Still awkward. They aren't bad, just superficial things. He forgets because everyone is so screwed up, out there, that minor injuries start to look normal. Feel normal. It becomes unremarkable. And for Daryl, even grievous injuries have been unremarkable— he feels disoriented, all of a sudden, even more than when they first arrived.
"Uh."
Hm. He looks away, and it doesn't take someone who can read microexpressions to tell he's embarrassed.
"... I'm gonna go get some rest, I think. I promise I'll get these looked after."
He doesn't know why he says I promise. It sounds corny. But it out of his mouth before he can think of anything else to say about it, and so he has to just leave it there. Sitting still only because he's sure getting up and bolting inside would look even weirder.
