"You could say that," he answered flatly. He let Kiryu lead the way through the apartment; seeing as Bruno had only been here for less than 24 hours so far, Kiryu probably still knew the lay of the land better than he did anyway.
At the other question, he shot a dry glance around the impeccable apartment (thank you Giselle) and carefully ran a hand over the back of his bandaged head. "I've dealt with worse," he replied.
Now that the unpleasant jolt of finding his one of his own universe-fellows at the front door was starting to wear off, it began to occur to Bruno that this could actually be a good opportunity. He'd been wondering desperately how his friends had been doing these past few days, in the wake of his... well, apparent port-out at best, and brutal murder at worst. His own comm was still either lost or broken and he didn't have any good "in-character" excuse to insist on borrowing one, but even if he had, not all his acquaintances were exactly the "broadcast everything to the Network" types.
He would have to slide carefully sideways into the subject to avoid stirring up any suspicion, though. "I take it you've been here longer, putting it that way," he broached casually, crossing his arms.
