[ BOY, THAT SURE WAS AN EXCITING DAY, WASN'T IT
steve is slightly stabbed and slightly beaten up from today's activities, and the room still has the lingering smell of both burnt cloth and Dickson's blood; the combination of these two things only worsens the enormous amount of stress in his system, and he's back to pacing around the room like a caged animal the way he had the very first day. It could be said that things turned out pretty well overall: they found a staff member, they learned a little bit more about the parameters of their escape and the holes in their memories, and, most shockingly, Angel managed to survive. (Jack didn't, of course, but he didn't know him as well, and he's not so soft-hearted and good that he's torn up about that.)
Even so, he can't help feeling like he screwed up. It's a disastrously familiar feeling, too. He wonders if has something to do with the memories he's apparently missing. ]
You sure you're gonna be okay?
[ she did ... stab herself. among other things. ]

For now, however, she needs to tend to her leg and upper arm. The first aid kit is presumably still within the room, but...]
Yes. I'm still alive. That should suffice, but — I admit I'm incredibly weary. This day has been too long.
[Its almost like it'll never end. God. After a beat, she gives him a thin smile.]
... Thank you again, Steve. I'm sorry for everything that's happened today. I know it was unpleasant for everyone.

How can you say that? I should be the one apologizing to you! They were all ready to kill you just to get out of here, and I couldn't do anything... Damn it! [ his fist thumps against one of the walls. it seems like there's some underlying issue here besides just being concerned about Angel... but, frankly, even Steve isn't sure what it is. He doesn't remember. Too bad Rhys isn't here so he could snap his neck and remember (apparently.) Steve sighs, shoulders slumping. ]
... 'm sorry. Not helping. [ a glance around the room. ] ... Is that first aid kit still here? You could probably use it.
