not that it stops daylight's winglets from fluttering in anxiousness. he tries to tell himself that it'll be fine. if there's anyone he can trust for this sort of situation, for this sort of path they're taking? it's definitely going to be shiro.

his assurance is seemingly confirmed when daylight catches shiro's later words, his spark - staticky and stuttering as it is - warming up at the concern. ]

I'm glad too. I'm sorry I worried the others when it didn't go so well. [ next time? have something to cushion his fall. (or, you know, listen to the others' advice when they all say, 'this is a bad idea' when he floats an idea next time.)

he pauses when asked what can be done for now because huh. that's a good question he should have an answer for at this point. ] ... I guess make any future questions light?

[ he tries to joke about it but the way his optics are flickering kind of diminishes it. ] The others did their best after I got hurt. I've, um, just gotta rest up and I'll be right as rain.

[ ... which he isn't doing. at all. he'll do it, he swears, but he's gotta find meddy. ]
