He's been beaten out of place, lopsided, and stitched and molded back together with sutures and bandages. He moves oddly and slowly, but there's one side of his face intact, and it's that side that smiles at Ruby now.
"I'm glad to see you," he says instead of answering her. He doesn't know who was hurt and who might have died; he's isolated out here, trapped in the cabin to protect himself from further injury. He nearly didn't make it. "Come sit with me by the fire."
