"Hey, you've got York. Leave me one and I'll get back to you."

[ It only takes a minute to wrap some ice in a towel, and York hesitates before reaching up with his other hand to hold North's head steady. Pressing the makeshift icepack to his cheek. ]

You gonna tell me who?

[ He says it lightly enough, but there's the real concern he might go after whoever it was, at least to confront them about it. ]

[sightsset]

... Wash.

[He knows there's concern, but he also knows York respects him. He doesn't have to just let that happen.]

It was necessary. [He continues while he reaches up to take the ice pack so he can hold it up himself.] And it worked.

[infailtration]

...it worked? Maybe I should let him punch me in the face, too, then.

[ He lets North take the icepack, stepping back and leaning on the kitchen counter. ]

But that's not why you're here?

[sightsset]

No, it's... it's not.

[North settles against the counter next to him, one eye closed for the pressure under it from the bag, and the other's gaze cast to the floor.]

... Some things came out in the argument we had. Things... I didn't know about. Haven't experienced.

[ York has a sinking feeling that this is gonna be about South. Who he hasn't been terribly kind to since she arrived, honestly. He can't. He just... can't even look at her.

He sighs through his nose, decides to let North be the one to bring things up. He's not gonna guess and maybe dump more on the other man if he's wrong. ]

...you want to take this to my room?

[sightsset]

[North nods to him, assuming that if he's offering, Carolina's not there.

[The worst part is, he doesn't know about South's betrayal. He doesn't know about the circumstances surrounding either of their deaths. He just knows they happened, he assumes it was the Meta, and he knows he failed to keep his sister safe.]

[infailtration]

Come on. And keep that ice on.

[ York turns, leading North to the appropriate door in the suite. Inside it's tidy and clean, and there's a little potted plant on the nightstand -- Diana's touch. Nothing stands out as it being his and Carolina's room.

He closes the door behind North and gestures for him to sit down. The bed's comfy enough. ]

So what did Wash tell you?
