"Yeah, I might as well make myself useful somehow. Ghost, even though he's totally sweet on Matt, is getting real tired of our bullshit." Djinn poured two cups of tea through a little metal strainer. "Though I'm gonna have to do something about those outfits. Speaking of stupid-looking, we need to have a talk about that armor of yours." He handed Brandon one of the cups. "First of all, it's impractical as fuck. More importantly, it makes you look fuckin' dumb. I'm just gonna have to design something a bit more practical (and stylish) for you." He sipped his tea quietly.
"And... it's no big deal, really. Like, I guess I'm just a totally nice person." He smirked, and gave a little one-shoulder shrug. "Besides, if and when whatever shit hits the fan, you might want someone there." Djinn sat down on the stool next to Brandon and sighed. "What are you gonna do about your wounds? They look pretty well cauterized but you might want to wash up before they go septic. I can help you get to the bathroom, if you need it, and I've got a really nice mineral soak somewhere around here that'll jump-start your healing. Besides, once you've got all that blood off, I can set up someplace other than the floor for you to sleep."
