[20] he's a casualty dressed to the teeth
[backdated to morning!]
[Again, Dist wakes up in a great deal of pain. After he opens his eyes, however he notes that he's... back on his couch in the garage. The city didn't even see fit to put him in the bed inside. He sits up slowly, wincing at the pull on his back and testing his legs carefully. They're still torn up, but he can move them. He ventures outside after getting dressed, blinking up at the sky; it's a welcome sight after the horrible grey of the past week.
After a moment or two he notices the box on the ground, placed in front of the garage rather than the doorstep. The city is obviously back to its annoying sense of humor. He walks over to the box and kneels rather than bending. When he opens it he makes a delighted noise and grins, although the mouth motion makers him remember just how broken his jaw is.
He has his clothes back! EEE!
He scampers back into the garage to change before venturing outside again.]

...What is that?
no subject
The town gave me my clothes back!
[Torn apart and with a broken jaw and he still manages to be excited about it. Oh Dist.]

I got burned when we bombed the factory. It's fine; I've had worse.

[He regards her somewhat suspiciously.]
You're being awfully helpful.

[He moves to continue putting his shirt on.]
I didn't ask for your help.
no subject
no subject
[Yep. Still bitter.]
no subject
But with that attitude, you can forget about me helping you.
no subject
[He's gotten his shirt on, finally, and moves on to his coat.]
no subject
Is this because I'm a woman?
no subject
[He avoids the other statement entirely.]
no subject
So?

[He finishes pulling his coat on the normal way, rather than being careful with it the way he had with his shirt; it's excruciating, but he bites down on his tongue rather than cry out about it. He sets his jaw and glares when it's all said and done.]

[...SIGH. She tried to help you, Dist.]
no subject
Didn't you hear me? I said I didn't need your help! Or Jecht's, or anyone else's! I take care of myself!

[He storms across the garage and bends, grabbing the bottom of the garage door and hauling it up... and then he screams.]

It'll close.
[The protest is weak, though.]

[Aaaand she goes to get May.]

It's amazing the idiot's managed to live a full thirty-five years.]
