[No reason to not be truthful about it, but Markus’ obviously isn’t as concerned about his own state as much as everyone else’s. The plain way he replies is proof of that.]
I’m better than I was a few days ago. Suffered a gunshot wound to the side — still sore, sometimes still medicated for the pain. But I’m alive and functional, so it’s fine.
[“It’s Fine” will probably be his last dying words, someday.]
I’m glad to hear you’re safe. Make sure to take care of those broken bits, since I can’t do it for you right now.
( because markus is a good guy, and cares about others. wants to make sure everyone else is taken care of before he gets to himself. jason understands that. knows a few of those himself. )
already been stitched up, and i've got no intention of opening those up again.
( for once, he's glad for the implants that text for him. broken knuckles'd make it shit on his fingers. )
once you're up for it, i'll take you out for that drink
[If he knew the extent of Jason’s “brokenness”, also including cracked knuckles, he’d be more concerned. Maybe it’s for the best it’s not mentioned for now.]
No intention, but your track record isn’t the best. Try to take care of yourself.
But I’d like that. I don’t think the medication and a night of drinking would be very good for me right now, but once I’m feeling better, drinks are on me.
( no, he doesn't have the best track record. does jason have any intention of fixing it, though? nah. shit happens. if something comes up, he'll jump right back into the fray. wouldn't be jason todd if he didn't. )
booze works just as well as pain meds, you know. i'd never turn down free drinks
[Well. Here's the question that he knew would've come up sooner or later. Just happens to be sooner, in this case.]
Connor's come a long way from how he used to be. A change of heart will do that to a person. But your question has a complicated and a simple answer. Which one do you want?
[The complicated answer, though he’ll leave out a few details that aren’t his to tell:]
I’m sure it’s obvious, but we’re from the same world. He’s a few days ahead of me, but he’s told me about what happens. The burgeoning android revolution was seen as a threat to many humans, and Connor’s objective was to locate us and take me in, ideally. I managed to change his mind before that could happen, and he realigned his loyalties.
So he’s a close ally and a friend. He defers to my judgment when I impress it on him, but I rely on his advice just as much.
( tends to be what boyfriend means, anyway. jason files the rest of the information for later. connor clearly isn't the best at following directives, but. )
also explains why you're so protective of his face you must like it a lot

but they're irrelevant
check in, markus
( he wants to know if markus is okay. that whole attack was traumatic on numerous levels, a few died, many had horrible injuries, the kids-- )

[Being drunk off one's ass versus being stuck a perpetually sleepy haze via pain pills? Well. Maybe neither are all that flattering.]

Give me a few more days and we'll make drinks a reality. A little more time for Connor's fussing over me to wind down.
