voice; I'm sorry for all the bracket-tealdear...
[Asch relaxes by maybe the smallest fraction known to humanity, and no more. So she'd be careful.]
[But unfortunately he's not a huge fan of personal questions. Asch considers his current status, old injuries which haven't completely healed, and then the painful weak feeling that's been coming and going more frequently as of late. There is no "all right" or even "mostly all right", but for the moment (restraints aside) his body seems to be functioning more-or-less normally. And it doesn't hurt anywhere.]
Nothing I can't handle. [Then because that might raise questions.] ...I'm fine.
