[ shiro doesn’t actually want to get into it. he doesn’t want, nor does he need, to be cheered up about the utter destruction of his body. that comment right there? in no way was that a ploy to fish out some compliments. it’s as much a warning as it is a redirect, and now, with it executed, shiro is ready to barrel past this without further comment.
… stupid of him to think it’d be that easy, though, huh?
shiro likes the bite to keith’s voice – shut up – but he hates how his expression doesn’t match it in the slightest. at least they’re away from those damn apologies, something that shiro has no desire to bring back by uttering his own. so no, he doesn’t take back what he said and no, he doesn’t outwardly acknowledge that grief-stricken look. he forces a puff of breath that attempts to become a laugh, but doesn’t clear the exhausted smile he forces around it. ]
Okay. I’ll be quiet.
[ he returns to his original spot, crouching down as he fiddles with the matches. luckily, this cabin came equipped with a small stockpile of kindling, as well as discarded paper, both things essential in lighting a pile of logs. ]
I need to focus for this next part anyway.
[ and so he situates all those things in the fireplace. failing to ignite with the first match but succeeding on the second, shiro gets the kindling lit and makes sure it takes to the pile before closing the screen. ]
