And in many regards, they’re right. Even though he’s mostly recovered from his near death experience (getting to go hunting for the first time since The Event and feed on life energy has gone a long way towards improving his health), he finds he still has less energy than before and occasionally breaks into a dry, rattling cough.
So of course he ignores all the signs pointing towards the fact that he’s not well yet and goes off in search of trouble to get into.
“Romeo! Brilliant, just who I was looking for. What say you: shall we attempt that slide?”
