Hakkai was lost deep in his own thoughts - trying to forget that creature that attacked them last night, even as it had haunted him all day. He still wasn't sure if that was simply a figment of his imagination, his own insanity finally catching up to him now that he didn't have the distraction of the others, of their quest, reining him in. But Gren had sounded worse than usual, too - but he had said everything was fine. But on the other hand, he still hadn't saved his friend from that creature last night. There was no telling what that meant - other than that he felt it was entirely his own fault.
The question from his roommate, then, came as something of a surprise. His head snapped up, automatically, before he realized that no, it wasn't actually a threat.
"Hmm?" Just a question. He let his usual mask slide into place, though the smile was more brittle than usual. It was hard to pretend things were all right when they most decidedly weren't - but he didn't want to worry anyone. "Ah, no, I'm fine."
