[Blam. The ear-shattering explosion of the gun discharging makes his eyes water and his ears ring, one hand moving to his midsection. The pain takes a moment to set in, but it's sharp like a burn. Delayed, but rapidly intensifying, and blood--
Except he's fine.
His vision come back into focus and his knees had given out, probably looking every bit of the crazed junky profile. One hand is at his stomach, as though he'd been shot (he hasn't-- though there's a brand new hole in the floorboards right at his foot), and he looks slightly lost as his mind returns to what's real, what's right in front of him.
...real?
Heart pounding, he tries to ignore that. Look, he's fine. He just came here to give the guy a heads up about his stock, and maybe get his cash back. Which requires getting his tongue to work in his dry mouth to answer the question he's been asked.]
Like-- like that just now. [A swallow, a shake of the head, and he'll work on trying to articulate it better.] I've had shit that makes you hallucinate before, alright? This wasn't that. I just figured you should know in case other people get the same shit happening.
