asked with a soft sigh.

"Because you just got stabbed."

"So? Compared to that, your scolding is nothing, correct?"

"Well…just– ugh."

Lloyd sighed again and held Nathaniel close. "I deserve it, El. Just… do it."

"No." he replied, sitting down.

Lloyd shook his head a bit. "When are you going to, then?"

"Hm?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"When are you gonna scold me?"

"Eventually."

"I'm gonna need a time, El."

"Not right now?"

Lloyd sighed softly and nodded. "Alright…"

He rubbed his face with a hand.

"I don't know how long I'm gonna be stuck in here…"

"Yeah. Me either."

"I don't know if I can eat yet… I'm feeling really nauseous and everything hurts."

"Alright. I don't know how to help."

Lloyd sighed. "… I'm a dumbass…"

"Yeah, you are." Ellis agreed.
