Toda groaned.

"I'm trying to sleep, phone..." He murmured, turning over in his bed, and then cringing in pain as he put pressure on his leg. Oh right, his life wasn't exactly normal anymore... He carefully sat up, pulling the blankets off to get a look at his leg. Bato'd put the bandage up as high as he could, most of it able to be hidden under a pair of shorts, but he'd still have to wear actual pants if he wanted to be on the safe side... He took a moment to watch a few raindrops trickle down his window before leaning over and picking up his phone; There was a chance these texts would be important. When he saw it was from Jill and neither in all caps, or spelled properly, he relaxed and pull the covers back over his lap.

Toda wasn't quite sure how to reply. He decided he'd try to figure it out while he got himself some clothes for that day. He carefully swung his legs over the edge of the bed and started to stand slowly, but as soon as he started to put weight on his bad leg he winced and sat back down quickly. Alright, it's fine, there's no hurry... He took a few deep breaths, then tried to stand again, putting a hand on his nightstand to brace himself as he put the weight on his leg again. "Okay, so at least I'm standing now..." He murmured as he started to limp towards the closet. Once there he leaned against the wall and looked over his available clothing. His usual layered anchor shirt needed to be washed... and to have the sleeve stitched up... He supposed he'd wear his part-time pirate, and a pair of baggy pants he hadn't worn in forever, that was bound to be much easier to put on than a pair of jeans, or worse... He just remembered to grab a pair of socks as well before staggering back to his bed and sitting down. Thank Judd that was over, now he could take a bit of a break before changing clothes. Oh, Jill'd messaged him again while he was picking out clothes.
