[That gets him to clamp his jaw shut. Hunch his shoulders. He doesn't want to say. He's already made himself more of a problem. He's already proved he can't be trusted...]
Sunvaar... sunvaar-jul.
[Boy is he glad Sasuke doesn't understand his omen.]
... it. It was a monster. [His good hand makes a motion to his omen.] "Sunvaar" is um. It means monster.
[ Sasuke doesn't bother trying to dissect that farther, because he's not wrong. Everyone was friendlier, himself included. He's pretty sure he ended up flirting with someone.
He wants to forget about that party a lot. ]
I suppose that would throw off one's usual perceptions for odd behavior.
[ He seriously has no idea what he could be apologizing for here, okay. He really should be used to this just being a word Melius says to fill the silence. Lizardman always has something to be sorry for, clearly. ]
We'll get you fixed up. You haven't caused anyone any trouble.
[ He's going to throw him into a snow pile, seriously, dude. ]
You're not going to continue to walk around with a piece of your arm missing. You may have stopped the bleeding, but there's more that could go wrong if it isn't properly closed up, and your potions seem to have reached their limit with it.
[He doesn't say much in answer to that. Just wraps his good arm more tightly around himself. It's true, though. His potions don't seem to have quite the effects he's used to.]
[ There's relief when he doesn't fight it further. Sasuke's used to stubborn, but he's never been the most patient with it. While with Naruto it was easy to tell him to just shut up, he's fairly certain that Melius would take it more personally if he was too harsh. ]
Good. It shouldn't take us long to get home. I'll send a message with Moriko so she's prepared.
[Oh look, a topic that isn't his stupidity. Or, at least, his perceived stupidity. He'll just. Casually latch onto it while they walk. It's fine, this is fine.]
[ There's a beat before he gives an actual nod of introduction to the Omen. ]
Aahkhahnu. I'll remember that.
[ Guide in dreams. It's a lot more poetic than Forest Child for a bird, probably. He's quiet for a moment before he decides he may as well ask: ] Would you teach me your language? In case she messages me again, so I know what she's saying.
[More fidgeting.] Dragons - the dragons in Tamriel. Their words give them ... power. Create storms with the right three words, or... tear a soul out of someone.
But - here. Here they're just. Words. They aren't words of power.
[ He actually looks fairly interested by that and there's a part of him that thinks it would be handy to have words that could give someone power. But he also knows how quickly that could turn very bad, considering the way he's seen power used. ]

And you didn't know that could end in trouble?
no subject
[He was flashing warning signs like a neon stripper pole.]
He looked... like my friend.
no subject
You didn't notice anything different about him?
no subject
No. No he... just seemed... friendlier but. But it was at the party. Everyone seemed friendlier.

[Then his friend had gone Jaws on his arm.]
Y-yeah. Yeah, it um... did. I'm - I'm sorry.

[It really is a filler word. When he doesn't know what to do, what to say, it just comes babbling, spilling out.]
Idiot, [His omen squawks, helpfully.]
I... I used. Potions. On it.
no subject
[ Like an idiot. ]
Sakura will restore your arm to normal. She can regrow lost tissue.

[He'd carried way too many, back in Skyrim.]
S... She doesn't... have to do that. It's my fault.

[ As any animal connected to his very being would be ]
no subject
[You don't say.]
[This seems to give his Omen an idea though. She scrambles along his shoulders, stretching as close to Sasuke as possible, and croaks out:]
Aakhahnu!
no subject
I still don't understand you, Omen.
no subject
It... it means "Guide in dreams."

goddammit i threw an extra H in there
O-oh! Um. Yes. Yes, I um. I can. Because - because the words are just. Words here. They aren't power.
[Melius for fucks' sake no one understands what you mean by that.]
you could have just rolled with it and i would never have noticed
i would have noticed!!!

That must be somewhat of a relief.
no subject
[Not even a single hesitation there. Because the Dragon Blood, the Thu'um, it was terrifying Not the way he'd wanted to learn, or even use, magic.]
I... I didn't want it. I never wanted it. I just - I just wanted to be an alchemist not Dovahkiin!
