[Sounds come first, scraping and rustling with a black screen until the viewfinder is finally shifted enough to catch a glimpse of the outside of the Moon Knight's HQ before turning fully and capturing a very haggard, exhausted, pale looking Lie Ren, one hand picking bits of crystal out of his long unkempt hair and the very red remnants of what killed him on his face and neck. Not scars exactly, and they'll fade with time, but for now it's a painful reminder on his skin of what happened to him.

He blinks in an almost startled manner after a moment, seemingly catching his own face in the video. He quickly tugged a hood over his head then shut the video off, opting instead for text.]

I'm back.

I know people were looking for me.

I'm sorry for being the cause of worry.

I'll be heading back home shortly.

[He doesn't offer an explanation for anyone who missed what happened. If asked he'll say, but he won't name the person responsible if it's not already known.

He could also be run into on his way back to Level 2, if anyone chances upon him that way.]

Ah, well, if it's for Tadashi...

[ Hunk half-coos the dog's name, cradling his head and scritching. He tosses Ren a wink while he's at it, just to assure that it's not just cute dogs he's here for. That'd be a bit of a mean serve, huh?

And to double up on that assurance, just in case: ] Hanging for a while's cool. I'm here for as long as you need, man.

[Tadashi is absolutely eating this up. He loves his human plenty but vigorous head scratches haven't been much of a thing since Ren got back.

Ren managed a faint smile, barely there but lighting his eyes in a way that was less dull and exhausted than before.]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
