[ he'll take her arm for support! off to the bench they go. he'll take a seat and try to catch his breath, though it's surprisingly not helping ]
Are... you okay?
[ like is she having no problems breathing? it doesn't seem like it but he should ask. also his foot is getting really itchy?? is it rude to take off his shoes in front of someone?? maybe his socks are not on properly (also wet socks are the worst but does it matter when you're completely underwater? these are the real questions) so he will actually start to untie one of his shoes right now ]
I'm fine. [ Besides, she's so worried about Naegi that if her breathing was a little off it's not something she would notice right away. But for now, she feels okay. Being here doesn't feel so different from being back in the city, at least with this air bubble.
She watches him untie one of his shoes, and a million different possibilities run through her mind. Did he sprain an ankle? Did something get in his shoe? Both would be unlikely given where they are but still... ]
[ as he finishes untieing one of his shoes, he begins to take it off to inspect his foot ]
It doesn't really hurt. It just feels really weird but I'm sure it's nothing tho-- uwaaaah!!
[ he yells mid-sentence and he practically throws his shoe into the air (the water?) as he notices that the skin on his ankle has a new layer of scales over it. he hesitantly peels back his sock to reveal more scales over his foot. it is gross and he's not a fan ]
[ naegi is normally optimistic about things but he... has a feeling that the people at the hospital might not be able to do much. whenever it comes to regains, non-retrospec users don't tend to really react to them. they go "oh hey that's neat" and then... do nothing else. also, haha, naegi affording to go to the hospital. he'll probably just head to the university clinic instead ]
Um, I'll help you finish up with the shop before I go. Maybe it'll wear off with some time?
[ he kind of feels bad just ditching her to run off. besides, it takes a while to get back to the city so no real rush with all this... ]

Thanks, Kaede.

Does your foot hurt?
no subject

W-What's this?!
no subject
No way! What's going on?!
[ She thought she was worried before now she's even more worried!! ]
no subject
I don't know! I've never heard of something like this happening before!
[ asides from regains but he's 95% sure that he wasn't a weird fish-monster in his other life. the murders are enough for him tbh ]
Do you think I should go to the hospital?
no subject
[ Do they even have enough time to get there? She doesn't say that aloud though. Naegi is probably already thinking that. ]
I wonder if they'll know what to do. There's no harm in going, at least.

[ She says that almost immediately, frowning at him. ]
I am not letting you help me! If you move around too much, you'll just start feeling worse!
