it's a relief it doesn't refuse D&D and drink it like water.

nor girl...

(just write ... ..., the 3 bubbles were 1 sentence, too hard to make into 3 in english)

all these scars.

you probably didn't want to show it.

i'm sorry for looking at it without permission.

but still, a bandage is dirty,

so an eye patch...

should feel more comfterable.
