"Eh--?" Ippo parroted the other man's movements and felt a liquid drooling down his face. It caught dark red in the dim lighting, but he already knew what it was. He was no stranger to frequent nose bleeds.
"Oh, n-no, it's okay! I get beat up a lot, so it's no big deal. My nose is always broken." It was hard to pull off such a statement with a cheery grin, but Ippo managed. He didn't want this man to fret over something he volunteered to do to himself every few months.
"Uhmm, by the way... It's not good to be out at night on your own. You should always take someone with you no matter where you go--" His public service announcement derailed once he realized how terrible it was to lecture another patient about safety when he had slipped out of his room alone as well.
"W-Well, next time then." Ippo rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed. "Try and... find someone to go with... Or maybe just stay in at night. Nothing good ever happens around here after dinner."
