( again, a twitch of annoyance, though it goes away as fast as it's there. he sighs. unconsciously, his body shivers a little, likely from further blood loss. peil took a lot the day prior besides, so it's no wonder he feels this weak. but it's frustrating. at the same time, despite the shivering, his body will seem increasingly hot, the lines of light under his flesh brighter too, aggravated by spikes of emotion. this isn't something even peil has seen in other previous clones. usually it only happens when the individual is piloting. in this, 4 is perhaps, a decent test subject but that all depends on the purpose. in terms of survival, if he knew that might be what it's for, he would laugh. well, maybe. 4 isn't given over to laughter, so actually, maybe he wouldn't.

he does answer medicine pocket, not seeing anything to be gained from refusing. )

It's exhibiting the aggravation of the permet in my body, but it's not technically the skin. You're just seeing it through — !

( he shifts a little bit underneath medicine pocket, but it's a frail attempt to throw them off at best, and perhaps not the best time since the blade is indeed still against his skin, but even 4's borderline self-destructiveness has its own threshold of patience. )
