Well, I know just about how fun that is. [Yes, people have managed to land a bullet or two, believe it or not (not to speak of his death, which he isn't particularly thinking about right now).
[This next bit he weighs a while before sending. He's really not all that prone to prying into the deeper emotions of any given situation, but he remembers how Maruki reacted when the shots fired weren't even aimed at him...]
Are you feeling alright? Physical wounds aside.
I'm used to being shot at. It doesn't bother me much. Might bother most people, though.
[ Maruki may not have bog standard dreams anymore, but he relives his memories. There hasn't been a night since that fight that he hasn't had a nightmare that ended with a bullet through his neck, blood soaking into the ground beneath him, shock seeping rapidly into a dying mind. ]
I can be honest and say it's weighed on me. Not only because it was a frightening experience, but because I've gotten used to having Azathoth's protection.
But I don't want to dwell on it. This reality is a tough one. I want to use it as an opportunity to become better at handling situations like that.
Thank you for asking, Odasaku. I really do value you.

Folks don't check in on you all that often, do they, Maruki?
I value you too. Same reason, I think.
We'll get you safe. No worries.

[Did he do that right? The whole "I saw everything, but we're agreeing I saw nothing" thing? He's really not very good at it, normally.
[Either way, he decides he'll check in a little more now, just to be safe.]

Let's meet up soon, then.
If you can make it out to the farm, we can use the training grounds.
