"Yes. You'll be even happier to know that it was Connor who did it."
Its voice is different; looser, softer at the edges. It's just... tired. And it has never felt this kind of weariness before, so it has no frame of reference on severity, no preparation for dealing with it... particularly since there's nothing it can really do. It can rest and eat well, but no matter how healthy its own body is, it seems the wear and tear L is putting his through can't stop leaking over the Bond, draining away at his partner's vitality.
"Speaking of, I assume you're here to talk to him?"
No snappy comebacks, or snide remarks about Rich's own appearance. It wants to get this encounter over with-- facing Rich while it's in such a state is incredibly uncomfortable. It feels too human like this. Rich has been nothing but disrespectful to it since his arrival already; what is seeing it in this sorry state going to cause in him?
It feels a sting of annoyance at itself for even going to the door.
