[Keith listened, still working his arm a bit as she explained things. He nodded as she finished.]
Yeah. I uh... I've had an injury on this shoulder before... the collarbone, actually. It was a couple years ago, though. But I can fight with either hand, so that's not really an issue.
[Keith knew how to switch hands in combat, and dual-wield, so he wasn't really worried about having to protect an arm. He just had to make sure his opponent didn't pick up on any favoring and try to use it against him. Not everyone here was scrupulous in their fighting and they might try to attack it as a weakness.
That said, she probably wasn't wrong about him being a repeat patient... considering the very visible scar along his right cheek. Not always because of tournaments and casual fighting, though, either. He was a big dumb hero type, after all.]
Right, okay... [Using his left arm for leverage, he got up carefully. His balance was actually really good, even after having an ankle injury, and he was definitely aware of his body movements, so his athletic build wasn't just a look. The first few steps still had a bit of a limp as his body and brain processed the sudden change in his situation, but it faded with more steps, and his gait became steadier rather quickly.] Heh... [He looked back over at Naomi with a sheepish smile.] You know... with all the healing tech we have back home, you'd think I'd be used to quick healing by now.
[He turned, still being a little ginger rotating on that ankle as he got used to it, but he'd get there, and then headed over to pick up the chest piece of his armor.]

I appreciate the help.
