[ Hakkai points, and he turns off immediately, tires jerking to a dusty stop as he hits the brakes too hard. ]
Sorry, [ he mutters, giving the steering wheel a pat, still not looking at Hakkai. Not until he half turns in the seat, holding his damaged arm between them. Only then does he look up.
His poker face really is terrible. He's trying for a blank sort of professionalism... but mostly he just looks quietly unhappy. Unhappy, and stoically holding back a hell of a lot of pain -- it's okay when he holds his arm still, but every time he has to move it, it screams at him. ]
However much you can do is okay. [ How much can Hakkai do, without his potions and bandages and all the accessories he inherited as Li Tieguai? ] And I was just joking about the break, don't worry about that.
[ He wasn't joking -- the bone still isn't entirely healed -- but Hakkai's just been through a lot. If he's too tired, and pushes himself too hard, then couldn't he hurt himself trying to heal Gojyo? That wouldn't help either of them. ]
