[They can argue about the morality of attacking those who'd attacked them first all day, but Verso will not linger on what's unimportant. It's impressive, really, how quickly and easily he replies to Gustave's not-quite-fishing.]
Maybe I'm just not used to the impossible being possible. [TO SAY THE LEAST] Adjusting to this city hasn't been easy. Seeing another Expeditioner was like a slap to the face on top of it all.
[And this isn't untrue, either.
Verso nearly doesn't know what to make of this, really. If Gustave is here, then the powers that drive this world—whatever they may be—can do more than just undo death. They can undo non-existence.
Though this shouldn't be news to him, either, given his own state.]
You're hurt. You need to be bandaged.
[That darkness isn't hiding the obvious, Gustave. And Verso's healing chroma can only apply to himself, not others.]
