video | he still thinks he's in "out with the old"

[justicecrusader]

[ The first thing that could be seen was a shot of the medbay ceiling, followed immediately with a groggy groan. The camera unsteady, taking a few seconds to settle on the man's face... before showing Reinhardt, out of his armor, looking every bit like he just got up from a long sleep. ]

Augh... I feel like I slept the sleep of the dead...

[ Bad choice of words there, but he sure isn't awake enough to notice. One hand coming up to rub the sleep from his eyes, as he continued. ]

Friends, tell me... [ His hand came down from his face, looking more than a little concerned. ] Was anyone hurt? Are the veterans safe?

[ He chuckles at that. ]

I will get back to you on that, my friend... I am not sure myself.

[crossfading]

[ At least he's willing to admit it. ]

Anything I can do?

[justicecrusader]

Well, first, I need to actually get out of bed.

[ A beat. ]

... Whether I want to is a different matter entirely.

[crossfading]

Hey, if you're voluntarily taking it easy? I'm not gonna be the one to try and get you up.

[justicecrusader]

[ Yeah, that earns a more earnest laugh. ]

Oh, by the way. When did you get here, my friend? It is great to see you again!

[crossfading]

Great to see you too!

Me? I got here about a week ago, give or take. Still kinda taking everything in, you know?

[justicecrusader]

A week?

[ He lets out a hearty laugh. ]

My, I must've been out for quite some time to have missed your arrival!

[crossfading]

Hey, don't sweat it. It's all good.

[justicecrusader]

I will have to make it up to you, you realize.

[crossfading]

You don't have to.

[justicecrusader]

Yes, but I want to.

[crossfading]

[ And he laughs lightly, holding his hands up in surrender. ]

Okay, fair enough.
