[Blinks at the tenderness and he can't hide the fond happy grin. It's weird and damned nice to have someone looking after him again for a change. And it's been awhile for that really. Still, he doesn't change out of the calm monotone.]

Yes'm.

He wasn't as badly beat up as Ace I think. Just... shook up too. I sent them to go find a doctor, and if I'm actually lucky for once, they'll have listened. [They didn't, but Marco will be calling one soon to check on them anyway.] And for all Ace seems to think Sabo's a little fragile in comparison, Sabo's a pretty tough kid, eh? He's been through worse.

[Fumbles with the sandals and actually hisses at removing one of the straps that seems to have nearly fused with a cut, yup, he definitely overdid it on killing those bastards. Oh well. But other than that, he's just relieved to get it clean.]
