The Fable found himself seething at Kougaiji's remark of "just a human", but bit back the urge to let the other man know that he was more than any mere human, reminding himself that it would do no good to reveal his nature (though Recluse had already done a pretty good job of telling everyone, it seemed).

He also noted that Kikyo, as expected, made no move towards him. Well, fuck them both, he'd drag his ass back to his room himself if that's what it took. He said nothing to either and instead placed the palm of his hand against the wall. Right. It was just a matter of climbing to his feet long enough to make it a few hallways...

His limbs didn't want to co-operate and he realized that he wasn't going anywhere (at least, not upright). Cursing under his breath, he attempted to drag himself away- undignified, yes, but less awkward that dealing with these two. Assuming he got anywhere.
