[The memory is an intense one, and it plays in his head as he was making his way. Her words play in his head, but there's no reply. His head's far from empty for once, thoughts running a bit wild as he thinks about and dissects the new memory, thinking about how much of it just makes him want to—to—grab her and shake her, honestly! Probably a good deal more than that, but right now he wants to get through to her. Even if it's pointless, even if he knows this is a losing battle.
When he enters her room, he certainly looks rough. His face has since been tended to, but there's still clear inflammation from his fights, that shiner is still dark around his eye, and even with some tape on his lip, it's clear the thing has been busted. At least the blood from around his nose has been cleaned, but his poor schnoz is still pretty tender and a little pink.
However, he doesn't give a single fuck how he looks right now. Instead, he's looking at Jill with uncharacteristic gentleness. Seeing her after a week of not, after the week they've both been through. It's hard to keep himself from going over there and just pulling her into an embrace. It's all he wants to do, it's all his mind can yell at him to do.
Unfortunately he's left frozen in place, combating with himself on what to do now. It seemed so obvious an answer in his head, but now he's here and he's stiff with indecision.]
Maybe she can help with that

Hey...
[He's at least able to get that much out.]
