Had the girl been taken before? She'd been there long enough to know that people got taken, but Kurogane had no knowledge of if she'd been one of their experiments. And with how faded some of his memories were now, he wasn't sure if she knew that he'd been taken once before. What he did know was that he didn't want her worrying over the thought of getting taken again. Or what his eye might make her think.

So it would be an injury. For now. She'd find out eventually, but later. When he could think clearer and speak to her more properly.

"Are you hurt?" he said in response. His injuries were obvious whether he admitted to where they'd come from or not. And she was like him; she probably would say, but he knew he'd be able to tell by her answer.
