[His eyes flutter back open and a smile rises to his face again, this one more genuine. He might not deserve any of Jin Ling's care, but for whatever reason, he still has it.]
Just tired. I'm sure the medicine they gave you will do its job.
[Unlike before, he doesn't seem to be putting up a front. He is still a little feverish and his leg aches, but it's nothing like earlier. The residual effects are pretty much what's to be expected. Given the severity of the venom and the injury, it'll probably take a couple of days before he's really feeling back to normal, especially with his low cultivation. He stands then, starts to take a step and then pauses. He doesn't need the help, but he's going to limp and Jin Ling is going to get huffy and he's too tired to deal with that.]
Be a good child and help me walk over? [His teasing grin doesn't entirely cover the exhaustion in his eyes but he does his best.]
